Thanks to a very kind friend, I was able to secure this little guy today!

At MSRP no less!

Now my collection is nearing completion; only lacking the triple d!
 
How's everyone doing tonight? Did everyone have a good valentines day?
My wife and I saw the Kingsman movie and had a nice dinner!

Doing great, thanks for asking! Didn't get to do much with my fiancé, but we spent half the day together just relaxin' 'n such, before she had to work. Our plans got ruined because of that and the stupid snow, but we still had a good day together. Spent the rest of the day playing Smash Wii U and messing with my New 3DS XL.

Pretty good V-Day, I'd say!

Nice! Not the didn't do much with fiance thing lol. No snow here but wind shield brought the temperature to about -20 here brrr! I literally just saw a wind warning that said, "don't go outside, you could get frost bite or die" jeez!

I was alone, and I still can't find a New 3ds XL anywhere locally.
But I am going on a first date with a very promising young lady tomorrow!
 
Good luck!

I make my own luck

Thanks! It shouldn't be bad at all. We have very similar views on a lot of topics, and I've somehow developed some self-confidence in the past three years. Where I used to fear first dates, I now always look forward to them!
 
So, i went out with a cute girl tonight and she is super awesome and i was "Really feeling it"

Then i got back and saw i missed Ike again.

Goddammit...

Worth it

Doesn't help that I have psoriasis on my hands to the point where, if I don't wear gloves out, they're gonna get cracked, bleed, and hurt like hell. I could only imagine how crappy it'd be for me where you are with that kind of wind...yikes.

Agree'd, good luck, man. Hope all goes well.

I was alone in my room.
Sorry to hear that, but regardless of being alone or not, it's still a good
Hallmark holi
day to spend with friends or family, or just have a good one doing your own thing, like I did for the evening on.

Indeed, man. Indeed.
 
So hey, I had a craaaazy day today, it was really fun! Sold a few monster hunter 4U and Majoras at retail price (Thank you based Best Buy GCU), got my Limited Edition Majoras Mask figure for the GF (It looks fucking amazing! It looks better than some of the 50 standalone figures I have sold, its just TOO good for a $10 extra, since it comes with the physical game). Saw some Sailor Moon Crystal, Pokemon, and JoJo with my GF, made some cheesecake, opened Lucario, Shulk, Sonic, Mario and Sheik and waiting for DDD, ike and Megaman to arrive.

So what did I miss, amiiboGAF?

Yeah man, and it was crazy because it was like 5 degrees the day I tried to get the MM 3DS at Target. The first guy in line had a pillow and comforter, said he was there since 4:30am!! Guess I'm not as dedicated as I thought lol
 
Late to the party, but I wouldn't be surprised if a Rayman amiibo ended up being Rayman's disparate bodie parts embedded in solid pillar of yellow acrylic.

(And exclusive to Funcoland.)
 
So what are the most desirable Amiibos in terms of actual gameplay benefits?

The mario party ones are first, IMO, as an entire game mode is locked behind them.

Then comes Link (for Hyrule Warriors spinner) and Fire Emblem characters (for STEAM) for having considerable gameplay locked behind them.

Then there's the rest usable in Smash, Hyrule warriors, and Kirby that have a small gameplay impact, but are mostly cosmetic.

Opinions?

If you're going to buy Codename Steam, most bang for your buck would be the Fire Emblem characters (which will probably work with the new FE game coming out too)

Then the Mario Party characters who are also in Mario Kart 8 for their Mii outfits.

Hey, sounds like you had an awesome day, congrats! Good to know that Skull Kid looks as nice as you say! Quick side note: Majora systems, or LE bundles? Have any left, by chance?

Anyways, seems like today we had Ike in and out of stock online with the quickness, and the highly plausible leak that Rayman is probably coming to Smash as DLC, followed by talks of how the hell the amiibo would work.

That about covers it!

Edit: here's the supposed proof video of Rayman on the character select screen. Seems very likely this is real, but who knows for sure. Check it out before it's taken down!

Would you happen to have any MH or MM 3DS editions left? :(
 
Amiiboob still cracks me up. xD
which is why you should have gone for it. So much disappointment!

Video was already taken down once. By the original uploader too nonetheless. This is just a re-upload.

Thanks for the update! And sorry for confusing you guys, I just sold the regular games, not the consoles. I was not able to get a single console xD.

I saw Ike popping up but I already have him on the wayfrom TRu, and shipping was almost 7 bucks, not paying that. Hopefully someone who really needed him took it!

And yeah, the Skull Kid looks brilliant, I don't have photos right now, but tomorrow I'll be sure to share. Pretty stuff.

Okay, no problem. We just misunderstood, it seems.

Shoulda jumped on that Ike, but I did get Sonic from Target.com yesterday, with an extra possibly for trade, if anyone is preemptively interested. Was originally for a friend, but he got it already, so it'll probably be tradeable here.

Definitely share those Skull Kid pics. The thing'll look amazing, for sure!
 
Got my Skull Kid LE MM game today, so I can't be too mad... especially since a fellow poster hooked me up with the LE 3DS system, too, and it should be arriving before my work trip next week. So, right now I'm a happy guy.

