amiibo Official General Discussion

Which Amiibo did you get?

Well, for the USA amiibo buyers... some bad news. There's a rumor going about that GameStop will not be taking pre-orders for amiibos anymore. And from the looks of how Target handled the last wave (most of them, aside from Jigglypuff, never even appearing online at all despite having placeholders), they may be quick to follow in those footsteps.

It's probably not far into the future when these stores (and perhaps other retailers, as well) will probably only accept you walking through their doors to purchase. If these rumors are true, amiibo hunting in the USA is going to be even more difficult than it already is---especially for those that either can't get to the stores or have to stand in line for hours in big cities. This is really getting out of hand.

I hope this rumor is debunked, but it was re-tweeted by a Nintendo News twitter, so it's hard to say at this point. The only bright side to this is that scalpers are going to be hit hard from it, too.
 
And this is why Europe is the best, especially at this Amemebo hunting game B))

How is that a good thing? Bragging is stupid. Why people want to rub that kind of thing in is just plain rude. You can be happy about something without shoving it in people's faces repeatedly like you're special.

But what if it is a Gold Marth amiibo? or... Gold Ness...

I don't see how that's a good thing. It just promotes being a d*ck.

'Gold' versions and stuff like that should really be the only ones that are rare in the first place really. The regular variations should be easily accessible to anybody who wants it.


As a comparison, Disney Infinity has 'crystal figures' of characters that are 'rare' (they're not that rare, but still). They're exactly the same as the original in every other way, they just have different coloration, that's it.
The regular variations of characters are pretty easy to stumble upon though and anybody can have one since they actually met the demands.

Eh, Jason is going to go through withdrawals as soon as all the smash amiibo are done being released, so let him have his fun while he can.
