I did think about that, but I've got my twins' birthdays coming up and I can't justify spending on amiibo instead of them - I'd rather seem them happy and enjoying their day than me having a Villager or two in a box to trade months down the line
Cheers, £7.85 but still ordered at that price
I see Gameseek are now doing free delivery in the UK as well, which means all the £8.99 common ones are now good value on there as well
I'm still missing quite a few common ones such as Peach, Diddy Kong, Luigi, Yoshi and Samus, as i've been waiting to pick them up cheaper than the £10.99 RRP

They're good if you wanna make custom Amiibos too without spending too much money.
Not online. Your best bet is to check your local stores

I've only got one and they didn't get a single one. Damn it.

I've used them a few times and haven't had a problem with them
When I see how difficult it is to find Shulk and Dedede, I fear... I haven't been able to find one in stores, so I'm waiting for an online order... which hasn't shipped because they couldn't source a MK (supposedly, Shulk and Dedede are ready to ship and put on hold).
I hope they're *really* ready to ship and they won't lose them while waiting for a MK they'll probably never get, because if they fail me, I'm screwed T_T
Edit: Aaaand... I missed another french Wave 4 preorder (in a shop where I found many wave 1/2, but since they've skipped 3b and removed Amiibos from display, I wasn't expecting them to stock Wave 4)

Have faith, you will get them Amiibro.
I think I should get a second job on the time I spend scouting Amiibos so that I can pay scalpers prices. That would be a better way to get them...
No, really, 3b has been a nightmare, and I expect things to go worse.

I got my amiibo from Tesco today My Shulk and Dedede, Brian★'s Shulk, and another Shulk for a friend at work (sorry guys I would sell it to one of you but had already promised my friend!)
Turns out ordering from Tesco at 4am pays off!
I hope others manage to get the ones they need and I'll do my best to pass on stock alerts asap!

Well I'm feeling rather jealous right now and at the same time frightened for my Dedede who is now in Yodel's hands

Yep, we're fucked.
Even though I don't need them anymore, I set up stock alerts for the other Amiibos like Little Mac and Marth. I got a message for those too. So basically, all of the rare Amiibos have this e-mail.
No joke, this isn't good.
If you're looking to get Kirby and the Rainbow Curse, you can pre-order here for just over £24:

Use the code COMEGETSOME to get it for this price. Damn good price for a new release; and Amiibo compatible of course!

That's...well...that's Nintendo.
Maybe, but I don't know of we have a precedent yet. I seriously doubt it, though. Because Nintendo.

Is that too long to be the next OT title or what.
The whole thing gives me nostalgia for trying to get a Wii U January 2007 honestly.

So is Sonic turning into rare now? You can only get him at rrp on the Nintendo store.
Interesting. The rumors of a Shulk restock/print around March 6 seem to be true then.
I hope this means I will be able to get one

Collected my Dedede from our local Tesco this afternoon, so that's me back up-to-date and just waiting for my preorders on the upcoming waves over the next couple of months.
Interestingly, Nintendo appear to have changed the packaging materials used. Every other amiibo I have uses a very sturdy clear plastic for the box, but King Dedede was packaged in a thinner material that feels a bit cheaper. Dunno if it's just for this figure, part of an odd batch or whether it's cost-cutting for future releases, but it was noticeable and interesting.

Mine, including DeDeDe, are all the same. You must've received an odd one.

I'll trade you a (not mint) Little Mac or a Villager for your Shulk :B
sorry. That Shulk, is for collection. I'm collecting my fav characters. I'm so sorry.
Little surprised about the rarirty of the amiibo's this wave.
I was expecting MegaMan and Sonic to be pretty rare as they are 3rd party characters, MegaMan espicially as if we assume more amiibo's are made for a character if the game they're from is popular, MegaMan feels to have been abandoned for a while now, Sonic is more popular I'd say, though gamewise its constantly up and down I'd say, and they're both able to be bought from Nintendo Store still.
Shulk seems to be pretty rare, I was expecting him to be rare too, but I thought with Xenoblade Chronicles 3D coming they'd make more of him, maybe they still will later this month.
Happy to say I managed to get a Shulk, MegaMan and Sonic, so only amiibos left on my "list" to get are: Pacman, Lucina, Robin, Zero Suit Samus, Ganondorf, Falco, Dark Pit, Mewtwo (If they make one), Mii amiibo (Remember Miyamoto talking about custom mii amiibos, hope they do).
Palutena, ROB, and Olimar (If they added pikmin to that statue, I'd like it just for that, ha ha), are all on my maybe list... Even the ones in the above list may need to be taken off though due to potential money problems

Guessing part of the rarity are people importing + scalpers getting wind of their value.
Left to preorder are Duck Hunt Duo and Mr Game and Watch as musts (the I will trade you a Shulk/Sonic/Fit/Marth/Villager/Toon Link), with ROB, Ganondorf, ZSS and Olimar not far behind.
Yep
Something's weird
It's his face. The nose wasn't designed well and it looks like they even got the proportion wrong and the face tilt extra skewed. Maybe it will look better when pictured from a different angle.

He looks he's made of marizpan and that he belongs on a wedding cake.

Mmm getting to desperation levels here now for the Shulk Amiibo, might pull the trigger for one on eBay...
;-/
;-/
Many signs are pointing towards a restock or reprint sometime this week. I'm gonna wait one more week, if nothing happens I'll bite on ebay
I think it's the eyes, they're a bit too wide in comparison to the box render.
