    Does the Inkling Girl costume turn into squid form when you duck? If I'm seeing that right, that's a great touch.

    Looked that way in the video ;)

    So in the span of two weeks I've gone from just Sonic and Charizard to an (un)healthy collection of amiibo. Thankfully I didn't have to spend too much on them.

    (I don't actually have a shelf so I've put them on my couch instead.)

    With the order I placed, I'm down to only one amiibo, and that's Dedede. Ugh, that one is elusive, even when they restock it.

    I think if I pick up Mario, Luigi, and Bowser I'll be done with my weird recent stint of buying Amiibos.

    Bought a Pikachu to check out how things worked with Smash, and recently decided to pick up Mega Man, Fox, Yoshi, and Toad. Limiting things to characters I like most keeps the collection small.

    So far Mega Man is my favorite. Was honestly not expecting the metallic shine, but love it.

    Only other things I'd like to pick up are a blue yarn Yoshi and K.K. Slider.

    Buying "just one" for Smash is how the addiction starts.

    My Olimar came in the mail today and he is so, so cool

    His helmet is all reflective and the antenna on top seems to be made out of rubber and you can wiggle it around

    They have improved the build quality and detail on these things so much since last year

    I found some Villager and Captain Falcon amiibo at one of my local Toys R Us', but didn't buy them because I already had them. I thought of you guys but I didn't know if you guys needed them. Should I go back there and hope that they still have one of each?

    Got home with my euro Amiibos.

    Bowser Jr. is great and massive. Dr. Mario is nicely detailed. Olimar looks great for the most part (he even has tiny Hecate shipping patches!) but it bugs me that the gaps between the pikmin's feet are gold instead of clear. Zero Suit Samus is nice, though I wish her pointless high heels didn't stand out so damn much.

    Any word on if Dr. Mario is a widespread release in Canada, seeing as Targets are no longer a thing here?

    From a Nintendo email blast:

    Wii U Bundle with Mario Maker, the idea book and the 8-Bit Mario Amiibo goes on sale Sept. 11, exclusively at Walmart. Interestingly, there was NO mention of a Mario Maker/8-Bit Mario bundle, and the email went out of its way to mention the Wooly World/Yarn Yoshi bundle. (That one's October 16 at $59, the game sans amiibo is $49.)

    The Mii amiibos will show up in a three-pack on Nov. 1, no mention of exclusivity.

    Mewtwo hits Nov. 13. Falco is Nov. 20, same as the new StarFox game. Mega Yarn Yoshi hits the U.S. Nov. 15 at $40.

    Have they said how much the yoshis of the smaller variety will be in the U.S.?

    Naw, it was a mega release showing all their release dates for everything coming the rest of this year. Just figured this thread would only care about the Amiibo. :P
    Have they said how much the yoshis of the smaller variety will be in the U.S.?

    That's an important detail I overlooked. Blue and Pink are set for $16.99, while Green is ONLY available with the game.

    I am like 99.9999999999% sure US is not getting a Mario Maker bundle. So sure that I preordered digitally last night :P Which is fine, I wanted it digital anyways, esp since I can get the book still.

    If you're a GCU member you can pick up the Amiibo bundle for the price of the game alone and sell it, probably coming out ahead by a few bucks in the process.

    Or you could just play the game. I hear it's pretty good.

    He wants it digitally, I assume, judging by his disdain in having to own a plastic disc.

    So far, it looks like that Wii U bundle is the only way to get modern color 8-Bit Mario.

    Though didn't we hear some rumblings that a stand-alone release would come later?

  • Warlock82Warlock82 Never pet a burning dog Registered User regular
    There has been no word, but it totally will. It would be dumb for them ONLY to bundle him with a console. It's like Mario Party 10, which I was called an idiot on for saying that Mario amiibo would be sold out of the bundle later.

    The Pikmin have gold around their feet because they are walking through a what's left of a puddle of nectar after they ate from it. :P

    Brace yourself for nuttiness, Animal Crossing fans -- In the U.S., Isabelle and Digby only come with the Festival Game (in a bundle for $60), K.K. Slider, Reese and Cyrus only come in a triple-pack, and only Tom Nook, Lottie and Mabel are sold separately.

    Cripes.

    Oh, and apparently the retro three-pack is up again on Gamestop.
