amiibo Official General Discussion
- Thread starter n64king
- Start date
If you can't pre order in store you could try instore at jb hifi or wait like a month for then to put pre orders up online
I don't think they have Jigglypuff do they?
So TRU put their online preorder stock up way earlier than expected, and in such a way that you could only find the products if you searched them individually.
Now they only have Pac-Man left to preorder.

Guys, I know that amiibo are very sought after and very cool but is it really worth to buy like 8 amiibo that doesn't have much use? I don't know. Heck people are getting like 5 amiibo per wave. What do you think? I personally just like them of how they look and characters that I love hence why I want to get Yarn Yoshi, Lucas, Zero Suit Samus and Mewtwo.

Got to love New Zealand holidays. Still waiting for EBgame's website to update on the upcoming amiibos. I might have to wait till Monday. This is all that I want.

I'd like to get a full set for the Smash versions. Usability is cool, but not a factor really. Add to that, I also want to get the Splatoon! pack and the Yarn Yoshi amiibos because really I like how they look. Plus I'll likely try collecting all the Animal Crossing amiibo cards when those come out.
So far the only ones I'm rather "meh" on are the Mario Party ones, and I may still end up grabbing those at a point.
Collecting is the worst, but at least I'm still sane enough to restrict the price I'll pay for this ****.

Haha, but I still think 14.00 for a figure with not much useability is really expensive and adds up really quickly. ;O Dang a full set.

Nintendo seriously has to make larger stocks of Amiibo. It's ridiculous that someone that just wants a figure to use in their game has to be overrun with scalpers and they need to stalk the website/be in line first.

I don't think anyone has mentioned this yet but as funny as this may sound, the RARITY of these amiibo I think is a BIG factor that sells these things and having mascots like mario and yoshi readily available for the children. They're selling out every batch that's online because of this exclusivity and many people are buying them since they're so rare.
I collect figures with even less usability that are far more expensive. Normal amiibo pricing is baby mode for me.
Though actually getting them at the normal price is another story.

Heck, the reason people are paying premium prices for weird amiibo like wii fit is the fact that their is so little stock. If it had a lot of stock nobody would buy it. I think this is a weird but good move for nintendo.
I've said this before, but they should just
a) have stores keep preorders up for a set period with a notice that there may be delays in shipment for customers
and/or
b) keep figures in production for a set period like maybe 3 months, and then if its still selling well keep production going until it slows down enough so that stopping wouldn't cause the huge issues that it is now
also one amiibo order per person needs to happen. sorry for people that are buying extras for friends or family or whatever, but this scalping is getting far too stupid. even if this won't stop it completely, it'd at least heavily restrict how easily they can gain inventory
um but thats not fair for people who want 2 of every amiibo for extra display like jasonburrows :/
except Nintendo only gets money from the stores that sell them
so its really not much different to any of their other amiibos that aren't stupidly priced
and I'm pretty positive even not being super popular, they are still far more wanted than Nintendo seems to think. enough so that they could stay in print for more than just one measly run. then there's some that clearly are super popular such as the Fire Emblem ones that Nintendo seems to be keen on screwing over that fanbase with, which just makes no sense.
also, with people getting more and more pissed about how much of a pain it is to even order this stuff along with horrible inventory issues, that's not good at all in the long-term business of things. right now they need to get their **** together, or they run the risk of losing a lot of consumers.

That is a good point. Those characters usaully wouldn't sell, so they are putting little stocks of them so everyone who collects them are gonna buy them from the scalpers who just bought them cause of little stock.
