Don't talk politics or argue.

Don't piss off the mods with reporting posts. If you can't take what someone else is saying don't report them unless it violates the rules of CAG.

San Rio cards available via order pickup or drive up only next Friday. Like the other limited items so no lining up at the store.

I’m assuming they won’t show up on the website until Friday. Anyone have an idea what time they might appear? Midnight?

I thought we were done with scare amiibo!

Usually for the other things it's around 1 am est. But it always varies. And targets website is pretty crappy with stuff like this(it says available but doesn't let you order, etc)

 

[Rig]

I’m gonna try for the cards (and prolly fail).

I forgot to preorder the upcoming three amiibo...so there’s that, too. Best place to try retail purchase? I haven’t had to go in store for a Smash amiibo in a very long time.

I have a wicker basket next to my nightstand and kiss them before bedtime.

I bought these to display amiibos but they've been discontinued for a while and thus now overpriced.

PowerA amiibo End Level Display

PDP Donkey Kong Display

A few Etsy sellers have made their own.

I intend to eventually get clear plastic risers and put them all in a detolf.

I just sat down last night and really took a look at my collection with the new stuff coming next week, and realized I need to get some protective cases and a better storage system as I'm starting to run out of room.

I didn't realize the price of some of them had skyrocketed so hard, and now I feel much less bad for hardly using most of them. Though also filled with regret at having passed up the Monster Hunter Stories series when they were stupid cheap, and that damn Qbby one

According to the CAG Twitter, the Sanrio cards will be available starting 8am CT/9am ET on Friday 3/26 for pick up only, and limited to 2 per person.

I have no idea how many Nintendo is releasing but these have the potential to be targeted by scalpers because of how relatively cheap they are, so order as soon as they become available.

According to the CAG Twitter, the Sanrio cards will be available starting 10am CT/9am ET on Friday 3/26 for pick up only, and limited to 2 per person.

Just wanted to point out the time listed in this post is wrong for anyone wanting to get these. They go up at 8AM CT/9AM ET.

Honestly I think its bullshot how Nintendo is doing these cards. If I cant get them, I'll end up just buying some bootleg NFC cards

Thanks for pointing that out, had my times mixed up.

I keep mine in the original packaging [attachment=35441:IMG_20210321_165032.jpg]

It’s been a long time since I’ve been in the amiibo game. I’ve been trimming down my game library and collectibles and decided to look up how much my extras from the initial craze were going for (I have a captain falcon, greninja, dark pit, robin, gold Mario) and was surprised to see how much some of them are going for. I think I gotta sell my open Corrin P2.

It also kinda sucks that I never got to buying Ridley or King K. Rool, but oh well.

 

[Shadowmoses12]

Almost all the monster hunter rise amiibos sold out on Amazon jp except for the dragon one

 

[FuzzmeisterJ]

I mostly just focus on the Zelda amiibas.  They all fit in the pop case from gamestop.

I will celebrate Zelda with my collection as well! : gamecollecting (reddit.com)

I don't think they will be that hard to get. I saw my store is getting more than twice the amount needed to fulfill our Banjo preorders.

Thanks! Ordered one, it might be time to finally take some of my amiibo out of their retail packaging.

Nice! How many amiibo fit in each one of those, roughly?

I use those for Funko Pops. They're pretty great.

 

[8bitlover]

I use these display cases from Daiso. They stack really well too.

Here is my Amiibos in the Daiso cases.[attachment=35448:4F17164B-DB8D-4388-9768-99AC82AA9244.jpeg][attachment=35448:4F17164B-DB8D-4388-9768-99AC82AA9244.jpeg]

 

[elessar123]

I bought a few of those but never liked the slightly raised back half of the base. The baseball ones look better, but they're heavy.

 

[Marbles]

Are the RIse Amiibos Gamestop exclusive?

 

[kmitchell28]

Are the RIse Amiibos Gamestop exclusive?

Individually yes, but the main monster is available in the collectors edition which was available at other retailers.

If anyone decides to cancel their Gamestop Monster Hunter Rise Amiibo, please let me know.

Wait, there are Rabbids amiibo?? I’ve been playing Kingdom Battle, fantastic game! Maybe those are actually little statues about the same size as regular amiibo?

 

[n64ra]

No Rabbids amiibo exist. Similar sized figures: https://www.destructoid.com/stories/mario-rabbids-kingdom-battle-will-utilize-figures-but-not-amiibo-441817.phtml

My MH:Rise Collectors Edition from Amazon and my set of 3 Smash Amiibo from Gamestop shipped today, definitely feeling relieved. Now just waiting on my set of 3 Rise Amiibo from Gamestop to charge/ship

Apparently the 3 rise amiibo now have a release date of March 30.

 

[Blade]

Apparently the 3 rise amiibo now have a release date of March 30.

This is the date I was seeing for the entire month as I tried reserving some on Amazon, Gamestop, and Best Buy. No dice, of course, but I was able to ask for a hold on them in Gamestop YMMV today.

 

[KrayzieKMF]

target has terry, banjo and byleth available for shipping

 

[dgwillia006]

Of course everyone and their grandma restocks the Smash amiibo after Gamestops overpriced ass shipping has charged

[ElvisTheGreat]

Same here. App didn't work. Used mobile browser and hit "check out" like 5-6 times in a row before it finally went through.

 

[KemperJones]

I couldn't check out at all and now they're out of stock.

 

[8bitlover]

Totally FDUP Target had them in the cart couldn’t check out then they went out of stock

 

[Josef]

Tried mobile first at 9, unable to check out.  Switched to laptop but it was too late.  Oh well. 

 

[lilman]

In cart at 9am but couldn't check out. I have a bag of blank nfc tags, so oh well.

-Update- Kept trying and got an order in ^^

 

[Sir_Fragalot]

Ugh can't add to cart anywhere, yet it still says in stock.

 

[yamayama]

Same. I tried switching to different locations and still nothing.

Edit: yooooooooooooo my order went through, keep trying! Krayzie's suggestion worked!

 

[Sir_Fragalot]

Woo hoo, have to drive almost 40 miles both ways but got my cards at another store.
