I actually only cared for Palutena but my mom got me a Dark Pit for my bday instead...
dark pit was the only one i wasnt interested in tbh
Dark Pit seems to be quite cheap on ebay compared to others so there's definitely more stock of him compared to others. If you didn't get him today don't worry as I'm sure he'll be available again sometime soon. Amiibo are continually being released and restocked and Nintendo definitely know how popular they are now.
I agree that rarity is cool and all, but its kind of annoying here when the only place certain amiibo are restocked are in one city. Screw the rest of the country. Just one city.

dammit Nintendo, you ****ed up on the humor

cool thing this happened while I was sleeping
I mean its my fault, but still. **** Best Buy for deciding to do this at last minute with no real prior notice

I get that claiming an amiibo that is considered unicorn feels like pleasantly surrealistic, but rarity in this case is more harmful than you would be inclined to believe, since average consumers who actually have life couldn't even acquire at least 70% of the released amiibo and are limited to Mario, Zelda and Pok?mon characters for the most part. Y'know, they aren't just there to be sitting and looking good. Some games would greatly benefit from these little suckers, and it would be a shame if children couldn't get more out of their games just because Nintendo didn't shipped enough of them in time. One day, we might even see a fully-fledged amiibo-centric game ? la Skylander appearing in our store shelves, and then nobody would get to fully enjoy the game due of the constant shortage problems.
The irony behind the entire shortage situation, is that the Japanese giant is still willing to produce more of the amiibo they already released, as they perceive them as a great source of revenue. They already sold over 5 millions of them, and we're still on year 1! If we check a bit around the Internet, even the rarests of the bunch are still pretty much easier to get ahold of than the rare video game products that are discontinued long time ago, despite their generally higher price markup. And if you're not willing to pay much more than the suggested retail price, there are always restocks incoming in the not-so-distant future while the demand is diminishing over time.

These are exactly, like EXACTLY my thoughts on the situation! But i think that a lot of amiibo will eventually be in the stores in about a year or two. Then there aren't any collectors camping out for a Rosalina because they already have 3. So that little girl finally gets a chance to get one! (It took some time but whatever, better late than never i guess.)
sorry, but these huge blocks are just making what you're trying to say a huge blur for me

he's basically saying the amiibo shortage is
but it's okay because who cares about the actual target audience anyways
tbh I'm not quite sure even Nintendo has a grasp on who the target audience is, so...
Sometimes, you can't just look at the tip of the iceberg to get a better insight on the basic idea that I'm trying to say.
By skimming on reading the somewhat longish text blocks just to get the general idea behind there, you'll be definitely missing out the fleshier details that support even the simplest ideas. Isn't that what spawn a more interesting discussion?
It's like leaving nothing else but an answer to a complex mathematical problem. Without explaining on exactly how I did to reach for the answer, people might say my answer is wrong, but nobody will be able to tell where the wrong answer actually came from.
If there's anything wrong with my answer to your remarks, then it might be because your post was too broad. I get that my paragraphs are fairly large, but they're still comfortably readable for most people. Could you be more specific on what exactly make these unreadable for you?
Here, I was trying to say that the amiibo's sheer popularity and the constant shortage issues are definitely cutting a lot of options for any sane consumer during the first few months of their release, so the idea of a real amiibo-centric game wouldn't be viable. It's generally a better idea just to wait for the many inevitable restocks on the way.
I picked up one of the last dark pits today. Whew! Also got my palutina in as well from Amazon. Just FYI, the preorder for the triple pack for gs happens next sat (8/8) when they open. My gs mgr who knows me well let me know today. (Unofficially of course lol).
I do hope some of the triple-packs go online later, but
That might be hell regardless
That might be hell regardless
yeah this they never had in later years tbh
