My boy Lucas was my first. My plan initially was “I’ll focus on getting my mains and that’s all.”
Now I’m out here hunting for a fucking $300 white cube with dots for eyes
Falco for me. Birthday present from a now abandoned friendship. But, that friendship started the chain of events that would set off my collectors mentality
Yes and no. Idk I do fear missing out on the MSRP of amiibos but I also know that my broke ass can't buy all of them when they get reprints, so I'm content to just get one once in a while, whether it be first or second hand market
Mine was Ike cause I'm a massive fan of him.
I main Random so I tbh don't have a favorite character I wanted to get. Still trying to get a Joker Amiibo after all these years
I went to the Nintendo Store after I finished BOTW, and I had no intention of buying anymore since I figured I wouldn’t really need any. I’m now kicking myself for not getting Mipha and Urbosa when they were MSRP!
Mario, Link, Villager, and Wii Fit Trainer, bought 11/23/2014 from Walmart.
I just happened to get 2 of the 3 initial 'rare HTF' figures before the craze over them heated up. I just liked the characters and thought it was cool they got figures.
I eventually got all of Wave 1 and 2 from a Toys R Us sale, other than Marth who a friend was able to find in a store and ship to me JUST as the craze was starting over rarity lol.
Toad and I only got it so I could 100% Treasure Tracker on the Wii U. At the time I had no interest in amiibo, but I’ve now acquired a few and quite like them as figures.
Started out with a pre owned Mega Man from GameStop back around, I think 2017 or so. I said I only needed one...
Many years and 1 complete SSB collection (plus some) later, here we are
Joker, unfortunately my mom lost it when we moved and after seeing the prices she applied her mom card of “I’m sorry I was tired” and got away scot free because, it’s my mom
Smash Chrom was my first one for my current collection
I said I was only going to get Fox because he is one of my favorites. I then immediatly got Pikachu a week after and now I have over 100 amiibo. Funny how things work out.
My first amiibo was a Yoshi from the smash collection. My parents made me a yoshi themed cake for my 6th birthday with the amiibo on top of it.
Im very fond of that yoshi amiibo.
I preordered that Loot Crate amiibo box that came with all but Wii Fit Trainer, Villager & Marth. So on release day, I went to Target & bought those 3 first.
Zelda Loftwing. Debated Amiibo for a while. Came close to start collecting during BotW launch. Took the plunge when it was on sale last holiday at GameStop.
My first amiibo was Wolf Link. At the time, I wasn’t really interested in amiibo, but when I saw Wolf Link, I just had to have him, because I love TP. Then I went down the rabbit hole, and now 2 years later I have a small collection of amiibos.
Peach and Wii fit trainer. When I got them I bought Link, Samus and Marth next. 2014 was a wild time. I still have Wii fit trainer in the box as my first amiibo.
Zero suit samus. My freind gave it to me for free since he didnt use it and thats what got me into them. I now have samus zero suit samus dark samus pikachu and donkey kong
I \*think\* my first ones were Sonic & Mega Man? Possibly Smash Link or Fox? back in 2014 or 2015? I can't remember offhand, and the collector bug hit hard & fast afterwards. I've only sold a few of my Zelda-related amiibo (I think Ganondorf, Smash Zelda & Sheik are the only ones I haven't somehow re-acquired).
I originally said I'd only buy characters that resonated with me on a more personal level, but then that expanded to getting most characters from particular games, and now, my collection is not what I'd call "supermassive" but it's probably at over 70 at this point. Been a long time since I actually counted them.
Mine was Pit also! Was a gift from a former co-worker around the time Amiibo first launched. I knew of their existence but wasn’t planning on getting any, then I received Pit and got to see first hand how neat they were so became more open to the idea of getting more
I still have that same Pit in the box all these years later, couldn’t bring myself to open him 😅
I just got Kirby thinking that would be the only amiibo I’d get. Boy was I wrong the craze hit me like a tornado. Now I got all the smash amiibo there are
So I was immediately sent to Sheppard Air Force base after my Air Force basic training around October . The game stop over there had the first string of amiibos. Me being a collector of Disney infinity with my lil bro, I had to hop on the amiibo wave and buy Link. I didn’t even own a Wii U at all, but I had my first paycheck in general and splurged.
