Reminder: Piranha Plant, King K. Rool and Ice Climbers amiibo Are Out Today

And now I wait for the mail to be delivered. And I’ve already got the next three preordered. I’m having a way easier time getting my hands on amiibo this time around and I’m grateful not to have to pay scalpers. I spent $50 on Pit and Captain Falcon back in the day...

Honestly I think I'm out. I have around 60 amiibo already, and I've been having a lot less interest in video games lately. Not to mention money's kind of tight.

I actually think Piranha Plant's amiibo is really cute, might as well get it.

I'm awaiting a delivery for Ice Climbers and Piranha Plant - might pick up King K. Rool at a later date, but I had to prioritise money for sustinence.

@thesilverbrick it was little Mac for me. Spent $40 on him because I got caught up in the madness. I still love amiibo to this day but I'm more patient than the first couple of waves.

For some reason, my Piranha Plant pre-order is still processing at Best Buy. I am wondering if my store didn't get its shipment yet. (Last time, Ridley was in store but my pre-order was still processing.)

Ironically, that amiibo was available on Best Buy just before 3 a.m., so I ordered a back-up.

All three, as well as the Charizard and Cloud Player 2 re-releases are waiting for me at Best Buy as I type this. GET HERE SOONER, 10 AM!

Now of all the released Smash amiibo, I'm only missing Ike, the Japanese color version of ROB, and Corrin Player 2 after today!

Yep, grabbing mine from Best Buy at lunch! Well, Ice Climbers are being shipped from Amazon. Weird how I had to split it up because the pre-orders went so fast at Amazon.

I wasn't going to buy any more amiibo... I wasn't... I wasn't... gosh that Pirahna Plant is tempting though. It'd be fun to have for Mario Maker...

Just received my piranha plant today have to say it’s really nice the textures on the plant pot look great I just want ken now then I’m done with amiibo or at least I thought I was just seen Simon Belmont amiibo

The amiibos have gotten so much nicer since their inception. Mine will be there when I get home, can't wait to see King K Rool!

@Leuke

Omg, you're right, I forgot about that feature. I haven't turned on Mario Maker in a long time, but amiibo was a really fun addition to that game.

Ice Climbers and K.Rool arrived today, look amazing. Still can’t find me a Piranha Plant.

Aside from looking nice on your shelf I still don't get what's the point of those. I scanned my Link amiibo, got to select a look for him and then fight him so he earns experience? What is the goal here?
I got the amiibo for BotW, I wasn't sure if it would work in Smash at all.

@Giygas_95 I've always gone through times like this. Interest drops in games and I sell my stuff due to being short of cash. Regret it a few months down the line. Start collection slowly again. Rinse and repeat. It's usually something Nintendo that gets me back into gaming though. GameCube, DS and switch all have the honour of lighting that gaming fire in me again.

I had to stop, there were just way too many of these sitting around looking pretty but not getting used. Exceptions for things like Simon Belmont who I've never been able to score at a reasonable price before. But as Young Link sat in my shopping cart last night I thought... how many Links do I really need? Still, I'm incredibly glad these continue to be high quality releases with loads of detail and excellent paint jobs

I need that plant boi!

@MoonKnight7 "The amiibos have gotten so much nicer since their inception."

Also a lot more expensive. K Rool looks ok for the price but I can't spend that much on a plant. We did buy Ridley at that price - a birthday gift for my son who really didn't need much else 3 weeks after Christmas - but he has a dragon collection of all types - stuffed, rubber, statues, Funko's, amiibo - so we'll likely pass on these. Though if they give Piranha his own 2D side-scroller like Chibi Robo maybe I'd pick one up. After watching my son play with him in SSBU I'm certain that moveset would work well in a 2D platformer.

I wonder if the new SMM2 will get an amiibo bundle like the first game did? Maybe not with the Switch itself, but the game and an amiibo. I don't think we've had a new Mario amiibo since his white tux, maybe Dr. Mario, he's falling way behind Link.

This is the 3rd SMM game, counting the 3DS port, about time they made a Mario amiibo that looks like this home made version. Not exactly, but the hardhat and tool belt are a must. Bob the Builder Mario amiibo.

