For those still looking for some of the harder to find ones... try Amazon Germany. Little bit more expensive, but it's better than paying extravagant e-Bay prices.

I ordered Marth, Wii Fit Trainer and the Villager for a little over $60 shipped for one of my friends at work earlier today. It's really a good deal considering they are pretty much non-existent in the states now.

Yeah I think I should probably get them from there too, it's unlikely that they're going to get a second shipment, and it's only slightly above the £10 retail over here.

I ordered the Wii Fit Trainer today for just under £18, a little steep, but I know that once I start collecting I'm going to be moody when I can't get the hard to get ones haha.
Then hopefully I'll get Villager and Marth. (:

So, for those that choose to open your Amiibos, how do you display them? I found this spice organizer at Bed Bath & Beyond for $8 that seems to do the trick quite well:

The only one I wanted was the Villager. I never found it, and I'm not going to play inflated prices for it. Oh well.

The last three that I need from Series 1 & 2 showed up today! Marth & Villager were purchased via Japanese stores on eBay ($24 shipped for Marth, $20 shipped for Villager), and Pit came from TRU. I'll open them all up and post another pic of 'em with my other 15 on the BB&B spice organizer once I get home this evening.

I've got 5 of them myself: Link, Kirby, Fox, Diddy Kong, and Zelda. I've kinda given up on the idea that I will get all of them, as much as I want them. I really just want to get a Bowser, Mega Man, and Sonic at this point and I think I'll be happy.

Amiibos are region-free. My daughter's registering the Villager as I type this. And FINALLY... The gang's all here!!

I was really close to starting to collect these... But they're next to useless. And while that shelf is sweet looking, it's not $225+ sweet looking, which is how much you've sunken into them if you paid retail prices.

Are you seriously on a pro wrestling action figure site hinting that you feel I've wasted money on a hobby that I enjoy? Don't get me wrong; I respect your decision to not collect 'em or whatever, but really, you shouldn't be so concerned about what other people spend their money on.

Picked up Dk & Diddy Kong a few days ago so now I have six: the aforementioned DK's, Zelda, Link, Pikachu & Kirby. My brother has Samus so I've got seven in my house. Still hoping my pre-order of Sonic, Bowser, Mega-Man & Ike on Gamestop doesn't end up getting cancelled when they come out. Probably going to bump on the shipping price with my next check for at least Sonic & Ike since I fear those two will be the one's that are going to be harder to keep but the price for all four with the cheapest shipping is like $70 & I'm not sure I want to pay much more than that for four amiibo's (heck, not sure I want to spend that much on four).

I didn't judge you for doing it. I'd like to have them myself, but I feel they're way too expensive for what they are. If they were $5 I'd have a shelf just like you. The "you" in my post was proverbial. Anyone with a full shelf has dropped that cash.

My only two amiibo so far are Fox and Mario. Not sure who I'll get next.

Nah a daddy/daughter hobby is always awesome. Super cool that there's something you can like together rather than having to pretend you care about the color of Barbie's Jeep. ...Does Barbie even have a Jeep anymore? Jeez.
