    I don't think they've done a good sized Wii Fit Trainer restock either have they? I know Gamestops got a few extras in at one point, but it was way smaller than others if it was even a full out reissue. It's the one I still want to buy...

    First Amiibo I got and the only one I never even vaguely considered reselling.

    There's something magically about them making actual Wii Fit Trainer merchandise that just makes me smile. It's so WEIRD.

    If Wii Fit at the height of the phenomenon had been a Microsoft product (and yes, we can debate whether or not it would have been such a phenomenon on Xbox 360 and yes, Microsoft tried similar things after with Kinect, but bear with me) I can just imagine the line of Mad Catz produced Wii Fit training stuff, right down to workout clothes. Think about it, Mad Catz officially licensed Wii Fit Trainer Yoga Pants

    Opportunity missed.

    Also, phenomenon is an incredibly hard word to spell. so many vowels.

    Wow, looks like Lucina and Robin were both up on toysrus.com about an hour ago (out of stock now of course)... Did they finally get their restock?

    News broke today of a pair of Splatoon dioramas for displaying Amiibo.

    Are those things made out of paper?

    I believe it's like a soft plastic? Not sure. They aren't just paper though. They've released a few now, I think there are videos floating around of the Smash Bros and Kirby ones that are already out.

    Thinking personally I may order all four once the Splatoon ones show up on AmiAmi

    The Callie/Marie stage is nuts. The screen in the middle is actually a hole, and the diorama fits over a 3DS that acts like the video screen, which presumably you play via youtube or something.

    I need all of these, though I have to say that boo is surprising. I wonder if they just really wanted the glow in the dark thing and that fit best. Otherwise kind of random next to big characters like Waluigi and Daisy :P

    Anyone in here need a Link amiibo? I have a spare that's in good shape outside of a little bit of paint missing on the base. I'll send it your way if you cover the couple bucks for shipping.

    Don't look at me, I didn't come up with the name. I assume it's a reference to like "this price is a steal!" *shrug*

    My guess is the last of the Smash group will come out with the heavily-rumored Smash NX.

    It's the only way this gap makes sense.

    To be honest, I think the gap is due to the manufacturing process. I think it takes them longer to make detailed amiibo (see: any Fire Emblem character, Shulk, etc) which is why they tend to have low quantities and originally used to be the shittiest quality (aka Merth). My personal guess - they are taking their time to make sure there is plenty of supply, especially knowing Cloud *at least* is going to fly off the shelves.

    It just doesn't make sense to me to wait almost a YEAR more for a potential NX Smash Bros port. If they were holding anything back for that, it would be the inevitable Ice Climbers amiibo (because there is no way they don't add them as a "bonus" new character for that version)

    They waited almost a year to finish the Mario line to coincide with the new game, after all. And those aren't detailed at all.
