I might consider it after a considerable price drop or a bundle with a good discount, but I don't really see the point of those figurines, they would just catch dust or eventually get lost/broken because there is always someones kid, that has to break your stuff, you know ;)

If you keep them away or locked it won't happen. Just imagine if Pat the NES Punk let kids or strangers near his huge NES collection.

I think rather not.

Heck I won't even get Super Smash Bros. for Wii U.
I don't know what's the hype, I just don't feel it.
To me the top Smash game was Melee, from there it just felt like the same thing.

And the figurines "Amiibo" thing, as well for the Skylanders figures, are nothing but a cheap way to gain more money out of something that could very well be released as DLC at a much lower price.
Take into consideration that manufacturing a figure rises the price and in my opinion the profit is not really worth it.
I would much rather prefer a DLC that I can easily download instead of a figure just to fill more pockets.

Although, I would rather like that they release both the Amiibo AND the DLC.
In the case of Skylanders, it's not nice that they lock up some parts of the game just because you don't have a certain figure.
Sucks, and that's just a way to try to force you to buy more stuff.

That's my opinion though.

Shadow @ If they're going to charge £10/$15 for DLC then they might as well have the Amiibos instead so it's DLC-ish that's physical and you can display it on your shelf.

The DLC per figure should not cost more than 10 US Dollars.
I give it 5 bucks tops as if they were a character download of some sort.

I was really excited about amiibo when they first announced them. Even as figurines only they look great, so NFC connectivity with Wii U / 3DS across different games is amazing.

But, I decided to wait and buy amiibo's when they offer them in packs like Skylanders. I'd like to have them all, but that's serious money to put down for what's at the end of the day a collection of toys ("smart toys", if you will). Pack of 3 or 5, maybe a pack with all of them would be awesome. For a reduced price of course vs. buying each separately.

I'm really hoping they won't introduce limited edition amiibo though. Or region specific amiibo. That'd suck. I wonder if importing amiibo from Japan would work with a European Wii U. I don't see why not, but you never know until it's been tried.

Count me out, I'm no longer interested purchasing any of them after seeing how much of a downgrade they've gotten.

Why the fuck is Link looking down?! His figure didn't look like that originally!

God damn you Nintendo, you can't go a day without fucking shit up. :-/

I will probably grab some just because they're nice figurines, the NFC stuff is just a cherry on the top. That being said, I'm not going to collect them.

    Well, from what I've heard from my parents, he had a seizure last night, perhaps an epileptic episode, fucking died, had a near death experience, my dad called the paramedics, they showed up, took him to the hospital, and he woke up covered in tubes, and started complaining.
