This is my biggest gripe. I loved testing my character builds against other people in DBZ Budokai Tenkaichi 3 so I was hoping to do the same with Amiibos.
It's cool seeing all these amiibo displays. I wonder how they'll be handled in the UK. Nintendo shelf space is so limited over here, it's hard to imagine them being such a big sell in our supermarkets, for example. I'm not even sure if our Games will sacrifice the Disney Infinite/Skylanders space for them.
I'm gonna need to get up close and personal with a Samus before committing to a purchase in order to avoid dat lean though.

I grabbed Kirby, link and yoshi. No Martha, villagers or Wii trainer to be had.
Oh god that old skylander itch is coming back. That itch set me back hundreds

My camera has no macro mode so it wasn't easy.
Certainly not as detailed as the promo Marth but it's not that awful Wedding Cake Topper Marth from the last thread either. I'm pleasantly surprised.

good with gravy
Nintendo needs to develop a full fledged amiibo battle game asap.
I guess one of the main issues is that the eyes are supposed to be partially covered by the hair, but instead they just moved the face further down. Oh, and that they struggle with human faces in general

such a dope picture. Villager, the Joker, and an awesome brew
How much does an amiibo cost around the world? Here in Norway one costs around $22
Canada $13.99, which is equivalent to US$12.46, so almost the cheapest except I think Japan gets them for only 1200 yen, which is equivalent to US$10.18 though, sigh.
How easy do you think it would be to find a Link that isn't facing the ground/with a bent sword/otherwise broken in some way? That and Samus are the only two I'm currently interested in getting for this wave.
Did you guys dig through the ones on display to find the best one or did you just grab the first one that didn't look horribly misshapen?

My Samus was leaning to one side, and the Mario I ordered has a pretty big air blister on the fireball.
I would definitely go to a store and look them over if I had it to do over again.
forget about itttt
Sup guys meet Narth.
huh
this sounds like something that just came out but I might be wrong
Yes yes yes yes

Villager
Yoshi
Gotta get Fox and Samus next

Why are strippers at the U.N. bad when they're great at strip clubs???
Let it consume you.
Fox looks nicer and will be hard to find later probably.
I might go return Marth, he's too damn awful. I'll pick from what's left tomorrow.

Yeah Marth looks terrible, and sadly him and Falcon are the only two I want for the MK8 skins.
I'll pass, lol.

Got back from trading in a game at Best Buy. Looked at the amiibo section and mario was sold out. Fox, peach, yoshi, kirby, samus, and donkey kong were plentiful..No signs of the limited 3. For some reason, Link and pikachu was behind the customer service counter..I just grabbed a fox for now

My haul:
After opening them:
Didn't want to ruin the cardboard/art since I like it so much. I can easily put them back in when I want, too!

So how are people planning on displaying these things? I'd love a nice tiered shelf for my desk. Any suggestions?

The Fry's at 96th Street? I hate that location so much. The employees seem to be worthless every time I go in.
I told myself they were stupid. That I'm too old to be buying things like this. That I don't need them. Waste of money I said......
Today I got Link, Marth, and Wii trainer when I picked up smash bros, the adaptor, and the GameCube controller. And I just ordered the Villager from Amazon. 😳
I love toys.

No, Marth is available at all stores. Apparently he will be hard to get, though. Maybe just not as many shipped as the others.
today I ordered marth, villager, and wii fit trainer from toysrus's website -- for $10 each (the 3 for $30 thing) free shipsies.
it appears they're still in stock. if anyone can't find these locally, well, go to tru's website.

No retailer exclusives until wave 3, I think. Seem like retailers and branches didn't bother stocking Marth, WFT, and Villager or they only had enough to fulfill pre-orders depending on the region.
I was at Best Buy today and their Amiibo display was full but they had everything except Villager , Wii Fit Trainer and Marth. That's why I was wondering. They didn't have any empty hooks there.

There's a part of the bottom of the packaging that's perforated. Stick a knife in, slide it across the perforation, then peel the bottom open. The cardboard will be completely unaffected.
Yes
