    Are the pictures Josey Wales posted above not of the actual Animal Crossing amiibos?

    Looks that way but the next picture is of a card for the secretary character(name escapes me). My two most wanted would be KK Slider and Tom Nook. Would love an Ocarina/Majora set too Skull Kid, Tingle and Darunia specifically.

    I see on the Smyths website there are 2 versions of the 8 bit Mario Amiibo. Classic and modern

    Looks like R.O.B will have more than one version too.

    I read yesterday that one of the 8-bit Marios comes packaged with Super Mario Maker (Probably the original) and the other will be behind the counter kind of thing.
    One ROB for Japan (The Red one) and the other for the rest of us.

    Going up to the staff member, checking for listeners and asking in low tones "have you got any, em, any of those... the classic things.... Marios..."
    "Amiibo sir!?"
    "Shhh!! Well, have you?? And can you just pop it into a plain bag please?"

    Whoever designed that box art deserves a raise.

    Got an email and a Little Mac that I had pre ordered on Amazon Italy last december and had forgotten about is now been processed and shipped to me for just under 20 quid !

    Don't really believe it have to wait till it shows up though.

    It's just a shame that the USK rating is so noticeable. It's an annoying part of special editions of Nintendo games in Europe.

    There really is no need for it to be that big, its almost bigger than Mario's head

    Yeah, just standardise it and use the pegi rating for everything

    Looks like I ordered two Pauletina amiibos. So I'll have a spare one in a week or so if anyone needs one

    I'd be interested in taking it.

    For anyone who may have pre-ordered a Yarn Yoshi Amiibo from France, it seems a lot of them were......destroyed?

    Looks like those pesky Metroid picketers went a step further than a petition!

    Kirby's also back in stock online and in most Smyths - except the east of the country. Maybe Ness is there to, like Meta Knight. I like the new surprise/mystery restocking part of collecting Amiibos

    Little Mac is on re-release now in a few places.

    Does anybody know of a good retailer where I could order the Yoshi's Wooly World amiibo bundle? It's sold out on gamestop but it's pretty dear on Amazon.
