So I just got a Mario and for some reason I really like it. I'm entertaining the idea of getting another amiibo but then if I get one I could get more because who wants 1/4th of the current wave of amiibos.... this is terrible. I'll go to sleep and maybe I wont want anymore....

I WANT THEM ALL

"D" · Nov 22, 2014

I think my Marth's eyes look okay. I must've gotten lucky. I MIGHT take some super glue and glue his sideburn to his face so it won't look so weird though.

That Marth is easily the best one I've seen. You got real lucky with that one bro!

Feels good

I kinda wanna keep buying more...

Maybe a Samus, Pikachu, and Kirby next paycheck...

SalvaPot · Nov 22, 2014

I caved in and ordered some online from Toys R Us this time, since they don't have store pick-up for the ones I want the most.

If they look awful I can always sell them, if they look amazing I'll keep them.

SuperCambot · Nov 22, 2014

My Target in Central Houston had them all except Fox earlier today. Two employees disagreed on whether they even got Fox in stock to begin with.

TI82 · Nov 22, 2014

At work we sold out on: Marth and WFT. Got plenty of everyone else, villager is the lowest.

ChosenPredator · Nov 22, 2014

Pikachu! I think I am to addicted to these things and the potential they could have.

Yeah, let's also see if nintendo actually supports it with good functionality. It could be popular. We shall see.

Scanned Pikachu with my phone and got the following xml at the start of the tag:

If I'm reading it right, is it saying it can only hold 540 bytes of data?

Potential as a reaction jif is stellar.

uncleniccius · Nov 22, 2014

I'm not sure whether to get characters I don't play as so I can use them properly in games with my friend's or whether to get characters that I love /play as.

How good are they once they level up.

Actually,I'm think the 540 bytes is for the "game series". So for instance these figures have 540 byes of data for Super Smash. I think the "userMemorySize" is probably more for the every game stuff, and that is only 256 Bytes.

Yup! I had never been there before. Everything about the store was unexpected. A GameStop at Hamilton Town Square told me they were saving me an adapter and when I arrived they had sold it. Fry's saved the day

That is an amiibo that could be worth something someday.

OrangeGrayBlue · Nov 22, 2014

I went to my local target in North Hollywood today to see how things were. I looked at the figurines for 3-4 minutes around 6 PM. While I was there, four figurines were purchased as well as one copy of smash bros. They seemed to have everything in stock. There was only one Link left, but no one else seemed to be in danger of selling out. They even had a smaller display of Amiibos at the head of the aisle where customers passing by the electronics section could see them without having to go down the aisle. So the figurines took up quite a bit of shelf space overall.

Alfredo · Nov 22, 2014

The NFC stuff is built into the base, right? I'm wondering if I could tear off the figure part and do dumb stuff with it, like switch it out with other figures or other stupid things.

kubus · Nov 22, 2014

Goddamnit GAF I almost convinced myself I didn't need these things but I think I'll cave in and preorder a few after seeing some of your pics... They look pretty cool.

It's just such bullshit that these things cost 15-16 here :/.

I'll try to get Villager and Wii Fit Trainer, possibly Marth if I can find them in stock somewhere next week. Then I'll slowly bleed out my wallet by picking up the rest later... Rip in piece wallet

BGBW · Nov 22, 2014

Well the hunt for defective Amiibos has begun.

God, the Toy"R"us deal is too good. Just bought Kirby, Pikachu and Yoshi on top of the four I already own (Mario, Link, Samus and Marth) and I'm sure I'll buy more by the end of the day.

It's weird it says 540. The datasheet for the NTAG215 chip says 504 bytes. Maybe a typo?

Cosmic Dreams · Nov 22, 2014

(Posted in the Smash Wii U thread)

Grabbed these 4 today, I was looking to only purchase these during the first wave. Only opened Fox to use him. Gonna keep the others nicely packaged for years to come!

I think i'll probably go with Duck Hunt, R.O.B, Lucina, Mega Man, and Shulk as my last amiibos to purchase. Not gonna go too crazy with these.

Fell asleep last night with opened Amiibo all over me. I honestly think that Samus may be the most impressive one.

jax · Nov 22, 2014

So any word on if/when the amiibo will work with SSB3DS & the New 3DS?

esmith08734 · Nov 22, 2014

I am thankful the cutest characters (Kirby and Pikachu) are the first wave. The second and third wave has Toon Link that I would like. I would want a Sheik and Zelda but I don't think they will be of the best quality. GAF, help.

Byron Bluth · Nov 22, 2014

Ugh, I have more money and all I want to do is get more Amiibos.

Not sure what the stock will be like now.

I've gotten Marth, Villager, Wii Fit Trainer and Samus so far.

I am torn on who to get next. Either Fox, Kirby or Link.

This isn't real, right? How could they accidentally use a part that doesnt exist? Or is the gun separate from the arm?

Totally hear you. I was so skeptical about them but when I put in my Pikachu, gave him a nickname and watched him fight, I became invested in him. I do wish I didn't get Link or Fox right now and got Kirby instead, though.

It's just two right arms. They are moulded separately.

melman101 · Nov 22, 2014

How many of you are keeping them in their packaging? I almost don't want to use them because I don't think I would actually ever use them after linking them up the first time.

I really love the box art on them.

What are you guys generally doing?
