Story time! I bought
![Link :4link: :4link:](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
at launch because he's one of my favourite characters and he unlocked goodies in Mario Kart 8 and Hyrule Warriors. After a couple of weeks, I ordered
![Samus :4samus: :4samus:](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
when she appeared online because I really like her in Smash as well. I ordered
![Captain Falcon :4falcon: :4falcon:](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
for my younger brother as a Christmas present; we both love Captain Falcon but I liked for him to have one to call his own.
Around the same time, I pre-ordered
![Rosalina :rosalina: :rosalina:](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
for myself and
![Sheik :4sheik: :4sheik:](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
for my brother, ready to get in the new year. When Toad was announced, I ordered him for my brother. It all went swimmingly.
Since then, I've ordered
![Zelda :4zelda: :4zelda:](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
online and added her to my small collection. I'm not getting any of Wave 4 so I'll be as I am presently for a short while. When Wave 5 was first announced, I ordered
![Ganondorf :4ganondorf: :4ganondorf:](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
,
![Zero Suit Zamus :4zss: :4zss:](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
,
![Palutena :4palutena: :4palutena:](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
and
![Dark Pit :4darkpit: :4darkpit:](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
for myself and
![Greninja :4greninja: :4greninja:](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
(and a Light-Blue Yarn Yoshi) for my brother. In the meantime, I'm looking for
![Pit :4pit: :4pit:](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
and
![Toon Link :4tlink: :4tlink:](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
, hoping to get them sometime soon.
At first, I planned to get the characters I really liked (including but not limited to
![Luigi :4luigi: :4luigi:](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
,
![Bowser :4bowser: :4bowser:](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
,
![Donkey Kong :4dk: :4dk:](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
,
![Jigglypuff :4jigglypuff: :4jigglypuff:](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
,
![Lucario :4lucario: :4lucario:](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
,
![Charizard :4charizard: :4charizard:](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
and
![Ike :4myfriends: :4myfriends:](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
). The only characters I knew I ABSOLUTELY HAD TO GET NO MATTER WHAT were
![Link :4link: :4link:](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
,
![Samus :4samus: :4samus:](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
,
![Ganondorf :4ganondorf: :4ganondorf:](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
,
![Rosalina :rosalina: :rosalina:](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
and
![Palutena :4palutena: :4palutena:](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
. As time progressed, however, I decided it would be priority to get the characters that were relevant to my first picks by series. I want to get all the Zelda, Metroid and Kid Icarus characters first off (1986 series rep yo), and keep Rosalina as a bonus for now. I'll probably dive into others later.
Also, in my spare time yesterday, I edited a picture of a Ganondorf amiibo to look like his Old Manondorf alternative costume. I'm really looking forward to getting Ganondorf.
