I'm not collecting just one, but two for the bf.
Managed to get an extra marth for him as he only wants the Fire Emblem Characters.
I managed to snag a Toon Link and Rosalina ( which i may trade for Lucario)
Is it as rare overseas as it is here in the states to find them?

The answer is no. Not even close.

Here's a picture form a store in Germany someone posted on Reddit before. Even NWS doesn't look like this -- just not enough of any of these (besides Peach, Kirby, and Pikachu) ANYWHERE in the states.

I wanna cry when I see a pic like that. So jelly.
I wish they weren't such a money suck to import.
I would import all the ones I am missing Like Villager, Little Mac and Pit.

We are still waiting for the rest of Wave 3 here to release.
People here buy them up and then resell them for $50, its crazy.
Lucky the most I paid was $20 for a EU Marth.

That pic could be from the Saturn market here in the city ^^

It's really crazy that the amiibos are so damn rare in the US. :/
Is there any region lock coming with the amiibos ? Can EU amiibos be used on US consoles without any problems ?

No region lock. I have a EU Marth.
They are not region locked. And since they are so cheap people buy mass amounts then resell for $50 because they have bought them all up.
Then when a gamer like me comes along that only wants a certain few we are either forced to buy at hijacked prices or import for $35 a piece.

I wish they were cheaper to import.

I'm pretty sure xhunter doesn't need a Sheik anymore, but was there anyone else who did? Looks like Wal-Mart has restocked Sheik 3 times today already (sold out at the moment but...)
