    Looks like Newegg has the Yoshi's Wooly World amiibo bundle up for pre-order. It's mispriced at $70, but you can save ten bucks with promo code EMCAXAR88 if you want to just get the damn thing already sans hassle.

    Is it? I was just able to plop it into a shopping cart.

    Then again it's been up since midnight, which is surprising even with the $10 price hike.

    Huh, when did the Yoshi's Woolly World with amiibo bundle show up on amazon.ca? Good thing I decided to check today. Amusingly, they used a picture of the Japanese version.

    Thanks, I just pre-ordered it. I'm still not thrilled that the green amiibo is only available with a plastic disc game, but I'll deal with it I guess.

    We just found the Splatoon girl at Toys r Us. My son's birthday is Wednesday so guess who got an early birthday gift? It was easily his most wanted Amiibo so it was pretty exciting.

    Thanks! Just pre-ordered mine too. Not 100% sure I'll keep the order ($80 is ridiculous), but it's nice to know I've got a yarn yoshi Amiibo if I want it.

    So Dr. Mario has shipped, but Ganondorf has not.... TARRRGGGEEEETTTTTTTTTTTT.......

    Whatever, if he doesn't ship by Friday I will see if I can cancel just that part of the order and get him elsewhere. As long as I get to keep my free shipping for Dr. Mario :P Seriously tho, Target, FIX YO SHIT! This happened with Jigglypuff and I never got her. Even tho you put her up on release day way after I pre-ordered. *stabs Target*

    Friday is going to be wait for Bowser Jr day for me. (I have the day right, right?)_

    Bowser Jr, Mario Maker, and possibly two Star Wars buildable Lego figures (Greivous and Commander Cody whatwhat!).

    I have Friday off work (yay Monday holiday and company policy that lets me float holidays!) so I am gonna wait at TRU for Bowser Jr. and anyone else I can't get before then. I am hoping to pick up most of them at Nebraska Furniture Mart before that (they usually put them online pretty early) to avoid paying an extra Geoffrey buck for each if I can :D

    $80 Canadian dollars is about right. Nintendo has been charging $65 for games (while the other console/PC games are going for $75-80 now) so $65 for the game and $15 for the Amiibo is probably right on.

    Only if you accept that it's ok for our prices to be tied directly to our dollar's value vs. the US dollar (imagine the outcry in the US if the JP game companies had raised prices like that when the Yen's value went so high?), but that's not a conversation for this thread. :)

    Friday is the day!
    5 amiibos!
    3 hours in line!
    2 annoying people in the front taking up everyones time to pick out the perfect amiibo. (Happened twice already, I am already dreading it)
    1 Mario Maker!

    Friday will be a good day.

    I might panic and grab an extra amiibo for Mario maker. I'm thinking pikachu. Not sure. Or sonic.

    -bowser jr
    -Mario maker
    -extra amiibo(?)
    -Star Wars buildable commander Cody
    -Star Wars buildable General greivous

    Or I say fuck it, skip the two buildables and get the black/orange x-wing set.

    Sorry. I'm nerding out right now. Ha.

    And just think about all the stuff that wasn't shown.

    -Up and down animations
    -Skidding animations
    -Victory music
    -Death music

    Fuck off there's a lot of work and detail that went into all of that. :)

    I can only imagine all the work that went into them. And to think there are people who want costumes in all the other themes.

    Pretty sure they were into making actual physical games back in the day.

    Also, fuck all. I can unlock those in-game, right? I thought I read that.

    Do you think it's viable I can get them in the US before Christmas? Because I don't see anything special about their production totals mentioned anywhere.

    Well it showed what some of the Animal Crossing ones look like.
    And they did talk about they were trying to made a Airwing that would transform into the walker and back so the other Star Fox characters would not really be out of the question.

    I mean the colored yarn yoshis,smash yoshi ,Mario series yoshi and Mega Yoshi have their own sprites. I'm gonna take a not so wild swing and guess all but a few Mario costumes have amiibo counterparts

    Well yes, all current and known upcoming amiibo have a costume. Including "duplicate" amiibo.

    But I think it's a bit of a correlation fallacy to think that this means all costumes must have amiibo or be future amiibo.

    Not that I wouldn't mind being wrong. Waluigi and Ashley amiibo? "Just when I think I'm out, they pull me back in" comes to mind. :) But I'm not going to take those costumes as proof.

    It's a crazy world where anything can happen, but -- in Europe, a magical place where Amiibo are plentiful, the Yarn Yoshis sold out instantly.
