I think Mario Party U would be a perfect Amiibo game.
oh nearly missed this. you weren't paying attention during the time of the Furbies and Beanie babies the same thing 's happened ad people were alot weirder about those.Paying that much for something like a Stadium Events or a gold NWC cart is one thing, but to get that high for a brand new figure that's defective is another. Again, it sounds like shill bids.
Yo , when I made that post I wasn't trying to deny anything. Just letting you know how nuts the world is about stuff like this being deformed or not. Look up the Furbies & Beanie babies being defective as with this and how much people still payed for them.Why some of you are denying shill bidding is true is beyond me? Oh well, I guess this has to be true 100%.....
Exactly. Both are possible, which means I can believe someone would pay that much for a Nintendo collectable.Yo , when I made that post I wasn't trying to deny anything.

I'd like to amiibo to eventually unlock characters, you know? Like a Kirby amiibo unlocks the ability to play as Yarn Kirby in Yoshi's Wooly World, or something along those lines.
Why? If it's a Yoshi game why do you need it unless you have Kirby Amiibo?
I'm sorry but if you have people willing to buy your little toys then they should get something more than those who don't.. Even if it's something as trivial as Yarn Kirby in Yoshi's Yarn World or whatever. Don't want to buy Amiibo's? That's cool.. The game is completely playable and you miss nothing.. You do buy Amiibo's well since you spent 12 extra dollars put your Kirby on the WiiU Pad and you get Kirby In your game.
So is there any Amiibo figures that are a must-buy for Wii U gamers? I know Nintendo wants to sell them as well as the Skylanders figures but I hope none of them are mandatory for any of their games.

Earlier in the week, Nintendo stated that they would not replenish stock of certain Amiibo figurines once they have sold through their initial shipment. However, in a new statement e-mailed to Siliconera this afternoon, Nintendo of America said that certain sold-out Amiibo figures may return to the market after all.
Nintendos statement read as follows:
Some amiibo were very popular at launch, and it is possible that some amiibo in the United States, Canada and Latin America may not be available right now due to high demand and our efforts to manage shelf space during the launch period. Certain sold-out amiibo may return to these markets at a later stage. We are continually aiming to always have a regular supply of amiibo in the marketplace and there are many waves of amiibo to come. The distribution and availability of amiibo in other regions around the world may be different.Going by that statement, it appears Nintendo of America are at least considering bringing certain Amiibo back to market once theyve sold out. Perhaps theres hope for Villager, Marth and Wii Fit Trainerwhich are currently in short supplyafter all.

Last week, Nintendo released Super Smash Bros. for Wii U in Japan. The game sold 227,527 copies at retail.
Additionally, Japanese sales tracker Media Create added in their weekly report that Nintendo’s Amiibo figurines sold 104,000 units across 18 characters. Of all the Amiibos, Link was the most popular, likely because his Amiibo is also compatible with Hyrule Warriors and unlocks a special weapon in that game.
Food for thought:
You may recall Nintendo of America mentioning that Link was also the most popular Amiibo in the U.S., likely for the same reason.
