Seeing as Tyger and I were discussing these in the cbox, it seemed an idea to make a topic about them.
For those that are unaware, amiibo are little figurines of Nintendo characters that serve up not only as a nice collectable for fans of the company and can be utilised by the Wii U/3DS for unlockables and the like.
At first I was very dubious about them. Even called them Skylander rip offs. They are pretty much the same concept but Morri bought me a Link amiibo for Hyrule Warriors as a present and after that hunted them all down.
Wave 4 is out next week in Europe! Can't wait! Just ballsed up and missed Meta Knight. Dang.

They're totally Skylander rip offs, but they're cute. I reallllly want a Lucario because they look cool, and the Pikachu looks decent. But, as i'm broke, I try to stay away. My roommate collects and hordes them like crack, though.
As far as I know, they give you bonus stuff in future games, so having them all maxes out your chances of bonus loot and whatnot as new games come out, or new DLC is created.

Oh god, definitely stay away if broke. I try not to think about how much i've spent on these. It's a good thing work is paying very well at the moment.
I noticed the New 3DS console seems to have an inbuilt NFC reader. Least more use can be had out of them.
I'm slightly sad Zelda/Shiek/Toon Link amiibo and the inevitable Ganondorf one don't unlock more weapons in Hyrule Warriors. Spinner is hilariously good. Especially with Postman Link outfit on.

Bumping this: GAME are absolute jobbers who can't into preorders.
I am literally sick of them. They failed yet ANOTHER preorder. How do you successfully take payments for 2 items out of 5 only for the third to cancel and then cancel the items which were successful as well?
They the have the cheek to say reorder on their website when NO WEBSITE is selling the stock anymore.
