      I actually owned some amiibo before the Switch was released, basically when I had my Wii U and there was a series of NES game demos I could try out. Of course, I did use some of 'em on Mario Odyssey to unlock some costumes.
      Psst, my favorite amiibo is the Waluigi amiibo.

      Joseph Leatherbarrow as someone who collects ill try to explain (god I sound like a cocky asshole I’m so sorry). Basically if something is near impossible to get it will cause people to want them but eventually they will stop caring. If there is too much of a product people wont care because they’ll say hey! I can just get this another time. There’s a happy medium that makes it possible to get the amiibo but still motivate u to get it before it’s gone.

    I remember when Amiibos were first released. I was shopping at Target one night and came across some of wave 1 and was like "WOAH they've got Samus in this lineup?!? That's awesome! And holy crap it's Wii Fit Trainer! Oh man I may have to start buying these. However I only had enough money for 1 figure so I purchased Samus, thinking I could get Wii Fit Trainer at a later date. Ever since then I've never seen another Wii Fit Trainer Amiibo in stores and have wished I could go back in time and change my decision that night.
    At least I was able to get a Japan import.

      Jonathan Williams He's saying that Smash Bros. did Amiibos right. Getting an amiibo should allow interaction and leveling up certain characters and not act as DLC.

      Balance. There’s a happy middle ground between these things that Nintendo seems to have a problem hitting. Too few, and no one can find them, too many and stores never restock waves because they’re overstocked with the last wave. In game functionality, if it’s a complete afterthought then there’s no reason to have it at all, and if its entire chunks of in game content then it becomes a completion wall where you just cannot access the full game unless you bought the amiibo, which is the same problem as at launch dlc (locking content you technically own behind a paywall) not to mention it becomes more of a problem as the game gets older and the amiibo harder to find

      Indeed. Collectables are about maintaining a careful balance of production and demand. That the figures are rare and therefore difficult to find but not so rare that they are impossible to find.
      Having collectables is incredibly profitable but you maintaining that balance is not an easy feat.

    The moment you mention the west coast strike I had a flashback of my case. I'm in Mexico, so game suppliers are rather limited but I remember preordering my Smash Rosalina Amiibo on a store called "gameplanet". I had my preorder ready and waiting, they had set up a date but it just passed, no advice. It happen like 4 or 5 times, I remember checking the Rosalina product page on their site, as it had a "user comment" section and it was an odd way to keep myself updated. They mentioned the West coast strike as being the main reason on why they weren't shipping it.
    One day without really notice, they cancelled my preorder and turned my money into store money, I checked the page and people where saying that the products where already on store and they where selling preorders to people who didn't preorder. I called my store ASAP and asked them about it: they had MY rosalina and asked them to stay put. Went rushing and payed with my "store money", I am now a happy owner of the Smash Rosalina amiibo, which then proceeded to get resold at ridiculous prices and hoarded by some jerk, but that's another story.
