amiibo Discussion

There's a rumour that these three characters have already been discontinued.

Well I guess I got mine at the right time then

My amiibo wishlist is the starting roster of the original Smash Bros. (Mario, Yoshi, Donkey Kong, Link, Pikachu, Samus, Kirby and Fox), four fighters introduced in Melee (Peach, Bowser, Zelda and Ganondorf), two introduced in Brawl (King Dedede and Pit), one newcomer (Little Mac) and one special guest (Mega Man). I'd also like to get Sonic for BurstDashV8, since he's a huge SEGA fan. With the threat of instant discontinuations, though, I should preorder many of them. There's also no guarantee that Ganondorf will even be announced, and I would have settled for Marth if he wasn't discontinued. The number of amiibo from Melee is rather lacking.

It looks like the second wave #Amiibos have been released prematurely by Toys R' Us here's the source: https://www.wiiwarewave.com/t4449-breaking-news-wave-2-of-amiibos-spotted-at-toys-r-us !

I honestly see no reason to buy Amiibo's or get excited for it. I like the little statues, but not for this price and the lack of software behind it. Yee, a new costume for only a handful of amiibo's in Mario Kart 8, or yeah a new weapon in Hyrule Warriors. Give me a break. I really wished it would have a gaming component like Skylanders, with new characters adding new levels, characters or worlds. Or perhaps little standalone games.

What the? My Wii Fit Trainer has a Samus blaster for her left arm!

What the Fronk?!

@staroceancrazy that'll probably go for some serious money on ebay

@PassioNATE is right you're going to be rich if you sell that amiibo!

I sure hope Wave 1 amiibo get restocked soon.

I got $250 for my defective Wii Fit Trainer amiibo selling it on ebay!

Congratulations, @Staroceancrazy!

Thanks @GamerZack87!

Does any store have wave 3 amiibo in stock?

I was lucky enough to find a few Link amiibo on shelves yesterday. I was so surprised! I quickly put one on layby for another time.

I hope I can find Ike, Shiek, and Toon Link right away

Amiibo are just too rare at present. Nintendo needs to amp up production.

I wonder if the Super Mario amiibo will be more widespread than the Super Smash Bros. ones. At the very least there should be a restock of amiibo which are useable in upcoming games.

Nope, the Super Mario series of Amiibo are already sold out as well.

Well, that's really disappointing.

Well, this is weird. Every Target I've visited in the past week (all two of them) has plenty of Super Mario amiibo on shelves!

I wonder if each Nintendo franchise will have their own line of Amiibo? (Xenoblade, Fire Emblem, Punch-Out, and Star Fox series Amiibo would be welcome)

@passionate That would be awesome!

I wonder if Bowser Jr. And the Koopalings will be their own Amiibo wave

Those would be insta-preorders if that proves true!

My friend found Gold Mario for me

@passioNATE Wow, that is super-awesome!

I'm actually thinking about getting Toad. Because of the extra content in Captain Toad. This should be in all games. Not just a custome or skin for a plane or something that silly.

I'd also like to get a few other Smash amiibo if I get the chance. My top priorities would be:

●Fox
●Samus
●Captain Falcon
●Ness

If I could collect a bunch more, I'd choose:

●Zelda
●Ganondorf
●King Dedede
●Charizard

But as it is, I'm pleased with my current collection (Mario, Link, Kirby and Pikachu).

Okay, amiibo are starting to flood Target and EB Games stores in my home city, including ones which were once rare such as Marth and Sonic!
