I have about 5, 4 of them I really wanted and one I sort of wanted and found for around $8.

I plan to get the two new Metroid ones when they come out.

I have about 15 or so of them. I got Little Mac and Toad for myself, the rest are my kids'. I know they have a yarn Yoshi and an 8-bit Mario, but not sure what others they have. Wait they have a headless Digby from Animal Crossing because the cat plays with it around the house.

I almost bought a Cloud today. In general, I think I own fewer than 10 Amiibos (2 of which being the Skylanders DK and Bowser) and hadn't really been collecting them.

However, I tend to buy the fuck out of clearanced Skylanders. I just wish I had snapped up everything during the Best Buy clearance for Superchargers instead of most of what was clearanced since it was basically a buck per normal figure and two bucks per vehicle.

The big reason why I don't own more of them. That and they don't clearance as hard.

Back when they launched in 2014 I bought every single one I could get my hands on. I believe I spent over $600 in my overall collection.

I lost interest in collecting in the summer of 2015, and haven't bought a single one since then. Golden Mario was the only non smash amiibo I ever collected.

I only have one (Ike) that I bought since Code Name: STEAM could scan it for a bonus character, and two other games wouldn't care what they scanned. Generally though, I don't bother with them. Cost too much, do too little.

I got a bunch of Skylanders and Infinity figures though.

oh trust me, only having 20 amiibo is NOTHING to a real amiibo collector, ok? compared to them, i'm super-casual.

also, this was the most recent one i got, and i love it so hard:

i get that, and i've actually used them very little for actual game purposes, ok?

i just like them because they're little nintendo figures that i've always wanted as a kid, but never made until now.

Ditto.



I HAVE thought about buying one of those figures that are basically Amiibos without any of the actual tech inside, and which cost half the price... but honestly, I don't have potent enough nostalgia for Nintendo to have any specific figure I'd really want.

It's the same problem I have with the Funko Pop figures - I like the IDEA of them, but when it comes to actually wanting a SPECIFIC figure, almost none of them appeal to me enough for me to buy them (I do own four though).

I still have everyone of them, up to wave 5. I even have duplicates I opened and three of the large yarn Yoshi's.
She was more peeved that I should've be paying off debt, instead of being an irresponsible parent and accumulating even more.

Once she charted it out, it made sense it was frivolous spending.

Enough to irritate her off once she did the math lol, but I'd have to look for a guesstimate though. She's rarely annoyed (I'm the grouch), so I realized she had a point if she was willing to bring it up.

I might be way off on the total spent.. so it could've easily been above $2,000. :x
@mzsylver and myself were comparing Amiibo piles, so I might still have the pictures on Imgur.

I find 95% of Pop!s unappealing because of their lack of mouths and button eyes. Most of the ones I've bought either have mouths or are characters who naturally don't.

Chernabog being one of my faves

I also bought at least two versions of the Cthulhu (normal and patina). Can't remember if I bought the glow-in-the-dark variant.
