Physical DLC Thread [Toys-To-Life. amiibo, etc.]

[Kosheh]

So, today was...cool.  I have an amiibo story. :0)

so, I woke up at 5:45am, rolled out of bed and made my way to the local Target and I was the second person at the store (arrived around maybe 60). The first guy had been waiting in his car since 5am, and immediately booked it to the front of the store upon seeing me.
The first guy on line was pretty cool and we just talked the whole time.
A Target employee eventually came by, opened the door and asked "Are you two the amiibo people?" and since, yes, we were here for amiibo, we replied "yeah".
She told us "OK - let me get the product together in the back, and you guys can get started", leading us over to the electronics section talking along the way, which apparently must have been really corporate-sounding. She led us over to the amiibo section, and told us "I'll go to the back and get the Rosalie figures", and just left us there. We just stood there for about 10 minutes and continued talking, commenting on the sheer number of Zelda amiibo still on the shelf.

A manager came by, inquiring why we were standing around when we should be working. My new amiibro told her "Nope, we're just here for Rosalina".
She had no idea what he was talking about.
I simplified his confusing statement and told her, "We're just really enthusiastic Nintendo fans, waiting for the new figurine that's exclusive to your store. It's like a Skylander."
   
Apparently, our local Target thought we were the regional Nintendo reps coming to work on the amiibo display. But they were pretty shocked to find out we weren't, and immediately panicked and started radioing one another.

"Oh - okay! Well, I'm sorry you two, but I'm going to have to ask you both to leave, immediately." She led us back to the front, opened the door for us, and locked it. The other guy I was waiting with just looked at me and I looked back, and we just busted out laughing. What the fuck just happened.

The rest of it's pretty boring - after we were kicked out, another person came out of their car and waited with us, followed by two other cars. Every 15 minutes, another three cars pulled up. Every staple of line-sitters were there -

• the creepy misogynist
  
• the guy and his girlfriend (x2)
  
• guy in sweatpants
  
• Jimmy Scalper
  
• douchebag who pulls up in sports car
  
• dad with children
  
• college kids
  
• the super-duper Nintendo nerd who can name every Pokemon in Pokedex order but can't tie their own shoes
  
• grown man whose mom dropped him off
  

everybody was there.

After the doors opened, everyone was pretty cool, but the goddamn dad can't put a leash on his children and soon enough, the entire first half of the line begins to jog. But then the college students run by me, and I'm like "seriously?!" to which then I get my trackstar on, and end up being the second guy on line. Again. In the electronics section.

I don't think I wanna do it again, but now I have a Rosalina and Toon Link amiibo. The staff kept referring to her as "Rosalie" which is probably just as good as "Pokeman".

tl;dr i bought a rosalina today to spite a guy who bought 100 rosalinas that is probably in a story on your facebook feed. it was alright.
are you guys still collecting these dumbass figurines?
