Isn't that the truth. Everyone thought Wii Fit Trainer would sit on the shelves for all time, never being bought. Oh how wrong we were.

Grabbed Kirby today, which I normally ignored due to it being so common. Now all I need is Captain Falcon, Wii Fit Trainer and Marth and I'll have the complete set... until wave 3 of course.

Sharing details on my custom made amiibo shelf for anyone interested in something like this:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00J9OSRL2/?tag=neogaf0e-20
(There are other options, some that extend wider, some made of plastic, etc).
Four of those (48 'spaces' total), some additional birch plywood from Michaels and plenty of gorilla glue (still need to clean up some of the residue as you can see), and there you go. I wanted all the amiibo readily available next to me while playing Smash, but these can easily be set up differently or wall-hung based on what you would prefer.
Using these tiered cabinet organizers / shelves:

So, I've been kinda in and outta here so hopefully me asking dumb questions hasn't been too silly. But I guess looking at that chart Captain Toad amiibo support isn't live yet? Have they discussed what it's gonna be at all?
No one knows yet...
Buuuuuut since its fun to speculate, let´s try to guess what is going to be the Captain Toad Amiibo functionality.
My guess: Extra levels themed in the franchise of the amiibo you use.
Idk we need toad and toadette amiibos first... No?

I've been guessing you can use Mario/Luigi/Peach/Rosalina in the game, using their SM3DW models, letting you play the levels in completely fun speedrunny game breaking ways.
They'll make them form he other series' I imagin but I don't know if CaptainToad will get dedicated Amiibos since its a "new" franchise. I anticipate they'll use the Smash series Amiibos for that game for now.
But there is noToad in smash so it's an odd situation

As in "Heathcliff"
Then you are giving him the attention that he want.

As cool as that would be I'm honestly really digging all the cool costumes they unlock as dlc so I'm hoping for that in the back of my mind.
I honestly only expect Amiibo figures for one big game a year. Maybe Animal Crossing in 2015 and Pokken in 2016.

Holy crap! Today's real megaton is that more than two people can have the same first name.
Has anyone posted this? A chart detailing the last production run of each amiibo.

Fox about to be restocked then?
Aren't we supposed to get a Mario Party set?
Something like that can be knocked out in one single wave though, I'd imagine.

thats how im looking at it also as i doubt nintendo will have more than 1 series of amiibos on shelves at a time this year they will take there time releasing the rest of the smash characters and then they will release a new series around christmas time for a game to start the second series of amiibo.

With how long it is taking for info/release of amiibo support for Captain Toad, it is possible the added content will be worthwhile. It could be a themed level for each amiibo, which would explain why it is taking so long. I just hope it is better than Mario Kart and Kirby.

Dammit need Little Mac XD
Also moving forward I want my Bowser Amiibo to work with Pikmin 4, changes the Olimar to Bowser and the Pikmin army to the Koopa Troops:
=P
Marth, Villager, WFT and Little Mac discontinued confirmed, at least for now, I guess
And yes, it seems a Fox restock is on the way.
I´ll copy paste for those who can´t access it.

Thanks but the pic posted above shows where they work. I am still lost as far as what they do. Can I fight as the amiibo? Does it just generate a CPU fighter that I get to compete against? Is it similar in different games? Is the amiibo linked to my account or can someone else use it like a skylander? Maybe even a link to something more comprehensive would be great. Amazing how popular these are when the info out there is so confusing - maybe I am just getting too out of the loop I don't know.

nintendo has never announced a set for mario party people are just basing it off of the the different pose of the mario amiibo nintendo has used in promotional material.

Where did you get that)
Yeah nothing was announced. I feel like I read a quote somewhere that they were gonna make a set for it though, but I can't find it and may be misremembering.
I wonder what amiibos will even do in Mario Party...
True, not officially, but this was the first amiibo shown, and look at the base, its a chess pattern. Also, Mario has the Classic Mario Party pose (Extendin his arm all monopoly like).
I think there is a fair chance of a Mario Party Amiibo Line.
We still have some time for more production, but it looks like wave 3 may end up divvied like wave 2.
No DDD, Shulk, Sonic, Metaknight, and Megaman.

Wave 3 outside the store exclusives looks like maybe megaman and sonic might be our rares
Please no.

The Rosalina mess should further discredit any retailer exclusives or the bare minimum one per order
We've talked about this over on CAG. I'll say what I said over there, but briefly these dates are when these were certified. So what we don't see from here is the number of production lines that they had, or even the actual number of dates. For example if they started making one on 29 September and finished it's one on 10 October it would still list September and October as production months, when really it wasn't produced for 60 days. The thing to notice about Fox is even though he was certification recently, the production months have already completed based on this. One other thing is that I don't know how many times and item has to be certified. So it may be that they only need to certify the first time if they don't change any thing in the production process for the subsequent runs.
All in all I don't think we can read into this as giving us any indication if any of the old amiibos are being reproduced. All this tells us is when they were certified to be safe in terms of lead and what not. There may be some lag for the last few of wave3 because of the holiday and the new year, but I expect it'll be certified soon.
If you actually open up Fox is document you'll see that it was produced over three months and the actual certification was done back in October, but the document just posted now. I don't think this indicates that it's being given a second run. Also these are made in factories where they can make more of one item such as Mariowell dedicating less resources for something rare like the villager. So even if two amigos are shown as being in production for two months, that doesn't necessarily mean equal amounts of each one are made

This is the most comprehensive chart so far:
I figured my Pit amibo wouldn't ever get much support, but what's up with Pikachu being left out of everything?
Awesome, thanks for the info.
But it is kinda suspicious that the Holy 3 are the earliest ones...
