I luckily don't own one and I probably never will.

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, I didn't want to take my chances when it came to Nintendo keeping up stock so I made sure to get the Fox & Sheik amiibo right at launch. :/

I think if you wait long enough they're bound to get a new shipment at some point. Fox & Sheik aren't very obscure as far as Nintendo characters go.

I knew you were a Nintendo fanboy on the inside, Slade, but to fall this low...

 

I think I don't have any respect for you anymore

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!

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.

I was lucky enough to preorder him at regular price.. but now, it's quite expensive

They are very addicting. I have four: Donkey and Diddy Kong, Kirby, and Toon Link. I have the itch to get all the LoZ amiibo + Meta Knight.

Yeah, I really do like them.  I have about 9 right now and the build quality is pretty good, except for Marth

Nightmares for days

Marth's face seems to vary quite a bit because though mine isn't that good, it isn't terrible... but the Falchion stays bent :(

I'm pretty sure the demand couldn't get any higher...

Okay, sarcasm aside, I DO hope people wise up and stop badgering Nintendo to "make more" when they don't realize they're already making as many as they can.  The demand for these is insane, and I have no doubt they've sold well over 6 million of these by now in a matter of 3 months...

Which is mindblowing when you stop to think about how many different models there are.  As a person who understands mass production, I KNOW this is a nightmare for them over there in China at the factory

I have 8 of them. Kirby, Link, Mario, Mega Man, Zelda, Bowser, Dedede, and Samus. The quality is kind of variable. Link is meh as is Zelda. Samus is a little better. Dedede and Bowser look awesome.

A little disappointed in the functionality, but we'll see how that plays out. More collecting them just for figures right now.
