VsPhoenix Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 Looks like the silver and gold Mario amiibo will be making it outside of America. Nintendo Australia have announced them as retailer exclusives. Two new amiibo are coming to Australia and New Zealand, with Mario – Silver Edition amiibo and Mario – Gold Edition amiibo set to arrive in the coming months in limited quantities. Mario – Silver Edition amiibo will be available exclusive to EB Games launching 30th May, and Mario – Gold Edition amiibo will be exclusive to Target stores with more details to be announced soon – both figures will have a suggested retail price of AU$17.95. source Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Serebii Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 A limited number of copies of Code Name S.T.E.A.M. are now available along with select Fire Emblem amiibo – each of which unlocks a character to play in the game. http://store.nintendo.co.uk/nintendo-3ds/code-name-steam.list?utm_source=facebook&utm_medium=amiibo&utm_campaign=codenamesteam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So amiibo that are sold out in the amiibo section of the Nintendo Store, suddenly aren't sold out if you buy 'em with Code Name S.T.E.A.M., ey?

Pestneb Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 it's not a terrible business model though, at least scalpers need to buy a copy of the game too, so it supports game development, and means they virtually increase shelf space (on ebay) for the game. If they protect amiibo like that a bit more it will reduce scalping. Of course I see how it sucks for collectors and completionists too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wii Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 Amiibo News: Villager Reprint Comparison: Unboxing and General Impressions The reprint I think definitely looks better. They may change up some of the other characters. Marth we know they've already improved as well. Who needs platic surgery most now? Peach? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S.C.G Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 Just a heads-up, I registered for stock alerts on Little Mac for Tesco Direct and they got some in at 7am this morning, all gone now of course - only just got up - but I just thought it would be of interest to anyone still after him, @Hero\-of\-Time perhaps? For what it's worth, had I managed to get any I was planning on offering them up on here for Nintendo's retail price (£10.99) plus postage but alas, it was not to be... I've registered for stock alerts again though just in case any more come in, but potential restocks after nothing for months has got to be a good sign. : peace: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guy Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 Picked up a new design Villager in Japan yesterday. So happy to have a figure that finally resembles the character art. Also makes the original a lot more desirable for the alt. paint application. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'd have to replace some of the football clubs with the various amiibo's, but yeah, that's pretty spot on. Aaand it's gone Oh well, so much for the stock issues. That was fun.
