Haven't most of the wave 3 amiibos been pushed back? Bowser is the only one that is wildly available.

Apparently the ebay orders are safe as they had an allocated number to sell on the site until they were gone

LOL not a bad title, I think I've seen a similar one here on gaf, but it's still fun.

I'm getting a second Rosalina at Target tomorrow just for insurance. I want to be prepared for the future just in case there's a future amiibo I cannot find, I can trade. Also, I need Toon Link so I may have 2 amiibo tomorrow.

Picked up pre-order for Boweser last night at GS.
Apparently, my Toon Link pre-order hasn't arrived yet.
May try and snag a Rosalina from Target. Also will get Toad and Pac-Man next, and that's it for me.

Yes, they're all pretty much scattered throughout February (and some in January) because Nintendo loves screwing with us.

Don't tell me that. D:
In case anyone missed the old thread: Rosalina giveaway @ https://twitter.com/tapezilla/status/561594048331644928 -- super easy to enter, chances seem really good!

Maybe now is a good time to float an idea out to everyone.
I have an extra Pit on the way and was thinking of giving it away! I was trying to think of a fun way to give it away and, while I was waiting for an oil change this morning, thought of this:
Once I get him (sometime next week, it looks like), I'll make a post. The first 8 people to PM me (or maybe something else) at that time will be entered for the drawing. Once I have 8 names, I'll have each of them pick a Level 1 amiibo of mine and I will have a single-elimination 8-amiibo tournament with each contestant tied to an amiibo. Whoever chooses the winning amiibo gets Pit! Whoever PMs me first will get first pick, second gets second pick, etc.
I don't have a way to stream from my Wii U, but was just thinking of posting a pic of who is fighting who and then another pic that shows who won.
I'm still trying to figure out the best way to determine the 8 contestants. "Whoever PMs me first" seems kind of stupid. I don't really want to give Pit away to someone who already has him. When the time comes, maybe I'll select a better method.

Just kidding, I'm stuck with 2 Ikes since I fucked up a present/gift order. And before somebody PMs me, I'm not in the US unfortunately.

I hope that second green is going to become purple. Regardless of that excellent work.
I'm evil. :lol
Hahaha, this is a really clever way of entering. I like it.
Maybe what you could do is a Modbot contest where there's 8 amiibo to choose from, people enter which amiibo they want, then the winners get to move on & they're represented by the amiibo they chose?
Been meaning to post this but I have:
1. Little Mac
1. Captain Falcon
1. Fox McCloud
2. Pit
1. Rosalina (Not the second one Jason sent me for the fiance)
I still need to send out
Zonic's Fox
Kierwny's Marth
Masked Man's Villager
EDIT:
I've got a couple PMs, but hold off. Trying to figure out if I'll do a giveaway instead. If not, whoever messaged me will get them. I got like 15 pms though, some even at the same time *mind blown*

On the first post we should really just cross off Marth, Villager, WFT, Pit, Mac and Cap with big red Xs
So I see that Meta-Knight is up for $20 on Play Asia. You guys think I should go in on that? I've never purchased anything from them before, not sure how much they charge to ship to US.
That's awesome! I met a guy when I went to pick up Sheik who also thought of doing something similar with 4 Swords Toon Links.

Seems to be gone, I remember coming down here a few years ago and there being one by a set of escalators. I figured it might be gone but thought it was worth a shot at least.
Love you, Brian! You and this thread are to blame for the obsession my girlfriend and I now have for amiibos. If you need any particular characters let us know here in the thread- I'm sure someone will be willing to help out! If you can't/don't manage a Rosalina shoot me a PM!
What if someone reviewed them and didn't want an amiibo win
That sounds pretty creative and is pretty awesome of you. Will look forward to it.
I'm normally up for this... IF THEY'D LET ME RESERVE IT! Speaking of, they never released the rumor reservation cards did they...

When I get back i honestly might mess around with that. Just as even quicker identification of rarity.
Must have closed up shop sometime after summer 2014. Since it was still there when I went during that timeframe.
I know I've said this a few times already, but I really do thank you for being awesome on sending that Fox.
I'm tempted to ask for Pit or Little Mac as well, but I'll be fair & let someone else have them.
That is incredible. Are those yours? Do you take orders?
If no one else needs Little Mac to finish their collection I'll give it to you.

I kind of want to enter. Not for the Pit amiibo (I have 2 extras) but simply to partake in amiibo fighting. I don't want the prize, I WANT THE GLORY!
But in all seriousness, I won't be that guy to try and PM you since I'm certain others, without Pit, are more in need.
Here are the top 20 commenters from Discussion Thread 2. Congratulations to all!
You just HAD to cut it off a few spots before me =P
They charge about $10 shipping if it's any consolation.

I had to make sure I got on there... and top 18 would have seemed suspicious!
Would you be intersted in letting me give you all my extras I just posted and run a co-giveaway with me?
Or should I just give away each one to whoever asks?
So basically $30 for Meta-Knight, and I have no way of cancelling if I get lucky and find him in stores, or returning if he is defective. Don't really know what to do...
LoL right, right
SIDEBURNLESS LUIGI AMIIBO ONE OF A KIND $50 LAST ONE
It's going to be the final Platinum reward, lol.
Blood will be had once Palutena amiibo is out.

At first, I only wanted Samus and ZSS. Right now I only have Samus on my desk, but I pre-ordered / ordered / are coming:
- Shulk (still waiting to find a Xenoblade copy around here);
- Marth;
- Ike;
- Lucario;
- Meta Knight;
- King Dedede;
- Mario;
- Sonic;
- Mega Man.
And I'll probably pre-order everyone from wave 4 or whatever is the name of the wave that have Charizard and etc.

I'm thinking about trading in Ike. I'm really miffed about the bad quality on the human faces. Sheik is alright since hers is half-covered as is Captain Falcon's. I hope Shulk has a half-decent mass production mold. Not that there's any chance I'll be able to obtain one at MSRP. :lol
I'm sure you can return it regardless of whether it's defective or not. Or you could sell/give it away here.
Don't think it would be worth a lot. Usually amiibos that sell for a lot are major error ones like missing limbs.
And usually it's the rarer ones that fetch more. Luigi is very common. Get it if you like Luigi and you want a unique version. Don't get if its for money or collectors value.
There would be mountains of salt from me since I'm only around ~100 coins from Platinum. lol
Yeah maybe they will make an exception if it is defective. I just noticed that the page for him said "Once bought, this item cannot be cancelled or returned."

Tch, I'm in top 20. I will never thought that I would be in top 20 ever again after Smash Hype Threads.
Oh man, I'd greatly appreciate that, but wait a bit to see (maybe a few hours or so) if someone else wants him. I'm already getting Fox, so it's only fair that you should see if someone wants Little Mac first. If nobody else wants him, then I thank you in advance.
I'd be up for this. Maybe 2nd & 3rd place could get some as well, but 1st place gets first choice, etc.
Maybe there's a way to at the very least record the match?
