ye i got literally all of the amiibos set to come out today. pix on Thursday or so when I actually like, get 'em all here and they're accounted for
oh yeah and i'm pretty much all accounted for with amiibo preorders until september. ye feels great to finally get my life back
My local Gamestop managed to push absolutely zero amiibo besides like Ness...which they only got one of. There were plenty plenty of Splatoon three-packs. If you like, really really want 'em they should be not TOO hard to find. Maybe a little bit of a challenge but like not a total chore
Oh oh I have a humblebrag tale let me share it I wanna share it.
SO I got to Target today around 11:30pm waiting for amiibo with my batshit insane pals (we went today because of reddit saying "YOU GOTTA LEAVE SUPER EARLY IF YOU WANT 'EM") and got kicked off the premises by mall security. It was neat, and everyone who showed up ended up in the same parking lot across the street as we did...so it was basically us nerds sitting across the street in our lawn chairs shooting the shit, etc. (we had lawn chairs. we were ready) One of my friends from amiibo hunting in the past showed up around 1:30, soooo that was cool. He was 4th, and...well, Target was to get 4 Robin and Lucina amiibos (seems like the hardest to find besides Ness) 5 hours later, when we're allowed back on premises, the security guard who kicked us off-premises actually vouches for our places on line, which is just fucking awesome.
Thank you mall cop.
Fast-forward 6 hours, and we're finally on line, and there's a crowd of people behind us. Around 8am, you'll have the real casual amiibo people and then the people only interested in reselling show up around that time, too...and there's this one particular Dickweed. He's bald and on his cellphone from like 1998 telling his friend how he was there to score. The doors finally open, and we're escorted to the electronics section where there's originally some order, but then generally became a clusterfuck, with the front and the back of the lines ending up on the different registers. Scum Of The Earth Dickweed requests Robin and Lucina, and actually gets them, because staff didn't actually maintain the order of the line. My friend's jaw hits the floor. Like what. The fuck.
(Meanwhile, the same Dickweed lleaves the store and comes back about five times, purchasing a Jigglypuff each time. My friends are watching him the whole time as he does this. Seriously what a fucking asshole)
Soooo after that, I head to Toys R Us to pick up my Greninja and spare Pac-Man preorder. There actually aren't many people on line at TRU and so I line up and it's nbd. Turns out they received 13 Lucina and Robin (as opposed to Target's 4). I get my vouchers and at that point, thinkin' all "hell yea more toyz 4 me" but then it hits me. I'm being greedy. ):
I text my priorly shafted friend and tell him I've got two vouchers and they're his if he gets his ass here soon.
His response is a simple ";A;"
and that, my friends, was my Good Deed of the Day.

I might cave again if any other cool ones drop in price. I saw Little Mac as low as 23 on amazon the other day.
Sucks I couldnt preorder a Splatoon 3 Pack. If any of my friends got it i might just borrow their set for unlocks and return them.
