Got my Rosalina amiibo in the mail today!

Had a hard time deciding what to name her. Eventually named her "Iwata", after someone who's among the stars right now

I may actually have a shot at Dark Pit here. :o

Palutena I can definitely get, thank goodness. I shop online a lot since it's often the only way I CAN shop due to lack of a driver's license. I just kinda hope she isn't crushed in shipping... Marth wasn't that bad, but Fox's packaging was worse... Pit came okay though. I'd still keep the Amiibo if the figure itself is fine, but Palutena looks more easily broken than Fox or Marth. That staff and blue halo thing...

EDIT: Tsu, of course she will. Amazon themselves are different from their resellers.

She looks great~ So glad she doesn't have a derp wand, lol

Also Ana, for what it's worth, there was nothing wrong with the Fox and Peach from Amazon. If you buy directly from them, you shouldn't have to worry about the boxes being damaged during shipping.

Thankfully, Palutena isn't hard to get if you import. Since this is the only way that you can get her. Just hope they sell these for retail on release day there!

So, for Code Name S.T.E.A.M., I got myself the Robin and Lucina Amiboo in order to unlock all the characters and... yikes, people weren't kidding about how powerful they are. Especially compared to Marth and Ike. Apparently Califa wasn't overpowered enough and needed a version of her that requires less steam for the same damage. And Lucina... gets basically the same damage output as Marth and for the same steam too, except that Lucina attacks at range and can even attack at an angle. And naturally she can jump too and gets a passive ability that boasts both attack and defense of the whole team because why the heck not?

Although I am not sure if those ridiculous abilities work out in their favour. Marth and Ike both have useful abilities if one is clever in how to use them. Compared to that, Lucina and Robin feel downright boring since they just annihilate everything from a save distance. And Robin is mostly just a buffed Califa anyway. Edit: Nevermind. Overpowered as she may be, Lucina's combination of the dash, jumping and long range splash attacks allows all kinds of crazy and fun moves. But Robin is nothing special.

Fun fact: It's possible to hear the Fire Emblem themes in CN STEAM without having all the Amiibos. The themes will play as long as only Fire Emblem characters are deployed. So technically it doesn't actually matter how many. It's just that later in the game, you always have to deploy four characters. But early one before Lion and Tiger Lily are recruited, it's possible to deploy less then four characters and therefore the themes can be heard with just 2-3 Amiibos. The exception is the alternate title theme. This one will unfortunately only play if all four are present on the title screen.

Well, I'm glad I can hear some of the FE music in Steam without having to get all of the FE Amiibo, but it still stinks that one of them can only be heard if you have all four. I don't want Lucina. >_>

That didn't take long.

AND he's English! Can I say it like that? "He's an English."

But judging by how they're being advertised on Amazon, I have to say that it seems they're fairly common now.

The detail is stunning, too. I could look at little Pit all day!!

Can confirm this. Am terrible at Codename S.T.E.A.M, (the escort mission with Victoria is a PAIN), but deployed just FE amiibos and heard "Showdown" (which has an awesome remix of FE Gaiden's battle theme btw), "Premonition", and "Chance Encounter"

Hey, Shulk's up on GameStop, peeps! I don't need him, but if anybody here does, now's your chance!

And I had just bought him from a scalper two weeks ago. Drat.

Oh well, let's not lose our heads though.

Yeah, I know the feeling... I bought Dedede and Ness from eBay thinking they wouldn't be available online and that their restock was in-store only... And I was wrong. xP

So, apparently, Best Buy's ad says that each store will have a minimum of eight Dark Pits on release. If there are really any stores that get only eight, that's going to be stupid. :/

Peripheral Device

Best Buy's my hero.

Because Target's has already sold out of these! Obtained now along with the Palutena amiibo which was gotten for 21.50 free shipping! The American ones are gone though.

@Ana

Only eight of these?! D:

May have to import if no luck camping for it!

im ready to camp, because of the many campers in my area, quite a few have told me that they imported their Dark Pits already, leaving more availability for me ~!

does Best Buy's Gamers Club offer its 20% discount on the Reader?
