In this order for me:
1. King Dedede
2. Bowser
3. Meta Knight
Most are decent though and Mega Man does deserve a mention for being spot on and one of the better looking ones.
I don't have Pit.

King Dedede is especially well crafted. The slight gloss on the fur of his coat and rims of his hammer is clever touch. All three heavyweights look awesome honestly; DK and Bowser too.
Rosaline is easily my fave so far, also Pika doesn't get enough love
This is my collection so far. That's Parks & Rec in the background for the curious.
I've been lucky in that I've gotten everyone I've wanted so far. For this next wave, all I really want is Pac Man (and Toad, if we're counting the SMB line). I've got a preorder for Toad, but the lack of US wave 4 preorders is making me nervous. I think my favorite one so far might be Bowser. I was impressed with how weighty he is and how solid he feels. The texturing on his shell is fantastic too. Mega Man is pretty slick too. I'd like Captain Falcon more if his pose didn't require that disturbingly placed clear support. :|

Let's see...
Sonic because he's my favorite character is Smash
Rosalina because I love the colors
Peach has nice details (her dress, you pervs)
I actually really also like the Mario amiibo for some reason.

Yeah Fox is surprisingly good
Bowser, Toon Link and Mega Man are my top 3. Very well made, nice attention to detail. Kirby and Peach also look great.

Dedede is definitely in the top. I can't decide between him, Mega Man, and Shulk. They're all so perfect!
If I could only have one of the ones that have been released, it would be Luigi. He is the epitome of badassery in Smash, and I cannot believe Nintendo had the courage to put his greatest move in trophy form, even though much (lesser evolved forms) of the human race would see him as an embarrassment to the amiibo collection. Nintendo nailed him. After that, Samus, then Toon Link.

Shulk and Pit tie for my favorites right now but they could easily be knocked down the chain by Dark Pit and/or Palutena when they come out
I work at Best Buy. One of my coworkers said we can actually request another store to send an item to us. So he might try to get them to send over 2, doubt it will work. Will just go early tomorrow and see if they have gotten them yet.

I want one so bad. No love for the West Coast in that regard though.
I'm not sure about all the regions/districts but I think I am able to check the whole country and stuff. I'm off today though but my friend wants one bad so trying to help him get it. He blames me for getting him into amiibo lol.
Mega Man is easily the best one. It's the one that most closely resembles the actual Smash model, and the glossy paint gives it a metallic look that fits the character very well. Not to mention no ugly stands whatsoever.
Samus would be second best for similar reasons, though she has clear stands at the bottom of her boots.
Amen. He actually looks exactly like the CG model on the game and since it doesn't have any stand, looks even more awesome. I think this is now my favorite Mega Man design. A design made by Nintendo and not Capcom... who would have thought?
I gotta agree about Mega Man. Easily the best looking one I have so far. I've heard some talk about Dedede but I won't have mine till spring so I can't say for sure. 
Ooo, I'm in Houston and would like to know what store(s) these Mac's will be in. Not having him is taunting me.

Sooo....how about checking the Northern VA area. No real reason...just wondering....
Dedede is just awesome. His amiibo looks so good!
Plus he's so hefty, you could probably chuck him at someone if you needed to defend yourself in a pinch.

I have high expectations for the Greninja and Zero Suit Samus amiibos
EDIT: After thinking about it, is it weird that the box influences my favorite amiibos?

He is the heaviest one at 106 grams. Best out Bowser by 1 gram.

DDD would've been my favorite if I didn't get a fucked up one(which is really frustrating cause that's the one I was looking forward to the most) but alas its mega man and shulk, they're both extremely well built imo with bowser, fox and Rosa right after (in that order)
I throw away the boxes instantly while many cut them so that they can keep the card...maybe I'm the odd one out
I'm right there with you, for me it would be Pit, then Shulk, Mega Man and Villager (because he is my main <3)

Other thread might be dead so I'm going to repost it here.
Imagine this.
GameFreak decide to make a new Pokemon game for mainline. (7th Generation) They decided to do something new with the Amiibo concept.
1. You can't transfer any pokemon from previous games to 7th Generation.
2. You only can capture brand new pokemon in the wild, and there wouldn't be any old pokemon in the wild. Also it would apply to other things like NPC trading, etc.
3. Only way you could get old pokemon in your game is buying specific pokemon Amiibo that you want.
4. They would only print 500k Amiibo for specific Legendary Pokemon to emphasize it's rarity. (YES, 500K FOR WORLDWIDE RETAILERS)
5. 750K Amiibo for Pseudo-Legendary Pokemon' final evolution
6. Shiny Pokemon Amiibo would be extremely rare, like 1 out of 100,00 Amiibo. Heck, you wouldn't know which stores would get it. It is like winning a state lottery.
Edited 1: I decided to edit the numbers from 1M to 500k and 750k

I almost fell out of my seat because of that.
You could never do that because then the retail employees could take advantage of knowledge of that product at their store. They'd have to package the Amiibo in a way that it cannot be seen before opening.

It seemed Dedede did get one shipment that showed up at Toys R Us. Ike seems to be Fire Emblem tier so far, unfortunately.
Our local Gamestop still hasn't ever gotten any D3's or Ikes for their pre-orders and they don't have shipments in the system, not even a placeholder date.

Yep, I know.
It might be best way to see if workers are being honest or not. Chaotic Mess at the best.

Not making a thread because it's ridiculous and almost certainly wrong, but just got informed of a South African retailer who put up some new amiibo pre-orders

Hilarious and almost certain to be false, but I want it to happen regardless Splatoon amiibo make sense, since you can customise your character like crazy.
