I did just find out now that there are notable packaging differences between the European and US amiibo. I've got to decide now how much the "collector" in me cares.

EU Version
US Version

Looks like they have "Super Smash Bros. Collection" listed there (I wonder what it'll say for NON-Smash Amiibos?) and then the "N0.#" for each amiibo with its name on the right side.

I think I really like the European packaging better (surprise, surprise) because:
1) they're numbered and would be useful for ordering them and
2) I like how there's a possibility there will be different "collections" so you can have different poses from different collections theoretically rather than the US where we'll likely just have 14 marios that all say "Mario".

Another notable difference with the packaging is that from what I see on the videos of American's who are removing the foil sticker from inside the box, the US sticker comes off easier than our's... One of mine, I couldn't get the sticker off with a small metal stick like somebody else did... >.< It was like they used the strongest glue in the world that holds the foil sticker on our Amiibos. >.<
