    There's a metal sticker that prevents you using them in the pack. You can open the pack along the bottom and use a screw driver or knife to scrape away enough of the sticker for it to work, then glue the pack back together and hope no one notices :D Also, I've seen a Yoshi get shaken out of it's plastic surround so it could be used in-pack, then returned to Smyths.

    I screwed up big time, I was too late to order Yoshi Woolly World with Amiibo, wondering is there anyone in Galway who decided not to get it in the end that I could pick up tomorrow. Please someone help me out

    Name your price dude ;)

    How much value are we taking here. Also is there any way to use the nfc on them without opening the packaging or is that wishful thinking?

    I could only do RRP + postage to me, can't overspend on him as much as i'd like to get him as soon as possible haha. Would've tried get him myself from Smyths this week if I wasn't working!

    I could also possibly swap if that interests you, might have an extra palutena and ganon if amazon comes through.

    Anyone know of any Yarn Yoshis for sale anywhere?

    Have my Zero Suit Samus for tomorrow but wishing I had Yarn Yoshi now!

    A big fat thanks to Banjo, I now have the Squid Inkling Amiibo!
    Epic packaging by the way!

    Now I have to decide if I can buy Yoshi tomorrow.... Just in case Argos have the Amiibo one in stock....

    Out of those WFT and Ness are the most valuable/rare.

    Surely the value on these is going fast if they're being restocked.

    I have a reservation for Marth in Liffey Valley Argos until closing tonight. I can't make it anyone want it ?

    Give them a call and they can extend it. They did that for me one time.

    I have a brand new Japanese Jigglypuff in box and was wondering if anyone wants to trade me for the EU Jigglypuff. PM if interested, might sell aswell.

    I was in Smyths Galway today and they still have 4 Ness on the shelf, and like 6 Charizards. Oh, and Little Mac is back, get him while he's hot. :)

    I'm in Galway. Is it the separate Yoshi's you want or the bundle? I could check for you tomorrow morning when I'm in town.

    The bundle's in stock on Smyths if you're still looking.


  • Registered Users Posts: 6,943 ✭✭✭Machismo Fan


    I have Toon Link. Ness and Yarn Yoshi are on their way and I've reserved Shulk. I'm slowly being sucked in.

    I went and bought a Charizard today. Amiibo obsession is a sickness.


  • Registered Users Posts: 18,146 ✭✭✭✭RobbingBandit


    Smyths is €60 for Wolly World with the Amiibo. €55 without.

    No hope of me getting to Galway, but thanks for the info!

    I ordered Yoshi Woolly World with the Amiibo from Smyths a few months ago. Haven't heard anything about it since and it is out tomorrow.

    Are Smyths usually good for pre-orders? Never used them before.

    I got my confirmation of shipping today for it.
    Hmm. I thought Palutena would knock Dedede of the throne for "best looking amiibo." Turns out Ganondorf has them both beat. This guy is amazing.

    Really nice looking figure all right. Heavy too, heavier than bowser mario edition I wonder?
    Anyone know of any Yarn Yoshis for sale anywhere?

    Have my Zero Suit Samus for tomorrow but wishing I had Yarn Yoshi now!

    Smyths Childers road in Limerick has some.

    GameStop in Limerick city centre has a zero suit samus free too!


  • Registered Users Posts: 216 ✭✭FallSilently


    I was just in the Galway Smyths too. The Ness etc are still there, untouched. They also had some Yarn Yoshis on the desk ready to put out after closing time, but I didn't ask about them. Probably be fine tomorrow in most Smythses in that case.

    God help me, I hope I'm strong enough to resist the blue and pink ones if I see them. These are the first alternates that are easily available. These are the true test....


  • Registered Users Posts: 6,943 ✭✭✭Machismo Fan


    They have a bunch of Ness' in the Smyths in Kinsale Road in Cork aswell.


  • Moderators, Category Moderators, Computer Games Moderators, Society & Culture Moderators Posts: 34,610 CMod ✭✭✭✭CiDeRmAn


    I really want them but, to buy the game and the Yoshis is going to work out at an astronomical €100.
    And that's for a game that, if its predecessors are any indication, will last a couple of days at most before being completed.

    Until a few days ago! I think it was Tuesday evening when a few guys here reported that Argos were taking orders for collection for a few specific amiibo, including Marth and Shulk, and king dedede I think. They were still taking orders this afternoon. Not right now, but that could change again. I couldn't believe when I got this text earlier today at 5:30: "Your reservation number 131486 AMIIBO SMASH SHULK is ready to collect from GALWAY until 01-07-15". I was at the store 10 minutes later, needless to say. And then, there it was. :pac:


  • Registered Users Posts: 216 ✭✭FallSilently


    aislinnb is right now, though, as I type this he's down to 1 in Arklow, 1 in Clonmel and to-order in Limerick.

    Just a general reminder to the thread, checkargos.com is a godsend, especially now that chase amiibos are popping up unannouunced everywhere.

    Thats brilliant! I'm glad to hear they are in Galway, I gave up on looking for them in Galway and just started to try source them online but I'm so delighted to hear there in shops in town now, that I can literally walk out my door and own it within 10 mins!! Is there any facebook groups or other boards forums where people post if Amiibos are available online or in any shops, I only found this forum today and I've been reading through it and wish I found it when it started because its what I wanted, thanks to ye wonderful bunch of people! I'm just wondering is there any more out there!

    I use nowinstock but that's only for UK and US. but FallSilently you are a godsend because I must say the Argos website is a nightmare trying to find out where they are in stock but my god how have I never found this, but thank you so much!!!

    Yup! It's a pity that Shulks seem to be unavailable to order in at Galway right now, they were this afternoon however when I checked earlier, and King Dedede and Marth can still be ordered in for collection next week, so I'd imagine Shulk will be back again soon. Worth checking tomorrow anyway, I'll post here if I find out it's back. :) And Smyths are getting random Amiibo back in stock too, including Little Mac today. :)

    GameStop do as well. Hey if I see them available or if they come into Smyths, I'll save you one, if you're in Tesco I could meet you there since it's so close by. :)
