Today I picked up my second amiibo, after just getting my first one yesterday. I'm intrigued, but very cautious about buying more of these, cause I feel like I would burn a hole in my wallet if I keep buying so many at a time. So, I think I'm going to take my time with buying only one a week from now on. Anyways, how is the amiibo hunting been going pgrf?

I don't have any of these things as I have a similar feeling. I won't be happy with just one, unless it was a gift. I'd have to get all the ones I want.

I plan on picking up just the ones I want as I think of them as a small, affordable statue to have. I already picked up Zelda, and plan on picking up Sheik, Zero Suit Samus, Captain Falcon, Megaman, Pacman, and Mr Game N Watch.

I actually bought DK for my nephew, but he ending up actually having him anyway, so I kept him. The first real amiibo I got was Shulk, but he isn't out till the 1st of February.

I already have Fox. I'm a Star Fox fanboy so it's nice to have something other than a game in my small collection, and can't say I've seen too much of anything related to Star Fox.

I've also pre-ordered Lucario because he's the only Poke'mon I like, and Bowser because he's a bad ass. I'm not sure if I'll be buying any of the others.

I envy you. I was trying to get one for my friend for Christmas, and I can't find them anywhere! These things are really a pain to collect.

I have them all, so far, and I have the rest pre-ordered except for Rosalina. I plan on collecting them all. They really look nice hanged on my game room wall.

I paid them all off already, so I could forget about the cost lol. My advice, pre-order and do it ASAP. These are being hoarded by collectors and resellers, so you should grab them while you can. I think Nintendo will reprint a lot of them, but better to be safe than sorry.

Own:
Marth (Sealed; not mint)
Captain Falcon (Sealed)
Fox
Samus
DK
Pikachu
Kirby

Want: (in order)
Pit
Rosalina & Luma
Diddy Kong

I might sell off or trade Marth; although the figure is considered rare, it's atrocious and probably the worst figure out of the ones I've seen. On the other hand, I really like my other figures, especially the details on Fox. Pit looks amazing too.

I'll eventually take a collection pic sometime in the future once I create a proper display.

Here's some sweet customs shared on Reddit:

Gotta keep em sealed. Despite what anyone really says, amiibo's functionality kinda sucks. With the exception of Link in Hyrule Warriors, these things are pretty much useless for their in game content. As such, I find them more enjoyable hanging up on the wall sealed in their original packaging. Obviously it kind of defeats the purpose, but I find it more enjoyable from a collecting standpoint.

Right now, I own:
Link
Fox
Yoshi
Zelda

At first, I wanted them open all of them just because I liked decorating my desks with figures and plushies, however I'm inclined to agree with you on the more rare figures. I got brutally lucky sniping Marth when I initially started hunting, which I haven't seen any Marths, Villagers or WFTs pop up since. Pit was a real pain in the ass to hunt for, even after being 'officially restocked' today; Best Buy received no shipment on release day, while the limited supply Gamestop was receiving were already being reserved by the time the stores started opening and inputting the release of the figures online. The best advice I'd give any who hasn't started grabbing the rare figures is to order from amazon.fr or any of the european counterparts. Yes, the shipping will cost an amiibo in itself, but you're better off doing this than wasting your time or spending the $50+ baseline prices they're going for by scalpers. Anyways, I digress. tl;dr - the rare figures are so rare that I can't dare to open them at this point in time.

I don't know if the Amiibo's usage is completely worthless; I like the skins for the Miis in Mario Kart 8 and the ones for the One Piece game look neat if you're into that series. Judging from what Nintendo has been saying, you can expect more support in the future, but it sounds like characters might get additional different releases outside of the Smash Amiibo set - though, this is speculation. It might not come in the form of Amiibos as Nintendo has mentioned selling NFC cards that do the same thing. If NFC cards for these characters do come out though, I can see why you'd be better off waiting for those, but again, there's not enough information to go back at this point in time.

Taken from reddit:

So I noticed alot of people are asking about rarity of future amiibo. It is based on which characters are most popular and functionality has a small role, as it usually goes along with popularity. Here is a survey done that was posted on /r/smashbros

Notes: Of course, this is a limited sample size, and I have no idea who the demographic was and in what location. However, if sample size can be considered adequate for making correlations and construals, I'm going to assume that most the Mario and Zelda characters besides Rosalina and Sheik are going to be or are currently common, Pokemons are likely not going to be rare, characters within the 30 'could name' range might be less common to track if you're not ordering online. However, this is probably nothing to go by as Samus is a common in my town and Villager doesn't follow this rule (though, I'm assuming the reason people couldn't name villager is because they only knew he was the MC from AC). Also, another assumption is that Nintendo will release the entire roster in Smash, will support third party characters the same way they support their own, etc, etc.. I'm rambling. You get the point, however, if you're a collector with a limited budget, I don't think this is a bad set of data to keep in mind.

I've been having a hell of a time locating these locally so I've been looking for alternative methods. Not sure if anyone else is aware but Amazon.de has Villager, Wiifit trainer, & marth available. It comes out to about $20-22 each if ordered together (due to the shipping costs). You can also preorder Rosalina & Lucario on Amazon.it

They do ship to the US, however I ordered directly from Amazon themselves. They are compatible with US systems and have English as well.

I was able to order Rosalina, Lucario, Little Mac, Wiifit trainer, Villager, & Marth. Still can't find Captain Falcon or Pit and I'll need Shulk & Meta Knight when they come out too. Other than that, I have them all with these two orders from international Amazon. I've opened all mine so I'm excited to get these in.

Update

I have almost every amiibo now including the "holy trinity". However I have to wait for them. I still need to get rosalina, meta knight, and lucario, but I think I'll just import them. I also have all the non-exclusives per-ordered. Unfortunately, these hard getting harder and harder to get, even online, as captain falcon, little mac, and pit are all discontinued.

Still waiting for to come in the mail
-Little mac
-Marth(import)
-WFT(import)
-Villager(import)

Importing is the only way really to go about collecting amiibos, as they are not common things to see even on ebay, for a decent price in the US package. I suggest if you want to get into collecting these things sealed you should import them. The packaging is not that different, and the only ones that are really different are the nippon ones, as those have some different names for the characters. Don't care about that stuff? Great, it's better to not to anyway.

That image hurts my soul. Only 2 people could name the duck hunt dog and only 7 could name Samus? The fuck? How on Earth was this taken from a Smash Bros poll.....

Managed to hunt down a Captain Falcon finally so my hunt for Pit continues. I'll probably wait until after Meta Knight & Shulk come out to hunt locally. If I can't end up finding them, I'll resort to importing.

In all serious, jealousy of your Pit, Captain Falcon, & Little Mac. I'm still waiting on my Captain Falcon from Japan and can't find Pit or Little Mac anywhere. Got an order pending on Little Mac from Amazon.it but it's been that way for a month :l

I'm contemplating just buying Shrek from Target instead of waiting another 2 weeks for my preorder from GS to release.

Pit and Captain Falcons have been reported getting recent shipments, you should just keep an eye on NowInStock. Little Mac on the other hand is another story apparently, and from what I know, it only received one month of manufacturing much like Villager.
