Amiibo Discussion Thread 2: I Got 99 Pre-orders But A Rosalina Ain't One

Not open for further replies.
Awesome I figured it was from Avatar. I had momentary debate with myself to ask if that was the case once.
I'd bet money nobody can guess what mine is related too unless your a big history buff or know alot about powerful figures through history or ancient military.(of which I'm none of those things I just thought the name sounded cool when I heard it and I decided to mix it up a bit.)

That's why I have the tag "Master Cancer Bender". In the show you have Master air bender (or whatever element someone can master). So it's just a play on that. I beat my cancer. So I was able to master and bend my cancer. :P

Kind of corny. But it means a lot to me.

I'd absolutely love to if I had a car to go back to Houston. Plus I also need Marth & the rest of the Holy Trinity (mainly Marth). I can try to buy Marth off one guy on campus.

Oh man that must be brutal. :(

If I saw all those at one store, it would be driving me nuts to not be able to go get them. I mean, if they are still in stock today (and they had a ton of stock)...I wouldn't worry about it selling out. They've gone this long without selling. Means no one gives a shit about them in that area, or knows. So lol. Still insane to think, a Target has figures going for $100 on Ebay...and they just have all of them casually sitting there in plenty of stock. INSANE. Absolutely insane.

That part of Houston isn't a very gaming-centric area. Granted, the GameStop near my home had the last copy of Xenoblade in the city (or quite possibly the state) as opposed to the GameStop near the Super Target, so I guess that part of the city just isn't into NFC figures.
 
I'd absolutely love to if I had a car to go back to Houston. Plus I also need Marth & the rest of the Holy Trinity (mainly Marth). And the car I took to find the Super Target in the first place is in repair. I can try to buy Marth off one guy on campus.

Besides, I need to check if that Super Target has some of the rare Wave 2 Amiibos in the back.

Where is this Super Target in Houston you speak of? If it's not too far from I am willing to make the drive to see if they have any Villagers. That's kind of the one I really don't want to not have, lol.

i thought it was time based?
I don't really post on GAF too much but I'm a regular Member
I think I've only been on here for a year or so

It's quite far away from the Woodlands or Cypress, & I mean FAR. I found the place by chance.
And now I fear that talking about it on GAF let loose a ton of lurking Amiibros on a manhunt for that Super Target.

Don't forget about your old pal CH4OS if they have 2 villager ;]

Tags are given out by mods/admins. Usually you get tagged if you make a really epic post. Although it's often used to shame people that make stupid posts lmao.

A really kind admin gave me this, so I could celebrate my victory over cancer. I'm really grateful. I wouldn't be here today without GAF. They basically were my only family and support. So to be able to proudly say I beat cancer on here, it just means so much. :)

As far as Junior status goes, I think it has do with how long you've been here (it's time based).

That store didnt happen to have Villager did it?

Supposedly the store had Marth, Wii Fit Trainer, Villager, Fox. And it had ABUNDANT stock of them. Well, that is what one member says. I don't live in Texas, so I can't go there in person.
 
If you want to be really cruel, you need photoshop. Yes this is fake. I apologize for any heart attacks.

Im afraid that I am starting to get burned out on this amiibo stuff. Between all the Rosalina drama and the announcement of the Super Mario line of amiibo, I realized that this isnt much fun anymore.

I found it during my manhunt for a second GameCube Adapter. I recall going there once to look for the GameCube Adapter the first time, so I revisited the place since it was on my way anyway. I could retrace my mileage to find it, but again, no car right now.

lol I guess. I mean, a bigger worry is the amount of guests that lurk these threads. I imagine we probably have 100 + people that aren't GAF members, who probably keep tabs on this thread as a resource for info.

I would try to make my way back there as soon as you can.

I don't doubt you. I just meant, since I'm not there in person, I didn't want to tell someone to go somewhere I don't know.

just a question, how do you check who has the most posts (I think it's called the Wall of Shame for some?)

On mobile, go the bottom right and click Tools then Most Posts or something. Azula has us all beat.
 

The Animal Crossing Amiibos are going to be the best!

Doing a bit of a strange giveaway here.
I've been making a few custom Amiibos which has resulted in me being left with Amiibo parts.

