    I'll tell ye this for free...this whole lack of stock has made me absolutely collecting crazy...

    Just ordered two Marth's in the hopes I can trade for a WFT or Villager. Can't find them anywhere at a reasonable price.

    Can any one confirm that Amiibo are actually region free?


  • Registered Users Posts: 664 ✭✭✭Tomo.Murphy


    I read on IGN that they're region free. Whether you choose to believe them or not though....


  • Registered Users Posts: 10,381 ✭✭✭✭Allyall


    The article..

    http://ie.ign.com/articles/2014/11/11/nintendo-amiibos-are-not-region-locked


    EDIT..

    HOLY CRAP...

    http://mynintendonews.com/2014/12/10/a-legless-peach-amiibo-has-sold-for-25100-on-ebay/


    Legless Peach!! :D


    Double Edit..
    It's supposed to say $2,510. Not $25,100.

    Triple Edit.

    Comments say it's actually $25,100.

    I was in New York two weeks ago, I picked up a Kirby in Toys R' Us and a Villager and Yoshi in Nintendoworld.

    I tried Kirby and Yoshi with Mario Kart 8 as soon as I got back, they worked just fine!

    Yes they are.


    What's the point of the nickname and whatnot menu options on the wii u's settings screens?

    Just got my amiibo delivery from Tesco direct at my nearby parcel motel this morning (I love getting mail on Saturdays! :D). Ordered wii fit trainer and Marth, they look awesome. I might have them to spare though if my order from Amazon.fr comes through in a week or two, still waiting on a dispatch notice. Just kinda paranoid that they don't get more stock in, but assuming they deliver my order successfully (including a villager and kirby, along with trainer and marth), I might be selling these two spares. (I ordered through Tesco but when I saw them on Amazon.fr I ordered the 4 I needed from there, and sent an email to Tesco to cancel my order, but they had dispatched by the time they got around to my request, delayed customer service lol. I shoulda just called them, the instant chat didn't seem to be working either. P.S. Sorry for giving you my life story :pac:)

    I'm waiting for Villager and Marth from Amazon.fr as well.

    If anybody is still looking for the less common ones Amazon.de seemed to have them all in stock again in earlier today.

    Got my Wii Fit Trainer but didn't get Star Fox, rather I got a Yoshi instead, Little Mac and Pit seem to be the scarce of the next batch, wish Pikachu had come in the cosplay outfits.


  • Registered Users Posts: 482 ✭✭souleater3000


    Has anybody got their order from Nippon -Yasan yet? I can't remember who ordered from there and posted the link, Im just wondering if they are that good, order WFT from there might order more but not sure if its really worth it


  • Registered Users Posts: 10,555 ✭✭✭✭OwaynOTT
