    I have the dumb, should have ordered two amiibo instead of one for the free shipping. Xo

      Yeah, the Amiibo situation is getting better, due to Nintendo making more of them, the scalping market deflating, or possibly both. Hell, the retro three-pack is STILL available for pre-order at Gamestop.

      Though all that said, all the Target pre-orders are gone already.

      The ones I checked are gone already. :P

      That being said since they are sold out on Target, I hope Amazon goes live soon.

      It should be mentioned that Nintendo is just licensing the amiibo name and doing promotion

      Yacht Club Game is producing Shovel Knight themselves, so the number is up to them

      All of the new wave amiibo are sold out. Again. And Marth and Pit are sold out. Again.

      How is this still happening almost a year after these things have launched?

      Edit: Did the US ever get that Villager reprint from a few months back? I was hoping to pick that one up eventually. Maybe NoA is waiting for Happy Home Designer and/or Amiibo Festival to ship them in the states.

      I know that Canada got a few Villager. I saw it on the shelf but didn't pick up an extra one. I know I should've.

      I don't think so, but you may be right that they will do it closer to all the Animal Crossing games coming out. Certainly there is no shortage of other amiibos with shortages to reprint in the meantime ;)

      I'm not too worried about upcoming amiibo. They are getting a lot better at keeping them stocked. At this point, the only one I don't have is gold mario and I haven't had to resort to eBay yet (but I have imported a few).

      Nintendo underproducing, or people overdemanding? I suspect that Nintendo's market projections are stating that we've gone insane and are bound to come to our senses any day now.

      I'd buy a Shantae amiibo in a heartbeat. Even though she was never playable, I want there to be a Shield Knight amiibo as well. The great team must be reunited!
      And I still want a Shield Knight spin-off.

      Zero Suit Samus is compatible with Ducktales.

      Seeing the third-party come through is just feeding my desire for more cool merch of indie games I like.

      If there isn't a Jebediah Kerman amiibo planned for the wii u release of KSP imma be upset, and I would love Guacamelee miibs.

      First-party I'm mostly just looking for a Metroid, maybe an alt-pose samus, and some expanded Splatoon cast. I'm thinking a line of five maybe, with callie-marie-judd and then boy and girl Inklings with the roller/charger.

      I'd love Splatoon characters with some method to swap out weapons so you could have them reflect how you play.

      I would also love a Phoenix Wright Amiibo but I have no idea what you'd use him for - I just want him on my shelf.

      Dress up squids would be amazing, but that seems like way too much to hope for.

      So I ordered the USA Charizard from Amazon but they sent me the Japanese import one. Had anyone else had this issue? If I return it will I just get another Japanese import?

      You'd have to spend the rest of your life with the knowledge that you don't actually have a Charizard.

      You have a Lizardon.

      Really? I don't know why I thought they weren't. Then nothing to read here. Move along.

      And assuming Toy Story is reality, the poor guy won't be able to communicate with the other Amiibo!

      Why would you assume Toy Story is a reality. There is nothing to assume. It just is.

      So, I saw a Wario amiibo in the store the other day, and picked it up. I'd rather trade it than sell it to get what I really want.

      Anybody have a Mega Man they want to trade?

    • The WolfmanThe Wolfman Registered User regular
      Hooray! Thanks to sporadic restocks over the past few months that shockingly took hours instead of seconds to vanish, I'm freakin' 4 for 4 with the Fire Emblem set. At the very least I'm set for the new game. Just gotta either get a N3DS or one of those adapters though...

      The situation has gotten marginally better. There have been shockingly quite a few restocks, at least in Canada. Although you can definitely see the retail wave it follows. First EB gets Ike/Falcon/Villager, then a few days later Walmart gets the same list, then BB, and so on. It's still very much a case of "right place at the right time". Really, the only difference is that you actually have time to blink if you're in that moment. Ike actually stayed up on BB for a few hours, which is the reason I got him.
