imo you're making a mistake if you're buying amiibo and not unboxing them

Yeah, only hardcore collectors should keep them in a box. I'm not one, plus I only bought my favourite characters (Pikachu, Yoshi, and Rosalina) so I just have a couple and I also have a Wii U (got it with the help of my Christmas money on Boxing Day), and I actually use them for their purpose in games on Wii U! Sure they look nice and double as cute figures, but their use with games (which will increase in the future is the best.

I am 99% sure JasonBurrows is what you'd call a "hardcore collector"

Everyone in Wave Three minus Bowser, Toon Link, and Shiek will definitely be rare/"unicorn" status. Thanks Nintendo!

I imagine Wave 4 will be the same if retailer exclusive bull**** is continued, not to mention no limits put into place to prevent the massive ass scale of scalpers we've had with Wave 3. If some **** like Mario the Plumber can seriously get 14 shipments of Rosalina, something is seriously wrong with how this is being done in NA.

I'm still going with the core problem being one-print runs, which just create artificial demand.

I don't expect ones like WFT to stay around as long or even sell as much as Mario, but they really should just have it be time limited, as opposed to print limited.

So basically have less "popular" characters have a printing period that lasts about 3 months or so (at least 3 months seems like the perfect timeframe to me, not too long or too short), with MAYBE one final batch afterwards to fulfill any remaining orders.

I am 100% sure that I totally agree with you there. XD

I am having two of these delivered to me by Friday.

why the christ do you have two

It could be a very hard to find item eventually and I want to make sure that I have one that I can sell on at a later date.
But unlike scalpers, I would probably not even sell the second on at all.

At least scalpers share...
