Are amiibo worth getting now?

Are amiibo worth getting now?

It's worth buying a couple Zelda ones so you can resell them for 10 times the profit after they go out of print in a month.

Depends whether you want nintendo autism figures and own nintendo games

I bought Megaman just to have a cheap little Megaman sitting around and used him in smash bros for like a day before the novelty wore off

I just get the characters I like. Particularly the characters that would never get merch otherwise like Captain Falcon.

Did they not produce many guardian amiibo or what? Its sold out already.

>only gives you ancient parts

WOW IT'S FUCKING NOTHING!

I found mine at walmart about 3 days after they came out, they only had one left.

Guardian shipped 2 per case while others were 4 per case.

Get them while you can because Mario Odessey will be a new wave of Amiibo and putting Zelda out of print

I feel like since the BoTW amiibo dont give the cool zelda items like the others do that they wont be worth a lot. Guardian might be just because its cool.

wahoo...

Is Amiibo essentially a Zelda exclusive line now?

Because that's all they ever fucking make now

It's a evil cycle, Zelda Amiibos had the most/"best" uses so they sold better, so they make more Zelda Amiibos which means more games that use Zelda Amiibos.

Seriousle, one wou8ld think the Mario Amiibo would be the most useful one, but nope, it's LONK.

...

I went to gamestop to get one, they were sold out but the guys offered to order one for me and I got it mailed to my house.

>The abundance of mario amiibo means they drop in price quicker

>Amiibos are somehow unscathed, but Mecha King Ghidora's cybernetic horn breaks off :'(
> I'm so fucking lazy I haven't glued it back and just stare at it while masturbating.

Thank you

I only bought the triple pack of ROB, Game and Watch and Duck Hunt cause I thought they were nice

mcdonalds toys with physical dlc were never, and will never be worth getting

so bayonetta and cloud are cancelled right

>"AMIIBO ARE SUCH A GOOD DEAL BECAUSE IT'S FREE DLC FOREVER!"
>Nintendo just creates new amiibo for every game and old amiibo get forgotten entirely or just add one extremely small benefit for the big amiibo like link or mario

>free dlc
>its already on the disc you paid for
nintendies are insane. i agree with your point too.

There are entries for 4 new amiibo in a smash lineup that got cleared this month.

This is becoming more true. Before you only needed to own one amiibo for each character and get the same benefits (Smash Yoshi is the same as SM Yoshi), but with BoTW each individual amiibo can have different rewards now (think 8-bit Link vs. BoTW Link).

Not just that, usually the """""content""""" from amiibos is complete trash. For example, the old tunics you get from Zelda amiibos are pretty much unusable in-game because they require star fragments to be upgraded, so they get out-leveled by your other equipment VERY quickly.

I got the 8-bit Link and that's all I care about

Aren't they already out?

Not that it really matters, they will get about as much use as Duck Hunt at best.

Man, i wish DUCK HUNT had more uses.

Hunt as A Wolf-Link reskin companion and Lightgun "Bow" and BIRD MEAT drops in BotW would been cool for example, they really should gone all in with the crossover shit for the amiibos.

No

They upped the price

The market is also crashing
Disney Infinity closed shop last year
Skylanders isn't doing annual releases anymore
LEGO Dimensions was quietly cancelled
Amiibos keep clogging the pegs while only a select few figures sale

Now is the worst time to get in. Wait fir the crash then buy cheap. It's not like you'll find any of the new releases day one anyways.

This is best amiibo, right?

Just buy a reusable NFC chip, or several that can only have one per chip.

Makes things a hell of a lot cheaper, especially since the only way to get a Shiek amiibo now is to pay scalpers a fuckton of dosh just to get your hands on one.

not so much "worth it" at scalper prices, but the bonuses they provide are cool.

people still fall for the amiiboo train?

Nope its king dedede

>Animal Crossing amiibo are $4
>LoZ amiibo are $50+

>Walk into walmart
>Entire self is pack full of unsold Bokoblins

What were they thinking? They could have done a Lynel and have it sell as much as the Guardian.

I bought a Guardian amiibo because I liked BotW and it is only only amiibo that I could see being displayed inside my house. If you really wanted the amiibo bonuses it would probably better just to get programmable nfc cards and doing it yourself for a fraction of the cost.

I bought all of the BOTW amiibos except for the Bokoblin, the employee tried really hard to get me to buy it like they were desperate to get rid of them.

Amiibos were always worth getting if just for the CUTEness of some of them (particularly the Kirby and Yarn Yoshi lines)
I own ~10 or so and have maybe 2x actually used them on a game

Lynel would have sold even worse. As they should have. Amiibo should have just stuck to major characters so they felt special and collectible. Now when you have generic colorful animal crossing animals and generic enemies they really do just feel like lines of mcdonalds toys

Animal Crossing Amiibos are available in dirt-cheap card variations that have identical functions outside Amiibo Party and that game was bundled with the one Waifufags care about (Isabelle).

Mind you while the cards are cheap the sheer amount of them are still jewy especially since the "Collectors Card" part means getting what you want is up to luck unless someone is actually selling it stand alone, and where i live no one does that.

