Anyone know what to do about that glitch in Lego Dimensions (PS4 version) where you just can't upgrade vehicles to their different forms, since gold bricks don't appear in the menu anymore? Me and my friend both noticed this issue after we updated the games, trying to take advantage of the newest Best Buy/Gamestop half off sales.
We tried installing and reinstalling all updates. No dice.

Are Raven and Starfire one character or something?

So, bros. Will we get Fem Robin too? What about male wii fit trainer, or Fem Villager. Or Koopalings?

GUYS.

The Shovel Knight amiibo can be scanned without opening the box.

The Nintendo Switch is completely portable and amiibo compatible.

This means you can walk into your local game store, find a Shovel Knight amiibo, and scan it without buying it. You'd probably get arrested, but still.
>>
If the Switch version of Imaginators has a digital library, characters only need to be scanned in once to be selectable, correct?

So, in theory, one can just go to a store and scan the figures on the shelves to make them playable?

>>6271787
Starting to think I'm one of the only two people with Dimensions on PS4.
>>
>>6273109
Three people. I initially got it for the Wii U, but after seeing exactly how buggy it was, I bought the PS4's disk off ebay for cheap.
>>
>>6273141
Oh, I has assumed each version needed its own portal.
Is the Wii U version even buggier? The PS4 one already has enough bugs when updating.
>>
>>6273227
At the Wii U's quality, they might as well have ported it to PS2.
>>
Which 3DS Skylanders is the most worth checking out? I might as well start strong on the portable ones.
>>
>>6273265
Swap Force I'd say. Its story is canon and kinda joins up with Superchargers. The first two have the really annoying limitation of only having two Skylanders at one time, but Swap Force onwards stores them in a library.
Trap Team is fine, but half the levels are Villain centric and none of the memorable Villans from the console are there. They're all just generic baddies with retarded names.

Superchargers Racing is utter shit.

Does Shovel not have one of those tags in there? I thought it did. Hmm.

>>6272443
Technically speaking yeah, but I dunno if the game requires you to scan again to save data or not.

>>
>>6274368
>>6274538
good fucking luck. Apparently they're 'one of a kind'.
>>
>>6274538
I mean it says all the figures are stored on the system. Soon as they're scanned, they probably won't need to be used again.

>>6273425
If anything the general will just slow down further. Even if the big games die (which is less than likely, skylanders knows where its audience is and amiibo is still going strong) there will always be ebay and stuff like that.

Like, I get this argument, but it's not really a very good one. Yeah, if you break it down to the absolute basics, they all play pretty similarly. But you have quick melee DPS, slow tanks, grapplers, and more, with upgrade trees so you can improve their stats as you see fit. So, with the exception of everything from 1.0 and some Disney Originals from 2.0, they do play way more differently than the
>another ___ character that ___ a thing
meme that you all keep spouting.

Ignoring all that, there's no law that says every figure has to play entirely uniquely anyway, just like the game doesn't reasonably expect you to go out and collect every figure and power disc they churned out. I'd like the variety of choice of the avatar I'm playing as. And I will never not be sad at the amount of missed potential there was to be had there.
>>
>>6276400
>there's no law that says every figure has to play entirely uniquely anyway,
then there was not enough incentive to buy more characters to support the series. it wasnt just the lack of cross-compatibility, it was the basic lack of variety and in-game incentive that required the need for more characters. I only played the Starter packs with one character per set, and only used the others to finish something off.
>>
I think Lego Dimensions shit is 50 percent off at Gamestop. I went in to buy the Harry Potter team pack and it was only 12.50 even though the price tag said 25
>>
>>6276143
>movesets are pretty much the same for everyone
It's weird. You look at the skill tree of each character, and see how different it looks and how crazy the possibilities must be. It seems like a totally different deal than say, Skylanders.
But then in the end, you just build everyone as melee or ranged, and there's only a few from each type that actually has some variety to the norm. In the end, Skylanders probably have a lot more variety in play styles.

