Gamexplain tests to see if you can scan Amiibos while they're still boxed.
The answer, sadly, is NO, and they show why in the video.

But there is a second batch of DLC coming in 2015 and more Amiibos will have been released by that time; maybe we'll get more costumes! Maybe they will eventually release costumes for all Amiibos?!

Only exclusive at the moment is Shulk at GameStop...which makes the 2nd Xenoblade-related item exclusive at GS.I wonder how much Nintendo had to pay for that space. And I'm going to assume Rosalina will be exclusive to Target, and Metaknight to Best Buy (Maybe Vise Versa), since Nintendo likely had to offer an exclusive figure to each store to secure the deal.

Lucario, Meta Knight, and Rosalina are all not available for preorder on Amazon, so its rumored they may be store exclusives. I would likely peg Lucario as a Toys R' Us Exclusive, Meta Knight for Best Buy, and Rosalina for Target.
Or maybe Amazon just screwed up putting them on their store.
You know, this looks like a pretty crappy offer, but I guess I'll share in case anyone want to hedge their bets on the "Ultra Rare T-Shirt" being good:

Basically, you can pay $165 for 10 Amiibos over a 3 week period, along with getting stickers, a wristband, a shirt, a cinch bag, and 3 miniature magazines.
Yeah, that's not really a good deal considering Best Buy GCU members can get them for about $10.40 each & Toys R Us is doing 3 for $30 next week, meaning both places allow you to get 10 for about $100 + tax.
Also no Link?! He's the one that works with the most games at the moment!
I think that it is overwhelmingly reasonable to expect this.Just a thought...
The only game we know that is coming to the New 3DS exclusively is Xenoblade Chronicles
One big push for the New 3DS was NFC for Amiibo communication
What if...
The big push for releasing Xenoblade Chronicles on the New 3DS is so there would be a critically acclaimed RPG that many people have yet to play AND you can now add select Amiibos as party members in this version of Xenoblade Chronicles, justifying the need to be on New 3DS?
Just a thought
"Currently compatible with the following amiibo figures: Mario, Luigi, Peach, Yoshi, Donkey Kong, Link, Captain Falcon, Kirby, Samus, Fox"
Hope that means more outfits down the line.
I went to Walmart this morning and guess what I saw?
Haha, they actually put them out a couple of days ago, but they denied me the sale. They also denied me the sale again today. Oh well! My Amazon shipment will be here on Friday
It does unfortunately point out that Amiibos can't be used for special co-op.
Whelp.Hey, I totally didn't realize that there was a dedicated Amiibo thread. Neat.
Just a note, I went to my Gamestop last night and they informed me that they were no longer taking preorders for the November 21st Amiibos. So if you put it off till the last second like I did, you'll have to go somewhere. It's a shame, because I have a bunch of credit there. Oh well, I have Link preordered there from previously, and I've got WFT preordered on Amazon for my wife. I want to still get Mario, Samus and/or Peach, though. The Gamestop rep did recommenced that I drop by on Friday to see what they have that hasn't already been purchased, so I'll check there when I pick up my Link.
EDIT: I also saw this cool video on Amiibos in Smash, which I thought I would post in case someone else hasn't seen it. It offers some thoughts on training the Amiibos, and using them to grind items. It does unfortunately point out that Amiibos can't be used for special co-op.
I was very annoyed to find this out a few days ago. I had hoped to use Amiibos in the co-op modes, specifically event mode.wait UOT!?

I intentionally didn't preorder any Amiibos as I want to be able to select the best paint jobs myself in-store.
I hope this plan doesn't backfire on me. I think I might make an Amiibo run during lunch on Friday.
Nice! All toys face varying degrees of paint inconsistencies (especially detailed ones like some of these), so I'm still going to scrutinize the ones I buy. At least the early ones.If you're looking for Amiibos in good packaging you might have to go early so that you have the time and supply to be able to do that. This morning when I was looking through the ones they had already out at Walmart, I noticed lots of packaging damage. Lots of them were warped, had slight tears in then and where the plastic meets the cardboard was kind of fucked up on a few of them (like not completely sealed or small wrinkles and airbubbles in the plastic).
Overall, the paint jobs seemed fairly uniform on the Amiibos themselves though, so that's a good sign if you just want good looking figures!

Yeah, I'm not planning to keep any in-package so I'm not really that concerned about the prospect of shabby boxes. It's funny, I could imagine caring more about that with most other products, but my concern over the paint issue totally outweighs any potential pet peeves over packaging. I'm just going to throw it out, so why get hung up on it.
Lol.Haha! Fair enough! I'm the complete opposite. I don't really care what the figure looks like so long as the packaging is as immaculate as possible. We'd probably make a good wingman for each other, haha.
