Found these guys at TRU! Finally good to see some of these harder ones to get back in stores. First time I have ever came across Falcon..and last time I seen Fox was the launch date last november. And thinking "ahh I'll get him later" haha...only to never see him in stores again until today.

THey had about 50 of each re-stock at Best Buy today except for Villager. Grabbed Little Mac as he is the only one beside the Villager I want from that group.

Yeah, I may go to Best Buy in the next day or so. But I have Famicom R.O.B. on preorder, as well as a Chibi import I'm looking at (the us art is trash, and I keep mine in the box- or most, anyhow). Here's some of my retro space, until I can figure out some better ways to do this. My cats knocked the other G+W gallery GB games behind my desk... not worth fishing out right now. imgur.com/a/SGFNqthere's the rest

Went to best buy after work and got these two. Been wanting both of these forever!! First time ever seeing them in a store. They had quite a bit (over 15) of marths, falcons, foxes, dark pits, shulks, lucarios, and greninjas. And only 5 little macs. It was such a beautiful display...almost like an awesome dream to see all those great amiibo figures. I hope everyone on here has gotten who they needed from this awesome restock tru and best buy did.

I open all of my amiibo. I don't think they look great in the package.
Mine collection is:
G&W Duck Hunt Duo R.O.B. Little Mac Mario Peach Bowser Pac-Man Mega Man Sonic Samus Toon Link Yoshi (MP) Peach (MP) Mario (MP) Luigi (MP) Toad
Only one out that I want that I don't have is Villager. Hopefully that re-stocks when the other AC amiibo come out. I'll probably grab a few of the AC amiibo too. Want Nook and KK for sure.

Resetti amiibo is due in Japan this year; may be NA next year, but if you import.... then he's the one AC amiibo I really want. I assume a LoZ line will come out if the game drops for this gen... but with amiibo support confirmed (I think) for next-gen Nintendo (don't remember its working name now...), it's only a matter of time. I'll eat a LoZ line up...

Some pics.. Putty cat & R.O.B. My desk area is temporarily housing some of my books that don't fit on my shelf anymore. I need space. You can see some of the retro stuff. And the pipe in the b/g... Little Mac my friend picked up for me ^_^ The Green Pipe that's at some Best Buys right now (also- if you planned to buy one NIB, good luck finding one that isn't in horrible condition... mine shipping bursting out of the plastic, to be perfectly honest...but I am told by a source I have that the carding was horrible even for most that arrived and were sold on the shelf, in-store) I like it, for display purposes. All amiibo fit perfectly, if not obvious. It is an official "amiibo" product, too, I think. The end-level display is nice too... but for a cheap buy, I dig this. And I guess Best Buy got 2-4 of them (on average) so I'm glad I got it when I managed to... He replaced the old spot on my wall where I had my Michael Richard figures, until I gave them to my friend who loves Seinfeld. I hope they're worth a gold penny one day. ^_^ imgur.com/a/IhknuThere's a link to the imgur album, there might be more, I forget.

Having a friend who works at Best Buy is paying off pretty well. He's snagged me Little Mac and Splatoon 3 pack over the past couple weeks.

^Yeah, that can always be beneficial. I had a one friend pick me up a Little Mac (and she brought it and dropped it off when I was in the neighborhood, babysitting for my parents! I've noticed some of the friendliest people collect amiibo, oddly ^_^). My other friend is holding onto a Shulk for me she picked up at Best Buy the other day I need to just pay her and she's going to get it to me. I'm happy to be a collector right now. Finding some of the ones I've wanted for awhile (those two, mainly, and to have friends offer to pick them up knowing that I'm really tied up right now during this restocks wave was awesome of them!). I also am working a trade with @starman from this site, my Rosie for his Villager. I'm excited about that, too. I'll officially have the original "trinity" haha. Here's a photo of some amiibo but it's mostly to flaunt my Ms. Cleo shirt: If you can see Little Mac in that photo, one of the photos above has a part of my desk just showing where you can see my extra (empty) retro pack box.... well, next to it is Olimar, who has been taken off of my wall due to lack of space for the time being. Poor Olimar. I like his amiibo (that I opened up) more than I like having him on display.... Fox, 8-Bit Classic, and a SSB Yoshi are behind there and waiting to be given away to friends or their streams or traded as well. ^_^

^ CALL ME NOW, if you'd like to talk about a trade for a Fox! Or if you're looking for a Lucario (the box isn't great, so if you collect OOB, I can open it beforehand to make shipping fast and do it priority for ya if the trade is fair!).... I need a NIB of any of the 3 FE: Ike, Robin, and Lucina! And a few commons maybe, and some other randoms here or there like Samus, for one.
(Classic 8-Bit is going to my friends' giveaway for the amiibo anniversary/their Twitch broadcast that day, but Fox is avail. and MAYBE Yoshi as well-- and if you wanted a Lucario, I'll have one once my friend who got me Little Mac gets it to me, albeit w/ a somewhat bent box...will be in hands soon, and that will be available if anyone needs it- esp. if you're OOB or want one for OOB reasons!) ^_^)

Wow, Best Buy was very serious about their restocks. I went in today to get a SSD for work and they had tons that I had never seen in stores before. I picked up Greninja, Marth, and Dark Pit as those were the ones they had that I don't have and/or aren't on the way. Have Bowser Jr, Villager, Pit, Splatoon 3 Pack, Retro 3 Pack, and Little Mac all on the way.

I have a crapload man, send me a list of your extras & needs and maybe we can work out some trades. On a side note, I was able to get pink and blue yoshi this morning without any problem. I have the bundle pre-ordered so I'll be waiting for that. They're so cute! Though I wasn't expecting them to be so small. I definitely want to splurge on Mega Yarn Yoshi now. Unfortunately it means finding a way to get to TRU (2 hours away) and back for work that night.

I know Chibi is coming out independently Winter '15 in the US, but I caved, and bought one from a US amazon honored 3rd party Prime seller for 15.99$...it'll come Sunday. I LOVE the box-art for the solo Chibi....
My Famicom R.O.B., which I actually did import, comes out soon I want to say. The 29th? 27th? Something, I dunno.
I also preordered Falco at bestbuy, and he is still up. Today, WFT, Shulk, Little Mac, and others were online for periods. I received a $25 gift certificate for anything on Walmart's site due to them cancelling my Lucina order (funny thing is, much like my Robin order which I also cancelled, I knew this wouldn't go through and cancelled it before they could inform me it was b.s.... and I still am getting a $25 certificate for free, and have already been refunded. Kudos to them- for once)

Also, some shots of my amiibo wall/desk (which is also a bookshelf, shelf for my cassette tapes, among other things temporarily... but mainly to be a Nintendo shrine of sorts) and recent photos, including some Macro experimenting I did with my eBay cam.... And yes, my fingers are dirty from working on customs.... lol imgur.com/a/LYVoT
