    Only CeX in Newry stocks amiibo no GAME there now, one in Craigavon one in Lisburn and a fair few in Belfast one in Bangor too I believe mostly though they're reservation only for Amiibo if they do have any on the shelf it'll be few and far between.

    Belfast has a few spots Smithfield market and Cash Concertors can have a few gems I'll be going up at the end of the month to hunt for stuff.

    New amiibo out yesterday, anyone get them? Got all 4 for myself: Squirtle, Ivysaur, Link’s Awakening Link, and Snaaaaaaake. Top quality as always. And Link is very shiny and polished looking.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,191 ✭✭✭✭RobbingBandit


    Just link very disappointed with what he does but very intrigued to see it.

    Bloody travesty from Link's Awakening amiibo support on a whole worst since Xenoblade and Shulk


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,119 ✭✭✭✭sligeach


    More Super Smash Bros. series amiibo are on the way! Dark Samus and Richter Belmont amiibo join the battle on 17th January.

    Ive the Simon and Dark Zelda Pre Ordered since 20 Jun 2019, yet it's new news on Nintendo sites this week, strange.

    Anyways 15 Zelda amiibo arrived today from Nintendo UK. Sweet. Gave all 21 of them now boxed along with duplicate of my fav ones on display. Majoras mask one, toon links and BoTW ones all very cool

    Gave me a fright there when you said Dark Zelda, thought I'd missed that! I presume you meant Dark Samus :P.

    Got the Archer and Rider from BOTW myself as duplicates.

    Beats me, but the next 3 are all available on Amazon so I ordered them there.

    Yup dark Samus, face palm!!

    Archer is probably the coolest one, I got the large 4 figures one if it too on a whim and it was a great buy as it looks fab!

    All 24 Zeldas Whoop, 5 are behind others and 7 duplicates hiding top as well.

    Got Dark Samus and Richter today. Dark Samus is a thing of beauty, the colours almost have a surreal iridescent quality. Anyone else still collecting these? Looking forward to hearing announcements for the Smash Ultimate DLC fighters amiibo (well I do hope they get release dates confirmed for this year anyway).


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,225 ✭✭✭blockfighter


    Im being very subjective about what I buy. Currently only have about 5 or so but plan on getting a few more from different franchises to decorate my games room. Thinking of getting Ken, Pacman and Snake.
    All the amiibo I have are zelda related but I have sonic and Mario figurines from other manufacturers. So not gonna bother with their amiibo.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,225 ✭✭✭blockfighter


    Purchases made.
    Edit: tried putting up a photo but no joy. Got Ryu and Snake. £10 each. Free delivery. Happy out.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,191 ✭✭✭✭RobbingBandit


    Recently bought Chrom and Celica for €20 each they do very little in three houses :(


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,119 ✭✭✭✭sligeach


    Super Smash Bros Ultimate amiibo for DLC fighters Joker and Hero will be available starting 2nd October. amiibo have come a long way in quality since the first wave.

    Edit: NOE have announced that these amiibo will be available here earlier than the US, starting on 25th September.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,681 ✭✭✭Wolverine359

    Would anyone know where to pre-order the three new monster hunter amiibo and the mario/peach cat?

    Amazon cancelled my mario/peach cat pre order last week I presume over Brexit.

    Then I had to cancel the monster hunter pre order on nintendo.co.uk as parcel motel are closed and nintendo don't deliver directly to Ireland.

    Are there any alternatives?

    I reordered the Cat Mario and Cat Peach amiibos from Amazon, just slightly more expensive with the vat difference now. And the Magnamalo amiibo can be got by preordering the Monster Hunter Rise Collector’s Edition from GameStop (which I’ve noticed has gone up in price from €79.99 to €99.99 :().


  • Registered Users Posts: 5 Sen7877


    Personally, I am not interested in amiibos as they only give collectibles or optional benefits that help beat the game when you can do so without them, so I don't see a need to get them


  • Registered Users Posts: 641 ✭✭✭johnf26


    Byleth,Banjo and Kazooie and Terry Bogard amiibos up for pre-order on gamestop


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 734 ✭✭✭80s Synth Pop


    Cheers for that.

    If you spot anywhere taking preorders on the 2x other monster hunter amiibos Palamute and Palico please do post here :D

    I'm trying to order some on Nintendo UK Store. It won't let me put ROI as an address. I thought they shipped to Ireland? Anyone else had issues like this?

