Sellers like that get me wondering how much I can scam someone into buying the packaged ones I have. Not that I want to sell what I have but really... almost $1000 for that set that wouldn't have cost more than a couple hundred if that when bought separately. Yuck.

Anyone know anything about Best Buy restocking Ike, Mega Man or Sonic? Their website for Ike & Sonic says it's available for pickup in 3-5 days at nearly every Best Buy, but Mega Man doesn't show any stores. Is this a trick? Lol They won't restock will they...?

I don't know about best buy. But i know my walmart restocked mega man and sonic just yesterday.
 
I'm so upset that the Villager Amiibo is basically extinct now. ;__; Hopefully they'll bring it out again for the next instalment of Animal Crossing, that's the smartest move anyway.

I'm so glad I snatched up my Pit and Zelda figures when I did as they're so hard to find now. Shulk, Toon Link and Sheik are going to be a pain to get as well because GameStop never order in the figures I want ugh. If there were more stock shipments things would be a lot easier haha.

I don't know about Best Buy, but Sonic and Mega Man were both for online purchase on GameStop's site today. (Apparently Shiek, too.)

Sonic & Mega Man are both unavailable online, so if they showed up today they're gone already. Shiek has a billion stores I can pick her up at if I wanted ~_~ Which I'm not so interested in that one.

I can totally see them doing an Animal Crossing series. Likely a redesigned villager amiibo, and maybe that Tom Nook one they sorta tease on the amiibo site by showing his pic lol. If not then we're stuck to those Amiibo Cards they said they're going to release sometime later this year. Villager card...

It technically is...
I could not bare to have my one of the very rare "Holy Trinity" amiibo with such a massive rip... o_O

I suppose it doesn't matter if Amissapanda will be unboxing her villager, but I know I could not bare to have my Villager box look like that as it would totally ruin the value...

Didn't u say u contacted a ~~~~Nintendo official~~~~ (because you would only believe confirmation from someone like that) who said none are rare? And now you're saying villager is rare?

It either is, or it isn't. Make up ur mind.
 
Oh god help us. I just read about the amiibo cards. You basically can just buy your favorite and save on the rest.
Either way I bet once this news hits everyone about the cards theres gonna be some anger over the money they spent to get their unicorns.

Because box collectors would rather have a card instead of the figurine itself? Honestly, for Villager, I'd be fine with paying $50 to get the figurine than pay $5 for a cheap card. But for another character I don't care about as much like... Ike, sure.

I can imagine some people will lose their poo. There has to be some idiots out there who bought Amiibo just to buy it for the effects but would have rather have had the card. Or maybe it'll happen in reversal. "YOU MEAN I PAID $50 FOR THIS RARE FIGURE AND PEOPLE GET TO HAVE THE SAME BENEFITS AS ME FOR A PACK OF $5 CARDS!?"
Logic plays no part here lol
 
Gold Mario was stocked online today but it's out now ofc.

The release date for this soon to be hyper rare amiibo is March 20th at Wal-Mart(same day when MP10 drops)
 
They said it sold out in 15 minutes. But why did Walmart say yesterday that they weren't doing preorders then suddenly by surprise this morning they took preorders.
I hate that stupid redneck trash store. Good thing I'm not too interested in the Gold or they may come as a shocking blow.

I was lucky to get these guys at a reasonable price in Japan before all the scalpers knew how to import from Japan. After express shipping, it comes out to $18 Dollars per Amiibo, that's about a $3 mark up compared to the $15.80 Canadian price, after 13% sales tax.

Nintendo of America just dumped some more CPSIA details on the following amiibo: Ness, Charizard, and Golden Mario.

So, Ness and Charizard only got one month of production, meaning that these guys will be definitely difficult to find. I'm surprised that the latter is going to be very rare, but then again I was a kid from the 90s who thought he was a fairly popular character. Interestingly, Golden Mario has 2 months of production, so you might find him on Wal-Mart stores if you're lucky enough. Anyway, be sure to preorder these guys up ASAP or else you'll never see them ever again!

Looks like Pac-Man, Lucina, Robin and Wario might be having more months in production.