I got all three of them earlier. They're all amazing. Piranha Plant is bigger than I thought, K. Rool is an absolute unit, and I really love how the Ice Climbers are done. Three very wonderfully crafted amiibo.

@MoonKnight7 I mean, I'm assuming the functionality in MM2 will be the same. In which case running around as a Pirahna Plant might be too good to pass up...

@Beermonkey Yep, only difference with me is I usually don't sell anything. Hope I don't end up wanting these later though because they may become hard to find.

@rjejr

They have gotten more expensive, definitely. However, take any of the new ones and compare them to the yellow pee stand Link from the first round of amiibos. Frankly, I'd rather have the quality, but that's just me and people are allowed to be upset at the price hike. I'm just saying at least the quality improved — they could have just raised the price, and not changed the quality at all.

For all the Link amiibos out there (isn't there 12 by now, it's insane), it is still amazing to me that there is still no Mario Maker amiibo, but hey, that could be rectified with Mario Maker 2.

This article confused me. They have been out for a week already here in the netherlands.

My Pirhana Plant is "on the way" so says Amazon. Therefore will not get it until Monday or Tuesday

My Piranha Plant is on the way. I've only bought five amiibo, so I'm not big into it, but this is one I really wanted to have.

@MoonKnight7 I'm expecting a new Link amiibo in the new Link Reawakening clay graphics when that game releases for a bakers dozen.

I preordered all three from Amazon. I received notifications that all three will be arriving today.

I'll probably pickup Snake. the Belemonts, and Ken for sure. I'll skip Daisy and I'm thinking about Young Link.

@thesilverbrick

" I spent $50 on Pit and Captain Falcon back in the day..."

Jesus wept.

I take it these will be hard to find if ya don’t snag them quickly.

I preordered these a while back; should be waiting for me when I get back from my vacation.

The only amiibo I've spent a ridiculous sum ($50) on was Shulk, who I bought from a scalper store because I couldn't find him anywhere else. Everything else has been 2x listing price (if second hand) or less. And most were preorder or bought new from Nintendo NY, GameStop, Amazon, Best Buy, Target, Toys'R'Us (rip), etc.

@rjejr I never thought I wanted a 2D Piranha Plant platformer but now I can’t stop thinking about it

@MH4 I know right. Maybe it could be SSBU DLC similar to Subspace Emissary. 😃 As long as it isn't 3D, I've never understood how my favorite tower defense game Plants vs Zombies morphed into Garden Warfare.

I got them to pickup but Piranha Plant seems the most unique Amiibo of the three. Wonder what actions it will give on the SSB.

Waiting on my plant to ship got cloud player 2, ice climbers and k rool at best buy. GCU still saving me money.

I just picked up Cloud Player 1 and Charizard is on the way. I just pre-ordered Young Link and I want Piranha Plant and Daisy.

I have Ice Climbers reserved as a late Christmas gift. I will pick it up this weekend.

Picked up King K. Rool and the Ice Climbers today. Would've gotten the plant but he be nowhere around me.

@rjejr at least we got that new Plants vs Zombies game to look forward to in the coming future coming to consoles. Maybe it won't be a GW game.

Got the 3 of them, Ice Climbers took me 2 stores to find here in Mexico.

I got all three. Piranha and Ice C are fantastic. The quality isn't so great on King unfortunately, the claws look a little smudged, the gold doesn't look as good as it could. But King does have a very cool red eye filled with angry wrathful blood vessels which is a great detail!

I snapped up the Piranha plant and King K Rool, great looking amiibos. Really looking forward to the next wave

Nice to see they haven't gotten any better with the whole supply and demand thing on these. Only available a couple days and they're already vanished and getting collector's prices online. Piranha Plant has doubled in price. I used to at least get a slightly better chance at finding some before Toys-R-Us went under. Now it's just GameStop and their usual "they only sent us 3" routine.

Why did I even waste my time driving to two different stores looking for something that probably sold out the second the stores opened the boxes?

Ok, so it seems like Ice Climbers weren't popular enough to do the same vanish like vapor trick, but the other two are set to join Wii Fit Trainer and many others in the never-had-a-chance club.
