Forums - Nintendo Discussion - So I bought my first couple amiibos...

I got Yoshi and Zelda (cba to take a pic). But man, I was the biggest critic with these things. Never really saw much of the appeal. Started seeing vids online of Boogie and his collection. Saw one dude who bought like a box of them to be a d*ck to everyone else. Prices at $13 seem fair, but that can't be said for those more rare amiibos. I really wanted Rosalina, but I saw her at $50 at the highest price on Amazon. Just recently added Mario and Peach to my Amazon basket/checkout. Want to see how many I can collect (damn you Nintendo), and they look really nice next to my consoles and on my tv stand. 

The thing that pleasantly surprised me is that the build quality is pretty good for the price. Zelda has a nice trim on her dress, meaningful creases and her patented emblem in the center. Yoshi has that big plump nose too. They also look like they can survive a fall (Yoshi at least), good for kids I suppose. 

RavenxTra kinda talked me into buying them like a week back (I think?), or at least talked about his and then I bought mine, but I'm pleasantly surprised I bought them! Anyone else a skeptic at first, but succumbed to Nintendo's warm embrace? What amiibos do you own?

Generally, the amiibos are good quality! Some of the faces (Marth) can look a bit weird, but the little details in on the cap, etc. make it really nice!

I have 3: Marth, Link, Pikachu

Though Pikachu may seem really plain as an amiibo, it is quite heavy and dense!

GJ! I have most of them (missing Little Mac, Rosalina and Lucario) and ya they are awesome quality



I have Pikachu which I got for Christmas. It's pretty nice overall! It's cute and well made.



Amiibos are like crack. It's easy to get addicted. I was pleasantly surprised by their quality too (well, outside ones like Marth - his body is fine, just not his face). I currently have Samus, Mario and Toon Link, with the Super Mario one coming in March. I still want Kirby and Pikachu.

I have Shulk myself, which has really nice detail to it.



"Just for comparison Uncharted 4 was 20x bigger than Splatoon 2. This shows the huge difference between Sony's first-party games and Nintendo's first-party games."

You better buy more Slade! I'll call in those Nintendo ninjas dammit, I swear!

Anyways, so far I have Link, Fox, Sheik, & Zelda. Waiting on a decent price for Ike, and hoping to snag a pre-order for Falco when he's revealed :)

Yeah marth's face looks weird, don't really like the price of him though :( 

Really wish Nintendo would wise up and increase demand. I may go to Gamestop at the end of the week to see if they have anything available; never saw an amiibo yet in stores, although I never tried to look for one.

Goes to Amazon to see prices of Sheik and Fox.... $23  

I really don't want to spend more than what they are set at. That's why I got Peach since it was less than $10 xD 

Your set up looks really nice too! Also, forgot to mention that i like the base of them too! Very sturdy and the gold shows off a nice semblance to the figure.

Yeah Shulk has some amazing detail, doubt I'll ever come across one of those though.
