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

Status
Not open for further replies.
Thanks to everyone messaging me offering their Rosalina. But it's not about not getting Rosalina. I didn't mean for it to come off lik a child throwing a tantrum. Although certainly to a degree my actions are childish.

As you all know, I've been going through a lot emotionally. I spent a year and a half battling cancer. During that time my cousin who was my best friend and only support IRL took her life. This absolutely devastated me and broke my heart. I gave up if I'm being honest. I lost the will to live. My own mother told me I deserved to die. That God gave me cancer to punish me as an atheist. So not even my own family wanted me to live. It was very hard.

I was able to pull through with the love and support from friends on GAF. People on here became my family. But then I struggled with remission. I had PTSD from my cousins death, my cancer ravaging my body. What my own mother did. And I allowed all of this to drive away my best friend. The only person that supported me in real life. The person I really loved more than anything.

So I then spent time rebuilding myself. I was seeing a therapist. I started dating this wonderful person who is supporting me and all my issues. Every day I'm getting better and better. Collecting Amiibos allowed me to keep my mind off the negative emotions I was struggling with. I love Nintendo and collecting these was fun and brought me joy. Being able to look at them made me happy.

Being apart of this community also brought me joy. I had new friends. It was so much fun talking about something I was passionate about with others. Sharing in that joy. It's why I went out of my way to make the Google document and personally help other people complete their collections. I wanted to make others happy. Because it made me happy. I wanted this to be a generous community that looked after each other. I had no issue buying Amiibos and giving them away free. Because I wanted to share my joy with others.

But because collecting these were helping me keep my mind off things, collecting them also meant a lot to me. The way Nintendo is releasing these (lack of info, random pre-order times, scattered release dates, not enough supply, discontinuing figures) has started to make me not feel good. I've been slightly stressed and on edge because I really badly wanted these. Rosalina in particular (my fav character), I spent a week glued to my computer and phone hoping to get a chance. I step away for 5 min with my GF and it goes up on PlayAsia and is gone. This made me feel so shitty and sad.

And I feel like, the way Nintendo is handling this, makes it not as fun as it should be. Now I just feel so sad. And I know that is partly because im more emotional than I normally am because of what im going through. But it feels bad. And I got into this to feel good. That is why I decided to stop. So it wasn't just missing out on Rosalina, it's the way Nintendo is handling this that Im starting to realize is kind of ruining this as a fun hobby. That pre-orders sell out under 5 min and that could mean never getting something...is absolutely insane. Also fuck exclusives. :/

I know this is a long winded rant. I just want to be happy. I'm so sorry that I've let anyone down. Maybe I'm just a terrible person. Maybe I'm weak. I guess the person I am in this moment, isn't worthy of people like you. I'm sorry. I just wish all this Amiibo stuff was better handled.

I'm really sorry. I love you guys so much. Words can't even express how much your friendship has meant to me. How this community and collecting Amiibos allowed me to be happy and not focus so much on the negative things that happened to me.

I'm just so sorry.

You take care of yourself, mate. I hope you & your girlfriend will have fun in Japan, along with just not trying to sweat the small stuff in general. Also, feel free to drop by & say hi. :)

But I agree with you. While I rarely say this, Nintendo of America should go & eat a bag of dicks for making this whole situation stressful/aggrivating for everyone. I'm no expert on the matter, but you would think by now they would've taken a clue that they needed to properly make these figurines more accessable to obtain in North America. It isn't funny that most of us are jumping through hoops to get some of our favourites, while most of Europe & Japan can walk into any store & buy them straight on the shelf.

I still feel the initial plan for Nintendo with these was to test the market. I mean at the pace of sales they will out sell the Wii U itself quickly I'm pretty sure they anticipated on so many people buying so many and certain ones. I think the issue overseas to be perfectly honest is less people per area region. that want them. I'd like to see the sales break down of each region of both Wii U AND Amiibos in comparison my money is world wide probably 2 to 1 sales of amiibo to Wii U's end over end and much higher than that in certain regions. I think they didn't expect a lot of people without the systems to even want them. However I know many do purely because they are collectibles of certain favorite characters.
 
