So I can scalp them

Hot glue

cheap cool figures with secondary features in games
At least for me

They aren't nearly sexy enough

I only buy statues with massive knockers and big fat jiggly asses

My nigga.

They are cheap and small. Most look like shit, but the simpler ones are nice, and I guess for some people it's the only way to get a figure of certain characters.

We also made them fight in smash with some friends and sometimes bet on who would win.

I don't, they are too fucking expensive in my country. I onced had the opportunity to buy the callie and marie set for like 70% less of its price, but I couldn't go to the store the day the sale was announced and when i could go two days later it was sold out.

The only one I own and the only one I will ever own is Shovel Knight. I got it because decent Shovel Knight merch is rare and I wanted to support it.

I got them for the costumes and "challenges".

I'm glad they're compatible with Splatoon 2, I just want to know what they do.

I like them

All the ones I've seen and bought look nice despite everyone saying they're mcdonald's toys, and I only bought em because I like merch of vidya I love. I still have too many, though.

I wanted a figure of my boy Ike.

Because I have money and you dont.

The Spinner was a lot of fun to use in Hyrule Warriors.
Plus, it's neat to have decent figures of Pac-Man and ROB.

>they made separate NES ROB and Famicom ROB amiibo

Bless t hem.

I'm a PC gamer. Nice try, though.

Is that the new Futaba Sakura figure?

Children typically like playing with toys.

I actually wasn't but I've come into ownership of a handful or two as a result of buying certain games (Zelda:TP HD, Captain Toad, and I bought the Splatoon 3-pack standalone because it was cheap) and the fact the Woolly World Amiibos were adorable.

cheap figures of a lot of characters who will never get actual decent figures.

also I like to hot glue my daisy all night and she makes for a good butt plug believe it or not.

>white people

>cheap figures of a lot of characters who will never get actual decent figures.
Pretty much this. I only own a handful, the last I bought being callie and marie, which are actually really good quality.

What? You don't like figures of obscure characters who likely would have never received a figure?

Well they unlock shit, even old as fuck amibos find use as minor quasi dlc in new games while they always release new ones that will give substantial unlocks .
It's genius and an obscene audacity at the same time.

Totally an acceptable business practice. Thanks for enlightening me.

I blame my parents, They have been collecting useless Disney shit since i have memory. Anyway, yesterday I reserved the 3 announced smash amiibos and the Cloud alternate.

I don't because I'm not a child.

Oftentimes it is the only way to get a cheap figure of a character that actually looks like the characters rather than the demon eyed greasy blobs known as pop figures. And they can work in games.

It's no worse than any other game with on-disc DLC.
If anything, it's a bit better, since you get a figure and it works with multiple games.

>Buying optional DLC with one click.
>Buying children's toys, waiting for shipping, opening them up, inputting the code, throwing out the toy.

Not the same thing.

>inputting the code, throwing out the toy.
What kind of amigos are you using user?

I appreciate the thought but I rather just buy what I want instead of cluttering my shelf with Links and Zeldas because I can't stand not having everything a game has to offer.

I like having cute things on my shelves.

Sue me.

>input my DLC code for free skins in Nier Automata
>input that same code into Final Fantasy XV
>game is now corrupted and all my characters are straight

thanks user... thanks a lot..

>They released the Famicon ROB in the US as well so you wouldn't have to import or deal with scalpers.
Give shit to Nintendo for a lot of things regarding how they handled Amiibos, this is not one of them.

>inputting the code, throwing out the toy.

>>Buying children's toys, waiting for shipping, opening them up, inputting the code, throwing out the toy.
>I don't know what Amiibos are but I'm going to comment in the thread anyway and act like I know shit
Cool.

Alright, alright. Calm your fucking autism.

>Buying children's toys, waiting for shipping, opening them up, scanning the toy, throwing out the toy.

Is that better? I'm still guessing.

Throwing the toy away is dumb, since it works for multiple games. Plus some functions require them to be scanned more than once (i.e. Smash's figure fighters).

