I dunno, did anyone know about their card business before they hit it off as a gaming business? Maybe they weren't good at it then either
What would be the best way for an America-type guy such as myself to score a bowser jr. amiibo? He's my favorite smash fighter and I don't want to wait for the US release.

The only other way to get one is to overpay like shit on Amazon.

The card business is what they started with when the company was founded, Hanafuda cards to be exact.

I'm aware of that, I was wondering if they were even big prior to moving to games

Definitely, check this video out it pretty much explains all of it well including how successful it was for the company.

Okay, this is annoying me now. Let me clear the air a bit...
AC Amiibo cards will be widely produced and available. What Sift described on the last page were LIMITED EDITION VERSIONS of certain cards that will be much rarer or exclusive to specific things. Think hologram versions; you can have the regular one and it works fine, or you can go for the really sought-after version of it if you want.

I don't see how this wasn't obvious, he literally said it in his post. People are silly.
Limited Edition doesn't always mean low quantity though.
What actually pisses me off is how Nintendo is lowering their supply on purpose just to get higher sells, meanwhile they still haven't fixed the supply issue with figures.
It makes me believe their doing the same with figures.
Unless you want every version of every card, you will have absolutely no trouble getting a complete set.
It will only be specific prints of specific characters limited to specific things or a specific time.
aaand ness ordered. do I have a problem? prolly

You're talking to someone who walked 2 miles (and 2 miles back) for a CHANCE to get King Dedede and Ness when they restocked at Gamestop.
I had sunburn on my neck by the time I got home.

christ dude
Was worth it tho
King Dedede alone was worth it
did you get both of them then
Yep. They had 4 Nesses and 1 King Dedede. I was so fucking relieved I was actually laughing at how dumb I was. I even forgot to bring a water bottle with me for the walk. (I stopped at a laundry mat and got one though)

Apparently Power Up pro members won't be getting in an hour early after all.
My dad surprised me. He said he was only sending me Dark Pit and another mystery one. :v:

Well at least that pro bullshit is gone, now the only thing holding me back is whether or not supply will be 15 packs per store or 150 packs per store.
And whether or not their computers will be good enough to handle it so I can still get to work by 10.

It's not gonna be a web in-store pre-order, it's the traditional style of pre-ordering so there shouldn't be an issue.

Here's a vid of my fe squad duking it out. thanks to keychain and DrCactus for robin/lucina's names
Am I the only person who names their amiibos in all-caps because default character names are all-caps too? :v:

Nope, my WALUIGI (blue Luigi) and LUIGI (green Mario) are like that too.
NoA finally comes out with this.

R.O.B., Game and Watch, and Duck Hunt are ONLY in this pack in the US, so if you want them in their individual boxes, you'll have to start importing.
A Mii Fighter 3-pack is also scheduled for November.
Well, looks like I'll be importing R.O.B. How disappointing, not only is the character exclusive to a store but exclusive again to a triple pack.
Meanwhile at the Gamescom:
At Nintendo's booth they are doing some sort of Amiibo quiz and anyone who's lucky enough to get chosen for it can win up to 7 Amiibos.
[QUOTE=ElderLolz;48380967]Couldn't they pick a date other than 9/11? :v:[/QUOTE]

Aw fuck right off. Guess I'm going to be using that emergency $100 I set aside for DHD after all.