Dude Azula, no apologies needed. The situation with everything Nintendo right now is screwed up because people like John and low prints.

If things are stressing you out you should back away, we still love you here at GAF and the Amiibo thread in particular though, never forget that.

Enjoy your vacation!

Hmm... I have a feeling your gonna wind up with a whole set from this community alone at least from the smash line (whether or not you actually want them lol) You've done too much heck I'll make a google doc and simply title it whom will get a azula x amiibo and I'd bet money it fills in a few days. And I'm pretty sure you will be happy with a full set just as much as accepting the way Nintendo has handled this is the same way they have handled everything since they became a company :) So with that said I still say take your vacation rest relax come back fighting :)

Again, relax, no need to feel sorry for anyone, no even yourself. This is toys we are talking about. Its fun to collect them, its fun talk about them and its fun to hunt for them.

It can be tiring too and life gets in the way, but there is no need for you to apologize to us nor say you are a terrible person.A terrible person
likes evangelion
is someone who doesn´t care about the happiness of others, and you certainly care.

And yes, Nintendo could be making a better job at this and it fucking sucks for people like us who wanted them all. But see it this way: If it wasn´t as scarce as it is, then It wouldn´t be as attractive as it is for a lot of us. The rarity makes the toys special, and we are able to share that joy with more people. Even if Nintendo is in the slow side, the Marth restock proves they can and hopefully will provide enough for everyone.

Maybe I´m too optimistic, but I too love to rant about how much I enjoy hunting this stuff. Maybe its because its part of my job, maybe its because I´m online everyday or maybe its because I just love Nintendo oh so much. I´m a self centered jerk, but even someone like me can recognize that what you do is special and, if you so wish, you deserve a break.

Just don´t call yourself weak and stuff like that, its just a lie you say to yourself to put you down and you know is not true, you are great and you know it =D.
 
Geez, I had no idea that's how it was for you, Azula. I know what it's like to lose someone that way. My older brother took his own life 2 years ago and I don't know if I'll ever get over it.

As fun as amiibo collecting/hunting should be, nothing is worth putting a strain on your health. Focusing on getting better should be your main concern.
I think we're all in agreement on the fact that scalpers and the way Nintendo is handling amiibos sure does take away from what should be a fun and stress-free hobby.

Don't feel bad that you need to take a step back to collect yourself or in any way feel that you're unworthy of this community. This place wouldn't be the same without you.

Keep your head up! Enjoy your trip to Japan and come back strong. We're all here for you to fall back on!

Azula, I've been part of this amiibo community for less than a week and I can see you we're a great member of it and did a lot for it as well. You're actually a big part in why I'm deciding to stick around and collect more amiibo, because you really made the community look appealing, fun, and friendly. Especially when you were amiibo-fying everyone's avatars.

You should feel no shame backing away from all this amiibo stuff, especially with all that you have been through. I wish nothing but the best for you and hope you stay strong.
 
Azula! Keep on trucking buddy! No need to say sorry! Us amiibros and amiigals got to stick together :D. Even though you might leave us today your always going to be a amiibro to me!

Just selecting this part of your post to let you know that all of this is absolutely not true. You're not weak, nor unworthy: you're just human--and so are the rest of us! You've played a huge part in creating and developing this little community of amiibros and amiigals, so to even insinuate you've let anyone down is inherently untrue. I agree that Nintendo's lack of transparency and the scalpers' business practices are pretty despicable, but that's why we're all here: to commiserate, to collaborate, to communicate, to cooperate.

You've been through a lot over the past few months, but we're all here to cheer for you and cheer you up. :D Keep your head up, friend!

When I first read your posts here I told my wife about you and your courage and strength. She acknowledges this fact after reading your story of struggles. Believe in yourself because we will always believe in you and be there for you. I'll try and snag an extra Amiibo from each Wave until I hear of your return. Whatever you need I got you buddy. When my wife asks why the heck I have two of each I'll tell her it's for you and she'll support me all the way.

