    I will absolutely preorder that Link. I kind of want Dark Samus, even though I didn't play whichever game she came from.

    Metroid Prime 1-3? Technically she was just in the post credit scene of MP1 if you 100% the game.

    Also, Dark Samus will be the last amiibo I need. :D

    I love Zelda, but another super boring looking Link amiibo?

    I might have to keep them in-box this time. Also I just preordered it and Ivysaur/Squirtle/Snake from Best Buy a second ago, so jump on it.

        Woo, eventual Banjo Amiibo! I'm glad I didn't bite on whatever the hell Gamestop calls their notAmiibos -- those are terrible quality.

          So, the upcoming release schedule:

          July 26: Isabelle, Pichu, Pokemon Trainer
          Sept. 20: Link (from the new game), Squirtle, Ivysaur, Solid Snake
          November: Incineroar, Simon Belmont, Chrom
          Sometime in 2020: Dark Samus, Richter Belmont

          ...which is everyone in Smash other than the characters in the fighter's pass DLC.

          A lot of 3DS games being cleared out now, including those with amiibo pack-ins. For $24 (Aus) I got:

          Here ya go. Yarn Yoshi looks to be regular price but you really scored on Poochy -- $65 American at this point, making him the most expensive Amiibo out there. Congrats!

          Shucks, I could have gotten Poochy for cheap awhile back but decided against it since I don’t really like the yarn games.

          Oh well, I don’t regret it nearly as much as not getting the original GBC Shantae when I had the chance. I had it in my hand. But no, I was stupid and decided I didn’t need a new GBC game when I had a GBA. :(

            Did Isabelle really come out? If so, damn, must've missed her.

            I felt like I went back in time. After picking up my preorders, I went to see the amiibo endcap at best buy. I swear, there were 40+ pichus in a giant wave of yellow... And 2 Pokémon trainers.

            Yeah she was out. Seemed like she was the rare one of the wave.

                Seriously. I've got a series of five nice-looking floating shelves that's just big enough to accommodate everything through the fighter's pass. I checked and those shelves have been discontinued.

                Is there a good way to find particular amiibos nowadays or is it just ebay trawling? I've been picking up a few of the Smash series as I randomly find them in stores, but there's a few I'd like that I wouldn't expect to pop up in the wild nowadays (ROB, Dedede, G&W, Wolf Link, etc).

                Amiibo Alerts is a fantastic resource, as they're quick to update people about restocks. Gamestop's got a good amount. So does Amazon.

                Dedede got a restock at gamestop and wolf link got a restock at best buy in May. Neither is on their websites anymore, but it should be possible at least to find a wolf link in store.
                I don’t think rob or game & watch have gotten a reprint yet though, so they might show up alongside a new wave in the future

                I realized the other day I don't have the G&W alternate poses. I kept them all in the plastic tray and it's possible they're still at my parents place, but that'd be a bummer if they were gone. Oh well.

                They've been rereleasing a few amiibo with every new amiibo wave, so anything is possible, I guess. Personally, I'm still waiting for a rerelease of Smash Luigi.

                Aw. Here in spain amiibos normally take a lot longer to go out of stock than from what I gather happens in the US, because there's a lot less ebay collectors going around, but with having gotten into Splatoon late I seem to have missed my chance to grab the Pearl and Marina amiibos, and I don't think there's any other memorabilia for Off the Hook. And I'm not paying Figma prices for amiibos!

                I'm only missing the loot goblin or whatever from Diablo, the Skylanders DK and Bowser (which doesn't count as amiibo in my opinion), and the ones only released in Japan such as the Monster Hunter Stories and Qbby amiibo.

                It's quite humorous seeing a few pegs full of Wii Fit Trainer these days at Best Buy considering how much folks were clamoring for her in early 2015.
