[QUOTE=DChapsfield;47873541]i was at Target today and saw about a dozen Pac-Men. i'm not following the amiibo market, should i have scooped one up? is he rare?[/QUOTE] He's probably the most common of this wave.

Pacman seems universally common. Wario and Charizard are uncommon and seem to depend on the store which you'll find. Robin is rare, Lucina is unicorn. Now I say Robin is only "rare" and not unicorn #2 of this wave because I've actually SEEN him once or twice. Lucina I've not seen a single one in person, anywhere.

I made a thing the other day, I might give it to a friend. I never found the front view of the package so I had to make it myself. [t]http://i.imgur.com/FAAH0vo.jpg[/t]

I snagged two Marths on eBay; I'm expecting them to come next week.

[t]http://i.imgur.com/oUmHPKQ.png[/t] I had way too much time on my hands.

Got a Metal Mario. Might go over it with faux-chrome spraypaint to get it REALLY shiny.

[url=http://www.reddit.com/r/amiibo/comments/38hwbm/nfc_character_identification_my_findings_on_the/]So people found some interesting things through datamining[/url]: [quote]I'm a computer science major that's been working closely with the data stored on amiibo, and I'd like to share a brief summary of what I found based on patterns in their identification numbers, as well as conclusions as to what this may mean. I made a new Reddit account for anonymity. Scroll to the bottom if you want to see the meat instead of bits and bytes. So every amiibo character has an 8-byte identification on pages 21 and 22 of the NFC chip. This info contains the general character on page 21 (ie. SSB Mario, SMB Mario, and Golden Mario all have the same page 21), and the print number on page 22 (basically sorted by the number that appears on the upper-right of EU packaging). Page 21 findings---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Here's an example of Mario's page 21. 00 00 00 00 Simple, right? Here's Luigi and Peach. 00 01 00 00 00 02 00 00 Now take Pit: 07 40 00 00 It appears that the first byte as well as the leading 4 bits of the second byte define what game series the character belongs to, while the trailing 4 bits define the specific character. 000_ is the Mario series; 074_ is the Kid Icarus series. However, there are some odd cases. The following are (in order) Link, Toon Link, Zelda, and Sheik: 01 00 00 00 01 00 01 00 01 01 00 00 01 01 01 00 Toon Link and Sheik are defined as the same character as Link and Zelda respectively, but have the third byte set to 01 rather than 00 like all the others. It appears this represents alternate identities of the same character, and is very likely the same for Dr. Mario and ZSS. Here's another interesting case, Rosalina & Luma: 00 04 01 00 Rosalina & Luma is defined as the second version of the Rosalina character with this third byte, meaning an amiibo of Rosalina alone is very possible. The Pokemon characters also don't follow this ID convention as strictly. Below are the Pokemon in the order Charizard, Pikachu, Jigglypuff, Lucario, Greninja: 19 06 00 00 19 19 00 00 19 27 00 00 1a c0 00 00 1b 92 00 00 It would appear from the previous findings that these characters are all from different series, but that is actually not the case. For the Pokemon, the second byte represents a simple number, and the first byte represents a multiple of 256 to add to that number, with 19 being 0, 1a being 1, and 1b being 2 (512). When you convert the hex to decimal and add the 256s, you get some oddly familiar numbers: 06 from hex = 6, 6 + 0 = 6 19 from hex = 25, 25 + 0 = 25 27 from hex = 39, 39 + 0 = 39 c0 from hex = 192, 192 + 256 = 448 92 from hex = 146, 146 + 512 = 658 These are the Pokemons' corresponding National Pokedex numbers. This means that there is space reserved for all 700+ Pokemon. Page 22 findings------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Page 22 seems to correlate to the printed order of the figures, currently sorted by SSB, then SMB, then Splatoon. However, there is some interesting blank space mixed in here. For example, here's page 22 for SSB Mario and SMB Mario: 00 00 00 02 00 34 01 02 It appears the first 2 bytes are for the print number, the third byte is the series (00 for SSB, 01 for SMB), and the 4th byte is always 02 (probably a data consistency check). What's interesting is that SSB seems to continue from hex 00 to hex 33, leaving exactly 52 spaces for Smash Bros. characters. This means that the Mii Fighters are very likely to be printed alongside the regular 49 characters (especially since a Swordfighter prototype has surfaced). In addition, take SMB Mario, SMB Bowser, and Golden Mario: 00 34 01 02 00 39 01 02 00 3c 01 02 There's a skip from 39 to 3c in these print numbers, leaving 3a and 3b unaccounted for. This could point to the possibility of there being two more Mario-series amiibo (with one of them potentially a Luma-less Rosalina). Last point. The third byte of this page represents figure series, so here's SSB Mario, SMB Mario, and Splatoon Girl: 00 00 00 02 00 34 01 02 00 3e 04 02 SSB is 00, SMB is 01, Splatoon is 04. Either Animal Crossing and Yoshi's Wooly World are 02 and 03, or there are 2 more series being planned we haven't heard of yet. [B]Conclusions------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- So, here's a conclusion of what you can see from these data patterns: It's very likely ZSS and Dr. Mario will work the same as Samus and Mario respectively in games like Mario Kart 8 and Ace Combat, with Dr. Mario being usable in Mario Party 10. There may be a Rosalina amiibo without Luma, likely for the Super Mario series. Space is reserved for every Pokemon, which could mean anything. NFC-enabled Pokemon cards, anyone? Mii Fighters are coming. It's likely there are 2 more Mario-series amiibo yet to be announced. There are two amiibo series in limbo. They could either be YWW and AC, or two completely unannounced ones. Well, that was a fun write. See ya guys around.[/B] EDIT: I just noticed I believe I may have miscounted the Smash amiibo. The 52 accounted for would include Mewtwo, as there are 51 characters in the base game and one slot after those 52 accounted for in the number pattern described below. Looks like Lucas will be fit in sometime in the future. [/quote]

