I'm so jealous of every one of these posts. One day I'll eventually see any of the Fire Emblem line, right?

There were a bunch of Marth at my Best Buy a few weeks ago. Check a few retailers and they might have some. Ike has been getting a few reruns here and there. Robin and Lucina though theoretically don't exist and if it weren't for the fact I waited 4 hours outside a Best Buy for one of the 2 of each they had I'd believe they were just a myth.
I finally had some luck on securing more uncommon amiibos. I got Villager and Charizard.
A good thing to because I got to make this for my friend's birthday.

I have a lot of fun making these. I find it more interesting then the normal figures.
And I go cross county and waste 8$ on a transit ticket to learn the TRU I thought was there was actually a TRU express and didn't carry Amiibos. Now the next closest one is a 30 minute bus ride in another county through the worst fucking neighborhood known to man, West Oakland.
might get mabel just to swap her stand with sonic's tbh

What one are you looking for? I could buy one and mail it to you.
I'm still trying to trade pacman/charizard first run American NiB for a greninja
Going for a pint with the bird :^)

I'm still sad Toys R Us was sold out of the Mega Yarn Yoshi.
is mewtwo attainable like the 3 pack is or not
[QUOTE=VenomousBeetle;49144715]is mewtwo attainable like the 3 pack is or not[/QUOTE]
My local Toys R Us, which gets cleaned out pretty regularly by a few different local scalpers and even the employees themselves, had three full columns of pegs of nothing but Mewtwo. I think you're good.
Anyway while I'm here might as well share:

Have Falco and a Modern 8-Bit Mario coming later today, have myself a Robin and the full Animal Crossing set preordered on AmiAmi, missing Palutena, Lucina, Rosalina, Gold Mario, Mega Yarn Yoshi and Meta Knight. When those hit less than 20 bucks on Amazon or get a Japanese reissue I'll pick them up.
Never thought I'd ever come this close to having a full set, if I'm honest. Started off just buying the ones I like, turns out I like more Nintendo characters than I thought.
Has it ever occurred to you that you may have slightly too much Kirby?
[QUOTE=Everything;49147755]Has it ever occurred to you that you may have slightly too much Kirby?[/QUOTE]
I absolutely do not have enough.
[QUOTE=Everything;49147755]Has it ever occurred to you that you may have slightly too much Kirby?[/QUOTE]
Well that's only one Mass Attack's worth of Kirby, so I'd say he's doing just fine.
Why is Kirby so hard to find now? I remember he used to be common as a Mario amiibo
[QUOTE=Mio Akiyama;49150035]Why is Kirby so hard to find now? I remember he used to be common as a Mario amiibo[/QUOTE]
I guess they just sold through the initial stock of him, finally. Either he's a more popular amiibo than mario or he's really unpopular and just took forever to sell through the stock.
...by the way, [url=http://www.amiami.com/top/detail/detail?scode=FIGURE-010311-S002&rank=]Lucina's in-stock on the Japanese figure website AmiAmi.[/url] They're trustworthy, I order my weeb shit from them all the time. I wouldn't pay Japanese shipping prices for one amiibo, but since I have a big order of gundam kits and Amiibo with them I nabbed one. If you decide to order one, pick SAL or EMS for the shipping, not FedEx or RSAL. Just trust me on that.
EMS is definitely your best bet when shipping from Japan. Otherwise it'll get lumped with retail tier shipments and will most likely get to you late, sometimes days to a week late.
[QUOTE=Everything;49150159]EMS is definitely your best bet when shipping from Japan. Otherwise it'll get lumped with retail tier shipments and will most likely get to you late, sometimes days to a week late.[/QUOTE]
RSAL is the worst of the bunch because its a low priority shipment with a tracking number, meaning that the workers handling it will be like "oh geez I have to scan this? well it's low priority so fuck it" and then they just put it down and it doesn't go anywhere for a week.
EMS is expensive but fast, SAL is slow-ish, cheap, and has no tracking number, all other options are wastes of money.
I've had a big stack of AC amiibo Card packs that I hadn't opened, and I finally tore them all open today for my inaugural amiibo Party playthrough.

48 unique, 18 dupes. Not that bad, considering some of the stories I've read. Not sure if I'll collect them all, but once my European collector's album arrives I'll probably be heavily tempted to. At least the uniform rarity across all cards makes trading very easy, since everyone just goes 1-for-1 with any card.
Bonus picture of my collection:

I never thought it would grow this big, but my display stands have actually run out of space. Falco, the AC 3-pack, Mabel, and Lottie are all on their way now, and I'm either going to have to finally separate a series or two off into a new display or scrunch all these together even more than they already are...
All I'm currently missing is Mega Yarn Yoshi. My TRU sold out before I got there...
falco is best buy exclusive, right? swinging by after work this morning. should be there by opening.
[QUOTE=Itachi_Crow;49150840]falco is best buy exclusive, right?[/QUOTE]
Yeah.
Alright well here's hoping there's no bullshit lines. based on the last few amiibo releases, there won't be a large one if any.
Recently stock for Amiibos has been pretty good for exclusives and should be available at least for launch day rather than just the first part of the line. Hell most of the Targets near me have Dr. Marios in stock even to this day.
Shugo give me a isabelle card I want to build her a house

No judgement, i'm honestly curious: this is somewhere close to $800, right?

I consider replies like this to be kind of rude (Why does everyone always have to ask about cost whenever I post a collection of something?), but yes.
Most amiibo cost $12.99 minimum, barring occasional small discounts you can find on the really common ones and game bundles that make them cheaper/free when you factor out the cost of the game. My own collection is probably a bit more expensive since I got fed up with the stock issues and turned to slightly more expensive importing. If you're smart, though, importing doesn't have to cost much more than US retail (strategically combined shipping and lower retail prices in certain countries).
Unless someone is seeking to mock you for a perceived waste of money with that information, I don't really see much harm in asking.
Those who usually ask this are ones who find the idea appealing but are concerned with just how much of a commitment it really is, which I feel is valid.
Just fyi, Amazon was selling chibi robo by himself yesterday, but it looks like the preorder is already sold out. You can still get it for about $2.00 more if you want a japanese import [url]http://www.amazon.com/Nintendo-Amiibo-Chibi-Robo-Japanese-Import/dp/B012ZINKXS/ref=sr_1_1?s=toys-and-games&ie=UTF8&qid=1448052519&sr=1-1&keywords=Nintendo+Amiibo+Chibi-Robo[/url]

Trying to order Mewtwo from Best Buy is such a pain in the ass. The Paypal option doesn't even work...