It didn't help that with each upgrade, they focused on less and less varied character types. 1.0 had a large range of Disney characters from different genres of movies, requiring them to get pretty creative with some move sets. 2.0 was mostly marvel heroes, and while a lot of them had interesting ways to get around, there were only a few types and like 80% of the cast just had generic punching combos. Then 3.0 comes around and you just got lightsaber guys and blaster guys who are lucky to even get an enhanced jump.
>>
>>6276400
>slow tanks
Do tanks work in DI? I remember trying to build Hulk to be a tank, since he has so many health related upgrades. But it seemed like it made very little difference in the end and his regeneration was hardly noticeable. He would still get stunlocked if he got hit too much, so I just rebuilt him to be offensive and he was a lot more effective. Is there anyone with something like super armor so attacks don't phase them the same way as other characters?
>>
>>6276610
Characters with regenerating shields work the Tank angle better. 1.0 figs do too, since their health meters are fucking ridiculous.
>>
>>6276914
Which characters have shields?
>>
>>6276923
Mostly Tech focused guys. Iron Man, Hulkbuster, Ant Man, Black Widow, Baymax, Syndrome, Buzz, Perry, Vanellope and the Cars. Might've missed a few.
>>
It sucks we never got any sort of online raid mode for DI.

Imagine using your Iron Man with a friend's Luke Skywalker and some stranger's Kim Possible to battle Tamatoa.

Along with the three unannounced Link amiibos revealed, we got these 6 too. Super hyped, and I really hopes this means they'll revisit some of the others when Smash is ported to Switch. Robin, Wii Fit, Villager and Zero Suit would be nice.

That they'll store your favourite loadout to take with you seems like a nod to trying to make splatoon esports.
I wonder if the originals will also do that
>>
>>6278144
It's less about that and more about completing the collection. It's always been weird that the last three fighters never had any amiibo until now.

>>
>>6276326
Main reason i got into infinity was the figures. Don't give two shits about the samey combat.
Fuck i wish they would just sell the figures as collectables now
>>
I might be retarded but what do the alternative amiibo of Corrin, Bayonetta, and Cloud do?
>>
>>6279763
probably the same as the usual ones. Smash line was easily the best selling and most anticipated line of amiibo to date, so Nintendo was probably looking for any way to milk more out of it.
>>
>>6279723
closest thing they did was release the keyblade, as a convention exclusive.
>>
>>6279763
They're the same but will probably just use that specific color as default.

I just hope this shit doesn't give them an idea to do a "Player 2" series of Smash amiibo for alt colors. Nintendo could do that.

>>6278144
It's been 16 months I believe since they were announced so this is finally the end, or so it would seem. Lots of speculation seemed to indicate the whole reason they held them back was for a Smash port on the Switch. They didn't announce it in this direct, but I'd say its a shoo in for the system around E3. I'm not sure they'd launch it with the amiibos tho, since Splatoon 2 comes out the same day.

By the way, for those playing along at home:

Gamestop has Twilight Princess Link and "Player 2" Cloud (Aka the edgelord one) Exclusively.

Amazon apparently has listings for FemCorrin and Skyward Sword Link.

Whoever will have Majora's Mask Link will likely also have the P2 Bayonetta (the Bayo1 outfit).

The regular versions shouldn't be exclusive as far as we can tell. Gamestop already sold out of preorders for Link and Cloud, Amazon has the listings up but not active yet and we don't know about the last two. Seems likely it'd be Best Buy since it doesn't seem like TRU would have a M rated character exclusive, but who knows maybe Target will be in for it.

Squids and Pikmin shouldn't be hard to find. I expect we'll hear about the Monster Hunter Generations and Quibby amiibo maybe at E3 or something.

A KH Mickey outfit was released as a con exclusive and the Keyblade was the 100% completion unlock in 3.

I don't have a lot of amiibo, but I'm getting the AC ones now that shows are dropping them cheap.

I'm planning to add some shelves, patterned backing, and paint it for my AC amiibo.

TRU has whatever remaining Infinity chars on sale for $3 now. Picked up about 10 or so myself.

wtffffff is there a reason I need to be charged seperate shipping for the Smash amiibos even though they all release the same day? Gamestop's checkout said it would be $20 of shipping.

Does anyone have the Switch version of imaginators yet?

>>6281132
Of course people do. It's Imaginators for switch. No racing with nothing to replace it, and a clunky, awkward, slow virtual library instead of a Portal. If you already have the game, skip it.

I'll have to think of something to make for a new OP.

Also, I updated the pastebin yesterday, I guess I completely forgot we had that since it looks like it hasn't been updated since last year.

FF characters would have released with the 4th game, which would have had the ability to play any character in any universe. If you even played 3.0, you'll know that A) the Movesets in 3.0 for most caharcters (some boring Disney rep withstanding) were far more than just Melee/Dash and had a level of strategy as you levelled them up, and B) the movesets get more and more deep and diverse with each game.

