Amiibos....collector urge growing...

RobbingBandit · 24-12-2014 11:25pm

Anyone in Dublin wants a Marth for €13.50 let me know. I have 1 only.

RobbingBandit · 24-12-2014 11:43pm

Sheik and Toon Link for me (for whatever Hyrule Warriors bonuses they offer), but the Ike looks pretty damn nice.

I didn't. I was just kidding, not even that funny tbh

.
I was semi agreeing with your comment about buying the more elusive ones, so as to not struggle at a later date if I decide to collect..

No, right now I do not own a single Amiibo. The ones due to arrive in the first week in January I've promised to a friend, for either cost price, or in exchange for a game of similar value.
If there had been a bit of a bigger gap between waves, and some weren't so noticeably hard to get, I would've kept going.

I just see a load of "entrepeneurs" :mad: (Aššhats is another name for them), buying up a load of them to sell at a higher price. I'll never buy from one of those..

All that aside,

Merry Christmas Everyone!

Now, back to Steamworld dig..

Kinda thought I was done but that Bowzer....hmmm

CiDeRmAn · 25-12-2014 5:57pm

I just got Kirby, but I've seen Marth around.
I must pick up the Villager at some point.

Ace Attorney · 25-12-2014 6:02pm

Every time i look at this thread i want amiibos more and more ive bought link and i thought that was that but there will be more brought!!!

RobbingBandit · 25-12-2014 11:39pm

Bought a Link myself yesterday, going to open it up paint it red and glue the box back up then sell it as a one of a kind, muah ha ha ha ha.

Gotta start living up to my username and all.

Wolverine359 · 26-12-2014 2:16am

Yeah I already snapped off Princess Peaches legs, carefully resealed the box, and the current bid on eBay is over 3 grand.

Kinda feel bad but the people bidding against each other are probably ridiculously wealthy anyway and don't know what to do with their money, so I see myself as a Robin Hood type-figure, in a Nintendo accessory-obsessed sphere. Or maybe I'm just as delusional. Ah whatevs, it pays the bills.

:pac:

CiDeRmAn · 26-12-2014 9:21am

My Kirby looks so good in his packaging it seems unthinkable to open it and allow him to be mauled by nose pickers, ar$e scratchers and groinal manipulators, if I do open it I'll just have to keep a box of cleanser on hand, to give him a clean!

It's just healthy to give the little pink fella a wipe every now and then.....

Hey,
Less of the little.
I prefer "ample" myself....

CiDeRmAn · 26-12-2014 5:03pm

Here's a question though.
I have Mario there, I used him in MK8 on purchase and got the natty Mii suit, which is nice.
I haven't used it since.
Popped in SSB WiiU and it keeps telling me to do something with the Amiibo to use it.
What gives?

You have to go into games and more and register under the amiibo option there

Friend of mine looking for Villager and Wii Fit Trainer amiibos, not sure where to post but he's looking to swap for Marth(s).
Attached image is the (hopefully working) OP
If needs to be moved or deleted just lemme know.

OH God... I'm going to be in that shopping centre out near the hospital/ motorway (two different landmarks, its limerick not mad max...) tomorrow.... I don't even like those Amiibos... How much is cost? And are you anywhere near the crescent? No wait I don't need to do this... How is something so pointless so compelling?

Hello! I'm after both - are you interested in a trade or just looking to sell? I can get plenty of Marths where I am.

Hi there, sorry but I have Marth. Really only looking for Little Mac now sorry! Very happy to post if you pay reg postage? All at cost.

To confirm, you're the guy that was mentioned from Twitter earlier?

Gamestop in that shooing centre had Villager for certain yesterday. Give them a call to hold it for you. They also had Marth, Zelda and Pit too.

CiDeRmAn · 27-12-2014 11:51am

Villager was in Gamestop in Swords yesterday.

Not anymore, I succumbed to the madness and bought it, don't know why at all, not even sure what I'm going to play it with, Super Smash Bros is cool but I've got Mario for that, Kirby and Villager are just going to stay in the plastic for a while yet

eoghanie · 29-12-2014 1:15am

Have a spare Link and spare Little Mac still, PM if anyone needs them.

