Oh also in the OP you should mention the difference between Read (most games) and Read/Write (Smash and MP10), and how amiibo can only store data from one game at a time.

It's a really good OP though

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.

Nintendo UK supposedly has a good system too, but they don't export so I never really looked into it. I suspect it's more that Nintendo US has never really sold anything online aside from refurbished systems and replacement accessories. I don't think their system even really links to a live inventory, since there were cases of people ordering a refurb system and having to wait a while until a batch was ready.

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?

i ran out of time trying to find consistent pictures for the remaining five + dlc but i'll create something soon

the hyrule warriors thing i didn't know because i never came across it so thanks

also the animal crossing cards section is coming soon yeah

Yeah, all the Zelda character amiibo unlock a high-starred weapon for the appropriate character (presumably the Ganondorf one will work the same way). The Link/Toon Link amiibo just happen to unlock the spinner on their first scan.

Ness is in stock at GameSeek now, but looks like it's having checkout issues. He's much more expensive, though, weighing in at $29 including shipping.


edit: ZSS, Palutena, Ganondorf and Dark Pit are up, too, but marked way up at 19.99GBP each.

Ok finally got my Jigglypuff and Extra Greaninja in the mail today. Does anybody want to trade for a unopened Greninja? I'm looking for Dedede, Marth, or Lucina. I don't care if its open, just as long as it doesn't look like rear end. I also have a Sliver Mario if anybody just wants to gave me a Charizard for it.

I made shelves for these dumb things so they'd match my cute & colorful living room (unpictured)



(still need to paint the cubbies in this next one)





Gonna put hooks under the hanging shelves for the yarn yoshis, probably paint another three-level spice rack to stick next to that one in the third picture, and I'll probably make a cute holder for the Animal Crossing cards (I'm a bookbinder/repairperson so I can probably come up with something cooler than a plastic binder).

I got Silver Mario coming in tomorrow & I managed to get Rosalina on amiami. I don't pay above MSRP and I got probably about half of them on sale because I started with wave 3. If I had a better job I probably would tho because I've wasted more time than I wanted to acquiring these things. Those $20 Pits & Falcons that have been popping up are tempting.

Mostly I just want Chibi Robo tho.

Suffering at the factory of sadness every year.
I'm still going back and forth with Play-Asia trying to understand their policy on combining orders...not sure why but the first rep I talked to said that if I combine orders there is a chance that I will lose my spot altogether and not get something I ordered, so I said don't do anything I'd rather be out a few bucks than lose an order. Then for some odd reason I got an email today from a different rep telling me that they honor all orders but combining them may mean it takes longer to get out to me. Like wtf why was that last email needed...? Now I am stuck trying to email them to figure out who was right.

Robin and Lucina were up as well though I'm only casually collecting a few of these things so I didn't realize they were some of the rarer Amiibo. They're OOS now but Charizard has gone from OOS to In-Stock 3 times now so I'm refreshing the page from time to time since they seem to be trickling out stock.

Gameseek cancelled their Wave 5b orders, just got the notification from them. Apparently they went up by mistake. Gambled and lost on Dr. Mario, but I didn't have any other preorders on the other two.

+4 to amiibo! Snagged Toon Link, Sonic, and Super Mario Peach over at Toys 'R Us today, and got Toad at Gamestop (I don't think any of these are particular victories but enh). None of which were the ones I was looking for, naturally, but hey, I'm happy with that.

I'm intending to give the Toon Link up as a gift for a friend of mine though. Mostly because he's been a Toon Link main since Brawl and that hasn't changed in 4.

I also need to set aside some actual space for the drat things because the top of my Wii U is running out of room really quickly.