>Throwing out the toy

kek

>I'm still guessing
And you're still getting it wrong, why don't you fuck off and google some shit.

>throwing out the toy
If you're going to do that then don't buy it in the first place. Most people get them knowing they'll put them on a shelf or something, at least think of selling it, there will be always someone willing to buy it consed

Some amiibos are compatible with multiple games too.

Literally the only answer

ALRIGHT

FUCK

>Buying children's toys, waiting for shipping, opening them up, scanning the toy, throwing the toy somewhere where it won't be found like the back of my closet.

Goddamn. Happy?

>*consed
Fuck
Considering how rare some of them are.

>Some amiibos are compatible with multiple games too.
And can be scanned multiple times, like the Zelda dailies.

Man you're cool. How much puss do you pull? I try to get girlfriends but they see my amiibo collection and laugh at me, and my tiny penis.

I've been single for five years, but I've fucked attractive women. Society sickens me so I avoid everyone.

So you're telling me they make you scan that shit all the time? Sometimes daily?

Are they raising the retail price of these things? Why are all the BotW amiibo 16 bucks instead of 13?

Anyone tried to insert Midna? given the size I bet you could fit her and have a lil wolf link hanging out by your scrot..

>make you
Yeah you have to scan them daily, once you've scanned them once you need to check in every 24 hours or they become invalid. Its a form of DRM. You fucking idiot

>Yeah you have to scan them daily, once you've scanned them once you need to check in every 24 hours or they become invalid.
Literally what game does that?

spbp

Woosh

You know damn well what I meant.

Not really. What you mean by make you? You can use amiibos multiple times in some times. Example, in the new Zelda amiibos act as daily chests you can use.

You're not made to do anything.

Because Nintendo turned Animal Crossing into an amiibo game while i wasn't looking. They sabotaged my game and now i need these things

Isn't this new free update awesome Animal Crossing fans?
You only need to buy these pricy statues to get anything out of it.

Also Shovel Knight villager when?

The game was more than two years old so I don't know why you're complaining

Shovel Knight?? im STILL wondering why Donkey Kong wasn't in

>statues
Fuck are you doing buying the statues
the cards are what gives you villagers

It is MY money and I do not need to tell YOU how and why I spend MY money in the way that I do.

You are probably poor and are just mad that you cannot afford to collect Amiibo.

Sad.

TRANSFORM: ANTI-BULLY RANGER

Why does the female Inkling figure have such a sculpted butt compared to the male?

disposable income and a desire to collect meaningless totems to document my downward spiral

>"We want the pedophile audience."

Jew shilling.

Plus they take up too much space in my already cluttered room

It's the best a character could get.
>tfw no proper Bayonetta statue
>tfw no larger proper Bowser figure

>$25 in Canada
This isn't even the exchange rate nintendo you fucks.

>>tfw no larger proper Bowser figure
I suppose you mean something bigger/better than these?

>good quality collectibles considering the price and certain franchises/characters that don't tend to have much merchandise
>certain figures have nice bonuses in games that you don't feel obliged to buy, but appreciate using every now and then

severely underrated post

>"I'm justified in buying children's toys. See? I typed out all these arguments. There's three sentences here."

kys

Amiibo!
Mommy mommy! Baby Jimmy want Amiibo! I want all Amiibo!

Because I've got disposable income and they're not half-bad little figures assuming you buy them at MSRP. For a lot of the characters, you don't have much choice anyway.

Fuck Nu-Nintendo

This

I really wanted to buy the BotW amiibos. But they're like twice the price of what amiibos used to be.

Because it's video game merchandise and I'm a collectorfag. I don't give a rat's ass about whatever may or may not be locked by the figurines because I don't even unbox them.

Closest you'll get to the more obscure Nintendo characters as figures. Also, it's something that I really wanted since Melee came out with their trophies.

>like a certain character and the way the figure looks
>it happens to give you minor in-game bonuses
Whats the problem?
