Which Amiibo did you get?

Really? Wow! That's only 50p more expensive than GAME would sell him for so if you really want Ness and now then I would get him.

Ness isn't one of my mains or favourites, nor have I played any of the Earthbound games so I don't want to buy him
If the Splatoon squid could go down to that price, it'd be so great.
 
I do want to get him at some point, but I have to see how much I have first.

If I recall, one of the Splatoon Amiibo is around that much on ShopTo.
 
I've gotten pretty lucky with how far my collection has come! The only amiibo I'm missing (besides the Mario Series, don't care for those) are Villager, Captain Falcon, Little Mac, Rosalina, Meta Knight, Lucina, and Robin. I might be getting Robin soon, and because all of the Amazon prices for the imports have dropped dramatically, I might splurge and buy a few that I'm still missing.

My first amiibo was Fox, fortunately, because I realized that he would be pretty popular (especially with the furries and Melee pros). I remember seeing Villager on the shelf, but I wasn't worried about getting him back then. :c I wish I had. I DID get Wii Fit Trainer, however, when she was still selling; I grabbed the last one off of the rack in my local Target. I rushed over there ASAP when the rumors of the Unholy Trinity was being discontinued from production.

A lot of my amiibo gains have pretty much been because of pure luck. I popped by a Gamestop one day not expecting anything to be in there and, lo and behold, there was a single Ike waiting there for me to buy. I camped out for nearly two hours in front of a Gamestop during the Ness/Dedede restock and as it turns out, they only have one Ness for sale, and I was the only one in line. Also, my parents were gracious enough to do a Wave 4 run on release day while I was at school and I managed to get everything besides Ness/Robin/Lucina.

These things are gonna take over my life sooner of later.
 
My Bowser Jr has been dispatched this morning :D

Considering it's from GAME and they ship via Royal Mail, I can probably expect to get it a week after release day *flips table*

That is really odd... I have ordered amiibo from GAME.co.uk before and I have received them 2 working days after despatch.

It must be just you Tao... xD

I've seen a 3-pack on ebay for ?40 which prices them all around ?13.33 each which is pretty good. The problem is that I don't have enough money to afford it. xD
I would think about getting the Inkling boy or girl but I do want the squid the most. I was hoping the other two would be cheaper but it doesn't look like they are. If I get them, it would only be with the squid at this point though.

It's less GAME's fault and more Royal Mail. Any company I order from that goes via Royal Mail I usually end up receiving the package 'late' no matter how early it's dispatched.

Are you sure? Royal Mail seem to be fine where I live.

My local postman delivered me seven parcels on June 26th when Yoshi's Woolly World released and I had at least one parcel arrive every single day starting from Saturday the 20th through to Friday the 26th. The only day that I did not get a parcel that week was Sunday the 21st.

This guy just came in the mail today. I am super pleased he is one of the more complicated/detailed Amiibo I own so far and he looks amazing! ^.^

Also here is my collection so far: (Just waiting for Villager and Lucario to come in the mail. Once they come though I have no idea how I'm going to display them as my dresser is getting crowded.)

I must genuinely ask, how small is that dresser? XD
The amiibo you have look really big compared...

Haha I should have clarified that is an old jewellery box (it has basically nothing in it) that sits on top of my dresser. Haha I can see how that could be misleading though. xD

Royal Mail seem to be great for me too. I got Lucina from ShopTo two days early.
I got Greninja from GAME either a day early or on time - can't remember. Marth and Villager were ordered in January and didn't take too long.

I got Pokemon X and Omega Ruby from GAME a day early and on time respectively which was very nice.

I think Nintendo UK Store is great though - I got Dark Pit early by a couple days and Palutena on time. I also got Majora's Mask a day early.

I can't wait to get Olimar! He hasn't been despatched yet but he is coming soon!

That 'cabinet' is tiny. It makes the Amiibo look gigantic!

You would need both hands to pick them up and scan them.

They would be so impracticable, yet I want them to be a thing.

That would be pretty funny and cool!

For my next amiibo, I might go for King Dedede. I've recently took a liking to him after watching Subspace clips from Brawl, but he looks really cool too! I play as Link a lot, and he's pretty common, so might pick him up if I'm in the store ^.^
