Amiibos - Are they worth buying beyond collection purposes?

Currently it's one game that saves data on the Amiibo: Smash. That gives you a more challenging computer enemy and an enemy that grows more with your abilities. Also you can take it to your friends house. Besides that Amiibos only unlock things or give you ingame-stuff. The decision is yours if that justifies a purchase. If you don't collect I agree with Metallox advice to buy the amiibos that are compatible with more games. So far that means Mario Kart, as Hyrule Warriors supports all Amiibos (although Link and Zelda are special) and Smash supports all that are produced so far. I don't know about Toad.

Yeah, I will be interested to see what different Amiibos do in different games in the future.  I think the fact they are so limited in terms of the games you can use them on right now is holding me back

Yep. I think they will release all fighters from Smash first as Amiibos, before they switch their focus to the next game. But still the unlocking (like in Mario Kart) or the presents (like in Hyrule Warriors) are nice. I'm sure many of the upcoming games will support stuff like that.

And about only one safe I can also say: use one or two for Smash and the others for other games.
