Something that needs to be mentioned: if you want to use a compatible Smash Bros. Amiibo on Mario Party 10, you have to erase your Amiibo's data (level and stats) to do so. So most likely people will have to end up buying both versions of characters which is a shame. At least they've said they'll be re-printing Marth, hopefully other rare figures will get the same treatment.

I'm sure they will. Nintendo likes money; no reason not to if there is proof demand is there. I still can't believe people are paying so much for some of them.

Also I'm not too into the amiibo, and I don't currently own any of them, but I may have to pick up the Lucina and Shulk ones. Love both characters.

FINALLY! I've wasn't going to get an Amiibo until they made one for Lucina. Now I just need one for Zero Suit Samus and I'm set.

I wonder if Wario's Amiibo will be compatible with Mario Kart 8? I'm curious as to what the Mii's character-inspired racing outfit will look like...

Perhaps it'll have the design of that biker outfit that he's wearing? Cool

I can't wait to not be able to buy any of these.

Wasn't the Pit amiibo supposed to come out last December? I've looked everywhere and have yet to find a single one. All I've found were Zelda, Diddy Kong, and Luigi. I'm sure this wave will be no different. So no Lucina and Robin for me, sadly. If Nintendo wants this thing to become as widespread as something like Skylanders or Disney Infinity they're not doing a very good job.

I haven't heard anything about reprints of Shulk, and GameStop has been sold out pretty much since a week after pre-orders went up. So you guys are probably out of luck.

I missed out on Marth, but I'm definitely not gonna miss out on Lucina. Maybe I should get around to buying Samus as well.

I was thinking about buying the pac/sonic/mega amiibos but after reading this nintendo can look at my transmitted rage.

I have almost all of the released Amiibo so far. I wasn't playing on buying them, but I decided to get one for Smash Bros. Then one thing led to another and, well, here I am.

The new Peach looks a lot better though. Simplified designs look a lot better on the figures. Amiibo like Yoshi, Mario, and Kirby look fantastic, while Link, Zelda, and Peach look merely okay because they're smaller to make up for the attempt at detail. This new SD Peach looks a lot better
