Sunwoo Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 Well, I preordered a Roy amiibo and it was still in stock. That was nice. Also saw the Fates N3DS thing on display but I don't need to get that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ClevelandSteve Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 It's sort of surprising how much the Amiibo bubble has burst, compared to about a year ago. I was able to wait until the end of my shift and pick up Lucas like it was no big deal, despite all the factors that would've made his Amiibo nigh-impossible to get if it had come out in Wave 3 or 4. Same with Shovel Knight earlier this month (despite the fact that Shovel Knight most likely had one of the smallest print runs of any Amiibo due to being useful in only a single indie game). On one hand, it's great that I can get the characters I want without waiting in lines for hours just to pre-order or taking off work just to wake up early and wait outside of the store I work at for it to open. On the other hand, I hope the decline in Amiibo sales isn't hurting Nintendo too bad, especially combined with the lackluster sales of the Wii U (which is kind of a shame, since I consider it one of Nintendo's top three consoles along with the SNES and the also-underrated Gamecube). I'd hate for them to have to go the way of Sega to stay afloat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anacybele Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 (edited) Well, Amiibo stock has gotten better, so people no longer have to bust their butts to get them. I don't think this means Amiibo aren't selling like hotcakes anymore, though. As soon as a new wave comes out, I'm pretty sure they'll still sell great. These are figures of Nintendo's beloved characters, that can be used in multiple Nintendo games. They're not gonna die that easily. Also, I'm not seeing any Amiibo that were once common anymore. At least not much. The Smash Mario characters are pretty much all gone, you can only find their SMB versions these days. And even those I don't see a lot of. I see more of the Amiibo that were once rare! I could walk into a GameStop now and see Ike, Shulk, Captain Falcon, and more now.

Ema Skye Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 I went to a Best Buy a few weeks ago and they had more Lottie than they had Wii U games for sale. Honestly, I can't wait for the Animal Crossing amiibo to be over because it's just an awful reminder that amiibo Festival exists... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angienessyo Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 It also helps that scalpers aren't interested in items that are going to be readily available. People aren't going to buy the store's entire stock now. All the restocks also helped get rid of people that were collecting only because they were rare. There was nothing more satisfying than hearing of people desperately trying to return their boxed amiibo once the restocks started flooding in.

Alastor15243 Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 I just realized... unless they're sensible and have the corrin amiibo do something in fates via an update, I dunno, something small like give you some of those weird crafting resources I heard about in My Castle... ...Then that would just be WEIRD. Corrin only has one canonical appearance, it's in a game set that uses amiibo, there's an amiibo of him... it would be so weird if the amiibo remained incompatible.

I don't want to pay over 13 bucks for an amiibo, lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MCProductions Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 Preordered Roy the day after preorders went up Glad that I'll finally be able to add an FE amiibo to my collection of an FE character who actually makes my top 5. Once the Corrin amiibo comes out, I'll have to clear out a whole shelve just for FE characters lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dwlr Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 (edited) I'm not responsable for any damege done to your figure but try using a tiny amount of thinner on a q-tip That's was what I was thinking of doing to fix it just wanted to check to see if it might work, I know some plastics react to paint thinner and sort of dissolve I didn't figure these would do that, but that's more or less what I wanted to check.
