Rare or hard to find Amiibos?

December 7th 2014, 2:35 pm

I can't find Marth or the Villager anywhere. Why hasn't Nintendo shipped more of these Amiibos to retailers yet?

December 7th 2014, 3:59 pm

It's rumored that Marth and The Villager Amiibos have already been discontinued, though I have a feeling that the rumor is just that, a rumor. Wink

December 7th 2014, 5:00 pm

Both of them are on my extended amiibo wishlist, so if this rumour proves true... Neutral

If this is true Nintendo is giving its customers the middle-finger. Sad

December 7th 2014, 6:09 pm

I hope that this rumor isn't true. Sad

I found an Ichiya's Games near Akihabara that has many figures of the villager from Animal Crossing in stock! Dance

December 8th 2014, 12:44 pm

The rumor isn't true, but non the less I got all 3 launch day despite not pre ordering them, I may pre order Shulk though seeing its a GS exclusive

December 9th 2014, 11:50 am

And now Nintendo says that some Amiibos will be discontinued upon the initial shipment...WTF Nintendo?! Rare or hard to find Amiibos? 1625187496

December 9th 2014, 9:57 pm

So are they discontinued or not?
Nintendo needs to definitively announce whether or not they have been axed Exclamation

December 9th 2014, 11:54 pm

See, this is why I'm only prioritising on well-known characters. With funds tight due to maximum spoilage of my family and friends, I'm likely going to be less-inclined to shop for a while (except for the post-Christmas sales, of course), so I have my doubts about certain characters. Marth would be the perfect substitute for Ganondorf if the latter isn't released...as long as the Altean prince doesn't cost a princely amount on eBay/Amazon/insert online marketplace here. Neutral

It has just dawned on me that I will never be able to get the amiibo I'd like - even narrowing down my wishlist to the bare minimum won't allow me to complete my personal collection, because they are just so scarce, with even the figures from the upcoming wave completely sold out across Australia. The members of this forum know that I'm generally a cheerful guy, and I don't typically get upset, but just this epiphany alone has me on the verge of tears. Crying or Very sad

Nintendo has failed miserably with the Amiibos lol. Rolling Eyes

I can't even find Mario Amiibos in stock anymore lol. Rolling Eyes

How common are Yoshi, Donkey Kong, Samus and Fox from the Super Smash Bros. series in the US?

February 22nd 2015, 8:07 pm

Fox is probably the rarest @Zack
The rare ones in the US are: Villager, Ike, Marth, Pit, Capt. falcon, Wii Fit Trainer, Little Mac, Shulk, Rosalina and Luma, Mega Man, and Sonic

February 22nd 2015, 8:11 pm

Does that mean Yoshi, Donkey Kong, Samus, Fox, Bowser, Zelda and King Dedede are fairly common?! Surprised

If I had my way, I would get all these amiibo:

Super Smash Bros. Series
Mario
Yoshi
Donkey Kong
Link
Pikachu
Samus
Kirby
Fox
Bowser
Zelda
King Dedede
Greninja

Super Mario Series
Mario
Luigi
Peach
Toad
Yoshi
Donkey Kong
Wario
Bowser

These are my top picks from the Super Mario series
I already found these ones

But I doubt I'll be able to find each of them, so I guess I'll need to choose only a few and be content with what I have.

March 25th 2015, 4:02 am

Wow, Super Mario amiibo are fairly common here! What's the situation in your neck of the woods?

