Amiibo

UK wise Ness isn't exclusive but is proving very hard to order online. Same was as Robin and Lucina. We get those three, Charizard, Wario and end of the month.

Shulk and Rosalina are nigh on impossible to find.

Well, Ness is Gamestop exclusive. He's not as important as Rosalina was, but recalling how difficult it was to get her amiibo, I will go through a similar ordeal by waiting at Gamestop on 5/28 for the Ness release. Looks like Robin is a standard release, which is a relief. I really want both the Robin and Ness ones. Palutena will be up there as well in priority regardless of if she goes exclusive or not. I'm tempted to get the pack for Splatoon that the Squid comes in. Jigglypuff and Greninja are exclusive as well so for anyone who wants those that lives in the US.... get ready to wait in line.
 
I've got the Splatoon pre-orders as well as the June release preorders on a site I often use. Strangely Nintendo haven't got this up yet.

So that's Shulk, Ness, Lucina, Robin, Greninja, Jigglypuff, Olimar, Dr. Mario and Bowser Jr. I need to get ordered.

What's that I missed Rosalina?

Finally! Really do like the Rosalina Amiibo, such detail.
 
Been able to blast some preorders today. Was able to find the Splatoon one's cheaper as well as Greninja, Jigglypuff, Olimar, Dr. Mario and Bowser Jr.

Smash wise Shulk, Ness, Lucina and Robin to go. I also need classic Peach and Mario.
 
Motherfucking yes, it is here:
CC38LSMW4AEtJfY.jpg

Now which a UK release date get announced. I do like the detail on it, the gold looks good and the red M adds a touch to it.

It looks shiny and awesome. Alright Lee, what happens? Does he work the same in Smash Bros as the classic Mario does? What about in Mario Party? I'm curious. Still tempted to try to find one on Amazon or something if the prices aren't ridiculous. Congrats on finding one. 5/29 will be a big day for me what with Ness, Robin, and the Splatoon sets coming in. I might get them all at once.
 
It works the same as Classic Mario does but I'm not unboxing it to find out for sure.

Ness and co are out next week for the UK. Can't get Ness/Lucina and Robin anywhere. I'm sure it'll happen.
 
Three new have arrived today:

Wario:
CDx0wJ1W0AAPmbB.jpg

I would much prefer if this was the classic variant. The detail on his jeans is good but I'm not too big a fan of the see through things propping him up.

Charizard
CDx07OxWAAAGqPZ.jpg

Looks more cartoony than I expected, but I like that. Like Bowser he's too big for the base.

Pac-Man
CDx02jFXIAE9f0N.jpg

Simplicity wins for Pac-Man. It works, I like it.


On the hunt for:
Shulk, Ness, Robin, Lucina and Peach (Mario Party). There's a rumour that Nintendo are re-releasing all in the summer. I hope it's true.
 
Splatoon Amiibo have arrived today.

Inkling Squid

Inkling Boy

Inkling Girl

I particularly like the bases for the Amiibo's they have an ink splatter on them. Really good quality and the colours are vibrant.
 
Greninja
CGMR0weXEAA95UZ.jpg

Really well made, a good pose on the stand as well. I do like the colours of this.

Jigglypuff
CGMRzmgWcAApyXj.jpg

Simplicity works. Just like Kirby but so much happier. I like it.
 
I managed to get Ness. They didn't have a midnight release just first come first serve this morning and it started right when I had to be at work. Luckily I have a friend who works at the local Game Stop. Robin's next on my list. The Splatoon set and the game itself are gonna have to wait due to current finances. Palutena in July is my highest priority once I find a Robin.

So apparently there is a Silver Mario also that also got released on 5/29. Had I gotten Gold Mario I'd be a whole lot more interested in Silver Mario.... Still pretty cool though.
 
Yeah I still need Shulk, Ness, Robin and Lucina (the last three having been out for a month in the UK). I also need to get the classic Peach/Mario. Gold and Silver Mario still don't have a UK release but I imported Golden Mario. Suppose Silver will need to be done too.

I'd like to see a Classic Wario/Waluigi.

Yeah, Gold Mario will have to be Amazon for me. Part of me still wants one. I'm already going to have to look for Robin now (my friend could only get me one so I asked for Ness due to exclusivity) might as well throw Gold and Silver Mario in too if I find them. July for Palutena's release can't get here soon enough....


I'd like to see a Classic Wario/Waluigi.

Agreed! Classic Wario's look is much better than the one they used on the Smash Warrio Amiibo. They'll probably make both Waluigi and a Classic Wario as part of the Mario Bros set. Waluigi would join Toad as the 2nd (disregarding the Splatoon set) Amiibo to not work on Smash Bros. If we're talking new Amiibo ideas you know who I want to see? Pink Gold Peach. They already have the Gold & Silver Mario's, so why not Pink Gold Peach? She could unlock a suit in Mario Kart and then still function as a regular Peach in Smash Bros.


Just found out also that Lucas and Mewtwo are getting Smash Bros Amiibos. Release dates are TBD.
 
My collection's growing. Here are Ness and Robin.

Gold and Silver Mario also arrived today. I ended up finding them while looking for Robin but they took a day longer to get here. I'm a bit disappointed that they function identically to the regular Mario, but they are even shinier in person and they look great next to my Wii U with the others.

Palutena will be my 9th when she gets released. Debating on Toon Link and some of the others I've missed.

Amiibo updates:

I'm jealous Dagger Dias, I am jealous.

Still needing Ness, Robin, Lucina and Shulk. Classic Peach and Mario are easy to get but I've not got round to them yet. Silver Mario has been ordered and will be here for Thursday. Got it for $12 on Amazon.

Lucas and Mewtwo were announced two Nintendo Directs ago. I imagine the future DLC ones will be done.

A few rumours and announced ones doing the rounds:

Chibi Robo (So far JP Only, confirmed):
Screen_Shot_2015-06-01_at_10.13.53_AM.0.png

I love the detail and cuteness of this one.



Classic Rosalina, Wario and Donkey Kong (half rumour, half confirmed).

This was apparently reported back in February but I never saw it. Link to the three here: http://uk.ign.com/articles/2015/02/...als-new-wario-rosalina-and-donkey-kong-amiibo

Loving Classic Wario, his pose is brilliant. Victorious.

Captain Toad

No picture but the listing popped up on German Amazon.
 
It's here. Silver Mario. I actually prefer the detail to the gold one, it just seems a lot more special.

I finally have Ness which I got really cheap on eBay. Nintendo also said they're releasing stock this week of Amiibo.

CIS_LVTWsAUtOEA.jpg


Expect pictures of the new Smash 4 on Friday/Saturday.
 
Four new Amiibo, neither are out in the US yet.

First up is Palutena which is released next month in the US.
CIg0CWZWsAABizb.jpg

The colours on this is pretty good, I like the vibrant greens and the staff looks great.



Second is Dark Pit who is also released in the US in July
CIgz-ACWoAA6tJW.jpg

Again is detail is great, it seems to be the case with all three Kid Icarus ones. The dark colour scheme does work well.



Third is Zero Suit Samus which is released in September in the US.
CIg0AFMXAAAsJma.jpg

I still find it ridiculous that she has heels.



Last up is Ganondorf also released in the US in September.
CIgz7-XWcAASegF.jpg

He's exactly as expected, great detail.




Stock seems to be getting better with loads in shops now (including rarer ones). Another advantage is that eBay prices has really dropped. I managed to get Robin for £16 when stores sell him at £15.


The Amiibo I need to finish the collection are:
Smash:Lucina and Shulk,
Classic: Mario and Peach
Yarn Yoshi: All three
 
Yay the two rarest Fire Emblem ones:

Robin:
CI3MNABWoAA3x0f.jpg

The thing I love most is the tome has writing on it. The hair is brilliant for detail and the cloak is glorious.

Lucina
CI3MO65W8AEG9bT.jpg

Doesn't seem to photograph well but I do appreciate the detail here. The sword stance is fitting and the x's on the cuff's are great.

Interesting point, EU Amiibo's have instruction booklets. NA ones do not.


The Amiibo I need to finish the collection are:
Smash: Shulk
Classic: Mario and Peach
Yarn Yoshi: All three

4 more weeks and I'll go looking for Palutena! September is going to be a big month. Mr Game & Watch and the Duck Hunt dog are tempting. I'm a little disappointed in them making a set for the Mii fighters, I don't think there should be Amiibos for them but whatever. I doubt I'll get Chibi Robo. I don't play Animal Crossing so I definitely won't be getting any of those. Other than Isabelle and KK Slider through Mario Kart and Smash Bros respectively, I've never heard of any of those characters. KK Slider is awesome, might get his depending on what other games he is compatible in. Would be cool if Isabelle worked in Mario Kart although she probably won't.
 
I don't understand the difference in releases for Europe and NA.

I already have:

Palutena (Smash Bros)
Dark Pit (Smash Bros)
Zero Suit Samus (Smash Bros)
Ganondorf (Smash Bros)

Next week I'll have:

Pikmin & Olimar (Smash Bros)
Dr Mario (Smash Bros)
Bowser Jr (Smash Bros)

The three Yoshi Yarn ones aere also out here now but I don't have them yet.

That's Europe getting it at least 2 months before the NA release, just weird for an Amiibo. Can see why for games but not Amiibo.
 
I am tempted to go the Amazon route to get a Dark Pit. The extra $10 for the Japanese version may be worth it rather than driving 30 minutes to my nearest Best Buy and waiting for hours to get my hands on one.
 
Dark Pit in the US is a Best Buy Exclusive. Palutena is an Amazon exclusive.

I don't like the exclusive retailer thing that happens in the states. At least in Europe we have a lot of options.
