You can't possibly blame the retailers for bad paint jobs. They're just as blind-sided to the condition of the Amibos when they receive them as you are.
What do u mean I thought they were shipped to the retailer as blank models for them to paint and package themselves??
So how was the amiibo hunt for everyone? I heard that the new Super Mario collection amiibo figures are quite hard to find and are not manufactured that much. Even the webshops here in the Netherlands have increased the prices for them already, and i thought Nintendo said that they won't be too rare.
How many did you get of each? Did you actually get one of every amiibo? Were you lucky enough to find a Gold Mario limited edition amiibo? Were there plenty available in your store? And can you possibly post a picture of your collection? I am curious about how many and which amiibo everyone has.
I ducked out more than I expected to, but I do live in the middle of nowhere, so there are no rushes into the stores or anything like in bigger cities. I snagged two Gold Marios (one for myself and one for my younger brother and his fiancee), and I also was fortunate enough to get the last that my tiny local GameStop of the Super Mario Edition amiibos, minus Toad.
Coincidentally, I took pictures yesterday, so I can just post those.
My full collection so far, with Toad on the way and Shulk eventually shipping in May. I have a Gold Mario, too, but he's still in his box, so he's not in the photo. It's probably easy to tell who my favorites are so far out of the ones I have. : P
And these are the five I'm sending out west to my younger brother and his fiancee. In a completely serious sense, they asked for amiibos/games that they didn't have for wedding presents (they're getting married this coming summer). So I decided to get them the Super Mario Edition set which I scrambled around for yesterday. If I can't find another Toad, I'll probably end up giving them my Toad that I ordered, which should be in next week.
I'm REALLY feeling it owning my Shulk amiibo.
It is in pristine collectors condition too.
I was quite lucky due to the fact that Nintendo Store, GAME AND Amazon UK all cancelled many preorders for Shulk, but GAME shipped mine out without an issue.
