@shinynewbicycles Yeah my wife received my delivery for me today - pre-ordered from Nintendo UK and got my Squid Amiibo Game and T-Shirt bundle today. Will be busy when I get home XD
But surely if you can't get the squid amiibo, you can just import from CN, NA or JP as a last resort if they can be sold separately?
Tempting, but should have released at launch to get my money. I already have the Ambassador New 3DS so I don't think I'll be picking up another New 3DS model unless it's a super duper very limited edition model.
@Spoony_Tech Yeah sorry didn't realise that was his name - I've edited my post lol. I find his ability quite useful with +20% attack. Lion's ability of +20% is also useful, but Lucina's ability is the best.... combined Queequeg and Lion's ability for +20% attack and +20% defense all in 1 character!
Oh, over here there is a surplus of Ike and you can get Marth for a slightly elevated price (about £25), Lucina and Robin are almost non-existent here lol
@Spoony_Tech The black guy who lobs penguins? If you wanted Fire Emblem amiibo, you could always get Ike? He is really common, although he is the least used amiibo in the game for me. He has no ranged attacks. Though it is the same for Marth, he has the No-Counter ability which makes him uber for rushing in for close combat.
I completed this game within 3 days of getting it lol.
@Spoony_Tech who was your favorite character? I always had Lucina, Foxy and Lily on my teams + interchangeable 4th. Robin's magic book was really powerful too.
@Grumblevolcano These plates were never exclusive to the Ambassador 3DS anyway - I saw them for sale on a Japanese website lol. Watch, they will start selling the other set of exclusive Ambassador plates soon... The one with Nintendo in English and Japanese on the plates...
I've hidden mine away and using Red Toad plates at the moment.
@tsukipon Oh is that all this is? Another attack on UK from the US because "OH WE DON'T HAVE ENOUGH AMIIBOS?!" bullcrap again? Just suck it up and stop pretending you know so much about economics because at the end of the day... you are another one of those people who just moan and groan when actually the US gets 60% of all amiibo productions. And that sir... is a fact.
@Mush123 Yeah I know right... I managed to pre-order Robin just in time on ShopTo, but I had to import Shulk from Japan and get Lucina for slightly higher price on Amazon (not too much higher though thankfully).
@tsukipon Yes, in GAME they have raised the price of all amiibo's to £12.99 like many retailers simply because they are a blood-sucking money hungry corporation. If you look online at Amazon UK, you'll see the actual varying prices. In GAME you won't be able to get rarer amiibo's - all they have are the common ones.
@tsukipon I wasn't commenting in a specific area - I was talking about general. If the demand is high for a product then naturally, stock depletes and when products get scarce, their value increases. In the global situation, amiibo are 'kind of' scarce and that is why the RRP is increasing. As for importing, the prices remain high because of import tax and shipping. I once shipping a Shulk from Japan and the import+shipping cost about £10 alone.
Pretty much stopped playing this now... Been playing Puzzles & Dragons Z since Friday... It's pretty much like Pokemon except you mess around with dragons lol.
This Celebi is going to be a super duper hard one to catch isn't it? I haven;t spent any money yet and not going to... Managed to get Groudon in time but started too late to get Rayquaza.
@JellySplat My Robin came late (arrived on Saturday), well at least it came XD, now I need Lucina... Have you seen how much they're going for on Amazon from scalpers? in the region of £40-£50 !! What the heck!
Just did 50cc Animal Crossing Leaf Cup last night, with my girlfriend, before I slept and it was so much fun! I love that new Leaf track car, looks uber!

Why do they bring OoT again? The best one was on 3DS and now on the U? They are just blood thirsty money hungry grabbing vampires.

Re: Don't Hold Your Breath On Those Marth amiibo Restocks
@tsukipon None of what you said prior to your most recent post indicates that you side with the UK.
Please refrain from insulting other users. (Jazzer).

Re: Don't Hold Your Breath On Those Marth amiibo Restocks
@tsukipon I agree with you.
Re: Don't Hold Your Breath On Those Marth amiibo Restocks
@Rafie I'm not stirring up trouble. You just had to poke your fat nose into someone else's conversation - so I'd say you were the initiator.

Re: Don't Hold Your Breath On Those Marth amiibo Restocks
@Rafie Please use correct grammar: "LOL Boy you're ignorant."
Re: Don't Hold Your Breath On Those Marth amiibo Restocks
@tsukipon Prices are only rising for those that are limited in supply in the UK... Just look at Link... he is £9 online whereas Lucina is £50+
US hasn't raised prices because there is no stock for prices to raise. I don't get what the problem is.
Again try to keep replies civil. (Jazzer)
Re: Don't Hold Your Breath On Those Marth amiibo Restocks

@tsukipon Economics 101 - demand of a product goes up, supply goes down, price goes up.
Re: Don't Hold Your Breath On Those Marth amiibo Restocks
Loads of Marth on Amazon UK... Just at a little excess price of £20-25.
