Seems Amiibo have been more popular than first thought as Game are cashing in and increased the price to £14.99, they were £10.99 when I went in at the weekend.
Hmm yes 12+ seems to old a rating, im sure thats a mistake.
Im quite liking my Amiibo actually with Smash, I got a Samus one who I've dressed up like Dark Samus in black and blue armour...however when asked to give it a name I just decided to call it 'Barry'
I've got the 1st 12 & the worst one by far is Yoshi! ... Looks like it was painted by a 12yr old lol! ... Bits of white paint has been mixed in with the green! ... The Disney figures are much better quality imo!

(I might buy another Yoshi & bin it!)
Unless you want to pay over the odds at Game,I've found the Yoshi is hard to get at the moment. It was the same with some of the Disney infinity figures last Christmas.

I ordered another Yoshi / donkey kong for £13 each! ... Like I've said previously the quality of these figures is appalling nintendo should be ashamed of themselves imo!

take a picture of them, Simon. i wanna see. I've heard the Peach one is awful, too
I don't care about Marth. But I am mad about Fit Trainer and Villager. Those were quite literally the only 2 I wanted. I had them both preordered on Amazon, however the day prior to release (dispatch day!) my Amazon UK account was blocked by Amazon due to suspicious activity (I had been buying loads of things in the days leading up to it!) and it automatically cancelled my preorder. By the time my access was reinstated, they were already sold out. I did try online and even went to my local GAME but both were already sold out
Apparently Smyth are getting more in on the 16th according to their website...
I did buy Pikachu today, though. And there are a couple not released yet that I want (Toon Link! Bowser!)
Would be nice if Nintendo could give us an answer re: them being discontinued. At least then I could buy them from Amazon.de.

My local Smyths a had a few Wiifit Trainer amiibo today.
The Yoshi pics are an example of a bad paint job! 👎
wow, they look really good! Better than what I was expecting! Tbh, considering they're only £12, it's to be expected they're not the best Kinda wish they were a bit more, maybe £25 to ensure they look good. I'd love to get them all if they looked good (which they do, just not brilliant)
These amiibos seem to be way more popular than first anticipated, stocks are low everywhere, and so many retailers have hiked up prices! Pleased I got mine in time.
I agree with MarcusJIll I wish Nintendo would have done maybe a deluxe Amiiboo range more suitable for collectors, with a better standard of figurine. Maybe they could have priced that at £20-25

Yep! ... I'd be willing to pay £20+ for a proper collectors figure! ... ya never know it might happen (eventually) 👍
& the unpopular amiibos are getting phased out according to other reports on the net! ... Can't say I'm surprised they're only concentrating on the most popular! 😇
I have bought a Marth! Probably gonna keep him in his box for now as he is rumoured to be one of the rarer characters most up for the chop, so his value might go up. If it doesn't I'll just end up using him as he's a cool character, and one of the better Smash players. Win-win!

I like playing with marth aswell! :cool: ... (& Meta Knight) because I'm rubbish & need simple characters with easy accessible move-sets!

I want to get some for my son's birthday and he's coming up to ten.
It says not to be given to 0-3 years on the box.
Are you sure your not mistaking the rating for Super Smash Bros?
It has a 12 + rating on the Smyths toys website. I think that might be because it refers to use with Smash bros which is a 12 rating.
We were planning to use it on Mario kart 8 though.
That's probably a mistake on Smyths part.
According to Nintendo the a PEGI 3 rating http://m.store.nintendo.co.uk/amiibo/luigi-no.15/11028558.html

It also unlocked a fun Samus outfit in Mario Kart

I'm thinking maybe buying them tomorrow from Smyths as they could end up being worth something if that the case.

I don't have a local Smyth
German amiibos should work on UK U's, right? They're all region locked to region (EU) and not country?
I'll post a some pics tomorrow! 👍 ... When it's nice & light! 😉

I think 10 is fine even for SSB, I was playing Street Fighter 2 on my SNES at 10 with no lasting effects, it's no more violent than Tom & Jerry.
amiibo pix 👍
(They're pretty crap but it's dark lol) 😇
