Had trouble sleeping again since I got too excited about the Club Nintendo stuff last night, glad I ordered yesterday since I heard the site is dead atm.

Woke up late, just came back from haircut and doing some cleaning around my room.

Lol had trouble sleeping too.. but it's been like that for the last few weeks. My sleep schedule is so screwed up. Ugh... I wish I could have ordered my stuff last night too. Need to figure out what's the deal with my sister's Club Nintendo account not registering points for digital purchases.
 
I'm trying to clean my desk so here's my current opened figures.

I'll open Bowser when I get him in a few days (unless his paint is shit)

Love the Shadow Toon Link! Did you do that yourself, or did you commission it?

Thanks! I painted it myself, but I fucked up on the face so I need to fix it before I sell it on eBay. I'm very picky about details so I think whoever buys it won't find as many problems as me lol, but I don't like to sell things that aren't acceptable + I'm not that skilled.

My sleep has been screwed for months since they gave me more hours at work, try working 4PM-12AM 4-5 times a day. I started exercising just so I won't slowly die. Trying to find a new job.

Digital games don't give points now do they? Except retail games? I'm not 100% sure though.
 
Side note, I guess. How was everyone' day today in general?
Well, as you saw before when you were helping me with info, I got my orders in for the 7 Mega Man amiibos I needed, 3 from Nippon-Yassan, and 4 from Nin-Nin. If all goes well, I'll have 'em all by late this month/early March.

So, next was finding someone to take out a commission with, and I just got done negotiating a price. He's this guy on tumblr called Saludos Amiibos, and his prices are very fair, compared to others I've seen offering these services. I'm very confident in his abilities, as you can see for yourself if you scroll down his page:

Very excited that this is all coming to fruition, and I have to thank that guy for offering his services to my project. Just gotta wait for these amiibos to come in to get the ball rollin'. Can't wait to post pics!

Man, that makes me really happy to hear that. You sound like a really cool guy. Wish you were local. Would be nice to hang out with some amiibros/gals.

Bronchitis here, and the girlfriend has pneumonia. :( Trying to keep a happy face on, but I've been at school since 8am this morning, and about out of smiles, haha.

Other than that though, hunky-dorey. :)

Oh no.

I totally know how you feel. Well, in terms of being really sick and tired, and trying ur best to keep smiling. Hope you get better soon. Seriously, I'll send all my well wishes your way. Hope both of you get better quick.

pretty dope I guess. I'm gonna get a rosalina from reggieandTFE, just waiting to know if the total he gave me is going under the assumption of paying for friends or services. I don't use paypal much @_@

Great to hear. Glad you found someone with an extra.

Guy seems to do great work.
 
I wish had talent/skill with painting. I would botch my Amiibos if I tried a custom job. I play music professionally, and also write. Currently working in film working some major composers.

So I have SOME talent. But painting is NOT one of them.

EDIT: I'll have to look into that link you guys posted. Might hit him up to do a custom job.
 
Mega Man is more common then Sheik? I find that hard to believe, especially since Sheik can/could be used outside of Smash and we all know Capcom is never touching MM again

in what? if you mean hyrule warriors I'm fairly certain that all amiibos who aren't link/toon link all do the same thing, just give you a random bonus once a day with a total of like 8 amiibos being able to used a day.

Well college classes screwed me up 2-3 years ago. It's just I've been alternating between getting some balanced sleep and not. Last semester of college and I have yet to find work so I'll be looking for jobs too.

Well her to do list is empty so even if they expired it should have said that in her to do list and she purchased a digital game just last month which was before then. The big thing I need to get registered is her 3DS though since that is a big chunk of points right there.

I'm really hoping for a sequel Hyrule Warriors just so we can have an amiibo line for it. So many waifus in that game
 
Is it really sad that I actually remember where that Link came from? It was picture of Toon Link with Cucco. Man, SmashGAF POTD Threads was a lot of fun!

