The Nintendo Amiibo Discussion Thread

[Twisted]

i remember the first days of amiibo release my local toys r us had tons of villager..like at least around 50....but who knew?..they would become such a hot commoditie,.,,they had marth too..actually they had at least 50 of each of the 1st batch release...i'm NOT collecting these at all..because i think there would be an infinite number of these...imagine how many releases over the next 2 to 3 years?..well over 100 figures i would think...and NINTENDO sent surveys to some people asking about how interested they would be in "color variants"?..and "store exclusive limited editions"..even like where you'd go to a GAMESTOP..and line up at midnight..and in the morning they'd release 25 per store, of a different color, and that'll be it kind of thing etc..just to keep the buzz alive around amiibo and get people talking/trending about it..and bring in more buyers/collectors...

I got my Zelda from Best Buy on Sunday 12/14. Maybe because it was a preorder? That's when the e-mail said to come pick it up.

Limited shelf space for their amiibos. More like, too many characters in Smash Bros. am I right?

But yeah I'm not collecting these for all the same reasons Twisted. All I have now is Link and Zelda, and I have Toon Link and Sheik preordered. I'm only planning to pick up Zelda and EarthBound characters.
