Super Mario Series Amiibo 6 IMAGES

The Super Mario Series individual figures, Luigi, Princess Peach, Toad, Yoshi, and Bowser, appeared on the retailer's site yesterday and if you weren't quick on the draw, you missed out on the first round of pre-orders.If you really want to get your next amiibo collection rolling, the Mario amiibo, available only with the Mario Party 10 bundle, is still available for pre-order.Don't fret, however. You can sign up for email alerts for when the other amiibo in the series become available again for pre-order.The popularity of the figurines was one of several bright spots for Nintendo during the third quarter of its fiscal year. Nintendo sold 5.7 million amiibo during Q3 , meaning they sold 1.6 amiibo for every copy of Super Smash Bros. for Wii U.The down side to the popularity of amiibo means that the figures have been difficult to find, with some figures going for prices much higher than MSRP on grey market sites like eBay. However, there are some people who would argue that hunting down amiibo is part of the fun. Did you get your pre-order in on time? We want to hear your amiibo collecting stories in the comments.
