I was going to get didd kong anyway :)
I need my main!

I hope they do well. Its a great Christmas gift for kids and must be extremely profitable for Nintendo.

oh, don't worry. I bet they ship that stuff for ages, since it will sell like water.

I really wonder how high the demand actually is because I imagine Nintendo will sell out regardless of demand. Shipments will probably be low.

Yes, it seems as though this and next year are nintendo testing the waters with this. No doubt Pokemon and other games should support it. Nintendo even announced though releasing later a budget version of amiibos which is cards instead of figurines

Good news!!!! Water sells so much you don't even understand.

I agree - they seem to be testing the water and I. Et their initial shipments will be very low to ensure a sell out - if they are already projecting a sell out now they have time to ship more if they are inclined- I'll prob get the Smash brows w free Amibo deal at Toys r Us and see if my 8 year old is interested- since they are not specific to 1 game and the longer I wait the more I'll know how much use they will be beyond what has been announced so far, I don t see the hurry

Good idea. I can't imagine that most people want the figurines for their actual functionality though. It certainly isn't worth the price solely for their function.

I for one, only care because I'm a Nintendo fan who loves Nintendo collector's items.

Definitely purchasing the Zeldamiibo.

The hardcore Nintendo fans will buy them in droves, the question is if they can get the kids interested. That's the real moneymaker.
