I have a bad feeling that Duck Hunt and ROB will end up being scalper favorites seeing that other less front line 8/16bit guys have taken the beating too which sucks as I want both of them for my desk. At least I found PacMan a few weeks back.

I will be buying many ROBs and a few Duck Hunt. :twisted:

Pac-Man is common as dirt here. So if anyone wants one I can walk down to the store and get him.

There's been some manufacturer orders leaked for Villager, Wii Fit Trainer, Pit, Rosalina, Lucario, Ness, and some others. So, chances are they're getting resupplied to some degree. Not that it stops scalpers, but you got another shot.

It sounds like it's already happened.

Also, just to everyone, if you felt like you couldn't find anything before, be aware there are now entire internet news networks that track through manufacturer manifest and retailer purchase orders when and what amiibo are coming out and they have a lot of people following them.

It's kind of aggravating seeing people post piles of rare dupes being super elated. I don't think most of them are resellers, I think they want them as trades, but even still.

As someone who is casually interested in grabbing a few figures from my favorite franchises, the whole Amiibo supply situation has done nothing but piss me off.

Bingo. I see 3 of the 4 of the older ones I can't find without being scalped on those twitter images. I guess I'll start clicking gamestop.com when I'm bored again to see if a local shop gets one if I remember to. I'm still done putting an effort into it for a $13 desk toy. Hell I can't even find the newer one with Charizard, want that one since Pokemon Red was my first on Gameboy.

I want Wii Fit Trainer so bad.
Maybe now Nintendo will acknowledge Metroid has a fanbase?

Only problem with this is that no one has anything else equally rare to trade for them. So its kind of pointless.

Not necessarily, I see a lot of people trading a Wii Fit trainer for like a Pit and MetaKnight combo.

Trades don't seem to usually be one for one.
