People with Amiiboners...

[technozombie]

Shortly after their release it was stated by someone at Nintendo(can't remember who) that some of the less popular characters wouldn't get a second production run. This lead reseller types to run out and buy them and collectard type to lose their shit and pay crazy amounts of money for a piece of plastic that could easily be made by Nintendo if real actual demand existed. Too bad Bonk isn't in Super Smash Bro's, he would make a great addition, Zonk as an alternate costume.

Missed opportunity, screw Nintendo right in their Nintendhole.

I had to look these up, as I had no idea what these are. I skimmed through, and they seem to be statues that you do something with in games? I had something like that in the late 80s, early 90s from Nintendo. They were called, "Trophies", and had different game scenes, and a decal on them, where I was to ink my high score, and date of. They were, I think, sold as, "Trophies". They didn't communicate with games, though.

That actually looks kind of cool.

Medic,


There were lots of different ones. I had them for Mario, mostly. They were almost, "Forever" in ToysRUs' video game aisle clearance. I still have the once of Mario escaping the squid, somewhere.

Also had scenes from Zelda and Punch-Out, never had neither of those game's trophies, though.

I preordered the Sonic and Megaman ones from wallyworld (being fan of both). Who knows, one of them may be missing a leg or some crazy ass shit and I'll be able to retire.

Lol, a legless Sonic would be hilarious on so many levels.

Lol... when I think of Nintendo, I instantly think of Mario, so that creates some ugly images in my brain that I would love very much to un-see.

Oh, and I have zero interest in Amiibos. Although the name makes me think of Samba de Amigo. So, uh...  that's pretty cool, I guess.

Maracas!

Of course it does, it is old

If it's not older than me, it's not old.

True story: I have never seen the products that this thread is about. I never even heard of them.

I am pleased.

I'd rather have them collecting this shit rather than more games I want to buy.  Go for it you crazy f*ckers!
