Any Amiibo Collectors Around Here?

I'm not one myself, but I was wondering how many users on this site actually have, use, or collect Amiibos. Probably not many, if anyone at all, but it's worth a shot, amirite?
If you don't know yet, Amiibo is a range of figurines created by Nintendo. The first wave was released in the U.S. on November 21, 2014. The figures aren't really meant to be played with, because they are able to interact with various games on 3DS and Wii U. The first and most popular game to support the Amiibo figures is Super Smash Bros. for Wii U. The figurines released in waves go out of stock very quickly after release, and are often kept in box by collectors, used to train special bot characters in Smash Bros., or used to unlock special features and bonus items in other games like Yoshi's Woolly World, Kirby and the Rainbow Curse, and Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker.

I know some people who collect Amiibos, like my friend on Steam, DigDugtrio, who has almost every single one, and a friend at school. I, however, only have Link and Kirby. I plan on adding more to my collection, but not anytime soon, due to beign busy with school and collecting Plarail Thomas items.

Still haven't painted FFF's Daisy lol sorry my guy (i promise I'll get that airbrush kit soon)
Never heard of these myself.
I wouldn't call myself a collector, but I will buy one whenever I see one that interests me. Unfortunately, most of the ones I want are extremely rare. I currently only have Pikachu, Toon Link, and Mewtwo.

Toon Link and Mewtwo are ones I'd really like. I may actually give up on Mewtwo, however, as I just learned of a Shadow Mewtwo coming out for Pokkén Tournament in March.
Also, I forgot to add this in the first post, but, who actually remembers NFC figures from Pokémon Rumble U??? Those count as Amiibos to me.

If any of your kids or grandkids have a Wii U, they might enjoy Amiibos. Although, it may be hard to find ones you'd want. I don't know much about the rarity and prices, but they really do go out of stock fast.

One time, a new wave of Amiibos was released, and shortly afterwards, a single person bought every single Rosalina Amiibo from a bunch of local stores, and sold them for profit on eBay.

After making that post, I managed to find a Lucario at GameStop. He recently got a restock so I didn't want to pass it up. He's pretty cool, probably my second-favorite of my four