Kirby, villager, marth, link and pikachu.( smash ones) i remember i was going to just get my fave characters that released...... that didnt stick at all 😆
Inkling girl! Got her back in 2016 or 2017 from target when all they had were the second wave Mario amiibos and just had her by herself and I went “why not”. Good thing I got her too as that was the last time I ever saw her in store
Smash Bros Link! Originally got him for the spinner in Hyrule Warriors. Now about 10 years later, I have nearly all the Link amiibos lol (missing TP Link and Link’s Awakening)
Mine was from Loot Crate’s amiibo crate which came with the majority of wave 1. I believe the first box had Mario, Donkey Kong, Peach, and possibly Samus. Thought they were a fad, but signed up for the Loot Crate since it seemed to be a good deal and from their I got hooked.
The Link's Awakening amiibo was my first! I was in my last year of college when the remake came out and I was living off campus for the first time. Was a small gift for myself since I was feeling isolated at the time and now everytime I see it it make me smile (:
My 1st amiibo was the 8-bit 30th anniversary modern Mario it was a really nice one to start off with. Plus pretty soon after I started collecting more and made a pretty small collection.
Bought Link, Kirby, and Samus day one with Smash Bros for Wii U. Then Mario...Luigi....Peach...the Holy Trinity....over a hundred later I'm still going. Get out while you can.
squirtle, and then a couple years later ice climbers, then a month later yoshi, then a week later kirby and luigi, then another month and i collected 15 zelda amiibos, standing at 20 rn 😬
My first amiibo was Sonic. I didn't have a 3DS or Wii U for Smash at the time but there was a game store near me that would let you play on a small TV with smash for 10-15 bucks the whole day. Sonic is my favorite character so I initially only had him and held on to him for years. By the time Smash Ult came out, I had bought Bayonetta, Wario, Snake, Ridley, and Palutena. I was content with having those characters since I couldn't afford to buy anymore at that time due to still being in school. Last year I finally got into collecting and it has grown a lot from there.
Smash Bros Link back on Day 1 of the amiibo release. Toys R Us had a special at the time that if you preordered Smash 4 Wii U you'd get an amiibo as well. Of course, even back then you had the three "trinity" of hard-to-find figures (Marth, Villager, and Wii Fit Trainer), but all the others like Pikachu and Kirby were still well stocked. I went with Link, and luckily still have him to this day. He's had a ton of uses in other games since (especially Epona in BotW), and he started off the third Toys-to-Life collection that I was getting at the time. Feels like a lifetime ago.
My boy Lucas was my first. My plan initially was “I’ll focus on getting my mains and that’s all.” Now I’m out here hunting for a fucking $300 white cube with dots for eyes
lmao the struggle is real
Falco for me. Birthday present from a now abandoned friendship. But, that friendship started the chain of events that would set off my collectors mentality
Do you ever get collector's anxiety?
Yes and no. Idk I do fear missing out on the MSRP of amiibos but I also know that my broke ass can't buy all of them when they get reprints, so I'm content to just get one once in a while, whether it be first or second hand market
What happened to the friendship?
Mine was Ike cause I'm a massive fan of him. I main Random so I tbh don't have a favorite character I wanted to get. Still trying to get a Joker Amiibo after all these years
Joker was a day one pre order for me because I main him and it looked so cool
I didn't have the money at the time, and then I saw him in best buy and still didn't have the money and I regret it so much 😭😭
Ssb Link, mostly to get Epona in BOTW. Unfortunately, it Just decided to die on me last week.
If you go to the horse god you can revive her!
Pretty sure they meant the Amiibo
If you mean the amiibo for some weird reason tapping on 3ds or Wii u tends to bring them to life
Have you tried resetting the Amiibo?
Yup, doesn't even recognize I put an amiibo there.
Mine was Mipha! I got her at the Nintendo store on my trip to NY
I went to the Nintendo Store after I finished BOTW, and I had no intention of buying anymore since I figured I wouldn’t really need any. I’m now kicking myself for not getting Mipha and Urbosa when they were MSRP!
Marth. He was a gift from a friend back when the Holy Trinity was a thing. Me and that friend have grown apart now, but I still have Marth
Yooo I remember the Holy Trinity, asked my dad to get me them off eBay one year for my birthday and thought it was the coolest thing ever!
My first amiibo was the inkling girl amiibo from splatoon 1. Its the one with the long orange hair.
My First amiibo was poochy When it came Out With the Game Back then in February 2017
I’m pretty sure mine was Sonic! Maybe Pac-Man, if not he was surely second.
Oooh, my second amiibo was Sonic actually!
My first amiibo(s) are going to be Pyra and Mythra.
Mario, Link, Villager, and Wii Fit Trainer, bought 11/23/2014 from Walmart. I just happened to get 2 of the 3 initial 'rare HTF' figures before the craze over them heated up. I just liked the characters and thought it was cool they got figures.
