Thanks...
Oh my, oh my... will I buy them twice? That can't be healthy.
Its not. I've spent about 100 so far and feeling kind of sick about it. Yet i want more ...
Thanks...

Yeah it's ridiculous. It's simply impossible to find them under 15, even MediaMarkt is asking 16 :/.Uh, pricing in Holland sucks. Webshops like Bol are already asking 15,99 per Amiibo, which is almost twenty(!) bucks. Normal price in the US of A is about $ 13 right? Maybe German GAF will have more luck. Disney Infinity and Skylanders figurines are cheaper there. Bought Groot a month ago in Germany for 11 and he's about two or four euro more expensive here in Holland.
I asked at my local Saturn (Germany) and the guy was really nice and gave me some inside. They'll buy them for 9,90. So with their normal margin in mind something like 12-13 would be reasonable. Could be 15 he said, but that would be a lot and I agree if they get them for under 10.Uh, pricing in Holland sucks.

Edit: Amiibo's aren't regiolockef btw
Ordered them all from Gamemania just because I knew they will get them all.Uh, pricing in Holland sucks. Webshops like Bol are already asking € 15,99 per Amiibo, which is almost twenty(!) bucks. Normal price in the US of A is about $ 13 right? Maybe German GAF will have more luck. Disney Infinity and Skylanders figurines are cheaper there. Bought Groot a month ago in Germany for € 11 and he's about two or four euro more expensive here in Holland.

Edit 2nd: cool, if I buy another Amiibo I'll do so in Germany.
Different economy? Sure.I never understand posts like these; we have a different economy?
That's what bothering me...I said a few pages back that I went through about a dozen or so figures before finding the best looking ones.
I'm in the same position.I'm thinking about ordering online now, but if I receive bad ones, or damaged boxes, I'll be pissed.
Yeah it's ridiculous. It's simply impossible to find them under 15, even MediaMarkt is asking 16 :/.
I'm going to look into mass ordering them at amazon Japan and have them ship here through Tenso. After conversion they're only like 7,50 per figurine in Japan. I just hope they're not region locked...
I think I'll do this. Thanks god, I'm not working next friday morning, I hope it'll increase the odds a bit.I'm going to try my luck when they come out hree.
Yeah, 12,99 I can swallow. That would be $ = , which is still painful but makes sense considering different economies and stuff. $13 > 15 is just way too much. Hope you can find the ones you want at Toys R Us! If I had a car I would probably buy them there too, as I practically live on the Dutch-German border .Well Toys R Us in germany seems to have them for 12,99. That's the cheapest I've seen them over here, even in store so you can check for the best. Not like the 3 for 30 offer in US, but better than ridiculous Saturn or Media Markt pricing.
I'm planning going friday morning and see which ones to get. Thinking about Mario, Yoshi, Donkey Kong, Peach, Samus, Kirby, Villager. I swore to myself I wouldn't start collecting them all.
That's what bothering me...
I can live with some defects, but at 12.99, I don't want really bad ones. I would have shop in the brick'n mortar at the release date, next friday here if I'm not mistaken, but at the same time, I fear that they're out of stock.
A couple of shops here have their shipment fully booked, and they're not sure there will be another one later. I don't see Nintendo only selling such a "limited" batch, but at the same time, I've been burned in the past with similar products that where nowhere to be found at release.
I'm thinking about ordering online now, but if I receive bad ones, or damaged boxes, I'll be pissed.
Looking at the next wave...I want to get Toon Link, Rosalina and Meta Knight, but I feel like I should get Zelda since I bought Link this time around. Damn you, Nintendo.
The more people talk about how "rare" Villager, Wii Fit Trainer and Marth are, the less rare I think they will be if everyone is just buying all the stock because they think it's going to be worth something vs. actual demand.
Villager, Wii Fit Trainer and Marth were manufactured less than the rest, so they are the smallest runs of all the characters and the most likely to not get remanufactured as more waves come. They've been confirmed as day one only for some international markets, so they won't be coming back at all.
Thanks...

Oh, I didn't know it was confirmed. I thought it was just some rumor that everyone picked up on without any real information.

You should go post in a reddit somewhere you "found" that on the shelves and watch the collectors and hoarders go insane.
Completely sold out in my city. I know they are not supposed to be released until tomorrow, but consider this:
1. All three Gamestops in my town have completely fulfilled their pre-orders and haven't even setup the display in store for them. They sold all of their stock already, and they won't plan to put up the display case until after Black Friday. That's incredible. And interesting side note - I asked the manager of the region what their stock was like, and he said at least 30 stock per character, per store. I'm not sure if this is unusual elsewhere, but it seemed like a respectable number considering that there was never this kind of availability per character for Skylanders. Each GS kept somewhere around ten (at most) per character.
2. My Best Buy sold them today. For whatever reason, they broke embargo. And there was nothing left when I checked the shelves. I asked when they would stock them tomorrow, and they informed me it was today when the sales occurred. They're completely sold out.
3. Target is having 10 people work electronics tomorrow because of the anticipated rush. Think about it. In a college town, on the Friday before break, they're calling in extra help for the store for a Nintendo accessory. That's incredible.
I can't figure out what is causing my city to reach in such a crazy manner to the amiibos, but it's not really something I'm used to seeing. For any game or item. It's more than likely an isolated event, but it's good to see Nintendo stepping into an arena that should be their home. Very few companies carry the same goodwill, and I hope the release goes well.
Haha I was thinking about it! First I used painters tape to cover everything but Mario, then I applied a matte black prime spraypaint (needed a coat & a half), then after letting it dry for a few hours I applied a pricey chrome spray paint, and let it sit for 12 hours. Stoked about the results!
