Yeah Canada has it on its own, which is odd.
You can have it shipped here np. Or I can try and snag one at Walmart here (ordering from walmart.ca for my own to be safe). Not sure the cost to ship there, I'll look into it |
Awesome, thanks. :heart:
Could you PM me your address? |
Got all of this wave so far except Bowser Jr. Only reason I haven't grabbed him is because toysrus.ca has $8.91 shipping cost... seems bullshit. Gonna check the store in Kitchener here after work and hopefully they have some. Otherwise I'll just bite the bullet and get it shipped.
|
Bowser Jr acquired
Woo |
Was able to pick up a zero suit samus. Was the one I wanted most out of this wave, so I'm a pretty happy camper.
|
I got the entire wave ordered (except Modern Mario). I already have Bowser Jr, and the rest should be here next week.

Mega Man Legacy Collection will feature amiibo support - unlock challenges
Mega Man amiibo will be used to unlock challenges, kinda like how the Splatoon ones currently are in Splatoon. Kinda cool. Hoping there's a slight restock when this launches if that's the case since I do not yet have a Mega Man :D |
If you happen to come to the Bay Area, I have an extra Mega Man you can have.
|
Sweet, I'll find an excuse to make it out that way in 2016 :p
|
Tigers play @Oakland next year, maybe I can swing something there...
May 27 at OAK May 28 at OAK May 29 at OAK |
Dr. Mario and 8-bit Modern Mario arrived today woohoo
|
I too have a MM amiibo for trade/sale.
|
How many of these things do you two have? Poit and RDD.
|
Poit has all of the currently released amiibo, as far as I know.
I have probably about half of them... I think between 30-40, I haven't fully counted in a bit. I started late to the game and missed a lot of the earlier ones. Plus I haven't scooped up all of the super common ones (Peach, Bowser SMB, etc) but I can get those any time |
Poit, I need a Palutena. Got a spare?
|
Palutena's always flickering on Amazon, I didn't think she was that difficult to get even after the initial release
|
Amiibo cards currently available for pre-ordering. Series 1 focuses on Animal Crossing.

I don't think I'm gonna do the Cards. I'm kinda wishy-washy with AC in general but the cards just seem too much..
|
Apparently Activision sort of forgot to include a nose for Bowser for the special Skylander amiibo. Also seems to be part of a wider problem with the current set of Skylanders figurines having defects or being poorly made.

So impatient... want to pick up my retro 3-pack today but @work. Glad I pre-ordered though, should be there once I get off @_@
|
How do these work with Super Mario Maker? Do they allow you to specify what you actually get out of the amiibo mushroom, rather than it just being random. Is there anything else you can do to get that?
|
Yep. So normally if you just select the Mystery Mushroom and place it in a block, it will choose a random costume. If you select the mushroom you can specify a specific costume you'd like it to choose, based on what you have available.
You can unlock all of the costumes normally through playing 100-Mario Challenge, the amiibo just gives you a quicker way to unlock specific ones. |
I'm unlocking them, but I can't figure out how to control what they come out as. Is that only for amiibo owners? Or do I just have to tap the placed mushroom again?
|
No you should be able to even without any amiibo (i.e. if you've unlocked Shy Guy or the trampoline etc).
Not at my console right now but if I remember off the top of my head, you can place the Mystery Mushroom in the level (not in a block yet, just floating), then tap it once it's been placed and it will open up a screen of your available costumes, then you can drag it into a block etc. Maybe it isn't a tap, maybe you have to shake it. The exact method is slipping my mind atm |
It isn't a shake
|
I'm pretty sure it's just a tap... can dick around with it when I get home
|
Oh yeah, I meant to post this about amiibos, sorry.

For those interested in the game, Nintendo announced Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam for the 3DS will be compatible with 18 amiibo figurines. Mostly Mario and Yoshi based ones according to the chart.