    There is no way to order from nintendo to Ireland according to their customer support team. I emailed them about this last week when I had to cancel all the preorders set to delivery to the now defunct parcel motel.

    That's so annoying. I was too late to send a message to their live chat team but I'll do so tomorrow.

    I think the only way to get it would be through Addresspal but their new delivery fee is like half the price of an amiibo. I'm probably going to end up with Gamestop, although I really don't want to!

    I

    I got to talk to them earlier today. They only deliver in the UK now and the Channel Islands. The questions on their help centre contradict one another. They claim to be Brexit-ready, saying that orders will not be impacted and will still be delivered to EU destinations. There is another question there that says that they only deliver physical products to the UK only, which is apparently the most recent update. They didn't know if the was an EU store or not - from what I researched yesterdy, this does not appear to be the case.

    If you had a uk address you could have ordered the 3x new monster hunter ones yesterday
    https://store.nintendo.co.uk/games/nintendo-switch/monster-hunter-rise.list

    Nothing on gamestop Ireland at the moment.


  • Registered Users Posts: 77 ✭✭narmst


    I've ordered Monster Hunter: Rise Collector's Edition from Gamestop.ie (and yes per prev post very annoying that it's gone up to €99 in Ireland - cheaper everywhere elser!) and I've ordered the other Monster Hunter Amiibos (Palamute / Palico) using Shipito. Shipito buys from US stores and re-ships but it can work out to be expensive.

    I'm wondering if anyone got a complete collection of Amiibo?

    Recently bought Qbby and Navirou/Nabiru to complete my collection. I've 196 physical and 6 on guaranteed pre-order.

    To my knowledge the only ones I don't have are those new Gold Monster Hunter rise Japan 7-eleven competition ones (not going to bother with those).

    Curious if anyone else has been as insane?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 734 ✭✭✭80s Synth Pop


    I embarrassed to say I've a full collection too (except the Jap gold competition ones).
    All are boxed except the Corrin P2. Still looking for a boxed one of that.

    Don't forget the normal and dark skylander amiibos.


  • Registered Users Posts: 77 ✭✭narmst

    I'm glad I'm not the only insane person.
    I made the decision day 1 not to keep them boxed. Personal choice and not disputing how nice they look in other collections boxed. But for me I wanted to see the figures and place them in a glass case. And I didn't have space for what's turned out to be 200 boxes. Anyway - the amount that have arrived (even from Nintendo UK) with squashed boxes would have meant a lot of re-ordering. I'm happy with my decision is the point.

    I've the 4 skylanders. Of the others the more challenging/expensive ones were Qbby, Nabiru/Navirou, megaman 11 gold and Amiibo Cereal because they all had to be imported.

    The three new monster hunter rise have been a bit frustrating. I ordered the big box MH Rise to get Magnamalo and ordered the two other ones from shipito in US as I didn't think that Nintendo UK would release them - then I found they were all on the UK site but too late to pick them up. Those three are going to end up being very expensive in the end.

    Lastly - Brexit is going to be a pain - I've had two orders from nintendo uk and both have been delayed and had customs charges. Where is everyone else ordering from in the EU which have reliable amiibo supplies? I don't really trust some of the Irish suppliers not to cancel orders and anyway Gamestop really charges a premium to Irish customers.

    Looks like amazon UK had it to preorder but not anymore.
    You can still preorder on German and Italian sites. Little cheaper from Italy

    Is everyone waiting in gamestop to list the 3x new monster hunter and the 2x new metroid?

    The games are up for preorder but no sign of the amiibo yet.

    id say we will be left waiting,they didnt get the other monster hunter ones apart from the one with the collectors edition of monster hunter.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 734 ✭✭✭80s Synth Pop


    From what I can see, the 3x new monster hunter amiibo are once again "my nintendo store" exclusives.

    I was able to grab he previous monster hunter ones there last time around. It looks like I've missed the boat on two of them (Ena and Tsukino)
    but you can still pre-order Razewing Ratha though https://www.nintendo.de/My-Nintendo-Store/Zubehor/Zubehor-1369896.html (use google translate and it ships to Ireland.)

    Keeping an eye on gamestop for the new metroid ones.


  • Registered Users Posts: 641 ✭✭✭johnf26


    New Metroid amiibos are on gamestop website now but says sold out,worth to keep an eye hope i didnt miss it.

    Got my order in yesterday but was OOS when going to post on here.

    I think same thing happened with Zelda Loftwing figure, it was put on site, went OOS, came back a couple of days after and now OOS for a while.