COPPER NEVER EVER.

I dunno, i would have bought a Lynel, they are cute, but yeah, should stuck to major characters, hell replace Bokoblin with a "Champions" group one that gives you a random Champion weapon.

That way thou would capitalize on Fishfags,Giantessfags and Not-Falcofags in one fell swoop.

But nope, gotta have the ugly not-orc that dies by the dozen drops shit you will be swimming in, I mean, Guardian looks cool and the drop aren't bad, Bokoblin lacks even that.

>$50 pvc that look like shit

Mine came in the mail today senpai.

Never saw one in a store but I ordered it online a few days ago.

>buy Waluigi at full price because I think he'll be a quick seller
>goes on sale for $5 almost fucking immediately

I'm still mad. And I never fucking bought the Silver Mario because I didn't have the Gold one, but now that the Gold one is fucking everywhere, Silver is nowhere to be found. And I can't find a Peach fucking anywhere. She's my last one in the Mario set.

It kinda bugs me that they made the BOTW amiibos $16 instead of $12. I hope they aren't all like this from now on.

>tfw I bought BotW Archer Link, Zelda, and the Guardian on day one and didn't buy Horseback Link or the Bokoblin
>they're the only ones readily available now

Should I try to wait them out and see if they get to under $8? Or should I get them while I can?

Bokoblin will probably drop, Rider might not.

I mean look at those Bokoblin drops, where i live the stores are trying to sell em for 30$.

Was all the hubbub about Zelda dropping a Hylian Shield a big fat lie?

If there's a BotW Gerudo Link figurine, I'll SoF it day1.

Willing to multi-man it, too.

They'll do a second wave of BotW with the 4 champions and a Lynel or Hinox or something.

Not even kidding. It's pretty fucking likely to occur. Two Links and a god damn Bokoblin but no 4 Champs? Yeah right.

Got in 2015:
>Meta Knight
>Rosalina
>Sheik
>Pikachu
>8-bit Mario From Mario Maker
>Mewtwo

Got last year:
>Ganondorf

Got last few weeks:
>Wolf Link
>Guardian

Don't see myself getting anymore anytime soon, Maybe Fierce Deity if it happens. I'm not getting Switch until late 2018 probably.

Ordered one of these so i can use the fierce diety items early and not have to pay millions for a few zelda amiibo

Are we posting collections? Ok, here it goes.

Have
>First run Marth
>Japanese First run Villager
>Link (Smash)
>Ness (European. I had no idea Gamestop was going to restock the fuck out of him)
>Mega Man
>Lucas
>Wario (Smash)
>Wario (Mario series. Need dem purple overalls)
>Mewtwo
>Captain Falcon
>Fox
>Zero Suit Samus
>Sheik
>Ganondorf
>Link (BOTW)
>Midna
>Dr. Mario
>Ryu
>Mewtwo

God I hope the rest (Especially Wario) become useful someday.

Toon Zelda drops Hero's Shield (The shield from WW), Smash Zelda drops Twilight Bow (Which is supposedly REALLY fucking broken) BotW Zelda drop Radiant Shield instead of Heros Shield but is otherwise the same as Toon.

Hylian Shield is a in-game thing and no Amiibo drops it to my knowledge, you can get it in the Castle.

That said, the Zeldas are actually among the "better" Amiibos, because getting good shield early can last you a while and as noted the bow is broken amnd both bow and SHield tend to last longer then the Melee weapons (Which the Boomerangs count as)

Meanwhile Dorf has absurdly low chance for a sub-par sword.

Disney cancelled because Disney are morons. People will spend anything to have shitty star wars/marvel/Disney figures. Just look at trash like funko pop

Nobody really cared for skylanders, desu. Not even crash or bowser helped.

Lego is just way too expensive for what you get, especially when they want $30 for a 15 minute level. They have pulled back in Stock since they had the arrogance that the first wave would sell out, which it didn't until it was massively discounted. Also warner bros seriously needs to add Disney/star wars/marvel properties

Nintendo figures will continue to come out because Nintendo is a toy company.

Links are still the best because I'm a sucker for classic outfits.

No, but I'm glad Nintendo gave me a use for the only one I purchased a year ago, Toon Link. I did notice they have Animal Crossing amiibos finally so I might pick up an Isabelle and Tom Nook if/when they announce an Animal Crossing Switch game with Amiibo functionality.

Too bad you need fucking star fragments to upgrade them.

Yes, you can only get it in-game from the castle and buying it back in Tarreytown. The royal guard and soldier shield is pretty good though same with a lot of the herbs and root vegetables.

>pretty much every Link gives different rewards
>Toon Zelda, Smash Zelda, and BOTW Zelda all give the same shit
Why do they do this?

How do I get amiibo items without buying this shit? Can I just use my phone? It has NFC.

Doesn't this just edit current a current amiibo's data? How could you emulate a Fierce Deity Link with that?