So in short - the cancellation of DI4 is legit a shame.

After playing Lightseekers all morning, just pre-ordered all the toys. Articulated, light up, different weapons, very excited. It's a lot of money though, way more than Skylanders.

Worried about the longevity of the game, too. Did they stretch themselves too thin with the TCG and game?

Will any of you be picking it up? Game is free, toys are 75$ for the base pack and 15$ per weapon.
>>
>>6312906
I have this huge premonition that this is going to flop, like Angry Birds Go, Sick Bricks, that hero portal thing, and those app gear things at the 99c store before it. if the game is already fully playable, then there's almost no reason to buy the toys whether or not we avail of the in-app purchases. the reason the big 3 lived as long as they did was because they pretty much required the toys. then there are the amiibos which are fueled by something else.

still, ill wait for a sale
>>
>>6312906
I honestly can't imagine it going anywhere desu. It came too late to jump on the bandwagon. The death of DI has left many players weary of this kind of thing, which seems to be spreading to LD and Skylanders too. Plus, yeah, the TCG-to-life thing didn't do so well before. And again, no brand recognition. It's doomed to fail, which sucks. I'll gladly pick up the toys when they inevitably get reduced to a 1/10 the price.
>>
>>6315084
I agree that a lot of consumers are tired of the TTL style games. I've been enjoying the game immensely. It has dungeons, quests, crafting, gathering... it's like a single player WoW. They do the skylanders thing "you need a flying pack attached to a physical toy to access this area!" But it hasn't been too awful.

I think they're going to have to push hard that the 80$ toy packs are just the starter packs. The fusion core is basically a raspberry pi. It can be put on any of your characters to load the save for your version of the character. So one Jax toy can be used by however many people as long as they each have their own fusion core. Cheaper versions of the characters without the fusion core will be sold, and the fusion core will be sold separately later on. But as it is, it makes people think "what! 80$ per toy!" And ignore it.

That plus as you said, weary of TTL, no brand recognition.... I don't know if it can succeed, although I really hope so.
>>
>>6315138
Must admit, it sounds hella nifty and it reminds me greatly of Skylanders back in 2011. I'd probably like it a whole lore more if it were a console game and had more or a roster to start with. I kinda hope it succeeds too, at least well enough to reach its full potential.

If it was on a blue board it was probably on /v/ since I've never seen a post like that in one of these threads.

Seems weird they'd release new figures and not a whole new game, but perhaps they can reason that they can do console updates now that they don't have to worry about stuff like the Wii U and 3Ds and add new characters and shit. I think the new update that went out for Imaginators added like 200 new pieces in the Imaginite chests

The Skylanders community has known for a while now that there wasn't going to be a new game release in 2017, but "support" instead. Most people just assumed new digital content, such as new levels and Imaginator parts but this is pretty cool if it's real.
>>
>>6317484
itd be really cool if they could do what Dimensions is doing. as in, just release one game, but constantly update it every year. for the record, i had Finn, Sonic and the Starter pack but i couldnt use the two before an update
>>
>>6318642
>>6318108
Yep ever since we heard they weren't going to I figured they'd do updates with new pieces, but new characters is a little surprising. I also thought they stopped doing "Series 2", etc figures because they just didn't sell, but maybe if there's no new game, they can drive people to buy new versions of figures if they missed out on the old ones.
>>
For those who have played it is Imaginators worth it at all? For reference my favorite Skylanders game was Swap Force. I wonder if i should just totally skip this year and see what they come up with in 2018.

The whole gimmick Imaginators has going on doesn't really interest me, but you don't HAVE TO make your own Skylander do you.
>>
>>6319049
Imaginators actually is a lot of fun, but it feels far too short. There seems to be a lot of small diversions you can do too (short small stages with a mission you do, like "Beat the Robot" where you have to hunt down a robot spawner) but those end up becoming repetitive

If I'm not mistaken, Five Below stores have the Imaginators (or maybe its Superchargers?) starter packs for $5.

I believe there's one segment at the beginning of the game that requires you to make an Imaginator, and they're pretty powerful, especially in the battles against Kaos' Doomlanders. They get a damage multiplier and significantly help out in the battle damage wise compared to literally every other character.
>>
>>6319049
>>6319085
There's nothing in the game that makes you make an imaginator. It's the focus of the game, but it's not mandatory.

Imaginators are super fuckin' powerful, so it's worth to keep some around for some of the bullshit enemy spams.

That said, it if a fun game, if short. If you like Skylanders it's not the worst the series has to offer, but it might feel a bit lacking compared to SF or TT.
>>
>>6319049
Imaginators dont unlock anything, just the Senseis do, but they are the new fun gimmick. If anything, you should only skip Superchargers
>>
Who are the best of the new Skylanders, bros? I have a small-ish collection and looking to expand and my gamestop has them all on offer. The only new guys I have I King Pen and Golden Queen. Thanks
>>
>>6321827
Crash
Kaos
Chain Reaction
Starcast
Flare Wolf

maybe Boom Bloom
>>
>>6321827
Chain Reaction, Boom Bloom, Grave Clobber, Tidepool and Wildstorm are all great figures with cool gameplays. Crash and Cortex are also pretty nifty, but aside from the novelty of them being Guest stars, they're kinda whatever.

My advice is just get anyone you like the look of. There's no figure without redeeming qualities.
>>
for sensies I have been really pleased with Tae Kwon Crow. most of the melee ones get splattered once you enter nightmare difficulty
>>
>>6326938
This. Anyone ranged can survive on the harder difficulties. Anyone who relies on close combat is effectively useless unless they're equally fast, like King Pen.

How easy is it to mod lightcore skylanders?
Would it be worth it to pick up a bunch of Hexes to put the lights in other figures?

I think the dude who made those actually allowed you to order his Deadpool, Cyclops and Jean Grey figures from his etsy or something. They looked great, but a bit too expensive for some small statues with no game functionality for my liking. SculptorHec on Twitter.
>>
>>6347358
Somewhere there's fairly likely to be original 3d model files, especially since we saw many of them after the series was cancelled. If someone could get them, anyone with a 3d printer could probably make them, but its fairly likely no one would be able to get them now, or be able to actively sell them

I think we're missing Vortech pack but that would be it. If they decide to continue the series, they'd probably end up making one for the Switch but then that wouldn't really need a standalone portal (or be compatible...i dont think there's a USB drive on it as far as I can see?) since the Switch has NFC reciever in the joycon.

Lightseekers toys are shipping a month early. Amazon says the figures will be at my doorstep Friday or Saturday.

New figures are also supposedly on the way.

If you don't want to pay 75$ for the figures, as I understand it, they're planning on releasing just the figures for around 25$ but you'd have to get the backpack portal thing separately for about 30$.

From what I understand, the portal thing is basically your account. So if you have 3 kids, you don't need 3 of every toy you just need 3 backpack portal things that you clip on to whatever character you currently want to play with. Pretty nice. And all the weapons and flight packs work with any character.

Yes? Why wouldn't it be, Pokken supported random drops via amiibo, too.
>>
>>6364056
Game Freak is notoriously not big fans of the amiibo format, so it's super unlikely we'll ever get Pokemon amiibo outside Smash or a card line.
The amiibo support was in the original. Like Hyrule Warriors - scan any 5 a day to get random shit you can unlock anyway through regular gameplay.
>>
>>6364056
>>6364102
This is actually disappointing because they'd probably sell like hotcakes. The regular Pokemon figures are usually shit, and actual nice amiibo would be just fine. I think they should have use those new collection figures from the Pokemon Center and put them on amiibo stands. They're around the same price anyways.

Would be nice of them to make a shadow mewtwo physical figure

theyre literally contest trophies
at least its not as bad as that magic card sealed in liquid crustal on display in some japanese office that means no one can actually collect every single card.
>>
>>6364477
They're amiibo parading as contest trophies. There's no reason they couldn't just make trophies that weren't also amiibo. Nintendo KNOWS this is a collector's line, and they're pulling shit like that. It's fuckin retarded.
>>
>>6364974
>>6364477
Well it really depends on if it does anything different. If not there's no point in getting mad about it; you could literally just spraypaint a regular one of the Raths to match.

Skylanders was the bullshit one where they made really cool Employee Exclusive figures that usually registered as different (the "Special" tag on them when summoning them in the game, and they add an extra spot on the collection roster)

They have to be scanned twice, actually. But yes, that is possible. I've only got three creation crystals, but I've got one of each element saved on the console. The only downside to doing this is that if you scan in a bunch of different figures you don't actually own, it just takes a while to get to them in the menu.

The data is only ever saved back to the figure in the Switch version when you go to the hub map and talk to an NPC there. Until you do that, the save data keeps track of everything instead.
>>

That's because this is a fad that is dying

(honestly, it took way longer to die than I expected)

Skylanders are selling out too. The only ones holding on are Amiibo and Lego

I honestly think Amiibo is holding on because most people want them as collectibles, not what they are actually designed for. As for Lego. I think Lego wants to not have to make Lego video games anymore. Remember the Lego Batman movie? That movie should have gotten its own game. But fuck that, let's just make it a Lego Dimensions level pack!

I say Lego is holding on, but I only say that because they're still charging full price for the starter set (unless there's a sale or promotion going on). But their level and character packs are getting the discount treatment too

Soon, this fad will be dead and buried. And the world will be happier for it

This fad's been dying since 2014.
DI is long dead because Disney wasn't winning enough.
LD is dying because it entered into the fray too late, saturating the market while doing so, and being far pricier than competitors.
Skylanders as a game has been dying for a few years, but Activison is keeping the franchise alive with a dedicated Netflix show.
Lightseekers was dead on arrival - no brand recognition, no console game, no advertising, no identity and expensive: what were they thinking?
Amiibo have had a recent surge in popularity thanks to the success of Switch, BotW and upcoming Odyssey. Amiibo are gonna stick around for a good while yet.

>>6392207
>As for Lego. I think Lego wants to not have to make Lego video games anymore.
Really? They make one every single year since at least 2005 and port it to absolutely everything on top of having a passionate group at Tt Games making the games in the first place. I can't imagine it costing that much for them to make the games and with the massive net they cast they must at least make a profit on it. It's not like they'd do any other games like Lego Island or Bionicle again.

Amiibo is surviving because of the collectable feature and because Nintendo is keen on having games take advantage of them. Hell, a single Mario Amiibo will work on almost any game with Amiibo compatibility to give you something unique. We saw what happened when BotW came out and offered custom outfit sets due to the Amiibos as well, you still can't find even BotW specific Amiibos for retail price anymore.
>>
>>6392237
Would have been useful if Majora's Mask had come out before BotW did; I'd have bought that even if I didn't know what it does.
That fact that it wasn't clear what they were going to do made the 1st wave real easy to access.

Any chance we'll see Zelda amiibo rereleased? I picked up the the Toon Link/Toon Zelda two pack when that came out, but decided to hold off on the the 8-Bit Link and Ocarina of Time Link because I assumed that the Amiibo bubble had burst and I could get them on clearance eventually. Then fucking Breath of the Wild came out and their prices are fucking ridiculous online. Also anybody know if the Wolf Link/Twilight Princess bundle is still widely available? I want that Amiibo too and I don't have the game currently so I thought that might be a justifiable way of getting that one.

I think Skylanders really died with Superchargers. Levels were constantly interrupted by racing segments, had less emphasis on leveling and the much lesser need to collect everyone since treasures were randomly available.

LD lived as long as it could because of brand recognition across various brands outside of its own, and the interactions/personalities within, but everyone had to pay double for a Skylanders game because that's Lego for you.

DI killed itself with its own name, advertising and larger pay wall compared to Skylanders. even with the focus on world-building and 3 huge brands, it placed limits with useable characters and playsets. most of the characters themselves were mere clones of each other, also cutting down incentive to buy more outside of simply owning them for fun.

Lightseekers is a ticking time bomb that will soon fizzle away or unexpectedly and unlikely explode into a phenomenon
>>
>>6393195
>DI killed itself with its own name,
Actually, DI was doing gangbusters sales even with the restrictions in place.

There's a few factors that led to DI's death. The largest of which was Marvel and overproduction. Disney made two million Hulks when only one million DI units were in existence, then couldn't GIVE the rest away.

This on its own wouldn't have been bad, but THEN Marvel stepped in and forced them to make characters that would never sell. They turned down suggestion after suggestion for female characters in favor of shit like Yondu. A character that, again, they couldn't GIVE away.

But in spite of all that, DI might have still continued, had it not been for Shanghai Disneyland. See, Iger had paid the NBA a multi billion dollar deal to broadcast their games on ESPN. Immediately afterwards, it became apparent that due to poor oversight and shoddy contractor work, large swaths of Shanghai Disneyland would need to be rebuilt.

Disney stocks were going to show a loss unless Iger cut costs quick, so DI got the axe, along with half of the ABC lineup, including The Muppets, Galavant, and the new Marvel shows in development like Damage Control and Mockingbird.

How's your amiibo collections coming along bros?
>>
>>6392953
>will they be rereleased?
Had to say, the Botw amiibo were just rereleased a week or so ago, so it's up in the air at this point wether the 30th will follow.
I picked my 8bit and OoT Link up less than a week before Botw and I'm glad I did, however e price hike has been outrageous even for amiibo standards.

>Wolf Link Bundle
Depends where you live, the individual amiibo by itself is impossible, but I've seen the bundle pop up here and there: your best chances might be Walmarts Best Buys that are out of the way, or any small locally owned video games stores in your area. Best of luck to you friend.

>Disney Infinity was a sales failure
It literally brought the Disney gaming sector into the green on its own for the first time in 6 years. Not to mention it was incredibly popular the entire way through which is why every single person who was developing it was shocked when Disney shuttered the studio.

franchise.

It was a failure due to Disney and Marvel's meddling with their Hulks and Yondus, not that it didn't sell well.
>>
>>6397098
>Hulks and Yondus
does that mean something in specific?
>>
>>6397106
http://screenrant.com/why-disney-infinity-was-cancelled/
>When Disney Infinity first debuted in Q3 2013 the supply didn’t meet demand and production could barely keep up to maintain appropriate inventory levels at retail, so by the time Disney Infinity 2.0 came around – based entirely on Marvel – they over-produced big time. The problem was that the forecasts were way off, and using Hulk as an example, 2 million figures were produced with only 1 million being sold.

Most of the 2.0 figures were shelfwarming something fierce, and the Hulk case is a very specific example of how they were complete idiots making an incredibly high amount of figures when the game didn't even have more than a million or so total owners in the first place.

so one new Skylander when Skylanders is basically dead. A bunch of Legos that could easily be talked about in the Lego thread.

And lightseekers, fair enough, there's probably going to be enough people trying to pretend they like it before eventually admitting they wasted their money to warrant a thread

Damn, Infinity finally went full nuclear at Walmart. One I visited the other day had figures for a buck and the battle pack thingies for $5. I bet you'll see them shipped off to the Dollar Tree eventually. Meh, I was able to pick up Chewie, Han, Minnie and Star Wars disc set which was neat. They shilled those Star Wars animated series hardcore and no one gives a shit about them.

I really wish I would have gotten one of those light up ones before they went completely out of the stores.

Splatoon amiibo seems like they're going to be useful so it's probably not a bad idea to get them just in case they sell out.

The game is sold out on amazon I think too.

You can put your loadout on them so you can take them with you to eSports.

they also unlock gear. Might be nothing, might be a way to get good stuff early

Having to unlock stuff on each system can be a huge detriment to a game's viability as an eSport.
If you can just take your loadout full of unlockables with you, then there's less fuss.

So Cloud and Bayonetta come out on the 21st. I still can't seem to find where the exclusives are. I can't even tell which is the base figure and which is the alternate. I want the Bayonetta 1 style costume but I can't figure out how to preorder and the only thing I'm seeing is japanese imports at silly prices.

Anyone actually excited about these? They clearly don't have the same push as the last wave or two of Smash figures.
>>
>>6420319
"P1" Cloud, Bayonetta and Corrin are not exclusive to any particular store and will be available everywhere.

In the US, "P2" Cloud is exclusive to Gamestop, Bayonetta to Best Buy and Corrin to Amazon.

P2 Cloud is in his edgelord black outfit, P2 Bayonetta is actually the "Bayo 1" look which makes this whole thing confusing and P2 Corrin is the Female Corrin.

Most stores should still allow you to preorder the P1 versions however Gamestop is sold out of P2 Cloud, Best Buy still allowed preorders of P2 Bayo as recently as last week when I checked and Amazon doesn't have preorders until the day of release because they're fucking idiots.

I think you'll find the hype is a bit diluted because of the insanity of store exclusives with the Links a few weeks ago and that Splatoon 2 + 3 more amiibo also come out on the same day.

Most people are just happy they'll be done with Smash finally [spoiler]Until Smash Switch brings more characters or they decide to do "P2" versions of all of the characters[/spoiler]

Does anyone have a store that sells amiibo with worldwide shipping? They opened preorders here (Chile) and both Player 2 Bayonetta and Corrin sold out in 20 minutes, and I'm really not in the "going to every store on launch day to see if they have any scraps" mood.
