Nice, Link is a good amiibo to have. Will you keep him in the box or use him ?..

Oh I always open mine lol. I feel like there isnt much use other than bragging rights (and some money if you wait long enough) keeping them in box, especially the commons. I would rather get extra items and functions in games instead of having a box with a figure I cant use in it sitting around.
 
Yeah I agree with you too. Even if I don't use my amiibo all that much, I'll still use them so I open up mine. Collection/display isn't their primary intended use anyway and I'm surprised at how many people collect these for the sake of display when they could buy things like Figma instead which are much higher quality.
 
That's true once I buy a Wii U since I don't have one at the moment sadly c.c.. I will open my amiibo's up and use them cause, to tell you the truth they where meant to be played with. Also I might just consider getting doubles of some of the rare ones is all XD.

But other then that I will open the rest up and proudly display them on my shelf and use them as they where meant to be.

If you got rares you could open one and keep the other in-box and store somewhere? Just an idea xD

- One reason to buy these instead of figma for display purposes is that they're all visually part of a set. Similar sizes, same or similar bases, a vagulay familiar design even with the drastically different levels of detail (I.E comparing Lucina to Kirby).

- They're also small, 'cos not everybody has room for loads of larger figures.

- Certain characters like Sheik or Lucina can be otherwise hard to find another figure or merchandise for and even when you can, they're usually expensive, hard to find, or some cheap McDonalds grande toy that look like ****.

- They're quite good quality, especially considering the price.

- They had stock problems and artificial rarity. This can make anything desirable, even when it's something you wouldn't otherwise buy. Once Amiibo lose their charm and they're not hard to find, I can see a lot of people realizing they were just caught up in hype and either selling them or shoving them in a box somewhere.



But I open all mine up even if I barely ever actually use them. I always do that first scan on the Amiibo demo thing to see what game I get out of curiosity (because I like it when a character unlocks a demo for a totally unrelated game). I always scan them in games that give you an item or something like Mario Kart 8 or Yoshi's Woolly World just to unlock the thing, even though I never actually use this stuff.
 
Rosalina and Jigglypuff just made it to my house, and they look amazing up-close. I thought I broke Jigglypuff because her stand was wobbly, but I heard that's a common concept with Jigglypuff.
I officially have 5 amiibo, which isn't a lot but I still like what I have.
 
I haven't got around to using him in any games yet (can't wait to get Mario Kart 8 and unlock that costume!) but Olimar amiibo is really great. The supports on the Pikmin are a little iffy in shape and colour but the overall quality makes up for it!
 
Posted my current full amiibo bae collection (minus boxed Gold Mario) on tumblr today, so I thought I would share it here, too:

I'm not looking to collect them all, but rather I'm just going for the ones that I personally like or that tie into games that I love. : ) Just got Marth in the mail today, so it seemed like a good time for a group photo!
