I'd still be incredibly surprised if it gets paid. There are legitimately rare and sought after ACTUAL GAMES that go for far less. I've seen a thousand auctions just like that before. The absolutely insane jumps in price are a tipper. I've known people who bid on something with their real account to make it seem legitimate, then make new accounts just to outbid themselves and ensure they won't need to pay for it.

Anyways, my fiance told me when she got home that Diddy and Little Mac rang up as WFT and Villager at the Target, which implies all kinds of stuff. Seems like those two and a potential third, I'm assuming Pit right now, but maybe Captain Falcon, will be taking over the spot of the "rare three" from Wave 1. Although, it seems like the stock on Fox is really starting to dwindle, so I wouldn't be at all surprised if Pit/CF replaces him and he's the fourth to be discontinued going forward.

Checked Gamestop. I was told that they "sold out" of the new wave. Including Zelda, which is pretty unbelievable considering how many of her are in the case. I left with a Donkey Kong. Diddy or Lil Mac are next.

The start of the new wave is actually pretty incredible. All three of the new characters are super nice looking. Zelda in particular looks really great, as her dress has a ton of small details.

I went back to TRU tonight and took advantage of their 3 for $30 sale on Amiibo to finish off Wave 1. Got Peach and Kirby, plus picked up a Samus for my nephew for Christmas. I've got everyone so far and I have Pit and Captain Falcon locked up via pre-order. Pretty happy with where I stand Amiibo-wise.

Those "factory errors" seem really easy to make. I could probably make a few myself. Tieless DK, fireball-less Mario, ect.

Well I've been playing Smash a lot recently, mostly online and wow an I pretty bad, are there any official stats of "tiers" because I don't know if its just me that became so bad at Smash or if Pikachu was indeed "nerfed", he KO's really easily and its attacks are no longer as powerful. At least I'm still better than any other Pikachu player I've encountered online.

Today I finally played some of the single player options and I'm a little overwhelmed by everything, to me the menus seem much more confusing than in Brawl or Melee. I almost feel like there's too much content, with so many playable characters I really don't feel like playing through all the different solo campaigns with all characters, but I still want to unlock trophies/stages/music etc. and I have no idea why, I guess I'll need to take a look at a smash bros wiki to find out what unlocks what, I just hope there aren't too many unlockables or its a situation of Donkey Kong 64 where more wasn't necessarily better. Makes me feel like Cranky Kong as I remember fondly in the original Smash I completed all the challenges and everything in the game with all characters.

But yeah kinda odd to complain about too much content but hope someone understands what I'm talking about. I'll be happy at least if I can unlock all the music/stages. I'd love to have all the trophies but that was always a hassle and I bet its a bigger one now. Talking about stages, I'm so tired of Monett, Ness really deserved a new stage. Any Melee stages that returned in Brawl and here make me mad except for Hyrule Castle, also I feel they chose the worst stages from Brawl to make a return. As far as the new stages I'm 50/50 on them, half of them are some of the worst/boring in the series while others are some of my favorite in the series.

A friend of mine found a crownless Peach amiibo yesterday. She's putting it up on ebay, so we'll see what happens!

Got Mcdave and Link today. I'm thinking about selling the empty packaging on ebay as a "missing link' factory error.

Anyone think collecting trophies is far easier now than Melee or Brawl? Sure beating Classic and All-star with every character is still a tedious and time consuming affair, but all the other trophies are so easy to get, besides the ones locked behind hard challenges.

There are 712 something trophies in the Wii-U version and I got 500 of them after only 4 days of playing. The trophies locked behind the hard challenges though I don't know if I'll ever be able to get, some of those are brutal.

I was dead set on collecting every single amiibo, but I'm glad I didn't. I couldn't keep my cool with scalpers back when I worked at toys r us, so it's probably best that I stay away from them.
