How can people tell which print an Amiibo is from? Is it the stamped number on the package?
Click to expand...
Stamp on the back is the easiest way. The first two numbers are the week of production from that year and the third number is a 4 or 5. 4 for 2014 and 5 for 2015. Match it up with the CSPIA months of production and you'll know which you have. :)

For example, my OG Villager says 394W2 on the back. Week 39 in 2014. The last 2 characters are the factory it was made at.

If you ask me, I can't tell the difference between any of the reprints besides the Villager and maybe Marth. Shulk and Ike were exactly the same and people have said Wii Fit Trainer had differences. Seeing both of my Wii Fit Trainers side by side, I see no difference in the figures themselves. The back of the box is the only difference...


Honestly fellas, with how hard it is to get Wii Fit Trainers, Villagers, etc.. We need to just be concerned about securing them in the first place.

The easiest way Ive seen is the reprints have a picture on the back different from the originals. Includes a 3ds scanning the amiibo. Id show pictures but dont know how to on phone.

I have yet to even see a GS with used amiibo, would be nice if they spread around the used stock.

Also: Amazon.co.uk and Amazon.de both have Little Mac up right now

Thanks for the heads up on little mac. I managed to grab little mac and WFT from amazon.de I needed those. I also saw villager was available but missed him.

 
WFT is up on amazon.co.uk 12.99 need 20$ purchase for free ship tho

Edit : looks like it may be backordered but possible in stock tomorrow.... good luck!

Just got my WFT delivered from Japan. You people can go ahead and waste your days with "flickering" on Amazon - whatever the fuck that means, while I enjoy my WFT I got for roughly what one at MSRP + shipping would cost (maybe a few dollars more). But it was worth the extra couple bucks to not have to deal with that bullshit

I just went to gamestop and bought it for msrp, should I make a post purporting my glory? Lol whatever makes you feel better for spending more than you should on the same figure.
 
Am I the only one who really wants to buy the pac-man amiibo primarily for the MK8 racing suit? Anyone have any information regarding the possibility of amiibo cards because I'd be all over a pac-man card to get the suit. A buck be much better than $13.

I also was able to get WFT from GS. I have to say that it feels good to know that I do not have to arrive hours before open to get Dark Pit. I will try and place online order from BB to get US and use GC b/ it feels good to not stress if I miss a small preorder window. Kicking myself for not ordering Pal at the same time to reduce shipping and not having to worry about ordering her later.

Funny you think that they'll only charge a buck when they finally introduce the card amiibo. Lol!

They are about $1 a card. You could already order them for that price in Japan. It's actually like 500 or 600 yen for a pack of 5.

Misremembered. It's 1620 yen for 5x 3-card packs. That's $0.87 a card.

Umm, that's roughly $4 - $5...

1620 yen is about $13 too. About $.87c - $1 a card which isn't too bad, until you realize Pokemon cards are $.40c roughly here (based on $4 10 card packs). But these do have chips in them so maybe that's worth the double cost.

5 packs, 3 cards in each, for 1620 yen.
It's not a bad price for a card with a readable chip in it to me.
 
Since we're on the topic of Amiibo cards: 

1)  Did they ever say anything about Smash cards/non-Animal Crossing cards?  All I recall seeing are Animal Crossing

2)  Have they confirmed distribution?  Will these be set, or more like trading cards where they're blind-packed (truly hope not...)?

Just got into amiibos. Any sales or deals for the older series?
Click to expand...
Only really find deals on commons and those are few and far between. You can however find deals locally by buying lots. The older a rare amiibo is the higher the value typically. Honestly though start small and go from though. Trying to collect all of them will drive you insane!

Unless your rich then just check eBay :p

RUN get out while you still can!!!

Pretty much this. The only reason I even got into them was for Mario Party. Then my coworker gave me 19 amiibos to build a computer for him. You realize what had to happen next. Luckily I sold a ton of old gamecube games on Ebay and out of pocket net loss was $150 to complete the collection. At least now going forward I am going to skip amiibo I just do not like or care for, i.e palutena manhands, olimar, entire Animal Crossing series. Of course I say this now, who knows when they actually launch! :p

As someone who spent close to $500 on just the available Smash Bros line I could get my hands on, I can say I'm not ashamed. These are cool little figures, but if you don't have time to hunt for them or the ludicrous amount of money needed to get them all, stay far away

I may be one of the few, but I could care less about collecting rare amiibos, and even less about about collecting a series/all. All I want are a few commons to use for MP10, mostly, and that's it. So, with that clarified, any current deals on common amiibos? My first one was a Yoshi less than $5 at Gamestop.