I wish I wasn't going on vacation at the end of this month. Yoshi's Wooly World coming out October 16... bundle comes with green yarn Yoshi, and then light blue, pink, and mega Yoshi all releasing that day as well.
Might try and get the blue/pink ones because I know they'll be rarer, then grab green+game and the mega any time after, I can't imagine they will fly off shelves at their prices |
Mega Yarn Yoshi amiibo teased to be a Toys'R'Us exclusive at least in the US.

toysrus.ca had Mega Yoshi up ............. at 5:00 am. It lasted 8 minutes. :|
I thought they had gotten better at this shit |
I nearly got some amiibos, and/or some Disney Infinity stuff, and it all looks great, but the aspect that you have to strive to get this plastic tat ultimately turns me off sadly. Running around like a flaming moron queueing up for a bit of rubbish, I can't bring myself to do it any more.
I also refuse to be stuck with the leftover amiibos that aren't worth scalping. |
Yeah it really harkens back to the beanie baby crap, there's just too much limited quantity that you really need to make a commitment to get some of it. Arguably not worth the hassle.
They seem to be getting more popular in general though. I mean, between amiibo, Disney Infinity, Skylanders, and hell even Lego Dimensions now... seems to be the flavour-of-the-month type toy for the foreseeable future |
Yarn Yoshis are a bit smaller than I was expecting but still the most adorable things I own. So happy with them.
|
I'd probly get an actual yarn yoshi stuff animal, but not the amiibo
|
You're better off doing that I think, the amiibo ones are really small
Except the Mega one but it's like $60 so totally not worth it |
Shovel Knight amiibo currently rumored for a December 18th release date based on a recent update on Best Buy's website.
http://www.destructoid.com/shovel-kn...y-319200.phtml |
Mewtwo and KK Slider on the 13th and Falco on the 20th. Then I'm done until Ryu and Roy drop.
|
Saw Mewtwo while in the UK, was gonna grab it but with the currency exchange rate it didn't make sense... don't think it'll be too rare to grab on the 13th
|
Considering I work at a store that sells them part time, not at all.
|
Update: I bought a number of old Disney Infinity sets. FFS.
|
What's the quality of the Disney ones like? I've never really given them a proper looking at
|
The first run ones are alright, but it seems like there's a big step up in style for the 2.0 ones. I'd say the super hero ones are a bit generic, the disney characters seem far more detailed, maybe because they're not as part of a playset they have to put more effort in to justify that character. The game are a mixed bag but I like the concept. Was able to pick up a bunch of different 1 and 2 sets for relatively low prices.

sweet @ Ryu

Gotta say, I'm wholly underwhelmed with getting all the Animal Crossing amiibo. Haven't bought any of them yet and going to take my time getting them. I don't believe any of them are particularly rare so I can wait on them.
Seeing that Gold Mario is getting restocked in Japan next month. Don't know if there's any plans to reprint it in North America, so this may be my only chance to get it at a somewhat reasonable price. Really can't wait for preorders in Canada to go up for Twilight Princess HD. That Wolf Link amiibo looks so good |
The Animal Crossing amiibo thing looks messed up. So you play a board game, but the players who have the amiibos get a bonus point per turn.
My friend just sent me a japanese 30th anniversary modern Mario so I now have an amiibo |
I didn't spend much time looking at the game because it looks just like Mario Party but with the Animal Crossing universe. The entire concept seemed so entirely boring to me.
|
It looks like Mario Party without minigames
|
lol that just sounds so bad
|
The mini-games stuff unlocks at a lot slower pace than in the Mario Party series. Think it only really starts to unlock after the 2nd or 3rd game played at least for free play mode.
Didn't watch all of Giantbomb's play of the game but seems like the biggest thing unlocked after playing the first time is just the ability to pick which month in a year a game takes place in. |
Europe will be getting the Shovel Knight amiibo about a month before North America.
Quote:
|
The price is interesting. My understanding is that being third-party they can essentially set their own price, or at least I thought. Glad they're not marking it up
|
Might be able to determine price but know that supply-wise, third parties are mostly in charge of that.
The card amiibos and Yarn Yoshis being different prices probably means Nintendo has a range they'd allow company to charge for their own amiibo brand characters. |
Picked up the last 8 bit Mario at Wal-Mart today. I couldn't not turn it away

Twilight Princess HD rumored to contain an amiibo exclusive dungeon.

