Topic: amiibo Collection

I own 2. Palutena because Toys R Us had a bunch for $2, and Player 2 Bayonetta because I love her.

I myself went all wild and got all the Amiibo collections list and some Monster Hunter JPN Amiibo. The only one left is cuby Amiibo JPN otherwise I got everything Amiibo under the sun now.
I used this site to find what Amiibo I am missing and that is how I did my collection. I didn't however get the Skylander versions and only some of the Amiibo cards but probably not all.

Not many for me but I'm a casual buyer who just picks up those characters I'm a fan of. The collection below may betray my favourite game series though!

Samus Aran (Smash series)
Samus Aran (Metroid series)
Metroid
Zero Suit Samus
Yoshi (Mario series)
Yarn Yoshi
Chibi-robo
Captain Olimar
Detective Pikachu
Fox
Mr Game & Watch
Meta Knight

I only started collecting recently, with just over 30. I started from most recent and worked my way back the best I could, while grabbing any "deals" I seen on the way.

Annoyed that I'm in the UK for the Mega Man 11 release, so will have a torrid time trying to get that and even more annoyed at the Dark Souls Amiibo being harder to find now they've changed the date.

I will just try my luck on release day.

Well with the upcoming SSB Switch they are the Amiibo are slowly dripping out so look for them from GameStop, BestBuy, Amazon, or other online retailers. Otherwise if you find them cheap on eBay get it otherwise as the December 7 SSB release closes in they most likely will spike in prices.

Found a Smash Bros. series Pac-Man amiibo and a Super Mario. Series Mario amiibo recently.

And finally broke down and bought the Super Mario. Bowser Amiibo and Smash Bros. Inkling Amiibo off of Nintendo's website.

I hope they eventually re-release Bowser Jr. cause i'm weary to buy them off of third party's from Amazon & the like.

Hi,
I bought an amiibo to my partner "praise the sun" which come with post.
On the way the box got damaged. She is so sad now
I tried to scan the pics to print, but the damage can visible.
I tried to find good quality pic to print, but can't.
Where can I found the box front and back, to print and put on a cardboard to fix the box?

So how many on here got the 3 Amiibos for Feb 15 release bought all three or choose different combo to buy from them?

I got preordered:
Piranha Plant
King K. Rool
Ice Climbers

Only because I collect them but I do like the Amiibos they hold their values more so then the games. And I think if you have the complete collection for that Series they have more value.

@lanszelot can somebody help for the previous question?

Did the Amiibo get damaged? Is so your choices are to contact whom you bought it from and if Gamestop then you need to contact them. But if bought through seller other than GameStop then your rights are limited to what you can do.

@SwitchForce
Amiibo didn't get damage, only the box. This is why ask that 2 pictures, because I print again, and that is ok. I can't find anywhere the back. Mine is damaged and when I scanned it the damage still there. If somebody have same amiibo, and scan the back, or somebody know a site where I can found that picture....

@lanszelot Have you tried to contact Nintendo support and ask them as well?

@SwitchForce I got an email from Nintendo today stating that all three of the new Amiibos (Piranha Plant, Ice Climbers and King K. Rool) have shipped and are expected to arrive tomorrow or Saturday.

@zitpig and some of the rest got pre-order for pickup as well so most aren't worried about their arrival.

@SwitchForce - It was just a heads up to say that they are now available (and shipping for those that are having them sent).

Well done on your collection.

If you really want everything (skylanders aside) you'll need the gold Megaman as well as the EU/Aus version on Gold Mario and the Australian version of Silver Mario.
Personally I didn't bother with gold Megaman as it never came in it's own box and I'm, an in box collector.

With the gold/silver Marios, the amiibo are the same but the boxes are actually quite different. I bought the two Australian versions (being Australian myself) and imported the US versions. It's more than just a few numbers different on the boxes (like US vs EU/Aus Smash Bros amiibo boxes). Sure some people will not care for those box only differences but for those who do care they are out there.

I would say the Australian Silver Mario is probably the rarest Amiibo in existance. It was store exclusive, to our Target and there was no online pre-orders. Also not also available in Europe like the Gold Mario. You got there early on the day and waited in line before the store opened up or you missed out. At my local target I was there about an hour early and I was far from the begin of the line. I managed to get one of the last Silver Marios they had.

If you want photos to see the differences NA vs EU/Aus for the Gold/SIlver Marios I can dig them out of the large box I have them in and take the photos for you.

@SwitchForce
Hi,
Could you please scan to me the back of the Dark Souls amiibo box?

@lanszelot that could be tricky here how do you plan to get it since they don't allow image posting on here?

@the8thark I know getting the sets was tricky but some I had to go eBay to get a few of them but prices weren't Scalping prices since no one was looking for them. The only exception was some rare one but I only paid 2x what it cost so I could live with that. But this was all before the rush of upcoming SSB Switch. At that point all Amiibo go scarce and expensive maybe not all of them but people started looking more. I like how they re-released the Amiibo and that's all the better for consumers looking for them or to help collectors complete the set.

@SwitchForce

Have you tried your online trading posts? Places like Craigslist in the US or Gumtree in Australia. Not sure what the UK equivelant is. That's what I did to get some of the early ones that released before I started collecting them all. The prices I paid were not all that bad.

Still I agree with you quite tricky to get some of them.
I also agree re-releasing the SSB amiibo for SSBU was a great idea. That might have tipped a few on the fence about getting SSBU, just over the fence so they bought SSBU. With 12m plus sales of SSBU I'm pretty sure many of those amiibo sold.

I have noticed store shelves here at least are dedicating much less shelve space to amiibo now. But they still have the new release ones there, that are not pre-order sold out that is. I just pre-order them these days when they are announced instore.

For me, I think the only one I paid 2x for was the US gold Mario. That was impossible to find here at the regular price. Kind of obvious as it was an import only. The Aus/EU gold Amiibo for a while was not too hard to get here so most got that. Only a specific few, like myself wanted both versions.

I will say though the Monster Hunter Amiibo did cost me more but that was due to shipping from Amazon Japan. I try to collect all the EU/Aus versions but those plus a few specific others like the 3rd party ones (Shovel Knight, Loot Goblin, Dark Souls etc etc) were just the US versions imported here. Still available in stores here though.

Random question.

Are you an inbox collector or a free the amiibo collector?
I am an in box collector but not an NIB collector. By that I mean I often cut out the bottomof the boxes so I can remove the anti NFC card so I can scan the amiibo I want to use while still in the box. I just really like the box art, the front and back is done so well.
That's one reason why I didn't bother with Starlink, apart from the figures being totally different, the back of their boxes is really disappointing. Not very colourful or interesting.

I hope you can get all the ones you are missing.
