Forgot to mention this to you @pinky, seeing as @Skiller already knows, but I got some bad luck with best buy recently.
First off, I order the Lucina re-release. Everything is fine but her sword is rather "limp" shall I say.
Second was the Captain Falcon fiasco. First they sent it in a bubbled plastic envelope. They obviously had to bend the top to make it fit. I called customer service and gave them the order number and they told me there would be some where on the label that I could fill out to make sure they replace it with a perfect copy... which turned out to basically be a lie. So I ended up just returning it to the store.
Then I wanted to order another one, but I wanted to make sure it would come in a box. I ended up having the strangest experience when I called customer service. First couple of tries to reach an actual person to discuss the matter I got stuck in a loop and had to hang up. By the third time I was so flabbergasted the machine/robot basically said it couldn't understand me and would patch me through to a person. Went to the person, tried to explain what I wanted... then they hung up. I had to call back two more times before I got through the menus and to another person. And they said I had to order it first and then they could do that. So I ordered it and called back and talked to a different department which flat out said there is nothing they could do.
Well... ended up getting it and you should have seen this box it was in. every seemed taped tight. I was thinking wow, maybe they did do something. Wishful thinking... the amiibo is self had been slightly beaten up before even put in the box.
I thought I had to share this story with you.

Well if I wanted those 30th anniversary link amiibo, looks like all those are gone except for the pixel one.
I just noticed they can do some interesting stuff on TLoZ:BofW. It has got me wondering if I should get this new set too so I can use them in the game.
It's a shame, I figured my Link and Zelda amiibo from the SSB would work, but nothing has been mentioned yet.
But damn, another 86 on-top of what N is getting me for already. I see why they call it the switch, I'm basically handing over my wallet. Already in 550 and all I got is 2 games, pro controller, and screen protector. I have not even thought about adding additional memory yet. And now the amiibo is another 85??? And then what, I don't get them now or else then I don't get them for years, if that.
Feel like I need to make my mind up soon though. Might want to pick up that damn pixel Link if I go through with it...urgh NINTENDO!!!!

Well, I just preodered the whole dang TLoZ:BotW series amiibo. The Zelda one was no longer available from BestBuy, so I had to order from Amazon. This way I will have them when I find out what they do... then I can decide if I want to open them and play with... or take them back.

thanks. I hope I'm on disability by my birthday which is in the middle of the year. I had about $78 to my person, but I made about $300 on all those games. I could try selling some of my genesis and snes games next. shining force 2 might be worth something. I own that game, and I bought it for a small fortune years ago.

it's not so much for the amiibos. times have been rough for me the past couple years. I just need something to latch on to, something to look forward to. Nintendo has really helped a lot, not just with the amiibos, but with the Wii U, retro games, and stuff like that. it's not the same feeling I have towards Sony or Microsoft. it's like reliving ur childhood which is something I need right now.