Captain Hman · 29-12-2014 5:07am

are the amiibos selling very poorly in Ireland ? because the marth, villager and wii fit trainer amiibos are selling
for over 60 dollars on ebay even though they're around 17 euro each in gamestop

Gamestop got alot of those figures in later deliveries.

GameStop price: €16.99 each.

I caved and brought mario and luigi, gonna buy bowser and gannondorf when they come out, hopefully not for a while yet :-P

All mine are still in the boxes until I find out what else they do besides smash, mk8 and hyrule.

Man they take up a lot of space!

So the guy on adverts trying to sell Marth WFT and Villager for 35 each has reduced the price to 25 each and removed my comment and 'Metroids' comment AND blocked us from commenting. God I hope no one buys them from him, they are in stock in gamestop and Argos will get more just like yesterday.

Ugh.

Those METROID comments were mine. I despise scalpers like that and the bare face lies told in their ad description. I think adverts removed the ad. At any rate it's not up anymore. amiibo aren't blazing a trail here in Ireland unlike other countries. The RRP for amiibo is €12 but Ireland being Ireland and Gamestop being Gamestop, it's the never ending cycle of being ripped off.

readyletsgo · 30-12-2014 3:40pm

Jaysus, this is gonna turn into a problem lol. I have 9 now.
Zelda, link, Captain falcon, villager, Marth, WFT, pikachu, samus and Fox.

Still all in their boxes until I find out what they do besides just giving mii clothes in mk8, training up on smash or getting the spinner in HW.

Have pit, diddy, Luigi, yoshi and DK on reserve in Argos to collect tomorrow. Defo getting pit and one other, but can't decide just yet.

Neat to have.

Tomo.Murphy · 30-12-2014 3:48pm

That's about all they do as far as I know (well, for now anyway). Only 3 are useable in whatever Kirby game is on the way (Kirby, Meta Knight and one other), I believe only Yoshi is useable in Wooly World and they haven't announced if they're adding them to Captain Toad or what they'll do in it.

sligeach · 30-12-2014 4:31pm

They have said they'll be used in Captain Toad but it really is bizarre how Nintendo go about business. The game is out and they still haven't said what they'll do in the game. All the other implementation in games is uninspired and underwhelming to say the least. Then there's the awful posts attached to some characters and botched plastic surgery facelifts.

I don't think the game is Officially out until the 2nd. That maybe why.

No, sadly that's not it. Besides it was out in other regions over a month ago and they're still waiting for amiibo support. It's all a bit slapdash really. It's just a quick revnue generator but no real thought has been put into it.

Corholio · 30-12-2014 8:08pm

The amiibo's are doing some monstrous numbers in the US. Outselling Skylanders and on a par with Disney Infinity at Best Buy.

Is little Mac still available? I've managed to source the rest of them from here and there .. argos still have both villager and WFT if you search different stores .. I'm trying to avoid getting Little Mac on ebay ..

OwaynOTT · 31-12-2014 1:12pm

Massive delivery for Amazon.de left for me at home home today. I wonder what's in it

makehimanoffer · 02-01-2015 1:10am

From my point of view there MUST be some serious scalping going on.
I didn't want the wii fit trainer, villager or marth until I heard they were discontinued.

But also I've found it very difficult to get them around the christmas time for myself due to other priorities.
I have most of the ones I want (except kirby and LITTLE MAC) If anyone happens to get a spare little mac that they'd sell at the reasonable amiibo price I'll buy it.

Punchout is legit my favourite ever game so it's sort of a must for me.

Though I've taken my 6 out of the box, because I wanna use them and some of them are REALLY nice (bit disappointed with the Link one, but Peach and Pikachu are class).

Anyways, Little Mac, let me know. Cheers.

Corholio · 02-01-2015 2:19pm

I have a spare Marth if anyone wants it, at Argos price plus small postage.
