    There is a kind soul on Adverts willing to sell you the three "rare" Amiibos for €75 though. €30 each of course.

    This Amiibo malarkey is all a bit orchestrated, isn't it?

    2 Marth's and 2 WFT's in Argos Ilac right now if anyone wants to grab them.
    I just picked up villager, WFT and Marth there.

    That's it, no more! Till January.

    Fierce Deity Link was from Majoras Mask which was young Link rather than the Link available as an Amiibo, why not just buy 3 of them paint two of them blue and red and keep them as a set.

    There's a Wii Fit Trainer and Villager in Gamestop on Henry Street if anyone's stuck. Villager has a sticker on the box saying hold until New Year, but it's out on the rack.

    Cheaper than a scalper I guess.

    All mine are still in the boxes until I find out what else they do besides smash, mk8 and hyrule.

    Man they take up a lot of space!


    So the guy on adverts trying to sell Marth WFT and Villager for 35 each has reduced the price to 25 each and removed my comment and 'Metroids' comment AND blocked us from commenting. God I hope no one buys them from him, they are in stock in gamestop and Argos will get more just like yesterday.

    Ugh.

    I take mine out when I use them then they go back in the boxes until I can find somewhere good for them. They were all out in my pics for pic purposes. Other then that they all take up a lot of space in the boxes

    I'm buying the rarer ones now so if I do decide to collect, I can easily pick up the more common ones later.. If I choose not to sell, they'll definitely hold their value.

    Sheik and Toon Link for me (for whatever Hyrule Warriors bonuses they offer), but the Ike looks pretty damn nice.

    I didn't. I was just kidding, not even that funny tbh :o.
    I was semi agreeing with your comment about buying the more elusive ones, so as to not struggle at a later date if I decide to collect..

    No, right now I do not own a single Amiibo. The ones due to arrive in the first week in January I've promised to a friend, for either cost price, or in exchange for a game of similar value.
    If there had been a bit of a bigger gap between waves, and some weren't so noticeably hard to get, I would've kept going.

    I just see a load of "entrepeneurs" :mad: (Aššhats is another name for them), buying up a load of them to sell at a higher price. I'll never buy from one of those..

    All that aside,
    Merry Christmas Everyone!:D

    Now, back to Steamworld dig.. :)

    I just got Kirby, but I've seen Marth around.
    I must pick up the Villager at some point.

    Yeah I already snapped off Princess Peaches legs, carefully resealed the box, and the current bid on eBay is over 3 grand. :) Kinda feel bad but the people bidding against each other are probably ridiculously wealthy anyway and don't know what to do with their money, so I see myself as a Robin Hood type-figure, in a Nintendo accessory-obsessed sphere. Or maybe I'm just as delusional. Ah whatevs, it pays the bills.

    :pac:
