One fan has put together an impressive custom amiibo featuring Waluigi. Luigi is used for the base, so Smash Bros. players can set the character to Waluigi colors in-game.
The asking price for this amiibo is $200 on eBay. You can check out the official listing here.

Nintendo came out with the Love Tester back in 1969. The product, created by Gunpei Yokoi, was made to determine how much two people love each other.
The Love Tester is used by having two people hold onto the terminal knobs while holding hands. It then senses increase in heart rate and moves the needle on the display accordingly.

Update: I’m not sure what’s going on with Target, but now it’s looking like pre-orders won’t be returning after all…
@90pll Thanks for asking! The Rosalina and Luma Amiibo will be a Target exclusive. We aren't offering pre-orders on this item.

@90pll The Nintendo Amiibo Rosalina & Luma will be available in our Target Canada stores. But no preorder and quantities will be limited.

@Jervaaay Thanks for your interest! We aren't currently taking pre-orders and don't have specifics right now on future availability.
— AskTarget (@AskTarget) January 3, 2015
Target opened pre-orders for the Rosalina & Luma amiibo during two extremely brief periods last month. The retailer later said that online reservations were closed and consumers would need to head towards their local stores in hopes of nabbing a figure.
Now we’re hearing something that contradicts this a bit. The official “AskTarget” has indicated that Rosalina & Luma amiibo pre-orders will return sometime this month before it goes on sale in February. Fans are advised to continue checking the website.
@Jervaaay Yes the Rosalina & Luma amiibo Figure will be available for pre-order sometime this month! Keep checking back! Thank you!
