I've decided to refer to Sheik as a male based on Associated Press rules for describing transsexuals. Zelda, a woman, uses magic to transform herself into a male body and, after that, clearly wants to be identified as a man while in Sheik form. If the person wants to be identified by a certain gender, you use that gender's pronouns.

Hence, Sheik is a he.

I went that path too until Nintendo commented on it.:

"The definitive answer is that Sheik is a woman — simply Zelda in a different outfit."

He's just saying what we're all thinking, and he's not wrong. There's a problem, and it's NoA's problem. Europe and Japan can launched the amiibo line just fine...sure, there are rarer/harder-to-find amiibo over there, but it's not nearly as impossible to find them as it is in North America.
 
EDIT: Don't want to be banned by derailing the thread. But I'm sure someone will have quoted it. Basically, don't worry about Azula and me. You won't have to deal with us again. Carry on.

Ignoring the fact that Nintendo defines Sheik as a female, let's not assume Zelda is wanting to be identified as a man for personal sexual identification reasons, she simply doesn't want anyone (Ganondorf in particular) to know that she (Zelda) is running around Hyrule.

She doesn't want to identify as a man, she wants to be incognito.

Speaking of the new 3ds, has the regions out of Japan gotten the amiibo update for Smash and the system yet? Or did the system already come with the update and all that's missing is the Smash update for these regions?

There isn't an Amiibo update fer Snash yet on the New 3DS.

This will be the last post I make in this thread.

I just wanted to say some things. I've been told by Neo Dark that some people were saying negative things about my fiance. That's fine, I don't expect people to like everyone. And I understand that his ups and downs aren't always easy to deal with me. But I just think anyone being mean to him are terrible people. You don't even have a clue what Azula has gone through. The pain and suffering he's been through. You try battling cancer for a year and a half. You try having your own mother tell you that you fuckin deserve to die just because he's no longer religious. You try battling cancer and dropping down to 90 pounds, while every day it's hard to just get out of bed each morning. To know your own parents want you dead. You try having to deal with all of that, and then find out your cousin who you love, has committed suicide during your treatments.

He's had an extremely rough two years. And now he's battling PTSD/Depression and just trying to get through each day. Emotional trauma like that isn't something you can just physically quantify and get over. I know that dealing with someone with ups and downs is not easy. I live with him.

But you know what, he's the most loving/'caring person I have ever met. All he ever does is think about others. You don't see the kind of pain and suffering he deals with all the time. The kind of torment his own mother puts on him. He's given away a free PS4/Vita + and has spent easily over $2,000 on this Amiibo community alone. He's never asked for jack in return.

One of the reasons he even had to take a break weeks back, is because he was so stressed and angry with himself for not being able to get other people on here Amiibos they were missing. He beats himself up, not because he's mad he couldn't get us an Amiibo. He just wants to make everyone happy. So I just find it rich that some would still give him shit, and still think ill of him given everything he's been through.

I understand that him having ups and downs and leaving is not easy. It isn't . That is why he decided to have his account closed and walk away. Because despite him loving this community immensely. Despite him needing friends. He couldn't deal with knowing that his emotional struggles were impacting anyone in a negative way. He didn't want to put that on other people again.

So I get if some of you don't like him. But it absolutely breaks my heart to know that he's put so much of himself out there for others, and that some are so nasty they aren't willing to cut him slack. Well don't worry, he won't be ever coming back to GAF, or this thread again. I won't be coming back either. You won't have to hear from him ever again.

Agreed. I'm so confused by all this. I thought everyone loved Azula.

Absolutely agree - I expect preorders to last hours, if even that much... I'm really nervous.

Yeah man, having to f5 constantly at home, at work, at school is getting reallllllly tiring.

I dont get how

a) pre-orders arent available yet, the nintendo direct was like a month ago...

b) that wave 3 is just as big of a cluster fuck as the pre-order situation

Its reallllllly disheartening at times. Also the fact that Nintendo refuses to comment or offer any type of solution to customers and more importantly, the retailers, is absolutely disgusting.

They seem like they dont give a shit who buys them or what kind of pressure they put on the stores. They just want their 14.99 and to be done with it.

Seriously, can we get a fucking memo or a post on their website regarding this situation? Its quite a fucking mess. Their PR team might be the worst ever.
 
I don't understand how Bestbuy's website is so jacked up when it comes to amiibo's. Also when the hell can i pre-order Wave 4 and SM amiibos.

There are reports of Shiek arriving in both BestBuy and ToysRUs across the states and literally just a few minutes ago she was in stock i n the Target website but went out of stock almost instantly , i wouldn't scratch her off that list just yet.

Long story short:
Joke about Azula being Lucina
I asked people to drop it (didn't even know it was his fiance at the time... found out with the rest of you)
People still got persistent about it and kept poking about it
She came out about it and decided amiiboGAF wasn't for her
I told her that she and Azula was welcome and that they should just ignore the haters
She posts above message

I can't believe how much of a train wreck this has gotten into just because of a joke someone started.

Anyways... to keep things back on topic. Should we have a vote or something to decide what amiibos should be crossed off the chart? I've been asking this for a while now. Or should we just leave it be?

Azula seemed like a really nice guy based on my limited interactions with him, and indeed it sounds like he is. I'm sorry to see you both leave and I wish you all the best. Really sorry some people here have been so awful to you that you feel the need to leave, but I totally understand that decision.

Good luck to you both!
 
I'd say Sheik is going to stay plenty rare with how fast she sells out of any very small restock. Also the Amazon orders everyone need to approve. Amazon does kinda seem like the worst place to order Amiibo at the moment.

Amazon seems to shit the bed on Nintendo stuff. Still stickin' it to them, years later.

Also, your avatar makes me laugh every time.

I was trying to ignore this, but its going to catch steam.. so here it goes.

Most of us all love Azula, and he is a strong member of the community.

But it sounds like you guys NEED to take a break from this. Too many times do I see posts that echo the same statements that you have made here in this post.

There are far more important things in life that trying to buy amiibos for a bunch of strangers on the internet. I understand that he has a big heart and is extremly giving, but in his current situation, he should focus on himself and his mental health.

Constantly worrying about amiibos and this community is not a priority. Getting help with the mental side of things/his personal health absolutely is a priority.

Take the break and forget about this stuff for awhile. Dont add more stress to your lives by constantly posting here and putting yourself in these situations.

Honestly if I was in NA right now I think I'd just give up and start an EU or JP collection. It must be so frustrating for you all.

Thanks for giving us an example of what Olivia is talking about, we needed that. =.

If you're still reading this, you or Azula/Brent, please tell him that I loved reading every one of his posts and that he was DEFINITELY appreciated. Even when he was just posting; he never had to give anyone anything. He's done so much already, there's no reason to worry further.

You're both great people from everything I read from the two of you. Hope the trip is great, and he can one day move on with his new life -- one without the bad past to haunt him anymore, because your shared past will overcome it.



Trying to decide on if I should open Bowser or not. Trying to get the craft knife opening thing down. There's just... No reason to do so, other than for practice. :L

In the US, the order in which to pretty much guarantee you get your amiibos in a timely manner seems to be TRU.com > Target.com > Toys R Us > Target > Gamestop > Best Buy.com > Gamestop.com > Best Buy > Amazon

What happened with nintendo an amazon?
Click to expand...

I don't think it was ever actually known, but the theory is that when the 3DS launched, Amazon got a lot of units with issues. Hinges, screen scratching, etc. Many customers returned their units and Nintendo played hard ball giving Amazon their money back. Ever since, Amazon has refused to stock Nintendo consoles.

My post was slightly tongue in cheek, however.