Stuff I'm willing to give out (preferably all to one person to make it easier to send):
Pikachu Amiibo With No NFC Chip (Give me a week and you'll see why)
Mario Amiibo with no stand. (I made a custom Mario with Bob Hoskins as the figure. It meant ripping the old Mario off. So now I have a random Mario Amiibo (also badly painted) just lying on my desk)
Mario, Link and Pikachu EU packaging. All complete with the boxes, manual and cardboard backing(and that infuriating aluminium strip). Because they're opened, the packing is a bit of a mess.

Not asking for any money, but just a small cost to cover shipping(will ship to US).

I didn't say it wasn't awesome I attached the two together after I first heard your story nothing corny about it at all its awesome :D

And my username comes from a combination of things. Genghis Khan is known is history as the blue wolf because of all the troubles he went through despite what he did to claim nations during his reign. While Mahatma Gandhi would be remembered by some scholars as the White Wolf as an agressively passive agressive wolf of sorts for all his accomplishments. I like the term Green as it suits my personality and wolf as I tend to agressively attack any and all goals that come my way. So yeah and the 7 has been a consistently lucky number for me and my and family for a very long time.

getting close, 300 posts (35left) and 3months since you registered. but you can get yours earlier.

Morning amiibogaf!

Ah, gotcha thanks!
I actually registered years ago because I wanted to talk to other people about Playstation All-Stars as I was pretty pumped for it. But the approval process took soooo dam long that Playstation All-Stars was long gone by the time I could start posting.
So my account sat there dormant until this amiibo obsession and I met you lovely folks!
 
To be fair, this thread helps me out a lot right now. I know I've said it a bazillion times, but I'm still dealing with PTSD from my cancer, and struggling with my remission. So this community helps me out a lot. I like spending time with people I consider my friends and family.

So it's probably why I'm posting so much more than most.

Also, what's the criteria for the giveaway?

your 633 posts though. ded.
 
Falcon back up on Amazon also, with scalp price. I wonder why the heck they did this? Best Buy and Walmart did some merging on their site too. I hope this is was somehow a prep or precursor to wave 4 preorders. *cues Phil Collins' In The Air Tonight*
 
Welp finally bought a bunch. Went to a few stores and people were talkative at all of them. Guy at Toysrus said they got 2 Foxes in today but both were sold to people that worked there, one I could still see just hanging out behind the counter, so there's that. Gamestop did the most Gamestop thing that they could and all the ones they were selling had a big price sticker on the cardboard. Guess it doesn't matter since I plan on opening all the ones I get, but still amusing. A few customers came up to me when I was comparing paint jobs asking if I knew where to get <insert rare name here> like I knew what I was doing. Employee at Target asked if I knew anything about Marth since people keep asking him about it and he had never see it in stock. Was the most I've talked to people in months.

Afraid of putting my order into Amazon for all the common ones I didn't get today since I had to go through a lot of them on the shelves to find ones without messed up paint/bent parts.

Yeah it feels weird. This thread was way under way before I got here. I just kind of showed up. People were really accepting of me. And then this kind of became a second home for me. It's weird how it feels like I've always been here.

Nothing. Just if you're interested, PM me. I was going to throw these out but I'm sure someone on AmiiboGAF would want some of these little Amiibo parts, so I thought I'd ask if anyone wants 'em first.

I think 'giveaway' wasn't really the best word to use, ha.

Wow and here me thinking I've been over posting in this thread. Kinda a relief actually.
 
300 posts, or I think if you are on the board for x amount of time. Most people hit 300 posts first though ( if they are active).

It's both post-based and time-based. I think right now you have to make 300 posts and be registered for three months.

(It used to be 100 posts and one month, if I recall correctly.)

Ah okay. I never understood the way it worked completely hah. I always assumed it was NEOGAF MAGIC.

Well, you have a lot of energy to go around and you are really nice, and even before you arrived everyone was so great too! Its only natural you´ll feel comfortable since we all do too.

I went from Junior Member to Member on my 300th post. Not sure if that was coincidence or not. If not, you should be getting your promotion soon!

EDIT: Looks like I need to read earlier posts first.

300 posts and 3 months. Since you're from 2012 and have 267 posts, there are still 33 posts until you become a full fledged member.

EDIT: Yep, beaten.

0.o I had no clue I posted that much!
