Yeah... I don't get why amiibos have such a long time. 15 says is more than enough for the average Joe.

Oh and just read the gold and silver Mario thread. Noticed Horizon saying someone stole his waifu's name. I'm surprised Lucina wasn't taken for two years.

As for gold and silver Mario. Clearly gold is for California as they are the golden state so they can have that. And silver is for Nevada which is the silver state. Thankfully I live in Vegas and prefer silver. The rest of you are screwed.


Forget that. We know scalpers will sell her on eBay eventually. I'll just wait there for one.

15? For something like amiibos, it should be 2-3 days. That would certainly discourage scalpers.

Well it's more of it being a general return policy that people can take advantage of. Something that is in place for consumers but is taken advantage of by jerks. The lack of any risk is one of the main things that is so bad about a large number of scalping methods. Something like selling preorders is another easy example. The scalper gets the money right away before they even have to pay the full price for the item and just changes the shipping location.

Fine 7 days. I would like the 2-3 days too but it wouldn't be fair to actual customers that hope to return it and were busy with school or work to do so.

Yeah. Sucks. They really should find a middle ground where certain items have shorter periods
 
What happened to Horizon? I'm not seeing any ban-worthy posts. GAF is a scary place.

They came from Toys R Us in two separate boxes from the same fulfillment center in Groveport, OH.

Lucina said:
Cool!

Let me set up my stuff. I've never played with anyone on 3DS or Wii U. Going to boot up my systems and will write down all my info and putt it in my profile. Then I'll send you a request. Will also PM anyone that wants to be my friend and play. :)

This is great, because I have zero friends on my nintendo consoles. Would love to be friends with FE/Lucina lovers. We must stick together!

Feel free to PM me, I'd like some other Lucina mains to practice against!

I'm watching Big Hero 6 for the first time. In 40 min I'll add everyone and make sure to PM too. I can't wait to have some friends on my Nintendo consoles.

Lucina the best. Bringing people together <3
 
lolol

Horizon was unbanned not too long ago. most surreal thing. known that dude for a shit long time, never seen him get banned. now he's been banned twice in a short time.

come back soon, breh ;_;
 
Wait the"w-word" is bannable now? lol

Also going to find it hilarious if those variant Mario amiibos are the last Gold/Plat rewards for CN. What a perfect way to mess with people NoA.
 
If anyone in the US does get an extra Lucario they're not using for trade, I'm still looking to buy one; don't have much amiibo budget for a few weeks so can't go much over cost and shipping sadly.
 
Lucina said:
That's me! And I didn't take it as harassment :(

I knew he was kidding. I hope I didn't get him banned. Would feel awful.

You didn't get him banned. He got himself banned. Don't feel bad. People get banned all the time on GAF ... it is the way of things.

Hopefully Horizon's ban isn't very long.

We need you back buddy. I can't make "Thank you Horizon but your Rosalina amiibo is in another castle" gifs if you're not here.

if it is...I have to proofread more of my posts

Yeah. I didn't know anything about it being bannable either. Went to proofread myself. Either way if it is, they really should put that in the rules somewhere.

Which is quite funny considering your name may have just got someone banned(if the waifu post is true).
Lucina - destroying the Amiibo community(joke).
Click to expand...

I feel bad about that. I honestly didn't mean him to get banned. I've never been into the Waifu stuff. Lucina is just my favorite character. I like her personality and design and she's my favorite character in Smash to play (im female btw).

:/

I hope it's only temp. Sorry again.

"Well, we can't seem to get our shit together as far as Amiibo distribution in North America. What can we do about that?"

"Special collector Amiibos?"

"Genius. Get on it."

"the lead time on production changes in the Chinese factories is too huge! We need to buy time!"

"if we make special promo Amiibo,the scalpers will kill each other fighting over them! That will give the illusion of increasing supply. By the time survivors are out of the hospital we will have actually upped production."
 
Sorry to hear Horizon got banned, geez. Hope it's just a quick temp one.

Random side note: Finally decided to watch Good Will Hunting after YEARS of putting it off. I'm sure it'll be great! Thank you Netflix!
 
So I hope the guy I got the Rosalinas from off Ebay really did ship em out. I want to hopefully trade one for Shulk since I don't think any of the GS's around me are gonna get extras.

Rosalina probably isn't worth a Shulk. You might could trade Pit or Little Mac for Shulk, but probably not Rosalina.
 
Shulk is going to be worth at least two Rosalinas. I'm really feeling it in my amiibones!

It's fine. Hopefully it's only temp. But yeah once again. I noticed you only joined recently. I'm really surprised with her popularity that no one took that name sooner.
