I am not entirely sure, but I have heard sometime next week from ShopTo.net.

Cheers. I'm hoping that I won't need to rely on ShopTo, I hate their website so much. I've had so many issues (account being inaccessible, deleting orders, etc) with it - and that's just with trying to buy games, never mind items only available in very limited quantities.

Tina, why are Mario and Luigi NA boxes? I thought you lived in the UK?

That is a bloody good question. I hadn't noticed that! I got them from a UK retailer too. :eek:
 
I'm wondering if I should get all the common amiibos (Luigi, Mario, Link) now or wait for some kind of signal to go get them.

I am just really surprised even though I do honestly believe you. I have only ever had one issue occur in the entire time that I have had an account there and I have never received a single damaged amiibo either (and that's through Royal Mail too)

No rush, you have plenty of time to grab common amiibo. :)

I'm sure some common trash are becoming increasingly rarer like Link, Pikachu, DK, and a few others.

That's what I worry about. I always thought Yoshi was extremely common, yet I haven't seen him in a store in weeks. I might as well get those common ones before they go extinct. Hopefully Nintendo restocks all of their shipment.
 
Mario, Luigi, Peach, and probably Bowser are the only ones that I'm guessing will be common forever.
 
I have a Best Buy gift card, so I went out and got myself Mario, Bowser, Pikachu and Luigi. Out of all the common ones I'm missing Link and Donkey Kong. Apparently, Donkey Kong is becoming really rare and I couldn't find him anywhere. It's a shame, because I really like his amiibo. :(
 
Donkey isn't rare at all in Australia. They send DK stock from Japan because it doesn't sell there, and still doesn't sell here. I think Yoshi is the rarest "common" Herr as I've actually never seen him IRL

I feel bad for Donkey. The one's I keep seeing everywhere in abundance are Zelda, Luigi, and sometime Diddy. I guess wave weren't as popular as Nintendo thought they'd be.

Omg Zelda is rare here in The Netherlands, i am so happy that i bought her on release, she is literally nowhere to be found! The only ones we see a lot here are: Mario, Peach, Donkey Kong, Diddy Kong, Pikachu, Samus and Fox. We see Luigi sometimes too along with Sonic and Mega Man if you are lucky but Sonic and Mega Man are there because they released not too long ago (They will be gone when wave 5 comes in) and Luigi always come in little numbers, like 2 or 3 per store.

Does anyone from the UK know which amiibo are incredibly common?

In the UK? pretty much all of them, since they're not really a big hit over here lol

I mean the week the band 1 amiibos were released I went into a game store and literally none of them had sold. All of the ones which are considered "rare" were all there, in fact, they all had their prices reduced.

They're much bigger here than you seem to think! I've struggled even getting preorders for some on the very first day they go up.

No, he sold out long ago. I tried to get a preorder of him for Justin like a fortnight before he even came out but had no luck both on and offline.

I can only really speak for what I've seen in-stores in Glasgow and Ayrshire, but:

Smash line:

I've seen Mario, Luigi, Peach, Link, Pikachu, Samus, Yoshi, Donkey Kong, and Diddy Kong in several game shops even weeks apart. They seem pretty easy to get hold of.

I've seen Toon Link, Ike, Zelda, Lucario, Bowser, Sheik, and Captain Fox in stores, but I can't recall how recently that was. Zelda and Bowser are the ones I can recall seeing most frequently. The shops I saw Lucario, Ike, Fox, and Toon Link in had quite a lot of them but I don't know if they still would now. Sheik I think I saw in only one or two shops a week or two after the release date, but they didn't have many.

Super Mario line:

Super Mario line seems readily available. I went into one GAME shop a couple weeks ago and they had all six.

EDIT: oops, forgot Sonic. I saw quite a lot of him last time I went into GAME too.

Ahah that clears up a lot! So odd that Zelda is nowhere to be found in a country close to the UK which do have her a lot. Ahh well i got her in time so it does not matter for me, but still, it's Zelda! A lot of people know her!

By the way, Ness and Wario are confirmed to be mine too! Someone placed a pre-order for me (They only give pre-orders to people who will actually get the product) so no worries for a while now. The craze will start again in july though, i am a huge Mario fan so i NEED Dr. Mario and Bowser Jr.!
