Seems to say Nintendo was the manufacturer. Or do you mean the company that ran the safety tests?

I suppose you could try to call or e-mail that Eden Brandeis person for more info...

gold and silver Mario amiibos kind of make sense in that these character variants appeared before in games..i don't think there would be a line of gold and silver amiibos..why would you buy a gold princes peach? or a silver toad?...so I still hold on to the theory these will be comic con releases or contest promo prizes in the US..LOL..but readily available for the rest of the world.hahahaha

Talking Re: The Nintendo Amiibo Discussion Thread

I probably wouldn't get these anyway as I'm not collecting Mario amiibos, but even if I was, I would never fill out surveys for a "chance" to win anything. I'd just save my money and wait for the eBay listings to appear.

Seriously if Nintendo tries something like that I would hope their survey system would get spammed until their servers broke down. And knowing NoA that wouldn't take very long.

But no doubt, however limited they may be in the US they'll be easier to get elsewhere.

Amiibo's the ban of my life.
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.