Box for the Shovel Knight amiibo allows the ability to scan without taking the figurine out since Yacht Club wanted to please collectors and in a way help ensure more of the figurine would be available in stores. Quote:

I mean... that's cool and all, but like... the New 3DS has an NFC reader built into it. I can see hilarity ensuing if Nintendo fully goes that route.
|
Oh I got a wool Yoshi too. Fuck me like.
|
'ell yeah
which colour? |
Just the green one. It was like £3 more for the game with the amiibo vs without. I can't see me getting into it any further, maybe a fourth one day so I can have a full Smash team.
|
Ryu's amiibo appears to be getting released earlier than originally announced.
Quote:
Some details on what the Zelda series amiibo's will do for the upcoming Twilight Princess HD remake. Ganondorf amiibo basically acts as a new hard mode for the game. Quote:

awesome

Looks like Roy is a Gamestop exclusive.

Gotta find out when that's available in Canada.
Meanwhile, the Wave 2 of Animal Crossing guys are up for pre-order. Even though I don't care about most of them, I needs me a Mr. Resetti (and will get all of them regardless because SIGH) |
Nintendo announced a few Pokemon amiibo figurines will be getting a re-release as part of the upcoming 20th Anniversary for Pokemon.
Was part of the larger announcement for the next wave and dates for amiibos. Quote:

Cool... still missing Jigglypuff :D
I'm surprised Nintendo hasn't started a full line of Pokemon amiibo. That would literally finance them for the next 2 decades alone. It's gotta be in their pipeline |
I'd imagine they'd make Pokemon amiibo cards, like with the Animal Crossing ones. Making 700+ figurines seems a bit much.
|
Quote:
|
The cards are shitty, I'm not buying any of them even if they make a damn Cubone or Sandshrew
|
My Lucas amiibo came in the mail today. I really like it. The pose and the quality and size and everything just look good. One of my fav ones I think.
|
For those interested in Pokken Tournament, all amiibo figurines and Shadow Mewtwo amiibo card will unlock stuff in the game.

Mega Yarn Yoshi getting lots of restocks. I believe March 20th in the US, but March 11th here in Canada. Seems to be decent stock all around:
http://imgur.com/a/gVSxq Still $60, hoping this dissuades the scalpers a bit. Really don't want to spend the money on it but IT'S A HUGE (relatively speaking) FRIGGIN' YOSHI so yeah. -edit- March 18 in Canada, not 11 |
Not sure about AMERICALAND but tomorrow here in Canada #bigday for amiibo tomorrow...
Roy, Ryu and Famico R.O.B. released tomorrow, as well as Pokken Tournament and the Shadow Mewtwo card. Animal Crossing S3 cards and some physical amiibo as well. Toys R Us restocking MYY too. Crap... going to hurt my wallet. Preordered Roy Ryu and ROB, and Pokken already... still need that MYY so I will probably bite the bullet on him... |
Might get Pokken and throw it on the pile of shit I'm not playing due to Stardew Valley. Debating about the weird controller thingy too.
Then the only Amiibo I want is Cloud. |
I'm not a fan of fighting games at all but I'm a total Pokemon mark (and I needed to pre-order SOMETHING Pokemon-related to get a poster on Pokemon Day at EB :D)
|
My amiibo display is going to run out of space soon...
|
MYY sold out online before I had a chance to look. Guess I won't be buying this one after all
|
Got Pokken ordered to go pick up whenever I can be arsed walking up there.
|
Yeah I got my call yesterday to pick mine up. Might run to EB on lunch and grab it, debating making a quick run to the local TRU to see if they have any MYY in-store as well
|
Quote:
I'd rather have the smaller ones personally. |
I think I'm definitely shying away from my "GOTTA CATCH 'EM ALL" mentality and I'm perfectly okay missing out on this if they keep making it unreasonable to get with any semblance of sanity. The small ones are pretty rad, agreed
|
Don't hate Nintendo. Hate your competition for these things. Everyone wanking into a frenzy like they're beanie babies. Take a look at the man in the mirror.
|
naw, Nintendo of America has handled stock levels pretty bad all around. there's plenty of stock of a lot of the rarer ones in most European countries and even Japan (where Nintendo anything is exponentially more popular than in the US)
|
It seems easier here since Amazon and other suppliers can be more centralised. Yanks always seem a bit funny about ordering stuff from Amazon. It's also possible we have less scalpers here, but I dunno. As I said there were a shitload of Nesses in that shop I went to, maybe its luck.
|
I think the scalper issue is more prominent here for sure
In any case, got my MYY today woohhoo. Just need gold Mario and a few early waves then some commons now |
