Re: Hate Thread
Unless it's a limited production # the manufacturer will just make more, so in essence the "collectors" are kind of just driving the price down and therefore screwing themselves. I know this doesn't help you get one now, but the thought of someone hurting themselves through stupidity always lifts MY spirits.
And jesus christ, I hate the idea of amiibos (which I was just made aware of) as a content unlocking system for games. I mean I don't like DLC but that's a whole other rat's nest, I can at least accept that it's not a COMPLETELY unreasonable method of content distribution. Edit : apparently there are people hacking amiibos/games to get at the stuff nintendo has locked away, you might want to look into that Lila, if content is what you're after.
Yeah, they're cool models, and I would actually consider buying some, if I had the money to spend on overpriced plastic. But having content you can only access if you have one for a game? It's insidious (genius from a marketing standpoint, but since I'm not profiting from it, fuck you nintendo), and not to mention something I would have thought beneath nintendo. TBH unless they start offering a digital, unlimited and instant way to unlock that content I won't be buying another nintendo product.

It can feel like it's taking forever if you think about it too much. So, just don't think about it, and eventually you'll have 1000! (but hopefully not by tomorrow).
