    So! I ended up with an extra Lucina and I'd be happy to send one out to a desperately longing Lucina fan out there. She's unboxed and has a teensy tiny dab of flesh-tone paint in her bangs, which could easily be fixed with a little dab of blue if you're so inclined. Otherwise, she looks great, has a straight sword and a nice face.

    I'd prefer to send to a fellow Canadian, because I am lazy and we don't have to do shipping math that way. I'll just ask for MSRP + $0 shipping because the shipping shouldn't be over $15. So mention if you're a Canuck!

    Lucina has been claimed at a far slower rate than she sells out on Amazon... I think it took like three whole minutes! Congrats, @Lail. :)

    I sent an amiibo from Newfoundland to Nova Scotia and it cost $15 and it took five business days.

    Maybe it's just cause I'm on an island but I was surprised by the cost of shipping.

  • SwashbucklerXXSwashbucklerXX Swashbucklin' Canuck Registered User regular
    Yeah, you got dinged by an extra island cost and/or the size of the box if it was boxed. I can use a pretty small bubble envelope for an unboxed amiibo, and it shouldn't cost more than $12 at the most.

    Any Canadians in need of Toad or Diddy Kong? My wife and son bought me a few amiibos for Father's day and I already have those two (but didn't want to tell them that - and not just because if my wife saw my full collection she'd probably freak). They're free and I'll mail them to you as well.

    edit: Diddy has been claimed. Poor toad is still looking for a new home though.

    Randomly found a Toys R Us with a huge cache of Samus amiibos. I don't know if they got a new shipment or what, but they had at least 20 on the shelves and I haven't seen any Samus in a couple months.

    Toys r us is the only store around me that has most of the old ones. Haven't t seen a samus in a while though, I was actually surprised they had some links the last time I went

  • wunderbarwunderbar What Have I Done? Registered User regular
    I might have to go samus hunting then. I goofed and didn't buy her, thinking she'd be one that's kind of available forever. Not being able to find her is the reason why if I see one I don't own at MSRP I just buy it now =/

    I submitted my first Miiverse stage post for Ryu. I figured this was the most appropriate.

    Hah, references.

    Edit: I apologize, this was meant for the Smash Bros. thread, though in my pre-coffee daze this morning I posted it in the wrong one, whoops.

    So my Zero Suit Samus arrived today. Very nice figure the hair is the only bad part as it looks out of place compared to the detailing on the rest.

    So, I picked up a Robin for what is scientifically verified to be "More than I reasonably should have" today, and you know what?

    It looks really nice! Crisp paint, no obvious smudges, and lots of detail. There's even painted detail on the interior of his spellbook.

    Wish there were more of them out there, but I'm glad I have one.

    ugh why not next month. I've already spent too much money this month :/

    maybe i can delay a few hours and they'll be sold out and i'll feel better about myself. 8 dollar markup and 20 dollars shipping is killer on 3-4 of them :/

    That'll probably be it for a while. I might get 8-bit Mario, but other than that I don't plan on buying any more this year. Maybe I'll get Ike a bit closer to FE Fates' release.

    I think the only ones we're going for if we see them would be the Girl Inkling and if they were to reissue them I'd buy Wii Fit Trainer and I know the kid would pick up Lucario. I just wish they could get their act together.

    Seems like the amiibo hate is rising. Not the "can't buy them" hate but the "you're a dumb consumer whore even though I'm posting from the newest smartphone" hate.

    I'm seeing top comments on amiibo posts being "fuck amiibo" and stuff too.

    Yeah, I might be done. Got my Robin, Lucina, Shulk, and Splatoon squids, plus the unexpected Charizard, Megaman, and Toon Link. The only others I sort of want I'll never find for normal retail price (Villager, WFT, Rosalina, and more than likely ZSS and Yarn Yoshi), so it's healthier to have it be a nice surprise should I stumble across some of them.

    The Hori-brand question mark block case is on sale for $14.99 at Best Buy (normally $29.99) and there's a $5 off promo if you buy it alongside an Amiibo, meaning you can get it for $9.99 if you play your cards right.

    3203011le.jpg

    I've been wanting this case ever since I first saw it about six weeks ago, and I was hoping it would go on sale.

    The $5 extra off is nice, and I was in fact waiting for more waves to release so I could pick up the case alongside a figure to get the $5 off, but I have just about every easily-available Amiibo...phooey.

    Dang-o-darn, I really wish I needed Diddy Kong or a Smash Series Luigi. They both seem to be price reduced to $9.99, and would be $7.99 after the GCU discount. Then the question mark block, normally $29.99, is on sale for $14.99, and then it would be reduced to $9.99 for being purchased alongside an amiibo.

    So pre-tax that's $17.98...and on top of that I have a $5 reward certificate to use, bringing the final price to $12.98 before tax, meaning it's essentially "Buy an Amiibo, get a Question Mark Block case free" ...but I already have both of those figures, bah. I guess I could toss either one up on eBay and sell it for near MSRP making the case nearly free, hmm.

    The final kicker is that I have a Silver Mario that is outside of the return period by like 3 days...I could have easily returned that one and re-purchased it alongside the case to do the above transaction. Bah.

    Okay, that's enough rambling for one night.

    Is this online only? I might check out my local Best Buy during Lunch to see if I can snag me one of these neat blocks.

    Except for unknown future releases, I think I'm down to just Falco and Bowser Jr. on my want list.

    Won't turn down a Yarn Yoshi if I stumble upon one and Miyamoto knows I'd buy a Metroid one if they made it.
