Nothing exciting to see here. Move along.
Looking at the Smash Amiibos, and the waves, the only ones of the original 3DS/Wii U roster that haven't been announced yet are Falco, Mr. Game & Watch, R.O.B., Duck Hunt Duo, and the Mii Fighters.

Finally got into the Fire Emblem realm with that last Play Asia run. Lucina and Marth will finally get to stand next to Samus and Wario and have a good ol' time.

GameSeek (??) has Bowser Jr, Dr. Mario and Olimar up for order. ~$20 each.

edit: AmiiboNews/Alerts are saying that they ship via padded bags, so this is a bad option for CIB folks.

i would say gameseek is okay if you don't care that they ship in a bag. i'd definitely (and in fact did) order from them before b&h/playasia/j-shop

Yup, I open mine, so bags are fine. I had an Amazon.uk order for Dr. Mario (since he was the only 5b that would ship to the U.S.), but I cancelled him and ordered those three. So I've got 5a and 5b all set, just hoping for a cheaper option before the UK orders ship.

Looking at /r/amiibo they charge immediately.

Today I now have Mario, Sonic, Mega Man, and Pac-Man. They are opened and standing next to each other and it makes me happy to see them all there :)

Now, I just need Dr. Mario, Ganondorf, Zero Suit Samus, Lucas, Duck Hunt, and ROB and then I'll be free and never have to buy another Amiibo again!

Also, I need to get a glass/plastic display case for them. I like them on a table, but they get dusty :(

if only there was a way to not get thme dusty. only a way where you wouldn't have to worry about that. if only they came in some sort of package to you know, to keep the dust out. if only they came with something like that so you wouldn't have to worry about dustinig up your amiibos. sonic, lucina, ness, completely dust free. if only such a way.

Got my inkling on a fluke, someone didn't pick up their preorder I think because all of their other stores were completely out of all of them.

Also reserved my yarn yoshi as soon as the preorders opened. Crossing my fingers super hard.

I should have jumped on the Gameseek opportunity...I should get Amiibos as fast as they come out. I regret hesitating today.

Calm down. You were going to pay $20 + shipping. You will be able to get the new ones for that price at most when they actually come out. Breathe, dude.

Unless you get stuck ordering from a lovely place like Best Buy, where they'll charge you individual shipping per Amiibo and they almost end up $20 anyway.

It's shrine maiden, not shrine maid!
I compulsively check this BestBuy in the busy shopping center where I work and it just paid off. They had like 12 Metaknights scattered all over the amiibo section so I finally got one. Woo!

Normally they have like 4 pikachus and a toon link.

Works for me, now I have all the Kirbys.

Edit: They also had like 30 silver Mario's fwiw.

Silver Mario is great because I think a lot of people thought he would be rare but he's become uncommon at best

You're missing Mewtwo and Lucas in the TBA section. The second most recent direct (where Lucas was announced) confirmed that DLC characters would get amiibo.

EDIT: Also, in the compatibility section, the Hyrule Warriors section could use a mention of the fact that once the Spinner is unlocked Link and Toon Link unlock a high-starred Link weapon.

And no mention of the upcoming Animal Crossing cards?

Why doesn't Nintendo just order up some web-based order system for amiibos. They'd know exactly how many they'd need to print, and more importantly, it would actually be possible to get them :(

I think Nintendo.jp already does this...I'm guessing there's some retailer agreements in the US/Europe preventing it for the rest of the world.
