Call me when someone gets every amiibo and after that boring scalping is gone...

Nintendo's handling of the amiibo situation turned me off from purchasing more. You walk into a Best Buy hoping to get lucky with a :4fox: amiibo only to glance at the Skylander and Disney Infinity sections that are stacked with multiple figures for each game/version. The exclusive figures are not major characters that would limit completing the whole roster. There is so much more I could dive into but the whole situation is pretty underwhelming.

This has to be my only strong opinion against the company. The idea was good in theory until supply did not meet the colossal demand from fans and collectors alike.

You know something? I actually have a Samus amiibo, but I had to kiss my old Ho-Oh figurine goodbye for it.
Worse decision ever

At this point I don't really care who I have. I'm really only getting character I actually like
Basically this for me. Also kind of why I don't plan on buying Zero Suit Samus, Sheik, or Toon Link. I'd rather not buy little statues of characters I already have statues of. :p Even though I haven't picked up Zelda or Samus yet, but still.

My current collection is: :4mario::4bowser::4yoshi::4dk::4diddy::4wario::4link::4kirby::4fox::4pikachu::4charizard::4greninja::4littlemac::4pacman:

Essentially I'm only buying characters who I see as

A) REALLY important characters as a whole
B) Personal favorites, or ones I have personal attachment to
C) Third Parties, since they're special in my eyes (though all of them fall under A anyway)

Like, basically nothing I'd consider filler or TOO out of the way to get that it undermines their importance. :p

I would really like a :4pikachu: but I don't want to break my limit of 8

First 5 spaces are occupied by :4bowser::4zelda::4luigi::4megaman::4shulk:
And the other 3 ones are saved for :4lucina::4palutena::4ryu:

I'm just glad I snapped up a Samus amiibo quickly.
Samus is actually really common where I live.

I haven't been interested in amiibo in awhile, though. I might pick up Lucas, Roy, Ryu and Mewtwo if I can find them (And not have to pay a buttload for them...I know, funny thought, right?), but I've lost interest until Nintendo learns how to stock these things.

@ Jason the Yoshi Jason the Yoshi You're never too old to enjoy Pokemon. Same with the Lavender Town theme. :094:

If (no pun intended) it helps, I can link a few videos from the channel that avoid the 3rd DLC path.
yeah that would be good, since I want to actually keep the 3rd path a secret

Oh god, I thought you meant you had 8 Pikachus (I could easily buy 7 more, he is super common like I dont know what)

I go to a pretty rigorous university, am nineteen, and took an extra job at the school newspaper and more shifts in a food service gig, and I still have time for Pokemon.


Sensing a theme here.

Meh. People should be able to play whatever they want. That being said, I do find older people (30+) playing Pokémon as a weird thing, but maybe that's just my opinion. The franchise isn't really made for me. I suck at every single main series game, too.

I only have three Amiibo.
:4kirby::4link::4pacman:

Unfortunately, the two I really wanted the most are the rarest. I hope I'll be able to get Olimar and G&W at least...

I'm twice the age of the average Toy Story fan yet I spent an assload of money on the merchandise and other Pixar products. I also take rigorous courses yet play Fire Emblem, Super Smash Bros., Super Mario, and F-Zero.

It's normal to grow out of things but not because you feel the need to "be mature" or "fit in". I shamelessly play with action figures around my friends.

I like Paper Mario, I'm 17, doing colleges in computer science, frequent smashboards daily, am typing on a wiiu, plays paper mario games, likes logic, lobes the color green, think video games are art...

AND I STILL PLAY POKEMON!!!!

(actually, that's false, I don't have much time and don't want to give much priority because I lost a 300 hours save but the point is, everything I said had no meaning, if you don't play it, you either just don't want to, or it's not worth to put much time anymore).

You know, it doesn't surprise me that someone as flamboyant as Dio is voicing the gay character.

It's also jarring hearing that calm and collected voice, then seeing this.

Lucky. I'm coughing up $315.00 + S&H from Japan to ship out this BAMF:

Sure, he's going to make a great display piece but it still hurts to shell out more than $200 for a single toy.

I still play Pokemon, though I think i'm getting tired of buying new installments. I just like playing the game itself.

That's why Showdown is a thing! :4pacman:
