Oops forgot about Teggo online. Though I was more or less talking about stores, ones I could visit. My local Teggo which a big one thought it a good idea not to stock Amiibos... And now they have become a huge hit. Well done Tescrew you muppet.

Aww, safe journey little one :whoopsie:

Thanks Joe, very much appreciated. I'm relieved to see you've unboxed your Amiibos. I was wondering if I'd made a grave error doing the same.

They're Nath's. Mine (DK and Cpt. Falcon (for now :palm: )) are incoming, they will be getting unboxed though.

Actually I was contemplating opening yours and stuffing some bubble wrap inside. :think:

There's no need to send the box at all if it's easier. I've turfed all my other boxes out and wouldn't be keeping Villager's one in any case.

Pikachu looks great. I saw him and Captain Falcon in the local Game the other day but they were £14.99 so I never bothered :problem:

In an effort to keep this madness in check (trying to keep my "price per amiibo" under the £12 RRP), I've created the following natty spreadsheet;
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B9Nk0F ... sp=sharing
I saved it in 97-2003 format, hopefully nothing broke (using 2013 here). Obviously it's full of my data, but at least it shows how the sheet works.

Haven't unboxed my amiibos as I'm doing the collector/horder thing. Might pick up one or two used :hinthint: amiibos in the future for actual gaming with and touching and stuff. :fastlove:

Still have a spare Marth if anyone needs... somebody please track down Little Mac at a sensible price :problem:

I decided to wait for a character that I will actually use in SSB. :shifty:

The OCD and sheer 'proper order' of that spreadsheet is just pure excellence.

I have three Amiibo and your spreadsheet oddly makes me want the lot. Dunno though if I can be arsed with them now though as I won't have time to use them next year.

I will likely flog them on. :(

TRK none of the first 29 appeal? I should probably actually buy SSB, but was a bit surprised to learn how amiibos actually work in the game. Even Ninty's own trailers fail to adequately explain that you don't actually control the character. :(

Yeah, well, uhhh.. I forgot that I don't actually control the amiibo character. Now I don't want any. :lol:

EDIT: I actually have Mario still in the box, as I got the limited edition of the game...

They are still working on it and will copy Sky Landers and Disney Infinity next year. They are rumoured, in the future to hold extra levels, powers and stats etc. I know it's an obvious answer so don't you guys worry your sweet little heads.
News is, that there will be versions released on card for people that don't wanna spend £10 a pop.

Me too. I really hope Nintendo make them card only soon... If not, then I'll probably fill a couple of cabinets and split.. I can't spending loads of money and then reducing house space... :lol: Says an arcades enthusiast! :lol:

Edit: Just had a look at that list.. Very OCD! But hey! That's a complement.

So far I have:
#2 Peach
#4 Donkey Kong
#5 Link
#6 Fox Mc
#7 Samus
#8 Wii Fit Trainer
#9 Villager
#11 Kirby
#12 Marth x2
#13 Zelda
#15 Luigi
#18 Captain Falcon

Haven't decided what my cut-off point will be yet. I guess SSB will only go to wave 4/5 as there are a finite number of characters in the game innit. Won't be shelling out for hundreds of these buggers...

The Mrs just bought me the game from Tesco's. Might open my spare Marth! :think:

Just open the lot. Stuff like this doesn't really increase value with time, only while the craze lasts.
