They wouldn't give me tracking for the $3 option so I didn't take it. Ah well, I'm not one to ship a lot so I wouldn't know the best methods to bring the price down.

They lied to you, they can put tracking on first class mail. The postal employees are all ignorant a-holes. At least in my town. It's disgusting how they treat people. I'm used to it since I go there a lot but I feel horrible when someone goes in there for the first time and sees how horrible of people they are. Today I asked for an international pouch for my label because I ran out, they told me to go to office max and buy one, when I can see they have over 100 behind the counter. They offer them free online but they guy wouldn't even let me have 1. Really put me in a bad mood all day.

blueweltall said:
Does that label includes tracking because tracking cost about $1.05 from the post office. So about at least $4 to ship one amiibo that isn't Bowser or King Dedede.

Tracking is free if you print the label online.
 
Finally bought Smash earlier today lol, can't wait to tear into it. Not sure why I waited this long but Amiibo craze has flared up all sorts of (reasonable) impulse!

lol what a fool, I would had just bought it from amazon when they come in stock, free shipping and no tax. 18, bet he looked like a total jackass walking out with that many.

Most states charge tax on Amazon now, so you must be lucky. Sonic and Mega Man are commons at this point, I've seen them several times.

Haven't played Smash in a while, but when I actually used the Amiibo for its intended purpose, those guys can be pretty difficult. It's kind of funny watching an all-Amiibo fight.

Buy a lifeprooof waterproof case. I spend lots of time playing candy crush in the shower, I love it.

Mario gold back on the cpsia page, still shows 2 months. That would be shocking to me if it's easier to get than Charizard/ness

Doubt it, it could be in production from Dec 28 through Jan 3rd on just 1 production line for all we know.

Sheik has to be the worst looking amiibo. She's the first one that I've gotten that looks like a hastily made piece of plastic junk.

Yeah, we got some in the other day and I was going to pick one up until I actually looked at her and decided against it.

That pains me, as that is the ONE amiibo that I truly want, and have no way of getting, as I have no Target's around. I'l have to take to eBay to get one. I just hope I can get one for a decent price. I hope the baby enjoys her first amiibo!

brickseek is showing 2 Villager amiibo in stock 20-30 minutes away from me. Is it worth the chase? lol

Do you happen to live near Vallejo, CA? I went to that Target on Tuesday because it showed 2 Villagers in stock on Brickseek. Drove there from Vacaville, and nothing. Checked the aisle, asked the workers, and checked the scanner. None in inventory.

I just logged on to ask if I should pick Sheik up since I am seeing some available locally but you just answered my question :p

You should already be able to tell it's the US version because of the "6+" in the top-right corner of the packaging.

I just want to make it clear that no mint na rosalina was harmed in the taking of that picture! The card arrived all jacked up, so I'm going to display it opened in her room.

Sheik isn't great, but I still think Lucario looks the worst.

The best are Dedede and Bowser.

I've heard Pit looks good, but that's the only one I haven't seen in the wild (and thus it's the only one I don't have :whistle2:(  .)

Pit is probably my favorite of them all. I am looking forward to the dark version being released.

 
So I wrote a small novel on rarity on r/amiibo and got, of course, middling feedback, so I will post it here for more of the same. I trimmed it down so it's not so much of a novel. Enjoy, or don't!
 
A New Rarity List
 
The proceeding will have two values assigned: Shelf and Release Rarity. Shelf Rarity will simply be rated as Easy and Difficult. Easy being figures you find in every store even after release; difficult being figures you won't find in stores, at all, after the wave has passed.
 
For Release Rarity, this concerns figures currently being released (in this case, wave 3), waves to come (wave 4, smb wave 1) and figures in unassigned waves. With stock more prevalent, the difficulty in finding some figures eases. These will be rated Common, Uncommon and Rare. Semi-Rare and Unicorn are unnecessary tiers.
 
Common will be in the same category as Easy – in every store and being restocked actively.
 
Uncommon will be in between – these will turn up in more stores than they won't but restocking will peter out over time as the wave passes. These will essentially move from Easy to Difficult. These will be the figures you can skip initially but need to grab before the initial supply dwindles.
 
Rare will be the same as Difficult, as these figures will likely never hit store shelves and are guaranteed to be difficult. Don't preorder at your own risk.
 
Release Rarity:
 
Common: Bowser, Toon Link, Mega Man, Sonic, Luigi (SMB), Peach (SMB), Bowser (SMB), Yoshi (SMB), Toad (SMB), Pac-Man, Wario, Charizard, Dr. Mario, Ganondorf, Bowser Jr., Jigglypuff
 
Uncommon: Sheik, King Dedede, Greninja, Zero Suit Samus, Falco, Olimar
 
Rare: Ike, Rosalina (EX), Lucario (EX), Meta Knight (EX), Shulk (EX), Gold Mario (EX), Silver Mario (EX?), Robin, Lucina, Pit, Dark Pit, Palutena, Ness, ROB, Mr Game & Watch, Duck Hunt Dog
 
Shelf Rarity
 
Easy: Mario, Luigi, Link, Zelda, Toon Link, Peach, Yoshi, Kirby, Pikachu, Samus, Fox, Donkey Kong Bowser, Diddy Kong, Bowser Jr., Toon Link, Mega Man, Sonic, Luigi (SMB), Peach (SMB), Bowser (SMB), Yoshi (SMB), Toad (SMB), Pac-Man, Wario, Charizard, Dr. Mario, Ganondorf, Jigglypuff
 
Difficult: Wii Fit Trainer, Villager, Marth, Pit, Captain Falcon, Little Mac, Sheik, King Dedede, Greninja, Zero Suit Samus, Falco, Olimar, Ike, Rosalina (EX), Lucario (EX), Meta Knight (EX), Shulk (EX), Gold Mario (EX), Silver Mario (EX?), Robin, Lucina, Pit, Dark Pit, Palutena, Ness, ROB, Mr Game & Watch, Duck Hunt Dog

You put Ness twice...twice.

Is it just me or is regular Pit not in that list more than once?

And there are two different categories, release rarity and shelf rarity, so Ness should be in both lists, just not twice in each list.

It's all subjective and totally based on location, and would get waaay too confusing to try and keep up with a list like this especially in a thread post.
