If I've learned anything from Beanie Babies, Amiibos will be worthless in 10 years.
I agree for the most part. Gold Mario will be the exception where you'll see it appear on one of those antiques shows and it'll end up bringing back bad memories of the dark days of 2015
@Ryno no way. And get dust on them? LOL In fact, I put some of my amiibo that I opened back in their box and STAPLED the box. http://i.imgur.com/7hxZGGL.jpg
LOLOL
I like, just posted that picture. On this very page.
Also it's called dusting. Personally I find the boxes cumbersome and clunky-looking.
I could argue there's also the dust-in-hard-places-to-reach, but I don't think the amiibo have many of those, do they?
Still, them being in the box is a very protective means of preventing dust from gathering. Besides, I only use 4 amiibo out of the 10 I currently have, so it's really no big deal. My brothers and I MIGHT open the boxes sooner or later but right now, 6 of my amiibos are staying right in their box.
And the image? Well, it wont put more stress on anyone's internet, will it?

Wish I knew that 16 years ago. I still have a toy box full of them from when I collected them as a kid. Then again I played with most of them and only a small amount were the "official" Ty, the rest I remember buying from 99 cents stores and McDonald's.
A dying animal struggles, thrashes and howls in protest as its life torn from it. To see this in action, watch Animal Planet. The same thing happens when a video game is or isn't released. To see this in action, stay here.

I'm still looking for Mega Man. He's nowhere to be found.
That's why I was considering what I did. He was one of the few I was particularly interested in a ways back but the stock stuff made me kinda apathetic towards amiibo as a whole.
I was just at GameStop a minute ago because my brother wanted to go there to check for some PS4 game and I saw him playing the Smash Bros Wii U demo they had and went over and noticed there were 2 mega man amiibo in stock. I thought about it a sec and then this guy comes in and asks for one of them(and a couple other different) for his son and I was like ah, wth, and snagged the last one of him up.

I think it is indeed possible. They will, perhaps, still have value for their in-game effects, provided the nfc chips inside still properly function years from now. Edit: Then again, their functionality may eventually be emulated, by Nintendo, for use on future consoles.
I'm ok opening up an Amiibo, as well as keeping 1, or 2 sealed. If I had to say the top 4, or 5 I am interested in, tops would be most interested in to the less-interested in. They would be Luigi, Mega Man, Rosalina, & Lucina. Next would be Little Mac, Mario, Zelda, & Sheik. For the unreleased, ZS Samus, & Duck Hunt. Those are pretty much it, w/ the first four being the ones I'd like to get the most.
The point of these is to enjoy them, even if you don't use their in-game functionality. These are also the current "it". When, years down the road, Amiibo are no longer a current/hot/highly-desired kids toy, & not the current gen tech, then I'm ok selling them on e-Bay higher than a set amount.
I plan to get King Dedede, Ness, Lucina and Bowser Jr. I most likely will get Robin as well just to complete the Fire Emblem series. I do wish there was a female version of Robin though.

That's one thing I've been thinking about, I wonder if Nintendo will be making alt characters (Alph, the Koopalings, male Wii Fit Trainer, female Robin) that are skins into amiibo, if so they could maybe devote a whole wave to Bowser Jr. and the Koopalings!

......what the **** are beanie babies? what do they have to do with nintendo? or electronics? or figurines? whatever you learned from "beanie babies" it's irrelevant here..

They were another fad that people bought into because they felt they would be valuable in the future, but then eventually people got bored and nobody wants them anymore. I think the person who created eBay actually did so to facilitate their beanie baby collecting. You must have lived under a rock in the mid-90's because these things were huge.
I remember buying my girlfriend one in like 1993 or something and it turned out it was like one of the first ones ever released. Years later when we were in high school I tried to get it back from her to sell it but wanted to keep it haha
I hadn't thought of beanie babies in years and just searched them on google to see what happened to them. Turns out there are still a number of people interested in these things!
I have 3 amiibo:
A Kirby, nicknamed Bruce, that I got with the launch of SSB4 (LVL 50)
A Pikachu, nicknamed Spark, who I got for my Birthday (LVL 50)
A Shulk, nicknamed Luke, that I bought a few days ago (LVL 27)
I've bought four so far: Captain Falcon, Mega Man, Sonic and Toon Link (which is still in the mail). Pac-Man will be the last (probably) I buy from this Smash Bros. series.
I have trouble choosing between two amiibos, help me out here guys and tell me which one I should get. The one that gets at least five votes, wins. Please answer as soon as possible
