I've got a pink yarn Yoshi waiting for me...But it's wrapped up at my friends house and I can't get it until after the holidays ; - ;

I got him a Link amiibo too...Should have kept it with me until I got my damn pink Yoshi!

but I do plan on grabbing a Corrin. Would have been nice if they changed the default to the girl this time around.

I think for the characters like Robin, Corrin and Wii Fit Trainer there should have at least been a limited run of the 'opposite' variant. It kind of put me off buying Robin because to me the male version is totally irrelevant since I've never used him in Smash or Awakening.

But they should do the girl option as the default more often in general. Of all the games I've played that give you character options, Wii Fit Trainer is pretty much the only one I can think of (without googleing) where the girl version is considered the 'official' option

Don't forget Villager.

Or at least the first female variant, I don't expect them to make eight Villager Amiibo.
 
Just ordered Greninja from Amazon. He's the last Pokemon one I have yet to get (HUGE Pokemon fan here). He was $21 Canadian and is coming from Japan. Pretty reasonable I think as Amiibo cost $16 CAN in stores anyways here, and stores like Walmart charge $5 shipping on top of that (when ordered online).

Also I have a question I'm not sure if someone could help me out. My Mewtwo Amiibo has glue on his chest that's rather unsightly. Does anyone know of a way to remove extra glue from Amiibo without ruining the finish? The glue is kinda like hot glue gun glue in texture. Anyways just wondering as I'd really like to get it off. :/

I remember back when the amiibo craze was first coming into full swing, there was a method to straighten out bent swords since it was a somewhat common occurrence for Marth and Ike amiibo. People would use a hair dryer and hold it toward the sword until it became malleable enough to adjust.

I've never done this and have no idea what effect it would have on the finish, but it seems like holding or putting it near a heat source might help to melt the glue? At least with the swords, I never heard anyone say it ruined the paint or anything.

Thanks for trying to help. I've used the hair dryer method before and can confirm it works perfectly well as I had a Lucario with a crooked foot. Heating it up made the plastic soft and adjusting and holding the foot in place while it cooled off and hardened did the trick.

This will not work for getting glue off though. The glue is a tougher material and stays hard when heated up while the rest of the Amiibo softens. If it was the other way around it'd work but it's not.

Here's my glue issue on Mewtwo. It's hard to see in a picture so I've indicated it with a red arrow. Does anyone else have any suggestions?

im gonna go to target tmr bc they have all amiibo for $9, cant believe i paid $18 to plEB games for amiibo ugh

40% off at big w and then + 10% coz of staff discount ;)

ya i wanted to get modern 8bit mario too but they didn't have him in stock so i just ended up getting yarn yoshi. i don't really need to go to the mall target is at for any reason so maybe i'll pass on 8bit modern idk
 
So, I placed an online order at Best Buy and managed to get Lottie for 10$ CAD, along with preordered Lucas and Resetti for $15.99 each.
Since Lottie is already available on-stores, Best Buy decided to ship it before January 7th, while the other two amiibo will be available starting at January 22nd. I know that's nitpicking, but shipping the entire order in two separate shipments is kinda wasteful on boxes.

I'm surprised that I managed to ordered Lucas without too much problem (he's still available after 10 hours of being live), especially considering that Ness is still pretty difficult to obtain while he is supposed to be more well-known among the gaming population.

If you're a Quebec customer, please be aware that the Shovel Knight amiibo can't be ordered from Best Buy at all, presumably because the package is apparently English-only and Bill 101 (the one that prohibits selling products without French language) is still in effect. Doesn't matter to me much, since I might be going to USA starting at January 29th and can possibly get this guy quite easily.

Found a solution to my excess glue on my Mewtwo Amiibo issue. I carefully taped with masking tape around the area where the glob of glue was. Then I took a very fine nail file and sanded down the glue until it was flush with the rest of the plastic. It's not perfect as it did leave microscopic scratches on the plastic but unless I told you you'd never even notice. It's a million times better than the glob of glue at least! ^_^

Here's the before and after (it's a more obvious difference in person but you get the idea):

This should also work on any other Amiibo with excess glue on them as well. Though it may be difficult on textured areas. I was lucky that Mewtwo's surface is very smooth.
 
I have got a bowser amiibo, green yarn yoshi, yoshi, luigi and cyrus.
I have ordered a blue yarn yoshi so I basically have a blue yarn yoshi as well. :p
 
confirmed that the Lucas amiibo doesn't have compatibility in Yoshi's Wooly World. :(
 
My Amiibo collection finally looks decent haha. It's not the super tiny 3 Amiibo collection anymore xD.

I should get to training them. I will probably do it soon! :3

I'm looking foward to getting Wave 2 of the animal crossing amiibo when they come out! Also maybe ryu, not sure about that one yet though.

Does the NFC thing that comes with HHD work with other games such as Smash 4 to train amiibos?

yes the NFC reader is essentially the adapter to allow amiibo functionality with all 3DS games for people without a New 3DS