March 25th 2015, 2:03 pm

@Zack no dedede is rare here too :/ until yesterday Toad wasn't even available, but I did manage to snag a Mega Man, also Lucario, Shulk, Meta Knight, Rosalina and Luma, and Gold Mario are exclusive to each different places here in the US making them even rarer then normal

March 25th 2015, 2:49 pm

How common are Super Mario amiibo in your part of the world, @passioNATE? victory

March 25th 2015, 5:31 pm

@Zack all except Toad are common

March 25th 2015, 5:43 pm

Hm...Toad is actually fairly common here, since most Target and EB Games have at least one in stock. It seems as though Yoshi is pretty popular, though. I guess everyone loves dragons! Rare or hard to find Amiibos? 631737971

March 26th 2015, 9:34 am

Well my friend found Gold Mario, so I finally have a exclusive character (not the one I was hoping, but great non the less)

March 26th 2015, 10:27 am

Awesome! I just scored Rosalina and Luma used from Gamestop! Rare or hard to find Amiibos? 631737971

March 26th 2015, 1:02 pm

Congratulations, you two! Smile

March 27th 2015, 10:53 am

Villager is in-stock at Gamestop.com right now, but the supply is limited. Wink

March 27th 2015, 1:56 pm

It's weird that some amiibo were dissed by fans before they even came out ("No way am I getting yoga girl! What a dumb idea for a character!"), yet they are now the most highly sought after characters in the series ("Wow, a Wii Fit Trainer for $75?! That's so cheap! You bet I'm clicking Buy it Now!"). #Irony

May 28th 2015, 6:17 pm

I heard King Dedede amiibo are starting to appear on store shelves throughout the US. Is he still pretty rare over there, or could he now be considered "uncommon"? I ask this because he's the one character out of my core 15 which I have the most doubts about finding, and there are no restocks in Australia yet.

May 28th 2015, 6:35 pm

I managed to pre order Ness, which I assume will be rare, I hope to pick up a robin and Lucina tomorrow first thing at my store before I head to work... I think they stock at 9:00AM so I'll try to get their before... Plus I'll pick up Wario

Yeah dedede is still rare here... I still can't find him' and he goes for $30 online

May 28th 2015, 8:01 pm

That's disappointing. Neutral

May 28th 2015, 9:39 pm

Went up at midnight instead and managed to pick up Silver Mario, and Wario, but Robin and Lucina were gone already (only 2 each)

May 28th 2015, 9:43 pm

That's no good, @passioNATE. It kind of makes me feel fortunate to have my own Robin amiibo.

May 29th 2015, 9:15 pm

The Splatoon three Amiibo set is going for $250+ on Ebay right now...FACEPALM! Rare or hard to find Amiibos? 1625187496

May 30th 2015, 9:25 am

Well I managed to get meta knight thanks to Yakko for telling me they restocked

May 30th 2015, 2:39 pm

I realised last night that the Silver Mario amiibo looks like Metal Mario.

May 30th 2015, 6:30 pm

@Zack that's the ONLY reason I picked up Silver Mario, otherwise I don't plan on picking up repeats (unless they do a ton of different costumes or different Barents of character like villager and wii fit trainer or shiny Pokemon)

May 30th 2015, 8:05 pm

It'd be neat to see amiibo variants on shelves, but I think the most likely ones would be Alph and the Koopalings since they represent completely separate characters.

May 30th 2015, 10:19 pm

Is Ness a rare amiibo to find? I was lucky enough to have one set aside for me at my nearest EB Games, meaning I now have a potential EarthBound representative for my collection! ^_^

June 1st 2015, 5:24 pm

How rare is the Luigi amiibo in the US (the Smash one, not the MP10 one)? I haven't found a single one anywhere here, and I'm kind of eager to add him to my collection.

June 1st 2015, 9:30 pm

@Zack yes Ness is rare (I managed to preorder and get him today) since hes a GS exclusive and Luigi isnt common or rare hes in between

June 1st 2015, 9:52 pm

Ah, thanks for the info @passioNATE. Smile

June 3rd 2015, 11:45 am

Splatoon Squid Form is easily the most rare Amiibo as it isn't sold alone and is only available from the limited edition Splatoon three Amiibo set. Neutral

And some truck thieves in the UK probably contributed to that problem. Angry

June 19th 2015, 1:05 am

My local Target has almost every amiibo in stock, and they have loads of each! It's like an amiibo collector's dream come true! Surprised

June 19th 2015, 2:22 pm

The stock shortage hasn't improved in my region yet. Mario and Bowser are the only ones that I can find right now.
