Which Amiibos did you get and why?

I have a feeling a lot of people are going to say all of them, but I just got Marth cause, at least in the US, he is supposed to be one of the rarer ones and he looks really cool, he is my favourite looking one, I was going to get Fox originally but I might not get him now, I might wait for Falco. I also hear they're running out really quickly, I got mine at 8 from a Target so I don't know how they've been doing but I hear a lot of places are almost out of them. Anyway, what did you guys get?

  • My local stores have stacks of them. I never got any as the kids haven't shown any interest and they already have a massive Infinity and Skylander collection. I did grab the last two Smash bros adaptor bundle though.

  • Picked up 4 on the way to work (Kirby, Marth, Link and Mario) from Big W. Stock wise they have a limited few remaining.

    Going to get Luigi, Zelda and Toon Link when they come out :)
    Hopefully they release a Lucina amiibo as well, one of my favorite FE characters

  • I picked up Kirby cause he is cute and Yoshi cause currently "he" is listed to be usable in the most games.

  • Link. Waiting for Zelda. Tempted to get kirby because his cute. Would of got Yoshi but didn't see one.

    I will get Kirby, the only player I have always played in battles on SSB

  • I got Link because he unlocks the spinner in Hyrule Warriors, thought about grabbing another one since I didn't get the SSBU adaptor bundle(some jerk bought two and there were only three), probably would've grabbed DK or Wii Fit Trainer.

    • Was probably Cake.

    • There were 4 people at the Target I got mine from before it opened and when I got mine I saw they only had 3 and I knew some people were going to be disappointed. But I heard JB Hi-Fis had a lot lying.

    I grabbed one of each. Target had run out of all but Pikachu and Mario by 8:15, so I picked the remainder up from Big W when they opened. As for why… Well I collect figurines and these are some lovely little Nintendo figures with the added bonus that they actually have some functionality.

  • Mario. Simply because all the other left didn't interest me. Also seems to be everyone avoiding Mario which in my eyes makes him more unique LOL!

    And he is Amiibo No.1

  • I got a Link one because I play Toon Link and Ganondorf primarily and thought it would be a good contrast. I also bought my brother a Samus.

    When I was lined up, I saw a guy buy all 12 for his son. Maybe someone should have told him they don't unlock the characters like in Skylanders.

    I am probably going back today to buy a Donkey Kong or a Marth because my Link and Samus look good.

  • I don't have a Wii U or even the New 3DS yet, but i'm so tempted to buy them just for collection purposes. Had a look at them and the paint job on the figurines are really nice. Wouldn't mind just buying it just for display. Will definitely want to get a Pitt one if it comes out. The Link one looks pretty good too.

      They are absolutely lovely! Both in and out of the box.

      • And also in the game, when they kick your butt because you trained Link to DODGE ALL OF MY ATTACKS PLZ STOP, LINK!

        • Link is awesome, but PITT ALL THE WAY!!! They haven't even started selling the NFC adaptors for the old 3DS have they?

        • @Encipher: Dunno. Wii-U all the way baby!

          Also, Pit is very soon. I believe he comes out next week.

          Or maybe February.

        • @FrankMcFuzz: ZOMG, must get Pitt. Will train him if I ever bite the bullet on the New 3DS or a Wii U!

  • Purchased all I could from Target…

    Mario, Peach, Pikachu, Wii Fit Trainer and Villager.

    Will slowly obtain the others and train like crazy!
