    Word's been coming in all day about the appearance of reprinted Villagers and Little Macs in Japan, my brother who lives over there can confirm it. He sent me a photo this morning of his local shop filled with both of them. I don't have a high-enough post count here to link it, but all of the villagers have the same alterations to their eyes, so that's not just an isolated change. The new villager's eyes are smaller and lower down.

    Yeah I saw the Villagers, I think the look worse tbh, the original looks closed to the smash artwork CEA9TtPUkAEwkke.jpg:large

    Left is the original, right is the new

    The new Villager looks in more proportion and more like the original Animal Crossing look. The new Marth reprint is a big improvement though, much better face.

    I was wondering that too because my one looks fine. I think it's the eyes on the one in that picture, they are printed too low down on the face or something. I guess there was a lot of variation!

    Dark Pit you mean?

    A Dark Link would be awesome, either Ocarina version or A Link between Worlds with the black smoke effect.

    I'm really sorry I opened my Villager now, cuz the new one looks way better and I sure as hell ain't opening two >.<

    If anybody needs a Wario, there is one behind the counter with the other free sale amiibo in Stephens Green Gamestop

    Decided I'm going to try to collect just the Zelda/Metroid ones, as they're my two favourite game series.

    To that end, anyone interested in taking a Sonic (still boxed up) in return for a Sheik / Zelda?

    I know our last deal didn't work out for this but I do have a Shiek and would swap for Sonic. Shiek is sealed I can meet in Dublin city centre on Tuesday anytime after 3pm if that would suit.

    I'll not be finished work till after 4:30, but could hop on the luas and head in to meet you then if you want, assuming that'd not leave it too late for you?

    They're super-reliable in my experience, ordered the last two waves from them in-store and they got them all in. :)

    Dark pit seems to be the next common as he is pretty much always in stock on gamestop. Weird considering Pit was a rare and also Dark pit isn't really a popular character.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1 SWWL

    Seems to be cheaper from Japan, where there's no shortage of Pacman at least.
    Check Ebay

    I want Puckman myself

    Oxendales.ie have Robin and Lucina in stock, as well as Wario and Charizard at weirdo prices. I'd never heard of them, but they seem to be a little like Littlewoods? You need an account to buy from them, and they ask for some kooky information to create one, but there ye go.