Ill get one on clearance like I get all my amiibo
I do love the minor enemy amiibos too, like waddle Dee and boo

I would wait for night time repeatedly for star fragments if I could get my hands on the OOT Link.

That nigger is gone everywhere and fuck paying some scalper.

They never have been and never will be

Yeah, i kinda forgot to add "non-costume", but between the star fragments (That the Zeldas and Dorf can drop, funny how that works huh.) they are more just for "Cosmetic" then "powerful" ina P2W sense.

But really look at the fucking Bokoblin drops, even scanning like 1 "Non-compatible" Amiibos gives better/more useful shit, and for the price of one Bokoblin you can several Amiibo card packs.

>That the Zeldas and Dorf can drop
They can?? I've never gotten one from mine.

You can buy amiibo spoofing devices, but they're like $40. They do let you simulate any amiibo though, and even better, they let you not give Nintendo money for this money gouging shit.

>Go to target see they have Wolf Link
>Price was 90 buck, but I bought other things so think nothing of it
>Look at receipt realize it was TP HD for 60 bucks
>return it
I just wanted a wolf companion bros.

The charts I've seen like say they can.

Probably super low chance so you've gotta savescum to get em unless you just want to get them naturally.

They can, but since it is the rarest of the "Rare Gems" the rate is basically lower then getting their "Unique" items, but it is a chance.

It's not fucking amazing but they basically have the better "trash" pool to draw from compared to say, Toon Link.

Or Bokoblin.

I got their last standalone one when I picked up my BOTW copy on a whim.

16 bucks and Wolf Link sucks in game. Still got my delicious Midna though. :3c

Those unique items will take a few scans to get.

I have the bow and ganons sword, shieks mask, epona, and two of three twilight link clothes.

never were

never will be
you can literally hack any amiibo into existence that y ou need.

I hate amiibos. Locking content behind them will make it such a bitch in the future to get that content when amiibos run out of stock.

Unfortunately, retards bought them in droves so them and their day-1 disk-locked DLC cancer are here to stay.

I wish there were more fucking mounts to display weapons in your house.

There are 3 champion melee weapons, one champion bow, and one champion shield.

I can display the Wind Waker Shield, the Hylian Shield, and the Champion Shield nicely, and I can display the Champion Bow and Twilight Bow, but there's no really important third bow, and there's no more room on the melee weapon displays to show the 3 champion weapons AND Ganon's Sword AND the Wind Waker Boomerang.

REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE.

What should my third bow be?

>>return it
>standalone one
Do you guys realize that Wolf Link's hearts are tied to your TPHD save file? If you didn't play TPHD he can only have 3 hearts and he'll get one-shotted constantly.
Mine has 18 and has never died.

yes yes goy....guy.

Yes I returned it. I can just pirate TP and I'm not spending 60 dollars on glorified DLC.

Can you inject a save file with the Brazilian method?

IDK. I'm pretty new to the entire thing tbqh. Just been playing BotW.

Agreed. At first I just had the three magic wands.

Now I just have a collection of folk shields like the fishing and hunting ones.

yes, someone should be able to upload a fresh save with the amiibo drops

I really don't get what they were thinking there. At least with the Guardian one, you get ancient parts. I'm glad I picked one of those up on a whim when I saw one, since they're evidently hard to come by.

files for the Majora's mask amiibo have already been datamined

Yeah, but as far as I can tell that hardware only lets you change statistic data on the amiibo, not let you completely change it to another one

I went through my shopping centre last week, everywhere was sold out besides EB games who had one left that was from cancelled order in the backroom.

My collection isn't that big.

>Samus Aran
>Captain Falcon
>Fox McCloud
>Ness
>Inkling Boy
>Inkling Girl
>Yarn Yoshi (Pink, really wanted Green or even blue)

Really want:
>Ryu
>Mega Man
>R.O.B.
>Zero Suit Samus
>Callie
>Marie
>8-bit Link
>8-bit Mario
>Link [Archer]
>Guardian

I actually had the Archer one preordered. I put $5 down for it but didn't pick it up because I was thinking about just saving money by that point. Did I fuck up?

Are there list of what in-game shit you get for each amiibo. So far I only know Wolf-Link give you cute doggo so I'm getting that.

...

Smash Link gives Epona

>costs 450$ to own a complete copy of super smash kerfuffle, not including the game itself

god damn. and now zeldas going the same way?

Why not have this unlockable in the game? I hate modern gaming so much sometimes.

Can you user armor on top of the tunics?

no

...

>A year ago, all my local stores were full of Smash Link Amiibos
>I didn't get one, because I didn't have a WiiU, and didn't care about Smash
>Now that I want one, the only way to get one is paying a scalper ~$50

My last hope is getting some friends from my hometown to scout the local stores. It's kind of a small town, so I'm hoping their stock hasn't been picked over.

It allows you to replace amiibo files user.

Also you see that black round thingy in the box? that's a blank NFC tag which allows you to emulate any Amiibo you want.

how much for this? can you infinitely overwrite them?

That's pretty fucking neat. Sure as hell beats shilling out hundreds on happy meal paper weights.
