Found a lone Majora's Mask Link at my local Best Buy while picking up an online order. Not collecting the Zelda line though, so it's gonna stay on the peg for the next customer.
 
Caved in and ordered a JP Callie and Marie amiibo 2-pack from Amazon for 30 dollars new. I had a 25 GC from Amazon so I'm paying 5 dollars for it. Should be here on Tuesday!

Hopefully my OCD/Perfectionist doesn't kick in when I see the Japanese text on it.

Ordered Corrin P2 earlier today, thanks for the heads-up! I got in really late, super glad they stayed up for a while. Just hope it comes through, now!

It has me in a dilemma, though. I have Corrin's Figma on the way at some point this month, alongside Kat from Gravity Rush. I had other stuff I didn't plan for (concert tickets!) pop up, and it's looking like I'll only get to keep one (really I shouldn't keep either but I want at least one lol). On one hand, I love FemCorrin's design, and I want the Figma in her boxart pose. On the other, I have no Gravity Rush figures, and I will have FemCorrin's amiibo, so "doubling up" on the character seems awfully goofy!

Bah. It'll all get sorted out when they get here. The screenshots of the amiibo up there look awesome for the price. Marf this is not. :p

WHAT THE HELL!?

Best Buy: Inkgirl 2 is ready to be shipped yet Inkboy 2 needs to be shipped to a fucking store and the nearest one is like a hundred miles away!

I ordered all the Splatoon 2 ones when they were pre-orderable but two weeks ago, the Ink kids got delayed. Did my Best Buy screw me over?

They probably oversold stock. But yea, I think they screwed up. Try contacting CSR about it.

I know there was a thread that quickly devolved into jokes about this exact topic last week, but I truly do wonder how Wario64 does it. He always has the exact right thing to post at the exact time.
 
What's a good way to store your amiibos? I think I have like 15 or 20 so far.

I haven't opened all of them yet but I've been keeping the opened ones on top of a wooden wall shelf but dust has been rampant and since its above my bed I try to gently put them back when not in use but they keep sliding on the wooden shelf as I set them somewhere. I'm afraid of the bottom part of the base getting chipped and scratched.
 
Finally picked up my first amiibo + Splatoon diorama kit!

Gives all the fucks
I had around 60-70 amiibo when I moved, I put every single one back in its packaging & then put it in a bigger box. If you don't have the packaging, my only guess is a plastic container where they won't rattle around. I can't imagine they would get damaged or broken as long as they're not being shaken around violently.
 
Whoa, that diorama kit is awesome. Japan exclusive?

Not sure, maybe? I got it from Amazon Japan for 750 JPY.

Now you gotta get the Squid Sisters stage diorama for Callie and Marie.

Are those X-Wings and TIE Fighters in the background from model kits?

I'm planning to get the Squid Sisters diorama kit next month while I go to Japan. It's 400 JPY.
And yes, those X-Wings and TIE Fighters are model kits from Bandai. xD

I finally got around to unboxing both Clouds and Short-Hair Bayo today! :eek:

My friend says he ordered FemCorrin from Amazon for me, I'll have to pick her up from his house eventually!

Now my only goal left (er, for Smash amiibos) is Long-Haired Bayo. No luck with one of the Best Buys near-ish to me. x_x
 
I have this image of people having display cabinets full of Amiibo like grandparents display their Precious Moments figurines. "Granpa, what's an Amiibo?"
 
I ordered the four eiketu (or whatever they're called in English) amiibo. Kinda annoyed at having to pay the full amount in advance when they haven't even announced a release date, but I don't want to miss TLoZ ones ever again.
 
https://www.amazon.com/s?ie=UTF8&fi...ode=qs&sourceid=Mozilla-search&tag=mozilla-20 So, apparently Amazon is selling Monster Hunter Stories imported amiibos at a cheaper price. What's going on here?

For whatever reason that's been the case for ages now. I wonder if import sellers on Amazon overbought and are trying to clear them at reasonable prices?

I know some Lego Dimensions sets had something similar happen on eBay. People bought a shit-ton of hard-to-find sets to resell, particularly the Portal 2 set, but then Lego/TT released a huge shipment, so the prices cratered on eBay, which in turn caused some retailer prices to plummet.

Got one. I know squishy Metroid gets all the hype but I'm actually most interested in Samus.

It's just nice to see this series making a lavish return with a game that looks pretty much perfect, an amiibo line, a special edition with soundtrack, and even a limited edition system.

And the promise of Metroid Prime 4 on Switch? Whew lad. E3 really delivered big time.

I hope he get solid confirmation on the MonHun Amiibos. A yes or no, so then I can go import as a last resort.
