Found 2 Foxes hidden behind Zelda at Fry's today.

I already have a Fox, but I picked one of them up anyway ~~because I'm a scalper who leaves 1 behind intentionally~~ because the boxes were in good condition, unlike my 1st Fox, whose box as you may know by now wasn't in the best condition

why do you care about the boxes, it isn't like these are going to be worth anything

Looks like Nintendo made an oops. Somebody got a few Wave 3s early.
And, while I'm here, I hereby declare myself the Furling of the Amiibo Megathread, considering half the stuff I post here is just pictures taken from reddit

willing to bet a penny ike gets discontinued

then aren't they rendered useless if they're in the box? or are you collecting more for profit

I want to have a collection of some of my favorite characters in the box, as well as an unboxed collection

I don't sell them for a profit and never will, every amiibo I buy is one I will keep

Is change.org going to fix anything? Probably not, but desperate times call for desperate measures.

also nintendo is changing Ike and Bowsers amiibo figures probably to make mass production easier

people who buy up tons of a certain amiibo then sell them for up to 10x the price online

they're why you can't have nice things

Does anyone know if they will produce more Marth amiibos or other rare ones?? I'm really not sure if I want to shell out $50 for an import.

According to a reddit Q&A with a fairly high-level Nintendo rep, the way amiibos will work is similar to the Disney Vault.

Quote from: Nintendo Rep

"As far as I know�yes. I'm constantly asked about certain figures being discontinued, and I've yet to receive that memo. From the way I understand it, it's going to be similar to the Disney Vault. Characters like the Wii Fit Trainer will come out, disappear, and be redistributed later on. I know certain retailers have removed some figures from their systems, but that is most likely because we haven't sent them any reorders they've asked for. This is Nintendo's first time dealing in toys themselves, so it should be expected that things will be rocky at first, and we're not producing the figures ourselves. Nintendo doesn't have it's own toy factory."

apparently some guy got butthurt about how there were a bunch of anime style characters so he bought $1000s worth of their amiibos just so no one could have them.
