    Am I the only one here planning on getting all three Yoshis? And both Mario Maker amiibos?

    Haha, no

    And yeah, I'm kind of guessing the Yarn Yoshis might not be super rare. It seems like the kind of thing that is easier to manufacture than molded plastic (especially with all the fine details and stickers that have to be done by hand - for these you stick some googly eyes on them and you're done).

    They're incredibly rare in Europe (thankfully I was able to preorder my special edition of the game) - though that might just because of Americans buying all of them since they won't be released there for a while.

    Well, somebody destroyed a ton of Europe bound yarn Yoshis.

    I'm being serious.

    You hope

    The alternative is there's some vigilante out there, aiming to put a stop to this whole miiber business, by any means necessary. If we're lucky, Marvel will have a movie about him out by 2018.

    Oh brilliant

    Many, many thanks to @TimFiji for Jigglypuff which arrived today! :D Considering Target.com is full of shit and never fulfilled my pre-order (currently "delayed until July" now... lol).

    And with that, I have all of them. Until a shitload more come out. *sigh*

    See, it's a good thing it's like this because I'm saving money just not buying the amiibo.

    I got Palutena and Zero Suit Samus today. That must be a bad photo or defective amiibo because mine looks fine. None of the hands of the female amiibos have been very good. Sausage fingers.

    I'll post photos later.

    Picsies!

    I like ZSS quite a bit. There's a little gap in her leg where the two shades of blue meet.
    sam1.jpg

    What I dislike the most is the big support that covers the entire back of her leg.
    sam2.jpg

    Palutena is very detailed. She doesn't look quite as good in photos because her nose is very fine and it doesn't show up. I think her face is very nice. Her hands are her weak point but they're not terrible.

    The figure for Palutena looks like they tried to fit too many details but left the face kinda... plain? Like the accessories and hair look awesome but her face and hands...ugh

    Her face is really tiny.... I don't think they could possibly fit all the much detail into it. Put her up next to Peach and her face is half the size.

    I think I still don't want Palutena, but now I want ZS Samus.

    Palutena is going to be rare anyway.

    So someone would buy Charizard and then sell their Wii U less than a month later?

    I shouldn't keep being surprised by people making such obviously terrible life decisions. But hey, at least you got cheap Charizard.

    On Friday I went to a local game store. They sell new and used retro games, game-related toys etc. It's a cool store but stuff is pretty expensive. They had Charizard, Wario, Pac-Man, Silver Mario, Splatoon amiibos, as well as amiibos from earlier waves (nothing super rare). I thought I'd pick up a Charizard or Wario to open but they were selling wave 4 amiibos for $19.99. Earlier wave stuff was $15. I posted about it on a Facebook group I'm part of and they defended the store saying that small stores need to charge more than big chains to cover costs and so on. It seems shady to me.

    Blame the current market for that. They won't sell for MSRP when current inflation is so broken. I don't blame them.

    This whole thing is just fucked from the ground up.
