However, when I kill off some "expendable" miis (
) and quit and re-enter the mii channel, I never receive anything. It's frustrating because someone's spent the time to send me a mii, and then it gets lost in cyberspace somewhere, doomed to forever wander the great abyss, with no home. I have no way to know what it was, and who sent it to me.Anybody else running into this? Anyone know how to fix it?

Considering I've got about 50-60 friends on my list, that'd be no short order. I'm looking for a reason this is happening, and if I can recover the "lost miis." Am I exiting/re-entering the channel wrong somehow, or maybe there's some "Receive Miis" button I've been missing or something? Do I have to power-off my Wii in between?? I'm mainly just confused.

Anyway, decoyman, to confirm the "copying" that the sending really is, I remember that on the second or third day with my Wii I went into the Mii Parade and saw a Mii of my friend Miyuru (he claims to be an Internet legend, I guess he's "famous" on GAF or something) and took him to my own Mii Plaza. Then I deleted him and freaked out that I no longer saw him in the parade, however, I saw that his brother was there and assumed that I was able to delete other people's Miis (even though that would be dumb). Turns out that wasn't the case...I'm guessing WiiConnect24 didn't connect and didn't update the fact that he was actually still there. Later, he sent himself back to me, instead of having me grabbing him from the Parade, if that makes a difference.
EDIT: 50-60 people? Holy smokes! Yeah, I'm guessing they're (or the copies of them are) actually lost, I haven't heard of them keeping a queue of incoming Miis.

what does the Mii parade top out at?

Plaza is definitely capped at 100 though, which shows some oversight on Nintendo's part – that's only one for every potential friend in your friend book. Got friends who want to play with their own miis, or weird creations you want to save? You'd be out of luck. Though... I don't know if copying to a controller could help any... are you able to use those for play in Wii Sports, assuming the controller is active?

If your one Wii contact only made two Miis, then you'll only see two Miis. I guess they could've made more, but maybe they didn't set them to Mingle?
