Man, this really brings me back to the beginning of amiibo. I remember collecting every smash amiibo from the beginning. That initial wave...marth, villager, and wii fit trainer were so rare. I frequented this one gamestop at the time and would always ask about it. This one employee was super cool and actually called me to tell me someone had returned a marth amiibo and he held it for me. That dude was awesome. Hope he's doing ok
@@aidan_548 they were but they were also terrible lol. All the store exclusives, all the scalping...Nintendo really has a distribution and supply problem. But it really is quite nostalgic
Ya to be honest i recently started collecting amiibos this year cause when i was younger i always wanted them but i was a little kid with no money so seeing this video really made my day so keep up the great work man
As someone who’s been an amiibo hunter from the beginning, seeing this make me happy! I’ve picked up a Shulk reprint this year and when they did Toon Zelda for Echoes of Wisdom I got that too. I got really lucky with Sora cuz my dad was out the day he came out, so I asked if he could go to my local store and pick it up if they had one, he was able to get one and it was home before I woke up that day 😂 Also, I really like this way of showing how you do your amiibo hunts cuz it feels very personal and despite me never seeing your previous videos, it feels kinda like I know you a bit 😂😅 I have noticed my local game store having quite a few amiibo this year and it’s been surprising every time but I didn’t realize why cuz amiibo restocks have always been few and far between!
Ya amiibo restocks are really far and few between. Like I said in the video I hope this is a sign of things going forward because I much rather this than what the last few years had been. Also I'm glad you really liked the video and how I showed my hunting, to me there is something personal about it, even if it is just for fun.
This was a very enjoyable video to watch. Had me nostalgic for my Amiibo adventures back when they first released. I pretty much kept up with Amiibo Smash till the very end but there’s a few I still need. Btw I recently got back from a trip to Japan, late November, and visited the Nintendo store there. There was an entire wall dedicated it Amiibo!!! And just about every one was there! Sadly I only had enough for one, Bayonetta P2.
I remember as a kid I used to go amiibo hunting a lot. I went to multiple stores like Target, Best Buy, Gamstop, Toys R Us, FYE, Game x Change, and sometimes Walmart. Sometimes I was lucky to find them and other times not so much. As a result I ended up having to get some through Amazon and EBay but it was a little pricey. Other times I was able to find them in the store through restock, which was lucky. When Ultimate released, I had to go to stores to get these with my allowance and pre covid I was able to do pre order and get them on release day. Other times it was sold out on pre order and had to purchase them on release day. Mostly all my new amiibo purchases were through pre orders
Since nobody else is talking about it i have to say that I am SO GLAD to see the wolf link amiibo here especially because i had no idea they had restocked?? And on my birthday no less????? Vro when you managed to get him on MARCH 8TH i was thissssss close to crying. TP and the wolf link amiibo is very special to me (i would marvel at it and twirl it in my hands when i was younger). I got mine in the bundle with the tp HD game which i play a lot and NEVER saw it in-store again (for like SIX years!!!!) so its nice to know that its still around and kicking :,3
I didn't know that they did that for display models, although after peeling it off it had a hole drilled into it, not sure if that's the same with your yoshi
I remember the sora amiibo release day like yesterday. I decided not to buy ff7 rebirth that month and instead buy the sora amiibo because I just knew I would never get it at 15$ ever again. I got my mom to drive me around town and game stop had none, target had none, and Best Buy had one left and that was the one I got. I’m glad I was there for the last smash amiibo release day at least. It was a good day though.
I just came back from Japan and their current Amiibo stock is pretty impressive, there was so many options. I even managed to get my hands on a Banjo-Kazooie amiibo, those are super rare and expensive online
I've heard quite a few countries outside of the US actually have a pretty decent sized amiibo stock, but very cool that you were able to get Banjo, he's definitely one of my favorites!!
In the UK, i saw ONE amiibo, no duplicates of it, ONE AMIIBO. And it was the min min amiibo when it came out. I guess I saw a Kirby reprint too, but not a single one besides that.
Metroid Dread 2 pack isn't even that rare and elusive. Now if it was the Return of Samus 2 pack with the squishy Metroid amiibo, yes, yes that would make a whole lot more sense.
first thoughts on video: "too much unnecessary swearing" finds out he's from new jersey the penny drops and suddenly the swearing makes perfect sense 😂
Apparently for the Metroid Dread Amiibo 2-pack, in terms of rarity and stock, my local Target literally has an entire stock of it. I was lucky enough to pick up a copy of the 2-pack 2 years for $30 USD
The rarity of the dread two pack is a bit of an in joke between me and my friends, mainly because even after it came out, you can find them practically everywhere
Man i been amiibo hunting like crazy these past few months as well man caught a few on ebay as well i be stopping in at my local gamestops as well just for amiibos i find the thrill also when i hunt for them and find them on your own
Ya, I know the original green squid is super rare given the release circumstances. But I don't think it's as bad right now. I believe currently the Splatoon 3 three back is still super available as well as the pear and marina.
@@aidan_548yep. By far the most expensive though is the Octoling three pack. I don’t know why, but they were the only amiibo that weren’t re released with the games launch. They didn’t even re release them when the dlc dropped.
@dexterthecat9580 I honestly forgot they made an octoling three pack. Tbh I'm not too well versed in the Splatoon lore and community but it seemed like the octolings were becoming a serious mainstay after Splatoon 2. That is super strange though
I've definitely heard that over seas amiibo has generally been much more plentiful. As much as I would like that, I do also like hunting them out. Truthfully I hope they find a happy medium between the two, and considering all the figures rereleased this year they may be starting to do that
ngl, seeing the fact that there is not much amiibo in some of the stores you went, i felt thankful because there is only one videogame store that sells amiibos in my country, but that store has ALOT of amiibos, like at the start of this year i had 0 amiibos but i already have 5 now! (Skyward Link, TotK Link, BotW Link and the Squid Sisters double pack) so with that store i need no other store in my country :D
I’d totally double dip on amiibo is they made slight variants doesn’t have to be that much different that way they won’t rot on shelves but I also wouldn’t want to take it away from someone who’s trying to collect them all it’s just not that common anymore sadly 😢💔
I remember going to NYC on a school trip a few months ago an going to the Nintendo store. I remember going inside and first thing I see was obviously the beautiful and precious pearlina 2 pack, but less importantly a whole bunch of amiibos and I was like... arent these extinct?!?
So I initially bought the Pikachu from eBay intending on it being the only one, but because of the condition it was in, I felt like I would have to get a new one at some point, just so happens that it was sooner rather than later. If it was in good condition I would've just had the one
@ I unboxed 80% of them and placed them in a display cabinet cause you’re right storage became an issue and they’re not easy to display boxed. Wasn’t an easy thing to do though cause they look better boxed.
@@Nabhan82 I'm sure. Personally, I prefer unboxing them mainly because I do use them from time to time, but I can totally see why people prefer to keep them inbox.
Meh, I’m content with my current amiibo collection! I’ve got all the fire emblem amiibo, Xenoblade, Metroid dread, totk amiibo and guardian. I’m getting the Steve amiibo because… I AM STEVE, DK and banjo. But I’m not too fussed about all of them.
Man, this really brings me back to the beginning of amiibo. I remember collecting every smash amiibo from the beginning. That initial wave...marth, villager, and wii fit trainer were so rare.

@@aidan_548 they were but they were also terrible lol. All the store exclusives, all the scalping...Nintendo really has a distribution and supply problem. But it really is quite nostalgic
hopefully the next console has amiibo support
I can't see why it wouldn't, I'm just hoping they're more involved with amiibo during the next console
Next console will have backwards compatibility with smash and ofc smash has amiibo so it’s guaranteed at this point
@@Galactic_Inferno did not think about that's but that's a very good point
Why wouldn’t it?

I noticed that GameStop had like five game and watch amiibos in stock when it was hard to find even online
Ya they're weird 😂
It’s super cool to see amiibo hunting videos 10 years later, very nostalgic 😂
Glad to tap into your nostalgia! 😂
Funny seeing the Hamilton Mall in this video, I also live in Jersey and was not expecting that at all, Small World LoL. Good luck on the hunt .
Very small world 😂😂

9:22 I got a yoshi amiibo with the same felt base. The one you have may be a kiosk amiibo used for display.
I didn't know that they did that for display models, although after peeling it off it had a hole drilled into it, not sure if that's the same with your yoshi
@@aidan_548 They typically have holes drilled so they can't be resold
