I've been into Best Buy a few times over the past several months, and each time they have had a shelf full of Marth. It seems to be plentiful now, at least in my area.

They also have had at least a half shelf of Dark Pit also, if anyone still cares about that one.

Yeah, Marth is quite plentiful now.


Ike also got a nice restock a while back but not as much as Marth.


Robin and Lucina are out in the cold along with Dedede as never having gotten much of a restock in the States. I don't think we will be seeing Smash Dedede returning since we have the new Kirby line releasing.

Speaking of which, Best Buy had them up for preorder earlier.

I'm waiting on Amazon preorders to start.

I still have a few amiibo left in my wishlist. Cloud, Bayonetta and Corrin plus all the new Kirby figures.

Animal Crossing amiibo are getting crazy discounts which makes for tempting impulse purchases.

...So I just won Ness, Dr. Mario, and Wii Fit Trainer.

Which now makes one third of my Amiibo collection things I won in contests.

Whoo...!

So there's still nothing on Amazon about the Mario and Friends game being available with the purchase of an amiibo.

Not seeing any news of Cloud, Bayonetta, or Corrin Amiibo yet.

On the other hand, I just pre-ordered all the Kirby Amiibo at Best Buy, along with Isabelle (Summer Outfit) and some Seris 4 Amiibo Card packs. Just when I thought my addiction as over...

By the way, I'm being irresponsible and building up a collection of extra Amiibo again. I'm actually thinking of doing another Summer of Amiibo giveaway on the site.

That would be swell. I enjoyed the ones you did last year, and it's a nice thing to do for the site.

Ike amiibo are back in stock on Gamestop for the time being. Good thing I held off on him

They found a way to bring smart people and Marie fanboys together by putting them in a bundle and making people split it. Well played, gentlemen/ladies.

For a second there, I thought you were trying to imply the subhuman Callie loving race had taste.

But I appreciate your sarcasm.

I thought I was out of the amiibo game and there were no more left that I'd care about, but then I realized Cloud, Corrin, and Bayo are still on the table. Now this.

I don't like that the squid is once again attached to a three-pack. Ain't no Phil got money for that!

It's a bit of a hassle, but I'm sure you'll be able to import it for something close to the regular price of an amiibo.

Just a heads up that Disney Infinity got cancelled. Retailers are dumping stock with steep discounts. Now is the time to pick them up if you wanted a few Marvel, Star Wars, or Disney figures to go with your amiibo.


I had just picked up a 3.0 starter set last month. I'll probably grab some Marvel figures and other personal favorites. Pity as I felt they were the strongest of all the current Toys-to-life platforms.

Speaking of Disney Infinity, what figures do you think are the best? I'm not sure, I've been wholly focused on Amiibo, but if I just pick up random Disney Infinity figures that won't make much sense...

In terms of look/build quality?


I only recently picked up the 3.0 starter so I just have Anakin and his padawan Ahsoka. Both look great with no defects. If you are a fan of the Clone Wars show it really stays true to their look in the show. Most of the Marvel ones look nice as well (though Iron Man seems a bit bland in coloring).


The Pixar figures look like they were meant to be made into figures and the characters based off of live action human characters look natural as well.


I mostly want them for nostalgic reasons to go on my nostalgia shelf. I only started playing the game last night. Looks like it will be a mix of Minecraft/sandbox style play for the toy box with themed levels that play similar to the recent LEGO titles.


They do have levels for racing and for a fighting game but I have not tried those yet.

FYI, I'm gonna be giving away amiibo during our E3 coverage (along with other prizes):

http://www.nintendoworldreport.com/sitenews/42821/nintendo-world-report-e3-contest-and-prize-schedule

After E3 I have plans to resume the whole "Summer of Amiibo" schtick and give out another slew of figures that I have extras of.

Ok so I don't know if this is something I can talk over here but since its related to Amiibo, I guess I can so pardon me if its not appropriate for this to be expressed here.


So I want to know over here like......is there any differences between Amiibo and DLC? Like I don't see why people are complaining about locked amiibo content here seeing as how a lot of them is optional and that it doesn't hinder the overall experience.


I myself am not forced to get one and I don't feel like getting one either simply because...well, its optional and no one's forcing you to get them.


And yet, people rant about them like they are needed for the overall experience. I can understand them not getting the supplies but then again, Nintendo didn't even know that they would print so much money.....

Speaking of Amiibo, now that the Pound is tanking, FOR REASONS WE WON'T TALK ABOUT HERE BECAUSE POLITICS, is there some place online I can take advantage of this situation to buy Amiibo?
