I can always flash the amiibos you want for in game unlocks, but if you're buying them as knickknacks , I can't help you there. |

Eh they've got their claws in me pretty good. I never thought I'd be a figurine guy but after buying a few (ironically also to get rid of gift cards) I'm pretty hooked. I don't have any desire to "collect them all" though.... I'm more about collecting iconic characters where the figure is a good representation. Sadly I'm still missing some of the important ones.... no Mario, No Link, no Samus and no Bowser. They are usually sold out. I think Nintendo makes as many of those amiibo as the lesser known characters, which is ridiculous. You can't tell me they lacked the foresight to know that Mario would be x10 as popular as Mr. Game & Watch. I might end up having to (gasp) pay full retail for them by going to a (double gasp) gamestop. |

I had a keyring of flashed amiibos. Gave them away to my friend's kid. Utterly pointless contributions to gameplay in my experience. Some of them look cool, though. I've got a Little Mac I've been told is LQQK QMG R@RE so I figure it's worth 50 cents. |
| Howard_Casto:
For earlier games sure, but they aren't pointless for the newer ones. The drops in BOTW are helpful for leveling up quickly and in Mario Odyssey the power-ups dropped by the wedding amiibo that Malenko sent me are quite useful in some of the post-game levels. The Re Revelations collection gives you upgrade points for every amiibo scanned. Now all of this is optional, but I don't think optional equates to pointless. If anything I'm rather proud of Nintendo for keeping the little figures optional.... they could have easily went the Skylanders route where buying hunks of plastic is a requirement to play the game. |
| Malenko:
got some pretty sweet planes in Ace Combat for the 3DS with them. If I didn't flash tags and had to buy figures for the unlocks though...... I'd be saltier than a pretzel. |
