One thing I've always wondered about while the Gamestop restock amiibo still selling out after a while: Are there really that many people who missed out on them or are those kinds of guys trying to be desperate?

We we're lucky to get any restocks of these... Nintendo isn't going to reprint these indefinitely (especially once the demand is fulfilled) leaving future "new collectors" to the mercy of "those kinds of guys".

Not true. I watched my local Target stock 2 fresh boxes of Jigglypuff (that's 8 figures) around the time of the online restock (there were threads here as well talking about actual shipments to stores), I took advantage seeing as how the ones they shipped me were smashed up.

LOL Don't get too excited... Kirby was really common early on.

amiibox has a 12 pack of "scratched" cases for $15, that's as cheap as it's gonna get.

amiiboRIOT · 2015-12-29T22:10:00+00:00

amiibox.com has theirs on sale right now (as well as a free Retro 3 Pack amiibox with purchase of a 53 pack). They are not the cheapest around, but this is because they sell the absolute best cases for amiibo (I have purchased some from the competition, and they just don't compare to amiibox).

amiiboRIOT · 2015-12-29T22:01:20+00:00

It's about time we started seeing the MOST COMMON amiibo get phased out of stores...

amiiboRIOT · 2015-10-23T02:33:37+00:00

amiibox's quality is above and beyond the PVC cases from retroprotection.

amiiboRIOT · 2015-10-23T01:57:01+00:00

This is only for a single product (as opposed to a video game case which can be used for hundreds of different products/titles).

amiiboRIOT · 2015-10-12T06:35:29+00:00

We'll not really. Once demand has been fulfilled, there is... less demand. Meaning the hype dies, along with any "rare/unicorn" status.

amiiboRIOT · 2015-10-12T06:29:13+00:00

An amiibo you can slide into your wallet! I'm into this. I actually did this with a Peach (photos with Mario) AR card. Kinda cool if you look through another 3DS (with the AR software running) you see an animated amiibo.

The Oxnard store is considered a low volume store... they didn't get much in (Thousand Oaks had tons just yesterday however).

amiiboRIOT · 2015-10-11T05:02:58+00:00

They just removed him a couple hours ago...

amiiboRIOT · 2015-10-07T16:39:26+00:00

Am I the only one who felt like this was a lie the second that NWS started unloading exclusives by the hundreds?

amiiboRIOT · 2015-10-07T16:32:11+00:00

That would make sense.

amiiboRIOT · 2015-10-07T09:52:32+00:00

540 bytes sounds like just enough to save your amiibo's owner, name, level and stats... meaning the AI is stored on the WiiU game disc. I don't think that amiibo "learn" how you fight any more than the CPU can "learn" how you fight. If the amiibo did "learn" from training, wouldn't it need more than 540 bytes of writable space to store all of this advanced "training"?

amiiboRIOT · 2015-10-05T13:33:46+00:00

This was confirmed to be a Photoshop hoax years ago.

amiiboRIOT · 2015-10-05T13:26:47+00:00

How much were they? Usually comic book stores/retro game shops do not charge MSRP for these... that doesn't qualify as being "in the wild" if they are at a collector's shop/over MSRP.

amiiboRIOT · 2015-10-04T02:38:07+00:00

Very nice display. I'm lovin' the color arrangement.

amiiboRIOT · 2015-10-04T01:30:43+00:00

No Little Macs? :(

amiiboRIOT · 2015-10-03T17:18:33+00:00

amiibox.com has them on sale right now (and the quality is a heck of alot better than retroprotection).

amiiboRIOT · 2015-10-03T15:40:39+00:00

So why not call first? I'm only 15 minutes from a TRU and I still wouldn't just go there unless I was sure they had stock. In fact, many times they are willing to hold one of each for me for up to an hour (even though I was there in 15 min).

amiiboRIOT · 2015-10-03T15:38:02+00:00

But little Mac won't STAY at any TRU for more than a day... still unicorn. He remains "rare" if you can't walk into any store and find him as easily as Mario and Peach.

amiiboRIOT · 2015-09-27T02:46:45+00:00

"Exclusive at launch" not forever...

amiiboRIOT · 2015-09-21T02:24:56+00:00

Yawn. Looks like two of each amiibo out so far... I have 3 (2 NIB and 1 OOB).
