    I had the chance to get all of ZSS, Bayonetta, and Wii Fit at one Best Buy but figured showing up at the counter with those three together would look suspect.

    Just remembered that I pre-ordered a Snake amiibo for my brother-in-law a few weeks back. He's a lapsed Nintendo gamer that's back into the fold with the Switch and hasn't really owned a Nintendo platform since the N64, if not maybe the SNES

    He's not an amiibo collector, but he does love him some Metal Gear, so that should be a fun surprise to arrive on his doorstep Friday.

    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.

    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.

    Really? I have not been to best buy in sometime {it's dubious at least to ride a bike there} I know I got the Wii fit from someone here and I have not opened it because

    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.

    I have the loot goblin, the bowser skylanders one {it was a open package so it was only $6 at the time} and I have all the monster hunter ones. which was interesting as I talked someone I worked with to get Monster Hunter stories and they asked it takes amiibo and I accidently talked what the monster hunter ones do so I loaned him two and was surprised he returned them a few days later

    Yep, Wii Fit Trainer's common at Best Buy now.

    What's funny is that there's dozens of Pichus clogging up the store shelves, even though pretty much every other new Smash amiibo release sells through in a month or so. Nobody likes that little bastard.

    I think the Pichu sold just as well as the others, but was massively overproduced for some reason.

    Both of the Best Buys in my town got in like 5 Isabelles, 5 Trainers, and over 30 Pichus.

    Hmm. Maybe that’s why the Home Depot guys gave me a funny look when I bought duct tape, plastic bags and bleach.

    Best Buy sells My Little Pony stuff. Trust me, the cashiers have seen some shit.

    I kind of want the wedding Bowser. He was everywhere and then disappeared while Wedding Peach and Wedding Mario went on clearance. I only have the Splatoon emcees, Inkling Girl, and Solaire.

    No judging but it is interesting that you’re ok with one but not the other. :P

    It's his first amiibo and he already knows how the game is played.

    Dark Samus and Richter Belmont are scheduled for January 17, and they're already live on Best Buy's site. Amazon will presumably follow in a few days or so.

    No sign of Amiibo for fighter's pass Smash characters, which is a touch concerning.

    I think the fighter pass 5 will all release together, so they wont announce anything until all characters are announced/out.

    Which is possible. Toys take a surprisingly long time to go from prototyping to production, and we know at least some of the fighters' pass characters weren't locked down until late last year.

    Finally got an update on the shovel knight 3-pack, looks like it’s set for a December 10th release.

    I cancelled my pre-order for the 3-pack. I ordered it such a long time ago and now I just don't care about the Shovel Knight characters anymore. I appreciate that they took time to make that DLC the best it can be but it was just too drawn out.

    I just got notified that the 3 pack is shipping.

    I ordered it in Feb 2018. Holy shit.

    Welp, Dark Samus and Richter come out Friday, and there's no other Amiibo announced. Have we reached the end of the line? Or is Nintendo getting all their ducks in a row for Smash DLC Amiibo? There's a Smash direct on Thursday, so maybe we'll find out soon.

    I'm going to have to stop after the first DLC wave (if it comes), since I'm running out of room on the cool floating shelves that are now discontinued.

    Switch: 3947-4890-9293
  • cloudeaglecloudeagle Registered User regular
    ...huh, no more Amiibo announced. While it's certainly possible production of the Smash DLC Amiibo was delayed to prevent leaks (toys take much longer to design and produce than you'd think), I guess we shouldn't count on any more coming out. Toys-to-life is thoroughly dead aside from Amiibo, after all.

      Just noticed that Best Buy is taking preorders for a restock of the piranha plant and smash Isabelle amiibos.
      Both of them pretty much immediately disappeared from stores after release last year.

      Edit: K.Rool too. He wasn’t completely impossible to find before though.

      Anyone have an idea where I can find the box art for the newer amiibo? Specifically after the Bayonetta wave.

        not sure if this is old news or not, but amazon has a bunch of link amiibos (presumably japanese imports) that were previously only offered in limited quantities through single retailers (presumably because NOA is even more stupid than NOJ or whatever)

      • cloudeaglecloudeagle Registered User regular
        There's been a bunch of re-releases of the more recent Smash amiibo like Isabelle, K. Rool, Piranha Plant, Dark Samus and the like.

        I think Wii Fit Trainer went on sale at some places for $10, which is just mind-boggling for those who lived through the crunch times.

        I almost bought the Wii Fit Trainer because I remember there was a massive demand for it. But I would just be adding to my clutter... What was it used for and why was it in such demand?

          Ahhh, the famous fear of missing out and then the mass mobbing... I really don't understand people. Honestly I'm still waiting for the last BotW figures to be released here, but gave up and ordered the Japanese re-releases.

          That one and Villager. Which explains why Nintendo went bonkers with an Animal Crossing line nobody bought (because the supply shortages had been sorted out by then).
