Serebii Posted June 30, 2015 Posted June 30, 2015 Stock really seems to be improving. GAME and Toys R Us had all of last week's new wave and GAME had a craptonne of Little Mac.
Ronnie Posted June 30, 2015 Posted June 30, 2015 So all the hysterics about how people would never get the figures they wanted and how Nintendo would never restock them proved to be... all for nothing??
Mr-Paul Posted June 30, 2015 Posted June 30, 2015 So all the hysterics about how people would never get the figures they wanted and how Nintendo would never restock them proved to be... all for nothing?? Even though the situation appears to be getting better, doesn't mean the way the last 9 months has gone with amiibo is acceptable.
Ronnie Posted June 30, 2015 Posted June 30, 2015 More like the last 6-7 months, and no one is saying it's been acceptable. The criticism and complaints about the stock shortages has been endless and justified. All I was saying was those proclaiming they would never get to own the ones they wanted seem a little silly now.

But you have to think of the poor suckers who still can't get the amiibo they want for some reason. Like, say, a light-blue Yarn Yoshi, or a Shulk amiibo. In other words, what about meeeeeeeee!?
Guy Posted June 30, 2015 Posted June 30, 2015 I just hope Nintendo find a way to restock so the total tool who bought all 30 Ness amiibo at my local Smyths ends up losing most of his outlay and profit. They have a 1 character per customer rule now, but 30, what a greedy bastard.

You're right, but your post did come across a little "I told you so", which isn't really necessary. People were genuinely upset that they couldn't get what they wanted and were worried that they wouldn't be able to due to scalpers and low stock. I think it's unfair to call it all hysterics when the situation was so bad.

I think it's unfair to call it all hysterics when the situation was so bad. Issue is partly because people kept forgetting/ignoring the fact that these aren't discs that can be reprinted in a day. Production of these figures takes months and so restock plans take months

Hero-of-Time Posted July 1, 2015 Author Posted July 1, 2015 I got my mate addicted to these last week. I asked him to order a spare Little Mac for me from the Nintendo UK store ( in case my sealed Mac had a knakered box when it arrived ) but it turned out I didn't need it. He loved the look of it so much that he decided to keep it, rather than send it back. 4 days later and he has spent £150 on the things!
Sprout Posted July 1, 2015 Posted July 1, 2015 "Why so happy, King Dedede?" "I GOT A MONSTER TO CLAW THAT THERE KIRBEH!" "She doesn't seem interested."
Mr-Paul Posted July 1, 2015 Posted July 1, 2015 Saw (and used) the Chibi Robo amiibo in the flesh today. Really nice figure! Chunky and weighty, too!
Ashley Posted July 1, 2015 Posted July 1, 2015 I want that cabinet Sakurai had. Don't know if you've found some, but Muji do a range of acrylic stuff that could come in handy: http://www.muji.eu/pages/online.asp?Sec=9&Sub=39&PID=2431 http://www.muji.eu/pages/online.asp?Sec=9&Sub=39&PID=7464 Not quite as nice obviously, but £10 and £13 respectively.
Aneres11 Posted July 2, 2015 Posted July 2, 2015 I don't have any amiibo, but would like to maybe get some. I can just see it becoming an addiction though. Seems there's no point in just buying a few - you need to get them ALL! Do they even still do the non Smash ones? Those looked cool.
Cube Posted July 2, 2015 Posted July 2, 2015 I can just see it becoming an addiction though. Seems there's no point in just buying a few - you need to get them ALL! I'm not getting all of them. Just characters and figures I like. Well, I got Zelda to complete the Triforce (the Amiibo is fairly poor quality) and Mega Man because it's cool having all three third party ones (I haven't played any games, the Amiibo is really well made, though).
Phube Posted July 4, 2015 Posted July 4, 2015 It seems the latest production runs aren't up to standard... Apologies, if posted before, made me laugh today though!
Wii Posted July 4, 2015 Posted July 4, 2015 That's probably what would happen if SEGA ever make them.
Goafer Posted July 4, 2015 Posted July 4, 2015 That's probably what would happen if SEGA ever make them. On the up side they'd probably glitch through the packaging, so you could get them for free. I'm guessing that the rare Amiibo are less rare now that there's been restocks? I saw a couple of Little Macs in my local game, which I understood as being rare as rocking horse shit, but decided against buying one since I assumed they're no longer rare and I have no real interest in the actual figure.
Happenstance Posted July 4, 2015 Posted July 4, 2015 That's probably what would happen if SEGA ever make them. See thats an Amiibo I would actually buy. Along with the Lonk one.