[QUOTE=Flyingman356;47883027]should've been a different amiibo, no one even cares about gold mario[/QUOTE] I got you covered. [t]http://i.imgur.com/0F1dPot.png[/t]

[t]http://u.cubeupload.com/psychojake/IMG62672.jpg[/t] More spoils. Now I just need Lucina and Ganon whenever he comes out and I'll be satisfied.

I want some amiibos but they're rare around here unless you want a basic Mario one. :(

[QUOTE=Robot Jesus;47866199]I work at Best Buy, and we ended up getting a surprise shipment of ~16 Meta-Knights today, so I was able to snag 2 of them for friends (already got my own personal one). Granted, everything that was put on display was sold by the end of the night (still got 3 or 4 in the back), but it looks like they're at least resurfacing as a whole, especially since we got that many in Bismarck, North Dakota of all places.[/QUOTE] Follow up to this: came into work this morning, found out we received ANOTHER shipment of Meta Knight's on yesterday's truck, this time around 10 or so were put on the shelf, didn't check to see how many we had in the back. So either we're one of the luckiest stores in the district and got 25 Meta Knight's in the span of 3 days, or they're really starting to pump out Meta Knight through Best Buy as a whole. Also I ended up finding two of these in the warehouse (friend took the other), alongside 4 or 5 silver Mario's. [t]http://i.imgur.com/Hvz9iSh.jpg[/t]

I know my local Target doesn't let their workers buy anything unless they're off-duty and it's already on the shelf for everyone.

My villager is out for delivery!

Are either inkling girls or inkling boys considered rare because theres a few left at a target near me.

I'm pretty sure only the 3 pack is

Mail came early today: [t]http://i.imgur.com/05jK07K.jpg[/t]

[QUOTE=OriginalSpace;47891318]Are either inkling girls or inkling boys considered rare because theres a few left at a target near me.[/QUOTE] They shouldn't be, only thing rare is the inkling squid.

If I can't find him a home, he'll be up for auction later in the month.

[QUOTE=Inspector Jones;47867070][img_thumb]http://i.imgur.com/fzfdFCa.jpg[/img_thumb] Stolen from reddit. Thought it was hilarious. Wish I had Sad Robin. Dude better leave that cased forever. Also; I just love following all the amiibo craze. I guess it's not a wise thing to do considering how many I own.[/QUOTE] Seeing this I had a look at my Robin I have.

My Yoshi and Squid amiibo are in the background too. So from previous pages, I gather Robin is getting pretty rare?

[t]http://i.imgur.com/CPYeO06.jpg[/t] his name is bort

I can't be the only one who thinks the eyes look really... off, on both the SMB Mario and SSB Mario. Outside a very specific angle they look like they're looking at two different things.

I was looking at craigslist for here in my town since my friend wants a certain amiibo, when all of a sudden I see a guy selling like 6 Shulks for $45 each. :v:

I didn't think about craigslist Maybe I can get greninja with my pac and char there