Had a great day with the girlfriend - got to eat good food and have lots of fun. Weather was decent, and we got to meet up with each of our families, too.

... but man, the Amiibo game is pissing me off.

I know people say to just call - but no matter how polite I am, 90% of those answering still either don't know what I'm talking about, or I don't trust their answer. I probably should, since I'm not having success, anyway.

Man, I just don't know how the hell I'm gonna get my hands on Sanic, Mega Man, Dededededede or Ike. I've secured Rosalina and Shulk, which is great. But I just can't see myself getting lucky with these four.

For those in the Overland Park, KS area, I've checked:

119th Target
154th (?) Target
Ward Parkway Target
Metcalf Target

Oak Park Mall Gamestop
GameStop outside Nordstrom
GameStop outside AMC 20
GameStop on Town Center

Toys R Us - Independence (Still have Shiek)
TRU - Overland Park
TRU - Great Plains Mall "Flagship" (they have 2 Toon Link)

All three Best Buys in Overland Park
Best Buy Lee's Summit (have Captain Falcon)
Best Buy Independence

... so yeah, maybe someone is looking for one of those three. Good luck!

Man...I'd give you all 4 of them for a MM system. Not even joking. But that's not a fair trade, obviously. Just so pissed for a friend who ordered the system and got it cancelled the same day. I even ordered it for him, just in case, but that got cancelled too.

If anyone has a spare MM3DS, I'd love to work something out. My friend would flip if I could actually secure one this time, even though we were so sure Target would deliver.

They oversold it and cancelled orders...what a load of crap.

Oh, and glad you had a nice day today. At least your weather wasn't, oh, SNOW AND WIND. So tired of it here in North NJ.

When is best buy supposed to sell megaman and metaknight? I looked in the back today we had ONE megaman and like 10 metaknights!
2/20, apparently.

I feel you, man. I really, do.

Ordered the MM system within 5 minutes of it going live on Best Buy's site. Eventually got cancelled.

Waited in line in 12 degree weather for over an hour for one of their ten systems. They told EVERYONE in line they were getting 10 for the last several days. I was 7th in line. Everyone in the first 10 spots felt good. We get in... they say they have five. She wouldn't even check the back or her computer. Girl was super rude - wouldn't help at all. Left empty handed.

Get to work, see it's on Target.com. Put in an order instantly. That order got cancelled.

I mean, holy shit, right?!

Regardless, I've been working with a fellow GAFer on a deal we're both really happy with. I tossed him a few extra bucks and the BB gift card I got for it being cancelled, and he just sent the system out yesterday. Sure, it cost a bit more and I have to wait, but I'm still super thankful. He was very helpful, and I'm glad I'm not completely missing out.

That said, I'm still keeping an eye out. If I secured another, it's for a friend. But if he moves on before then, it'll be coming straight to GAF at cost.

Very similar situation for my friend, actually. Strikingly so. He got emailed a $15 Target gift card (so did I), and when he called customer service to dispute it (I did too), he got a second $15 GC (same). Such BS, man. It shouldn't be this damn hard to get it.

If you had one to spare, I'd love to work out a good deal where it's beneficial for both parties, with amiibos, gift cards, whatever it takes.

For what it's worth, good to know you got yours, and hopefully your friend will too. If you do actually have a spare, please keep me in mind, would you? I'd very much appreciate it.

Im gonna try buying them tomorrow. Its funny cause they never showed up in RSS
 
How's everyone doing tonight? Did everyone have a good valentines day?
My wife and I saw the Kingsman movie and had a nice dinner!

I worked most of the day so my wife and I are celebrating tomorrow. Got a babysitter and we are going out to eat. As a relatively new parent I find it funny how going out to eat and stopping by the grocery store seems like a vacation when someone else is watching your child.

So I've heard. I can only imagine what that'll be like when I start having kids!
 
So although Mewtwo and Rayman will be in the game... I honestly dont expect them to make Amiibos for the DLC characters.

...and leave all that money on the table?

You are getting amiibos of Mewtwo, Rayman
and Lucas
and you are going to like them!
 
I'm still trying to figure out how early to get up for Meta Knight on friday, and if it will be even worth it. Early word is there should be at least a couple extra at most stores right?

Be there two hours early and stay in the line first. Hopefully that you would have good manager that would take care of first few people who came in like Ticket, etc.

At my Best Buy, there was no line, the employees didn't tell anyone where the new Amiibos were, and the place was chaotic. It really doesn't matter who is " first" in line.
 
Best Buy really doesn't give a fuck about the line, but if you are first and the employees recognize you they will let you make a purchase/ask first. Other than that, its a mad dash for the amiibo section.

That's the thing. The new ones weren't in the Amiibo section. First they told us they were up front, then they said they were in the Amiibo section, then a couple employees said they were over by the headphones. I don't know if they were just fucking with us, but it was absolute chaos and I got fed up with it and just left.

I suppose, just to brag a little, me and my Girlfriend finally obtained Donkey Kong and Link (Villager is the only one left to complete the collection).

So we celebrated Valentine's day of just..... "us" that can best be summarized with:
