I'm just going to state this for the sake of ending speculations. You can backup amiibos, took me like 30-50 mins to make an app for android (specifically my galaxy note 2) to backup a friend's amiibos, select which backed up amiibo to load, and clone it at will on any topaz 512 nfc tag. Yes, I did have to take it out of the box for cloning. Few things I would like to improve on to save myself some tags and other cool stuff I want it to do, but it works pretty much as i intended.
*Not going to be released*
If someone actually knows anything about nfc and finds out how to clone too, I would appreciate a pm with Samus' codes, 'cause all stores me and my girlfriend been, Samus was gone; and I managed in some cases to generate a new ID, so I won't use yours, not that probably has anything to do with anything (other than becoming unique per console). I don't mind trading Link's and Kirby's code with a unique ID. And yes, we will buy 1 Samus figure, just would like to use it now and keep Samus' amiibo in the box. Thanks in advance.
