Man, fuck Amiibos. I couldn't even get Captain Falcon, and Ness is a fucking EB Games exclusive. I was lucky enough to order a gold Mario, but I wouldn't be surprised if it got cancelled >:/

I got a Falco in a store nearby but I had to pay more than the average amiibo (local stores here have scalper prices by default).
I missed Ness on AmiAmi so far and I'm not a huge fan of the series to stay awake during the night for him, if I manage to get one I'll do it.
The only time I managed to get a Ness in the cart it sold out before I could finish the purchase.

True but I can imagine if he filed a claim in Paypal after getting the figure he might get his money back pretty easily. Claiming he never got the figure etc etc.

paypal does seem to benefit the buyer, but if you have the tracking number to show them then you should be good

I mean, I don't even want to use the Amiibos, all I want is an official Nintendo figure(ine). I'm fairly new to the Earthbound bandwagon, but once I beat it I was blown away. Easily one of my favourite games of all time.
If Wonder Red ends up getting into Smash I will gladly pay scalper prices for it.
Get signature confirmation, not just delivery. It'll make it all the easier to dispute.

Ah ok that puts me to ease a bit more. Never felt paranoid selling to GAFers lol..but for some reason I am a bit more on MFC.

Yeah, not a fan of him so far, my FE amiibos look better.
I still need to finish Earthbound, the first time I tried I quit, IIRC. The one I'm waiting the most is ZSS.

I hear ou, there are times where the enemies are frustratingly strong. The best thing to do is just grind, and grind, and grind. Eventually you'll get strong enough to just beat enemies without going through the battle sequence.

I plan on giving it a second chance soon, I'll post the results here.

I have been lurking Amiami around update hours just for Palutena, ZSS and Ganondorf since they were announced, since I know they'll be a pain to get in retail, hopefully I'll be able to place an order for those 3
Maintenance
Member
Same here, I want Palutena, ZSS, Greninja and maybe Jigglypuff.
After so many nights waking up or staying up until the update hours, my internal clock now wakes me up the same time every day they update.

Preorders open next week http://mikatan.goodsmile.info/en/2015/04/06/ryuko-matoi-senketsu-kisaragi-ver/
That's not Ragyo...
*shakes fist at cloud*
Also I lost my pre-order for Satsuki in Senketsu when I walked from NY so unless I can get her, Super Sayian Ryuuko's a pass.
Nope...
It's 1/4.5 scale, which is a silly scale to begin with... With all that plastic it should be better sculpted, better painted, and not have such horrible seams, it should also contain a ton more detail in it, cause this 1/8th scale figure blows it away:

I wonder if I should get that Makoto prize figure.
Still waiting for a Sosuke figure ;_;
I can't wait to see that 1/8 painted.
MF can have all my monies (they already do) if they do the rest of the DC cast.

That support setup looks a bit weird lol, but overall she looks great.

It's better than the prototypes that looked like she had a stick up her bum.

I'm not going to complain since I'm not buying the figure, but the rod seemed more robust to me, this new one looks flimsy and I fear for the weight distribution.
dakkumauji
Member
But then, she would be considered an amiibo and her value will skyrocket overnight.
Yeah, she kinda looks like she'll easily lean. Surprised they didn't give her a stand for both of her feet.
Theonik
Member
Depends on how strongly attached she is to it. PVC is pretty sturdy and not heavy enough for her to really damage herself so to speak.
Might bend over time though.
But that's not actually good for the manufacturer. In fact makers lose a TON of money because of scalpers. That premium could go to the people actually doing work either as more profit, or in the form of more products.
Maintenance

I'll trust FigureGAF to give us reviews when she arrives, to clear the doubt.
Theonik
Member
The stand looks fairly heavy. As long as her centre of gravity is low and within where her base sits she's not going anywhere.
Preorder placed :>
Hmmm, where did you order from? I saw on Rightstuf they'll be $300 shipped.
Otaku Mode. I posted about these figures and various preordering options a few pages back. http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=158553832&postcount=16680
Oh nice, thanks for writing this up! Otaku Mode seems like clearly the best, will have to save up and hope they don't sell out.

Damn, I'm always shocked when I see prices in dollars. If I had to buy that way I think I would spend less.

Just sent a cancellation request for Sorey, Luke, Toshino Kyouko Nendo, and a PnD prize figure. My April just shot down to about 9k total. 
I've been reassessing my collection and decided to only focus on scales of characters that I really love. If I buy many more scales, that is. I've always been more partial to figmas and Nendos.
Partially cause I need to save for travel this summer and partially because I have no room for characters that I don't completely adore, haha.

I posted the same on their entry pages on MFC for these two, go upvote my comment so it stays on top so people can see it lol
Done!

Excellent news. For Sasuke fans.

More like mega disappointment, the only thing I would buy is the Megafauna, but eh.
Interested in Sabo, Koala, and Rei. All depends on price though.

Sasuke sucks though
Suigetsu and Jugo like that. Karin feels neglected though.
Kinda on topic, can't believe Kishimoto finished it, I thought it would go on forever.
