    Yeah I noticed this, I can't find her anywhere. Other three are no problem and coincide beautifully with the 3 for 2 deal Smyths started yesterday.

    I saw Donkey and Diddy in Smyths Galway too but they seem to have been the first to sell out. Weird...?
    I didn't even get mine, don't blame me...

    Smyths Tallaght had the newer Donkey Kong, Boo, 8-Bit link and new Toon Link in their 3 for 2 earlier. And still do because I have no cash.

    Please, if you have the Wii U version, stick with that one instead. The 3ds version is so watered down, it's heartbreaking.

    You don't want to see Mario in this sick state, believe me.

    I was in NYC last week and the Nintendo Store had a double pack of Wind Waker Link and Wind Waker Zelda. Didn't see her on her own anywhere. Came home without 8-Bit link but now that I've seen the stock situation I'll pop out and get 8-Bit Link on the way home.

    That fecking ghost. He's actually the closest I've come to really questioning what I'm doing here. On the day he released, I remember standing in Smyths, looking at him, how small and static he is, and debating if this tiny golf ball of nigh-noninteractive plastic is really worth fifteen of my EMUs. FIFTEEN. For THIS TINY THING. He's not even well-sculpted, with that ugly visible belly plate.

    So far he hasn't been worth it. I only have Daisy and Waluigi from this wave. I'll get him eventually but I'm in no hurry. I have a lot more self-convincing to do.

    Finished case photos part 2.
    Colours look pretty dull but when lit up it looks pretty nice (well to me anyway).

    Used 2 IKEA tall cases. Local guy cut up the shelf rods to double the shelves.
    Used 4 sets of 4 IKEA LED strips so 16 LED strips. The painful part was hollowing out the base to hide all the electrical connections in the base so only 1 wire comes out the base.

    Have 105 in total in the case. I've a few of the Kirby Amiibo to get (not really inspired to get those but prob will to have them all) and might import the Gold Mario to complete.

    Don't forget the Gold megaman and the 6x Monster Hunter ones too :pac:

    They look great out of the box and displayed like that. Really nice job

    Speaking of these scourgey things, I think we might see more of them tonight during the Fire Emblem Direct. Corrin for starters, both male and female. Then more for the Fire Emblem Warriors game.

    I'm so angry corrin's amiibo wasn't even acknowledged. Bayonetta, Cloud and Corrin are never coming out! :(

    They're definitely coming and we all know it'll be when the Switch version of Smash releases.

    The Legend OF Zelda: Breath of the Wild Collection amiibo are now available to pre order on Amazon. They're £12.99 each except for the Guardian which is bigger I guess and that's £16.99.
