What do you think about Amiibo and do you collect them?Yeah!! I really do, actually I was only thinking of getting a few of the figures of characters that weren't usually made into figures. like Little Mac or Pac Man, especially outside of Japan, but insanity took over and now I have 13 with 4 pre ordered (oh god) luckily I have only paid the normal price for all of these, apart from the first 3 which came from a store that marks the prices up of everything.
How do you display your collection? Boxed/Unboxed? Post a picture of your collection!Look below for a ton of pictures!
I have some unboxed, I'm probably eventually going to have them unboxed as they do take up an awful lot of space, I'll put them with my other Nintendo and Pokemon figures, I have a little display case.
Is it easy to find Amiibo figures in your area? Which figures are common/rare?They're around! it's pretty much the same as what Mini said, in physical stores anyway. I haven't even seen any of wave 2 apart from Luigi and Diddy, and stock online seems to appear randomly. Wave 3 was non existent in physical stores even on the release date.
What I will mention is the release dates Nintendo have provided *do* stick, Amazon offered pre orders on the week wave 3 came out, and I got everything I pre-ordered, even Rosalina. She was the only one who actually pre sold out, the others carried on to the release date and some figures still have stock left now.
What is your most wanted released figure right now? Which figures have you pre-ordered or are planning to purchase soon?Villager, pretty much! it's been briefly in stock here online for seconds, then it's gone. The other figures of wave 1 I have missing are quite easy to get and have been reduced in price.
What's your favorite Amiibo wave and why?Maybe wave 3? Mega Man, Sonic, Toon Link, Rosalina! Also it was relatively painless to get hold of them.
What are your favorite / least favorite figures?I'd say Peach and Pikachu are, as they're my first ones, and I actually play as them in Smash
Least fav? err I'm not in a rush to buy DK or Diddy, there's so many out there I might as well wait until they're cheap. Some stores only have them
Most anticipated unannounced SSB series figure?Probably Duck Hunt, or even Mr Game and Watch, just to see how he actually looks lol.
Would you like to see limited edition figures or variants?I think this would be a bad idea, it's already hard getting hold of the "rare" figures, plus the Super Mario series technically are variants & Toad.
Do you use Amiibo figures in games and which Amiibo-supported games do you own?I use them in Smash and Kart, I have Treasure Tracker too but Toad isn't out yet.
Which Amiibo-supported game(s) are you anticipating the most?Hmm, I'm not sure to be honest, I hope there's some new announcements at e3!
What Amiibo series would you like to see next? Should every major 1st party Nintendo game get its own Amiibo series?Pokemon!! but...please please make a small limited series XDDD I can't buy 700 of these things.
I think that would be good for more series, however I would like to see more 3rd party games take advantage too.
Do you think Nintendo should release a game like Skylanders/Disney Infinity?I've never liked the look of Infinity or Skylanders, however it's kind of a high price to pay to play a game, maybe a free eshop one?
How should Amiibo figures be utilized in future 3DS / Wii U games?There's been talk already of some future games using IC cards rather than figures, and I think maybe for Pokemon it could work, just have 6 cards that you can store a Pokemon on, etc. Maybe even start bundling IC chips inside the Pokemon TCG.
Which Nintendo / non-Nintendo game characters should get their own Amiibo figures?Sonic would sell pretty well! I second Bayonetta, I would really like a Street Fighter series, but that's a PS exclusive now, Capcom anything would be great. Megaman X?!
First 3, Marth is hiding!A crazy delivery I gotWeeks over hovering on stock alert websites at work got me these twoSamus hanging out with her big sis FigmaGot this and Fox from Nintendo direct.... the boxes feel newer somehow?
