So I went along to a Nintendo event today, all I have to say is that the Animal Crossing Amiibo sure are pretty...

The later Smash Bros. series ones (Duck Hunt Dog and Game & Watch in particular) are also fantastic, Nintendo is really knocking it out of the park with the quality of these figures now.

@octoman2611: I really agree with you there. I can't wait to (try to) get Game and Watch and R.O.B, if possible.

I just got Marth in the mail which makes 29 amiibo.

Anyone got any good amiibo display ideas? Stands, DIY, anything? I have 43 amiibo, and more to come.

Considering I've only been collecting for 3 months, I think I've done ok.. Meta Knight and Lucario on the way.. also need to deal with my display issue.. not just for amiibos lol

@GatheredTitan: GameStop sticker = why I don't shop there anymore (plus the terrible employees)

@DefHalan: I've actually taken the stickers off since I took this photo haha.. thought it would mess up the box but they came off pretty easy.. 3 GameStop stores in my location and most of the employees are nice, but I know what u mean.. I've dealt with some really awful ones

...All of my Gamestops are perfectly fine...so, I dunno. o.o

Does anyone know where I could order something like this glass stand in the picture? Or just something similar? I've seen custom shelves and whatnot but I want something like this.

This is my office at work, I only keep the Mario Party amiibos there except for Rosalina and she looks a little disproportioned with the others because she's supposed to be taller and bigger than Mario and Peach. Also have the Bowser brats, some Yoshi eggs, a star, and a Bullet Bill.

I walked next door to put some money down on a reservation for Super Mario Maker. I did that and ended up getting a reservation for the Amiibo Retro 3 Pack (Duck Hunt, R.O.B., Mr. Game & Watch).

And here I was thinking my Amiibo huntin' days were behind me.

They are selling them in a three pack? To be honest, out of the three I would only like Duck Hunt. Never felt a connection to Mr. G&W or ROB. I definitely need Mega Man though. I am sort of easing down on my amiibo craze, partly because I do not have room to display all of them nicely if I got every single one so from now on I will only be limiting it to characters I really like.

@bezerker99: you are never truly done with amiibo

I got Gannondorf today. Gotta say, he is one of the best looking amiibos. I like how big and heavy he is and his cape looks really detailed too.

Dr. Mario just came in the mail today.

Updated home display. I got all the Fire Emblem characters except for Robin. Gotta say, Ike doesn't look nearly as bad in person as I thought he would judging from pictures.

I still have Bowser Jr, Palutena, Charizard and Zero Suit Samus coming in the mail. I am really trying to limit which ones I buy now because the display is going to look cluttered and I am running out of options on how to display them on the TV stand nicely.

This may be weird but am I the only one guilty of taking a sniff on them when I take them out of the box? The fresh smell of the plastic smells good to me... I also enjoy the smell of gasoline, bleach and nail polish so I guess I'm just weird.

You know sniffing gasoline is harmful for you right... lol

I have currently released amiibo except for the Splatoon 3-pack and Gold and Silver Mario (due to B.S. retail exclusivity in Australia and the impossibility to pre-order; so these will be the first that I'll probably have to acquire via scalpers), so I've been really lucky so far. The Splatoon 3-pack is still available in relative abundance so I won't be bothering with that until I return to Australia (I'm in Turkey ATM, so I'm having to get all of my new release amiibo home delivered). I don't know what I'm going to do about the Animal Crossing cards though. If I can buy them in a complete retailer's box, I'll consider it, but I won't be buying well over $200 worth of blind packs just to complete my collection (they cost AU$5 and include only 3 cards, compared to US$6 in the U.S. for 6 cards, which, exchange rate considered, is still a better deal than buying them locally, unless retailers sell them for $4 or less per pack).

I won't bother with the Skylanders Bowser/Donkey Kong amiibo though (these will be the first amiibo that I won't be buying). That kind of price-gouging, with no option to purchase the dark versions of the figurines separately, coupled with the grotesque Skylanders aesthetic, has put me off. I've also drawn the line at, for example, a Sonic the Hedgehog range of amiibo. The Smash Collection Sonic is fine, but I won't buy a whole series of Sonic characters. It's not a franchise that I have any remaining fondness for considering SEGA's treatment of it.

Obviously... I never said I place my face inches between a nozzle or spilled gasoline and inhale. Anyone can smell it fine when you drive to a gas station.
