    Damn, I may never get shot of my Shulk so.
    Feck.
    Mega man, does he get a restock too?
    I wonder if there's any chance he'll work with Mighty No9

    If you want rid of shulk you're probably best to swap it overseas with someone. There's loads of trading groups on Facebook for them :)

    I'm hoping for a megaman restock, cause I don't have one yet :-P as for whether he'll work with Mighty No9, I have no clue :-P

    Duck Hunt and ROB are up for preorder on Littlewoods, with G&W worryingly absent. Couple of other bits up too, like Animal Crossing and Mario Maker.


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


    Added Mario, Toad, Luigi and Pikachu to the collection. Along with Classic Mario with Mario Maker that brings my collection to 10.

    So expensive though O.O

    Wait, they actually dropped the price? :-D


  • Registered Users Posts: 211 ✭✭House of Wolves


    Anyone have any experience ordering with Smyths? How long does it usually take?

    Ordered last night and really hoping it might arrive today. Getting Mario Maker amiibo pack. 10e cheaper than Gamestop!

    80 euro on gamestop is too much,
    got mine from amazon for 65 euro,

    Odd tho as the yoshi amiibo bundle was cheaper from Gamestop


  • Registered Users Posts: 235 ✭✭CliCliW


    80 euro is too much? Guys... there's a guy on adverts selling for 105... -.-


  • Registered Users Posts: 320 ✭✭iggyigauna89


    Quick one for ye folks, any idea how durable the Peach amiibo is? Hope to pick it up shortly for my little one who is obsessed with Peach after getting the to in her last happy meal! Just wonder if it can be used as a toy?


  • Registered Users Posts: 216 ✭✭FallSilently


    As a general rule Nintendo have child-proofed these as much as possible. As long as your niece isn't excessively rough on it it should be fine. I've taken a few apart to customize and they don't come apart without a fight. It certainly won't fall to bits by itself.


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


    New amiibo!:

    Where'd you get the Classic Mario my friend.


  • Registered Users Posts: 216 ✭✭FallSilently


    It comes with Mario Maker.

    I hope this is the right place to put this. I didn't know if I should make a separate thread.

    Anyway, I'm wondering if anyone will be collecting the Animal Crossing Amiibo cards? I'm animal crossing obsessed! I have a NA 3DSXL so I'm waiting patiently for next Friday when Happy Home Designer comes out.

    I live in Japan at the minute and I've been trying to collect as many cards as I can since they were released on the 30th of July. There are massive stock shortages of them here and it's been a right pain the bum trying to get them. I only have 38 so far. There are 100 cards in the first series and the second series is being released here on the 29th of October and there are another 100!!

    My OH and I are trying to collect a full set (which I think will be 400 total). We're moving to Ireland (I'm Irish so moving back for me, he's American) in April 2016.

    I know the first series is being released in Europe on the 2nd of October. Do you think there will be much interest in them in Ireland? I would love to find someone to trade with. I already have 12 duplicate cards and I'm sure I'll eventually have more than that.

    Anyway long story short, is anyone thinking about collecting the Amiibo cards?


  • Registered Users Posts: 216 ✭✭FallSilently


    I don't play Animal Crossing and have no real interest in it... but knowing my instincts I'll probably end up collecting the damned cards anyway. I'm not really expecting massive interest, though that's more gut feeling than actual knowledge. They'll sell well enough but they probably won't be gold dust.

    That said, I've recently left Ireland so I dunno how useful I am.

    My brother lives in Japan and got me one pack. He did mention it was the only pack he could find, but I didn't think that meant an actual shortage. It had Isabelle and two nobodies (073 and 041).

    when it comes to the Animal Crossing cards I think its best to find and a buy a complete set on Ebay rather than buying packets

    Oh Mega Yoshi is up on Amazon Germany http://www.amazon.de/dp/B014VIKY5W/ref=pe_386171_38075861_TE_item

    People are buying Fury Road because they obviously DO need another hero!

  • Registered Users Posts: 18,147 ✭✭✭✭RobbingBandit

  • Registered Users Posts: 235 ✭✭CliCliW


    Are animal crossing cards still available for preorder? The guy in gamestop let me preorder two packs but I'm a little nervous I'll actually get them :/

    Ive pre ordered every amiibo so far with gamestop and they havent let me down yet


  • Registered Users Posts: 482 ✭✭souleater3000


    Has anyone been able to order tomorrows amiibo with gamestop? They didnt have them last I checked and it seems similar to when GS in America stopped pre-orders but still sold them. Very odd.
