RE: OT: The Official Video Game Discussion Thread (Battlefield 1 & Titanfall 2 are here)
Well, tonight I preorderd/ordered depending on how you view my purchasing decisions the entire new wave of Mario series Amiibos. I was going to do a full set from Best Buy but due to the fact it was 7 figures and I wanted to catch a sale somewhere, somehow so I stalled. Then at the beginning of this week I decided to check out target.com and the new wave qualified for a B2G1Free video game promotion but they wouldn't allow POs the whole week ( and they didn't have them listed till Sunday of this week in the first place). So I got nervous about availability and I work the early bird on release day (11/4) so in my paranoia I hopped on BBY to secure a PO in their system and come to find out I can get in-store pick up on all but 2 of them and those have to ship (keep in mind this is is at 1am today). Then, on a whim I tried Target one more time to see if their sale was up for preorder/ordering them (since it is now 11/4 release day).... it was.... however only half could be done in-store but they were showing no stock so I had to get them all shipped. That came out to $20 cheaper than BBY. I am going to let both orders arrive first and then decide about returning extras as I really can't double dip right now. Crazy thing is, amongst Gamestop, Target, Best Buy, Wal Mart, and Toys R Us some seem to be sold out some aren't, some are stocked at stores some aren't ....its crazy with this wave.... never seen a store only get a partial complete wave ( well sans any retailer exclusives). I do think I will keep the Boo's as I want an open one and a sealed one--because he glows in the dark.

And, after trading in Star Fox Zero I put the credit I got at Gamestop on the new Zelda Series ones:

Also, last week I was able to get a long awaited Gold Mario to open--and at retail no less--much cheaper than the one I splurged on last summer when any kind of restock was up in the air and they did a very limited production run. Also, BBY had some sort of crazy flash sale where, because of the insane cheapness of the prices, I got a Faclo, Fox, and Ryu to keep as sealed ones.


Damn these figures are like crack... once you get addicted....
