Wii/U Amiibo Discussion Thread - Heavy Breathing Inside

[Dannnnnnnnnn]

Hi all,

The Amiibo craze is becoming housed in a number of threads recently and we'd like to attempt to funnel the majority of the discussion into one thread to ensure those that are interested in the consoles/games themselves aren't overwhelmed by pages of Amiibo discussion. So, here's a thread for all those Amiibo lovers out there. Amiibo discussion specific to certain games is still welcomed within those threads, however the more general collection discussion should be directed here.

We realise that the line is a little blurred as to what goes where, however, we would like to trial this and see how it goes. Any questions, let us know.

Cheers,
VG Mod Team

If we can have individual game threads, an individual accessory thread that gets so much attention (87% from me) is fair enough.

That being said ... I'm hoping there WILL be a limit. The novelty will wear itself thin on me eventually. At least, if they don't branch out to enough first-party franchises that don't involve Mario.

I'm purely in it for the collecting side of things so this thread is fine for me. LCynic, you're my man if you see any rare ones tag me here please

Went to KMart Northland today, advertised price was $69. I'm calling shenanigans.

Thats even more than EB EB have it for 49.

If they increase astronomically in value you've got your superannuation sorted.

I collect a whole heap of shit. My gaming related collection is immense.

Hate to break it to you, but there won't really be rare ones in the long term, all are being restocked eventually It's why there's been more of Villager, Wii Fit Trainer, Marth etc. in stores lately.

Personally I just buy the Fire Emblem ones, so in theory 2 more to get (Ike and Roy) unless they decide to someday stop shunning my beloved Ephraim.. Seriously no love for the lance or axe wielders, there should be Hector and Ephraim to balance out the triangle!