Yep! Unfortunately this avatar will be kicked to the trash. :(

Should have read more closely. Still trying to find a pic of Toon Link in smash with him frowning.

Haha, thanks man! You're a good guy yourself, helping everyone out the way you have. If we all lived near each other, I'm sure this'd be a super tight-knit community, no doubt! Can't really say I've seen the same level of enthusiasm for collecting amiibos from people I know irl that I've seen here, but I feel like I might have had at least some influence in some of them wanting to try collecting them all!

And aw man, I'd be so damn proud to show off that finished Mega Man set in person. Pics wouldn't do it justice, but they'd come close!

I'm tellin' you, this guy's work is legit. He doesn't have a lot posted yet, but you should absolutely see what he's capable of. Like I said, judging just from the stuff I've seen, I know he's gonna make the Mega Mans look fantastic!

Random shot, you in So Cal?

Answer: No.

Hey I tried. :P

That sucks, don't have any advice for sleep unfortunately.

Maybe you can email Nintendo about the to-do list, maybe they disabled some of them. It's really hard to say.

I got HW for my birthday in December from my friends, need some time to get into it. I pretty much just played Smash and hunted Amiibos lol.
 
So if I understand correctly, the Super Mario series Mario will not be sold standalone, right?

That sucks, I don't want Mario Party 10...

It's cool. Just got to self discipline.

And I'll probably do that once I check her 3DS myself and see if something went wrong.

And nice. Hope you enjoy it.

Get it from AmiAmi.

It's a timed exclusive in NA, so you can buy it in the future. They just won't release it alone during MP's launch.

Yup. If you don't want to wait, this is most likely the best way to go. Japan sells amiibos for cheaper so even with the import shipping, depending on which on you choose and how many you order, you can actually get amiibos cheaper by importing that way.
 
Ah, sorry dude, I'm aaaaall the way in cold ass Northern New Jersey, in the middle of a winter storm. Fun times! But hey, doesn't hurt to ask! Wouldn't mind bein' there, given how stupid cold it is over here now.

Noooooooo.

Can't wait to see those pics then.

Decided to change my avatar to annoy Neo Dark. Now Peach will stare in horror at all your posts.
 
Grgh. Ordered Toon Link/Bowser from Grainger Games on the 28th Jan, still processing and I notice Toon Link is out of stock now. Would have expected them to have shipped it by now, can't even cancel the order.
 
That Gold Mario is actually tempting me. Dammit Namagem, I didn't want a Mario before!
I know, I felt the same way when I saw it! I mean, I have a Mario already, but I kinda wanted the gold one, too! The prices are not bad. It's $20 each, but if you provide the figure, it's $13 less. Just need to talk to him about shipping and labor/materials costs. That means base price if you provide one is $7! That's fantastic!
 
So uhh, I don't really know how to have fun with these.

I tried Smash and Hyrule Warriors, but both games made me go "what? That's it?"

Is this just a collectors thing and not really a game thing?

For now. Mario party will unlock additional modes. I believe Nintendo has confirmed they're usable in starfox and in zelda u, but they didn't say how. We'll see.

Yeah for now it's mainly a collector's thing. As more games get released amiibos will eventually become more valuable in their utility.

Just a collectors thing, although they might be more important in the future. I just want them to unlock some nice things that aren't crucial to the game.

His paint is kinda clumpy..
 
Toys r us had me nervous. Email from this morning said my Lucario was delayed and would be cancelled if not shipped by February 17th.

Thankfully i got an email later in the afternoon that it was shipped. Whew.
 
His paint is kinda clumpy..

Do you know anyone else that does a better job and who takes commissions? He's trying to do a major project where he's going to have all the Mega Man's with their different outfit colors. He already pre-ordered all 7 or whatever.

So he pretty much needs someone that is really good at this, since he'll be paying a lot for the project. Looking at golden mario now...

Trying to see the clumpy paint....

I don't paint so I can't tell. :(