Enjoy your vacation and life and whenever you want to read our journeys of the hunt, we welcome that. Whenever you want to post and say hi, we look forward to that. And whenever you want to return to us, we'll say you never really left us. Take care!
 
I get these are just toys. Maybe I'm just dealing with a bunch of other shit so some can't understand. Oh well. I won't blame anyone for thinking I'm being pathetic. All I can say is, it's not really about toys. But oh well. Sorry for wasting anyone's time.

If you get a moment please respond to my pm :) unrelated...
Related you didn't waste anyones time infact proportionately due solely to the amiibo-fied avatars you created you saved minutes to hours per person you made them for :). Also you helped several people in need of amiibo. Your a good person and from your actions in this thread you have nothing to apologize for. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise even if that person is yourself. I wont allow it. But its hard typing this as honestly speaking from a psychological standpoint. I feel that tough love may be more in order of this situation however, logic in your reasoning isn't to be understated here as well. But if your happier to have all the amiibo get them as you seem to habe the cash to do so without worry just keep a level head and from here forward jump on preorders if you choose to jump back in the game. And if not its totally fine. Buy them slowly as you want. But do NOT lose sanity over these. I completely understand them grounding you for the time being and that collecting them was both a distraction and a meaningful way to start reconnecting to a hobby you hold dear after all you've been through. But take a step back chill you bith need and deserve it. But no more of this down trodding upon yourself we won't allow it!
Hope you read this...

Nobody's calling you pathetic, you fantastic person! Maybe we're just all high strung on Wave 4 preorders. Please take some time off to go and relax because we'll be right here for you. :)

On another note, if anyone still needs their avatar amiibofied I can keep doing 'em. Still practicing on making transparent ones well.
 
I'm hoping that my EB Games will be able to contact me as soon as they get the go-ahead to allow customers to pre-order the upcoming figurines for Wave 4. With Pit being gifted to me by Kierwynn, as well as King Dedede & Meta Knight being pre-orders from last August on AmiAmi, all I want is Ness now.

I can understand Nintendo's thinking that they should make fewer of the less popular characters. The problem, however, is they rarely promise to pull through on subsequent runs and producing more to meet the market's demand; They simply allow things to become rare. There was no reason why NOA couldn't have produced another run of the rare and desirable characters until the market was satisfied (though with Marth's Amiibo being reissued later this year, it does give me hope). Also, the Animal Crossing series is easily Nintendo's most accessible (& popular) franchises to date, I find it weird that the Villager Amiibo wasn't produced in similar numbers to Mario & Link's Amiibo's.

As someone who doesn't post often and isn't really bothered about getting all the Amiibo, I can't understate how much more pleasant and welcoming this thread is with your presence. And the Korra threads, too - I lurk most of the time, but you're just one of those posters that makes this forum a better place to be. Take all the time you need and relax and enjoy your break - I'm incredibly jealous of you going to Japan, especially since I'm just starting class again today. And as much as this stuff may get you bothered and down, we all recognise and relate to what it means to you and if you decide to come back and ever get bothered or worried or concerned or ANYTHING about getting your collection, just post to let everyone know and I know that people will jump at the chance to help you out; just because we all know you'd do the same for us.

And yeah, I'm coming out of a bad year (nowhere near what you've been through, though) and getting these things just makes me smile. They're comforting to me, and it's nice to have something to devote a bit of time to and to focus on a little. So I totally feel you on that one. But I agree that waves 3 and 4 would have stressed me to no end by now if I'd been trying to get Rosalina etc.

As much as I'm just a random guy and you've had a million people say this by now, please feel free to PM me if you ever need anything because I'm all ears and will do anything I can. Enjoy your break and I look forward to seeing you around somewhere soon. :)

I'd argue Wii Fit is more accessible and popular also. But yeah Nintendo isn't dumb they do fill the market that actually wants an item what they do not factor in is scaplers. Of which they are hundreds in number now and buy tons of stock just sell at ridiculous prices.
Its honestly not that the items are all that rare per say I mean look at the prices of the 20th anniversary ps4 thats not even that rare at 12,300 there are many items much fewer in number that go for far far less. The issue is the increased demand once something becomes rare because it makes more people who weren't looking for it initially aware the item exist in the first place and is rare thus they want it.
 
I bet I'm not alone in hoping that the new Fire Emblem game gets it's own set of amiibo and that the game itself has amiibo support.

Maybe it would be something like Hyrule Warriors were a couple times per day you can scan one and get some random low level item or some small amount of gold and then ones with actual support get you an item or something specific to that character.

I feel like the possibilities for these things are endless though.

Thanks to everyone messaging me offering their Rosalina. But it's not about not getting Rosalina. I didn't mean for it to come off lik a child throwing a tantrum. Although certainly to a degree my actions are childish.

As you all know, I've been going through a lot emotionally. I spent a year and a half battling cancer. During that time my cousin who was my best friend and only support IRL took her life. This absolutely devastated me and broke my heart. I gave up if I'm being honest. I lost the will to live. My own mother told me I deserved to die. That God gave me cancer to punish me as an atheist. So not even my own family wanted me to live. It was very hard.

I was able to pull through with the love and support from friends on GAF. People on here became my family. But then I struggled with remission. I had PTSD from my cousins death, my cancer ravaging my body. What my own mother did. And I allowed all of this to drive away my best friend. The only person that supported me in real life. The person I really loved more than anything.

So I then spent time rebuilding myself. I was seeing a therapist. I started dating this wonderful person who is supporting me and all my issues. Every day I'm getting better and better. Collecting Amiibos allowed me to keep my mind off the negative emotions I was struggling with. I love Nintendo and collecting these was fun and brought me joy. Being able to look at them made me happy.

Being apart of this community also brought me joy. I had new friends. It was so much fun talking about something I was passionate about with others. Sharing in that joy. It's why I went out of my way to make the Google document and personally help other people complete their collections. I wanted to make others happy. Because it made me happy. I wanted this to be a generous community that looked after each other. I had no issue buying Amiibos and giving them away free. Because I wanted to share my joy with others.

But because collecting these were helping me keep my mind off things, collecting them also meant a lot to me. The way Nintendo is releasing these (lack of info, random pre-order times, scattered release dates, not enough supply, discontinuing figures) has started to make me not feel good. I've been slightly stressed and on edge because I really badly wanted these. Rosalina in particular (my fav character), I spent a week glued to my computer and phone hoping to get a chance. I step away for 5 min with my GF and it goes up on PlayAsia and is gone. This made me feel so shitty and sad.

And I feel like, the way Nintendo is handling this, makes it not as fun as it should be. Now I just feel so sad. And I know that is partly because im more emotional than I normally am because of what im going through. But it feels bad. And I got into this to feel good. That is why I decided to stop. So it wasn't just missing out on Rosalina, it's the way Nintendo is handling this that Im starting to realize is kind of ruining this as a fun hobby. That pre-orders sell out under 5 min and that could mean never getting something...is absolutely insane. Also fuck exclusives. :/

I know this is a long winded rant. I just want to be happy. I'm so sorry that I've let anyone down. Maybe I'm just a terrible person. Maybe I'm weak. I guess the person I am in this moment, isn't worthy of people like you. I'm sorry. I just wish all this Amiibo stuff was better handled.

I'm really sorry. I love you guys so much. Words can't even express how much your friendship has meant to me. How this community and collecting Amiibos allowed me to be happy and not focus so much on the negative things that happened to me.

I'm just so sorry.

I've read a lot of your posts and your awesome and kind.

I know what it's like to purchase and use things to occupy your mind, I found out my father has stage 4 cancer in Jan and I have been spending a lot of time on certain things to keep my mind occupied.

If you ever need someone to talk to or to vent feel free to pm me.

And if there was anywhere in the world I could go it would be Japan. So have an awesome trip :).

It's late here but I had to come tell you not to apologize to anyone. You're not pathetic or weak either. You've been strong enough to go through what you have and not give up. You have a relationship with someone who cares about you and you know we do too. I said before that, as a believer of God, I couldn't tell you what your mom did. That's not right. I thank God you're still here and strong enough to admit you need to stop because it's not making you happy. You just focus on what makes you happy and we'll stress out for you.

Take care, enjoy your vacation, and feel free to stop by and just say hi if you ever want to.

You take care of yourself, mate. I hope you & your girlfriend will have fun in Japan, along with just not trying to sweat the small stuff in general. Also, feel free to drop by & say hi. :)

But I agree with you. While I rarely say this, Nintendo of America should go & eat a bag of dicks for making this whole situation stressful/aggrivating for everyone. I'm no expert on the matter, but you would think by now they would've taken a clue that they needed to properly make these figurines more accessable to obtain in North America. It isn't funny that most of us are jumping through hoops to get some of our favourites, while most of Europe & Japan can walk into any store & buy them straight on the shelf.

I gave up on the jakks pacific world of Nintendo figures for the same reasons. I've been on the fence for amiibos too. It's pathetic the Nintendo repeatedly makes it so goddamn hard to give them your money, but they do it so much that they're either incompetent or they enjoy watching it happen.
 
Just for the sake of it, I put a Little Mac on eBay at 99p. Sol it for £32. Damn people are willing to pay 3x the amount for Amiibos!? I saw stupid but it now prices at £22 from scalpers but it seems bidding isfar more profitable. Crazy.
That being said, it paid off my three Wii Fit Trainers.

Nice video here. We can all relate to this. This guy is a very well-spoken.

Not to sound rude but he's just as clued in about NoA as us. Also, NoE is far worse. We have no-one to talk to. No PR personality like Iwata or Reggie. No Nintendo events. It's honestly much worse in the EU.

Wow that's terrible. Laters Azula. Definitely a most valued member here on AmiiboGAF. Pop in at times :)
All the best.

Wehkamp had Wave 4 and the Mario Amiibo up for preorder. 13,99 a piece and shipping at 1,95.

Unfortunately the 3 for 2 promotion is not applicable for these.

Wave 4 preorders are not up yet. They're only up on EBGames Australia and Game.co.uk

And EB New Zealand now.

I feel really bad for you NA folk. They aren't exactly well stocked here but at least we get them if we preorder early. So far anyway...
 
I wanted only the FE amiibos (because of the Codename: STEAM dlc).

Now I got Marth, Ike, Shulk, Mario, Sanic, Mega Man coming.

Soon my 4-way battle of Mario, Sonic, Mega Man and Pac-Man will be complete.

I bet I'm not alone in hoping that the new Fire Emblem game gets it's own set of amiibo and that the game itself has amiibo support.

Maybe it would be something like Hyrule Warriors were a couple times per day you can scan one and get some random low level item or some small amount of gold and then ones with actual support get you an item or something specific to that character.

I feel like the possibilities for these things are endless though.

Well if Codename STEAM gets Amiibo support I'd imagine Fire Emblem will too.

Yeah I'm canceling my Amazon.co.uk order, cheaper on Amiami even if I buy a single item w/ shipping.

Indeed.

Shipping is more or less free for me on AmiAmi, since I just added him to my monthly order already placed there. I can't imagine his size/weight adding too much to the cost of my shipping.
 
Wow it's been a while since I've posted here. Has the pre-order for Rosalina at Target ever gone back up since the last time I knew it was up which would be December 30th (since I got a nowinstock notification for it to my email but wasn't home and didn't check my email until too late)

Nice, I don't really import anymore but this beats trying to fight everyone for this Shulk lol.

Also the Mario Party ones are available again for preorder now.

I get these are just toys. Maybe I'm just dealing with a bunch of other shit so some can't understand. Oh well. I won't blame anyone for thinking I'm being pathetic. All I can say is, it's not really about toys. But oh well. Sorry for wasting anyone's time.

Bye
