that giant yarn Yoshi looks fucking awesome but $60 (Cdn) for it sounds incredibly steep

Could be a possible sign of future things from the retailer as Walmart decided they wanted to get in on the amibo scalping market with the Marth amiibo as a possible start. They got a new shipment of the figurine recently and deiced to hike the price to $28 each.
Ended up selling out almost as quickly as the first batch of the figurine. http://www.destructoid.com/walmart-s...p-307988.phtml |

Fuck that.
Could have just been an error or something but no way I'm paying those kinds of prices. Thankfully Marth was one of the recent restocks in Canada so I got him for his usual price |

Rumored to include Shovel Knight GOTY "on the amiibo" with new content too.

Yeah that tweet was made earlier then pulled (probably at Nintendo's request)... I'm guessing a retailer jumped the gun on it
Really hoping it becomes official though. Would absolutely love a SK amiibo. Hopefully it also has tie-ins to the main game. Not expecting any SSB compatibility. Would be fucking sweet if there's a Mario Maker sprite for Shovel Knight |

Being implied from the pre-Pax Prime event sponsored by Nintendo is that the Shovel Knight amiibo is the start of more third party characters getting the amiibo treatment.

Love it, personally. I was always hoping they would expand outside of just Smash heroes.
Would like to see a Shantae amiibo done for... Reasons. |

Best Buy's currently having an online 2 for $20 sale for select amiibos. Mostly from the Smash Bros and Mario Party series of figurines.

Ok wtf is an Amiibo? I keep hearing bits and pieces about how they are hard to come by.

They're just collectible Nintendo toys that add some functionality to certain games (mainly Smash Bros)
some of them are rarer than others... if you go into a Best Buy or Toys R Us etc in the video games section you'll probably see a wall full of Mario ones because they're super common, but probably not any, for example, Kirby |

According to Nintendo, they are not manufacturing the Shovel Knight amiibo with Yacht Club in charge of almost everything for the figurine.

Amazon seems to have pre-orders up for a bunch of them already... just placed order for ZSS, Olimar, Ganondorf and 8-bit Classic. Cool
Need to grab Dr. Mario and Bowser Jr. still... and Modern Mario. Hope I can get one of them while I pick up my Mario Maker tomorrow |

Hey RDD, Modern Mario is apparently only available here in a bundle with a Wii U. What the fuck.
If I order one from a Canadian site, could I have it shipped to you? How much would it be for you to then ship it to me? |

Yeah Canada has it on its own, which is odd.
You can have it shipped here np. Or I can try and snag one at Walmart here (ordering from walmart.ca for my own to be safe). Not sure the cost to ship there, I'll look into it |

Got all of this wave so far except Bowser Jr. Only reason I haven't grabbed him is because toysrus.ca has $8.91 shipping cost... seems bullshit. Gonna check the store in Kitchener here after work and hopefully they have some. Otherwise I'll just bite the bullet and get it shipped.

Was able to pick up a zero suit samus. Was the one I wanted most out of this wave, so I'm a pretty happy camper.

I got the entire wave ordered (except Modern Mario). I already have Bowser Jr, and the rest should be here next week.

Mega Man Legacy Collection will feature amiibo support - unlock challenges
Mega Man amiibo will be used to unlock challenges, kinda like how the Splatoon ones currently are in Splatoon. Kinda cool. Hoping there's a slight restock when this launches if that's the case since I do not yet have a Mega Man |

Poit has all of the currently released amiibo, as far as I know.
I have probably about half of them... I think between 30-40, I haven't fully counted in a bit. I started late to the game and missed a lot of the earlier ones. Plus I haven't scooped up all of the super common ones (Peach, Bowser SMB, etc) but I can get those any time |

Palutena's always flickering on Amazon, I didn't think she was that difficult to get even after the initial release

I don't think I'm gonna do the Cards. I'm kinda wishy-washy with AC in general but the cards just seem too much..

Apparently Activision sort of forgot to include a nose for Bowser for the special Skylander amiibo. Also seems to be part of a wider problem with the current set of Skylanders figurines having defects or being poorly made.
