I tried three different searches and couldn't even find Little Mac on Amazon just now.

I managed to get a Little Mac at EB Games the other day. I've gotta say, as happy as I am to have found him, his sculpt doesn't seem all that great next to the other Amiibo on my shelf.

Finally found Zelda here in Central Texas.
Maybe now Nintendo will acknowledge Metroid has a fanbase?

I hate amiibo. Every time I buy some, I want to buy more. :lol:

I'm trying to just get characters from games I love and maybe some others.

I have Diddy Kong, Little Mac (might get rid of this one, don't care for little mac much) right now, and Ike, Mega Man, and Toon Link preordered.

I'm probably gonna pick up Fox, Mario, and Kirby soon. I hate the yellow stick on the Link amiibo so I'll wait on that one.

When Ness and Wario come out I will be all over them, no way I'm gonna miss out on Ness

I feel like I'm just gonna end up having every amiibo without noticing it :lol:

I think I'm gonna stand all my amiibo around my Club Nintendo Mario Bros diorama thingy, I feel like that would look nice lol.

Little Mac's card is just a little too dark compared to the others I think. I think the sculpts are all over the place as well. Marth and Samus look great on my shelf, but the simpler characters like Mac don't really look right next to them, let alone the most 'classic' characters.

I'm surprised almost everyone seems tolerant of the stands they're using to prop these up. I think they're terrible and am purposely avoiding those ones (easy for me though since I didn't grow up with most of these). Luigi looks like his crank got stuck in a block of ice. Just terrible. Captain Falcon and Fox look great but the stands are horrible. Need to shove a metal rod up their other leg not this slap dash thing they're doing.

On a separate Amiibo note: I've never played Kid Icarus. Why is his name Pit? I guess that's kind of like asking why someone's name is Jim or Steve, but it seems like a weird name for that character haha. It's a bad ass name though and for some strange reason I want the figure because of it (nice figure too though).

Not sure on the accuracy of this, but his japanese name 'Pitto' apparently derives from the Japanese name for Cupid - 'Kyuupitto'. I imagine the English name of Pit was just a romanization.

Same story I have always heard.
