Nintendo Amiibo Frustrations!

I'd like to buy amiibos but unfortunately i dont have the $$$$ lmao but anyway it really pisses me off when people hoard amiibos of the same character like... why ya gotta buy 3 of the same character.. give others a chance man...
 
nintendo:*makes amiibo*
amiibo:*sells out literally instantly*
nintendo:wow that one was popular
nintendo:guess we better not make any more of it ever again
 
I've manage to get everyone I want thanks to friends who basically stalk the net for the moment things go available, that and the fact that me and 2 friends in different states basically grab extra of amiibos to send to each other if we missed some.
Networking ftw
 
In my Ceramics class , we have to make a sculpture relating to a world problem.

I chose the amiibo supply as my world problem. And I'm sticking with it the whole way through.
 
Eb Games Canada got their shipment of Rosalina Amiibos today around Noon, all stores are now sold out and have been for awhile... I just hope I can catch her at my only local store (Walmart) right when they get the shipment. *sigh*

When I went to buy the rosalina amiibo some lady wanted to but five of them -.-
 
Amiibos are a very hot item for Nintendo right now? Why are they having some amiibos in limited supply? seriously!
 
My husband is a store manager at a large toy retail chain and he says between the kids who work in the store and people who stake out at 6am, a lot of amiibo figures are insanely hard to get. He grabs tons of them whenever he gets a chance since he oversees the shipments in early morning.
 
I could say the same freaking thing about the Gamecube Controller Adapters.

Nintendo really needs to get into the supply and demand stuff.
 
I went to a Toys R Us today in Montr?al, Qu?bec. I walked in and of all the new wave 3 amiibos, only the Bowser figurine was still on sale. And, there was only 1 ! So I took it to the cashier who told me they had received the wave 3 amiibos only the day before. They only had 20 Lucario, 4 Rosalina, 4 Toon Link, 6 Shiek, but 42 Bowsers. 24 hours later, I had just grabbed the last Bowser...

Then I went across the street and looked in the EB Games and they already had sold out of all the wave 3 figurines. I then ran to the Best Buy where they had a dozen Bowser figurines and 1 Shiek. I grabbed that one and one Kirby which I hadn't seen in a while and hadn't bought before...

On the day of release of the amiibos, back in November, I was looking for the Villager and the Wii Fit Trainer and got them from a Target. I should have bought Marth at that time, but I wasn't interested. Then when Wave 2 released, I grabbed a Little Mac from the EB Games the day it got out. I pre ordered the Toon Link figurine, and Toad from the Super Mario line.

Some of these figurines I've never seen on sale (and I had 5 stores selling these figurines at roughly 50 meters from one another : Target, EB Games, Archambault, Bestbuy and Toys R Us): Pit, for example, Shulk or Captain Falcon.

Hopefully they reprint villager and wii fit trainer because I want those two if not I'm forced to buy them online ;-;
 
Walmart still doesn't have Wave 3 in yet come on guys get it together!
 
Just a heads up for people in the UK incase they don't know, Amazon have Wario and Charizard amiibos available for pre-order, their current release date is the 24th of April, but that'll probably change

I might consider buying Charizard but from wave 4 I want robin and Lucina mostly along with peach and toad from mario party amiibo set

Thanks! :) I have already got pre-orders for the complete Super Mario Collection amiibo and the complete fifth wave coming out on April 24th. ;)
 
I would like the figures that were shown at E3. Amiibo are cool and all, but I don't think they really look that good with all that plastic sticking out from their crotch. And more functionality would be nice, since their basically glorified DLC for most games :/

i dont mind he piece of plastic tbh (like i dont love them, but i dont hate them either), the thing that i hate more is that they just threw in random colors?? idfk why links is yellow, and fox/pit have blue? just keep them all clear wtf
