In the table displaying the figurines and the universe they come from, most "universes" are the names you would give an entire series of games. For example, The Legend of Zelda instead of, The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword. So why is Pit's universe Kid Icarus: Uprising? The series would be called Kid Icarus, since there are two other games that have the same naming formula as The Legend of Zelda. I'm going to change it, but this is my reasoning for doing so.-- 153.90.122.88 ( talk) 18:12, 12 June 2014 (UTC)
Now that pre-orders are being accepted by major vendors, I believe the figure list should be updated. 12 figures are available, while Pit, Zelda and Bowser are not. In fact, Bowser is not part of the illustration used on the page showing 14 figures. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 159.142.159.180 ( talk) 12:36, 4 September 2014 (UTC)
Ummm..... Amiibo haven't been confirmed for Smash 3DS yet. Only for Smash Wii U. 58.7.174.157 ( talk) 09:59, 20 September 2014 (UTC)
This is mentioned on a number of websites (a Google search for Samus amiibo turned up several articles on the first page), but is it significant enough to incorporate into the article? I'm not much into collectibles, so I don't have the foggiest clue how this would be treated. But here's one such article from the aforementioned search: http://www.nintendolife.com/news/2014/11/weirdness_factory_error_results_in_dual_wielding_samus_amiibo -- Thunderbird8 ( talk) 07:48, 27 November 2014 (UTC)
Information on defects seems irrelevant to the article unless we bring up manufacturing quality as a subject for the article. The legless Peach did NOT sell for $25,100, these were shill bids and passing that information off as factual degrades the quality of this entry. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 137.183.232.25 ( talk) 21:20, 24 February 2015 (UTC)
It's just wishful thinking by thge author of the citation. They even admit it in the cited article. It should be removed. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.42.118.198 ( talk) 03:05, 31 December 2014 (UTC)
Should this be a section of the article? Considering how some of the uncommon figures, like Marth and Villager, are now going for more than triple the initial cost second-hand, it seems relevant enough to mention in the article. 50.173.217.50 ( talk) 19:55, 4 January 2015 (UTC)
That someone must have lazily used a revert tool. There are lot of problems on the article and I don't think someone even checked what they are. There are duplicate list of "Supported games". As the 'supported game' in the table grow, the table will stretch very wide across the article. This table fits under WP:INDISCRIMINATE for all the red X's on every characters that aren't exclusive and aren't compatible with particular games. The release date already been mentioned multiple times. It also got an issue for other regions with their different release dates. It's already taken care in the article outside of table. This reversion did restored the bad table codes as well. He claimed it a "unconstructive edit". Rukario-sama ^ㅈ^ -(...) 22:45, 13 January 2015 (UTC)
For some reason, the page listed specifically The Legend of Zelda" The Wind Waker. I had previously fixed this (may have been logged off), but I noticed this error is back. The from column is supposed to list the series, not the specific title (if it were to then Link/Zelda should reference Twilight Princess, the Fire Emblem characters their own specific games, etc...). I have fixed it to The Legend of Zelda. Please watchout for whoever is making these dumb edits. Thegreyanomaly ( talk) 16:18, 14 January 2015 (UTC)
And the new Mario series figures. 109.239.84.123 ( talk) 16:50, 14 January 2015 (UTC)
Hope(N Forever) recently removed the Super Mario Bros. series repeats (i.e., all but Toad) amiibo from the table (twice). This table is meant to cover all amiibo. You cannot selectively remove some SKUs because they have the same characters and compatibilities as others. I have reverted their removal and am now leaving the page alone to avoid any possible edit-war. Perhaps, if having them in this format is not amenable, we could try making two separate tables? Thegreyanomaly ( talk) 19:59, 14 January 2015 (UTC)
The main problem I'm seeing is the different release dates in other regions. If we included the release dates from various regions to the table, the table height will be increased drastically. And if we're going to convert them into wave # then how can we handle amiibo series other than Super Smash Bros? Rukario-sama ^ㅈ^ -(...) 03:41, 15 January 2015 (UTC)
With more and more games receiving the Amiibo treatment, the table will eventually get to large for Wikipedia. I suggest we come up with an alternative, maybe a table per Amiibo or table per game, or divide it up into paragraphs per Amiibo, or something else that works. -- Vahnx ( talk) 02:57, 4 February 2015 (UTC)
While Super Mario Bros will have upcoming 6 Amiibo models as they're announced on the Amiibo website. There are only 29 Amiibo models released and 6 upcoming Amiibo models on the way for SSB series, who said there will be additional 13 on the way? May be the case of WP:CRYSTAL at this point.

Should these be mentioned on the Wiki or should we wait until it's officially been announced? 63.135.23.120 ( talk) 21:12, 5 February 2015 (UTC)
The European versions of the Smash Bros Amiibos (And probably the super mario ones, but not confirmed) have official numbering, rather than just waves. this is shown both on the Nintendo Website ( http://store.nintendo.co.uk/amiibo.list), and on the packaging itself (www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00Q6A571A) - it would be useful to be able to sort the list of Amiibo chart by those numbers - is that OK to add? 81.149.182.210 ( talk) 03:00, 6 February 2015 (UTC)
I'm surprised there's no mention of how hard it is to find many of the characters, seeing as how it's a common source of complaint I've seen in a lot of places. You know, some like Toad selling out in minutes online, rumors of certain figures getting completely discontinued, heavy markups for some on secondhand retail sites, preorders getting cancelled entirely because the stores underestimated demand, etc. Is there any way we can find some articles that expand on this a bit and add an appropriate (sub)section to the article? -- 68.37.227.226 ( talk) 05:08, 7 February 2015 (UTC)
I prefer Amiibo figures to be always referred to as "figurines" or just "figures" than "toys". Someone tried to assign them as "toys" and that sounded too bad for the collectors, telling that they are never meant to be collectible anyway. Nintendo never said that they're "toys" in its Amiibo website. The use with NFC isn't sufficient enough to not call them "figurines". Rukario-sama ^ㅈ^ -(...) 07:21, 9 February 2015 (UTC)
