    Speaking of trading cards, the binders and pocketed pages are great for storing the Amiibo cards. I've got my cards in the same binder as my e-Reader cards (yes I collect those too). I hope the official Animal Crossing portfolio comes out in North America though.

    Those boxes are cool but kinda expensive. I wonder how many amiibos you can stack in those boxes before the box on the botttom starts to cave in?

    I think it was mainly the first print of Marth that had the goofy face. They seemed to have improved that in the recent restocks. I have the other fire emblem characters and they are all nice.

    I'm not sure it would work for all of them, but baseball/trading card plastic cases with a door hinge on top that hold like 200 cards or so (they're kind of square around the girth but length/width is a rectangle they might work standing on their side. I just have them open on the desk here to the right of my laptop and left of my 2 work screens. I have like 14 of them I think and I spread them tightly in three rows deep. Once I can find a Donkey Kong and Pit, not sure what I'd add. Perhaps I'll eventually get Kirby and Pikachu since they are mascots too of the 8bit era...not planning to get the Mario crew though Dr Mario is tempting but so overly run it's a snap to find them at any target.

    Man, I don't mean to start a debate here, but do those encased Amiibos remind anyone else of the VGA plastic coffin?

    Now that you mention it, yes, though I was already thinking those hobby clear plastic boxes that hold action figures, models or baseballs in them but they're not sealed. I've got one with a prototype 1950s baseball travel game that's family made (full version sold), a schuco ferari wind up car in another, and a third larger of glass/wood, has a Japanese mechanical light up driving car that's spotless painted like Herbie (box in closet.) I don't bother much but I have a few lying around I've picked up here or there.

    eh not really. Your not gonna be seeing people asking thousands for a sealed amiibo because its in a plastic case that cost less then 2$.

    So the 30th anniversary Modern Color Mario is going to be sold as a wal-mart exclusive on Black Friday.
    Yeah right, like Im going to go anywhere near a wal-mart on black friday. It would be easier to get if it was a Kazakhstan excusive.

    I'd like to get the Animal Crossing Amiibo figurines. Right now, I just have two Series 1 Animal Crossing Amiibo card packs. Of all of the currently announced AC Amiibo, I'd probably get them all if finances weren't a concern.

    Im surprised nobody mentioned the Zelda Twilight Princess amiibo, the Gold Mega Man amiibo, and the addition to Cloud in smash which means there will be a Cloud amiibo as well.

    The wolf Link amiibo is the best looking one to date. I'd like to get it but I think its only in a bundle with Twilight Princess and I already have the Gamecube and Wii versions. The Mega Man one is just lazy. It should be in a whole different pose. I saw what may be Ryu that was leaked. That looks nice as well

    And given the behavior of people for years now there, probably safer too.

    I'd like KK Slider but the rest, won't touch them so he's out. I've still not come across DK or Pit still which is annoying. I got a tip on where to find Ike among a few others tomorrow morning, but I just don't want to get involved in that. I forgot I'd buy Ryu immediately if I saw that as SF2 was my game for a couple years in the arcade and SNES. Cloud you couldn't give me.

    Did anyone pick up Mewtwo today? I did, and thought it was a bit weird to just be able to get one. No hassle, just asked for one from the amiibo stack behind the counter at the FLGS.

    Maybe non-Fire Emblem, non-exclusive amiibo (and Greninja) are becoming non-a pain in the butt to get now.

    I saw a few of them when I was out along with the other Animal Crossing singles and package deals. I didn't even realize it was a new amiibo day as they're not for me but it was nice to see plenty of supply not scalped up.

    Anybody get Falco today? I went to best buy and they had them all dumped in a huge pile on the floor. They had the marths in the same way, they just dont care.
    Also, Im really surprised at how popular the mega yarn yoshi is. It seems to be selling for 70-80 on ebay already.

    I think the popularity has zero to do with it being an amiibo.

    Think about it. You often have you ever seen Nintendo sell a knit yarn plush toy instead of the usual cheap felt and stitching beanies and the type in usual mass market cardboard bins? You don't. TO get a yarn yoshi up until now you had to make one, get someone to make it, or find one someone did up on ebay or etsy.

    Here you get this large tall classic green yoshi. Hell I want it, just because it is that, but I won't pay that much for one. I have a mass market pink plush one I got as a carnival game win a little over a year ago on my shelf that's like 8" tall which is the same size as the mega yarn yoshi.
