Gold and Silver Mario amiibos as Club Nintendo final prizes?


The smallest flat rate box, which could hold maybe four unpackaged Amiibo, would cost around 10-15 dollars.


I just found out that amiibos are not region locked so will take you up on that offer, let me talk to my sister and we'll come up with a list together and split shipping costs. I know that I want to get Marth, Wii Fit Trainer and Villager (if you can find one). She will probably want a Toon Link, Pit, and Meta Knight since she didn't pre-order any wave 3 figures.

Probably the best looking Amiibo so far. The detail is very nice and there's nice contrast of colors (his vest color pops more than anything). A few people have been saying their Monado's have a slight bend, but mine is perfectly straight.

I'm deathly afraid of opening it, but I probably will tonight.

Toad preorders are already sold out...

The Toad pre-orders are up at Best Buy, though.

I wish I could have gotten a Shulk, but I can't be greedy! I got an email that my orders for Metaknight, King Dedede, Ike, and Mega Man are in store on the 20th (Best Buy). I can get them when I pick up Kirby and the Rainbow Curse! :3

I can't order online from Best Buy though (living in PR), so my best bet is either Walmart or Gamestop. That being said, I lucked out with this Shulk and I'm tired of the insanity that is pre-ordering these things. I want to at least finish my mains (Robin and ZS Samus) but I won't lose sleep if don't get them.

Ah. I learned something new about you, Soren! :)

Yeah, I liken the Amiibo hunt to Beanie Babies back in the day. Man, I was obsessed with those things! haha
However, this time I'm not making my mom drive around the city for 'em! I do the driving instead! Actually, I've just been pre-ordering the ones I want, and if I can't get others, then maybe I can import or just be glad I have the ones I have.

Got my Shulk amiibo today as well, though the box was a giant mess of being abused and beaten. Luckily, Shulk was fine. It looks a lot better then the Link Amiibo by far. Maybe is has something to do with there not being an ugly yellow bar.

Looking at Amazon/Ebay, Shulk is going for $30 and up.

I ended up with two too links. I am willing to sale one of them for the same price I got it at Toys R Us. If not I will return it to the store.

I was thinking of getting a Pit as well but my sister wants Pit and we are tying to divide up the list of characters between us. I figured I could get Dark Pit but she wants that one as well.

Get a Peach amiibo, and give it the nickname "Pit."

You won't even be able to tell the difference since Peach is just a near exact clone of Pit.

There's one slight difference. Peach has a more masculine jaw line. If you look close and zoom in, you can see it.

I wasn't sure at first but, doing a side by side comparison, I see your right.

My brother purchased a Sheik for me as an early birthday present. It was the last one at our local Best Buy.

Was looking at Toon Link and Bowser this weekend. Both looked good and would be fun collectibles. But I'm so pissed at the whole short stock issue that after thinking for a minute they both went back on the shelf. Just not worth the hassle of trying to collect these when most of the figs I want are so damned hard to find.

Nintendo's answer to the supply issue is cards

Rumor: Nintendo plans to resupply all amiibos except for the store exclusives.

1-Marth, 2-Villager, 3-Wii Fit Trainer, 4-Pit, 5-Captain Falcon, 6-Link, 7-Fox, 8-Rosalina, 9-Samus, 10-Yoshi


This list is kind of bullshit. A whole bunch of Amiibo figures have essentially seen 100% sell-through, so ranking them this way is misleading.
