While amiibos do seem to be somewhat of a fad and a huge money sink for those that get really into buying/collecting them (especially when you get into importing rare ones and other expensive measures)... it's pretty much the first time Nintendo has offered any figurines/merchandise of a lot of these characters (outside of say, Japan). And it's pretty cool how they function for multiple games and multiple systems. Nintendo is making use of them and the way it seems to me is that they're going to keep adding new amiibo functions and that most new (bigger) games that come out for the Wii U/3DS are likely going to feature amiibo support and functionality. So far, I'm pretty happy with them and looking forward to collecting more of my favorite characters. Heaven only knows what I will go through to get a Lucas amiibo.

It boils down to what you think, though, and if they interest you, personally. If they don't, they're not a necessity, by any means. Some of them have neat features in games, but some of those features are arguably lackluster as things stand. It's worth saying that they do seem to be updating amiibo support more and more for some titles, though, like the new wave of them for Mii costumes in Mario Kart 8 releasing this Thursday.

Apparently my Ness amiibo is on the way here, but the person I ordered it from bought it from the Nintendo website and would send it out on the 24th so I wouldn't expect it till the 25th - 26th atleast.

Either he's got it early from Nintendo or something went wrong.
 
Has anyone from the UK had their preorders for Ness, Lucina, Robin, Pac-Man or all cancelled?
NintendoLife posted an article about cancellations at ShopTo.net.
 
Wooowooo, Ness has arrived! A day early too!

Yeh, he's one of the Amiibo's that're high in quality compared to some.

And wow, the price jump for Ness, Lucina and Robin on Amazon...
 
To those it may concern: If you ordered Robin, Lucina, or Ness from Amazon.uk, be sure to check your e-mail. They sent out notices recently that many orders were not dispatched due to a lack of inventory.

However, they have NOT cancelled the orders. They've been put on hold for more inventory to arrive in June.

I'll be patient. I want Lucina and Robin enough that I'm willing to wait as long as it's assured I still get them. ;-;
 
Yo Manda, how much dollars was Robin & Lucina on Amazon UK when you ordered them?

Because after checking the price jump of the Amiibo's, Ness is roughly $91, Robin and Lucina are roughly $76.
****, I'm glad I paid ?35 atleast for Ness, goddamn if I had to end up paying ?60 I would ****ing cry.

They were base price. Though naturally I ended up having to pay a fair deal more since I don't live in the UK. It came to roughly $25 for each one. But that price is guaranteed when they restock in June, so I'm not worried about it. If I happen to get ducky and land them in the USA from retail or something before June, I'll just cancel the UK orders.
 
I'm finally getting a Fox very soon.
So stoked :,))
