Can't wait for amiibos to be discontinued?

[Tinkalila]

I know nintendo has been hyping up amiibos for months, and that they're gonna stay for years to come. But I can't help but perversely hope for them to be discontinued soon, because for once, I wanna own a discontinued collectible. Anyone else?

 

[oath2order]

What, you want all of them to be discontinued?

 

[daniduckyface]

They'll probably be around for a while as they're compatible with the new 3ds/ new 3ds xl and that hasn't even been given a release date for us living in the states. Not sure about anywhere else but i know japan and australia have it

I don't think any will be discontinued yet. Not after the first batch. They would be immensely stupid to discontinue figures like Villager that has proven to sell so well after just one batch of the things.


As for doing it 'so I feel special'...No. That's pretty selfish, especially with a product intended for children. "Little Timmy can't have an Amiibo because I wanted something special".

You'll no doubt own discontinued collectibles during your life anyway as you buy stuff and it gets discontinued. For all you know, Amiibo will be worthless in the future and nobody will really want them. It's not something you can really guarantee will be 'prized collectible'.


Let some people have a real chance at getting their hands on them first rather than the cluster f*** which was the initial release.

They've become another cash cow for them. Sit tight and wait for more Amiibos they don't appear to be going anywhere.

Lol this is like the third board where people have called OP selfish.

Well she kind of is...

Idk just my thoughts

She wished away the 3DS and Club Nintendo, now Amiibo. OP is a troll. Board closed.

You probably already have a discontinued collectible already though. VHS tapes, PSX/PS2 games, NES/N64 cartridges, GameCube, etc. What makes a plastic figure any more special?

Her avatar is kind of bothering me...

Hm, how?

I have managed to secure all 29 of the currently announced amiibos.

I found most of them on Nintendo UK's store and the final three, King Dedede, Meta Knight and Shulk, I had to buy from GAME.co.uk.

 

[Rasha]

....that's horrible IMO

 

[daniduckyface]

I don't own any amiibo atm because i don't play smash but i might pick up Kirby just cause he's so cute xD

Well...It kind of is selfish.


I'm sure if their favorite character Amiibo got discontinued before they had a chance to buy them, this thread would have an entirely different title.

Amiibos aren't going to be discontinued. People keep freaking out over it. They've been out now for like... A month? They wouldn't discontinue them after such a short time period. Marth, Villager, and Wii Fit Trainer are selling on eBay and Amazon for ridiculous amounts because they're sold out everywhere, yet if you look on some websites they are restocking these Amiibos or they will restock at a certain date. I just bought a Marth Amiibo for my friend for Christmas after it was restocked (twice) on Game.

This is pretty selfish lol. I still want a chance to buy my Shulk. But I'm getting Princess Peach for Christmas so.

"I hate these so they must obviously get rid of them because did I ever tell you that I hate these"

smh because you probably can't afford any and are moaning about it.

 

[cIementine]

Haven't they only been out for a few months??
Why would you want them to be discontinued? If you want something discontinued you can have my Sylvanian families school from 2007

To be fair, the topic isn't "get rid of them because I dislike them".


The topic is "get rid of them so I'm one of the special snowflakes that owns one"

 

[Hyoshido]

To be fair, the topic isn't "get rid of them because I dislike them".

But it gives off the impression similar to "hate" and "dislike" because they just want them gone.

If the OP wants to be special, they can buy one of the discontinued Amiibo's already or buy a Virtual Boy.

That is literally the entire TBT base. Like 99% of this entire website.
