Amiibo's, whose getting them?

Post by Hazerd »

Amazon/GameStop, probably other places have them up for pre-order with packaging photos.



Not gonna lie, i want them just to collect and display :roll:, and i cant be the only one.

I find them expensive :/. I will probably end up buying 2-3 of my favorite characters but not more.

I wonder how this will affect tournament play in smash bros.

Also, I think Link, Fox, Donkey Kong, Toadstool, and Pitt look awfully breakable.

Well they aren't exactly children's toys even though that's what they are supposed to be :lol:

Assuming these are not childrens' toys, why can't adult toys be built a little sturdier?

Because it's Nintendo and they are cheap? :P

Fingers crossed for 3rd party characters...Megaman :D

You know I don't think they're exactly expensive, the Disney and Activision stuff costs the same. I think the issue will be once Nintendo retires and does them going forward as being Nintendo I can see all the speculators and predatory reselling trolls having a field day.

RARE L@@K FIRST SERIES MARIO AMIIBO -- Price $40, Buy it now $55.

I'm not sure I'd be willing to use the things from a laziness or lack of interest stand point, but I think as a display I'd like the Mario, Link and maybe Starfox. But I've also been eyeballing the Sorcerer Mickey statue too for what like a year now?

I ended up getting one of every type of skylander and the first two games for like $30, all new.

I will be doing the same, the price here is like $17 a figure, that's more than I spend on most games I buy.

I thought skylanders were sold 15€ for 3, not 1. That's why I said they are too expensive
