Title: Chibi-Robo! Zip Lash game + Amiibo bundle for $15
Post by: abe on April 19, 2016, 07:51:26 pm
The Chibi-Robo! Zip Lash game and Amiibo bundle is on sale on EB Games and Amazon.ca for $15 Canadian. It's the best price I've seen it so far, even less than buying the Amiibo by itself (at least in Canada).

EB Games (https://www.ebgames.ca/3DS/Games/721233/chibi-robo-amiibo)

Amazon.ca (https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B00Z0DNVX0/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?smid=A3DWYIK6Y9EEQB&psc=1)

*Edit: The bundle is no longer $15 on Amazon.ca as of April 22nd, 2016, but the sale is still on from EB Games.

I wish I'd waited to buy this (I got it at launch), but it was during the amiibo craze, and I was worried that it'd be hard to come by.  Oh well!  The gamble is high sometimes  :P

Don't remind me of the ridiculous amount of money I spent on amiibo from Japan because of that amiibo craze that eventually restocked in the states. $50+ for a god damn Marth.

It's too bad Nintendo couldn't be bothered to reprint more Fire Emblem Amiibo before Fates released back in February. :-\ A North American Marth Amiibo is still too expensive even after his reprint.

Oh gawd, I almost fell into that. I had the chance to buy the full first wave for retail from Loot Crate but passed and came to regret that decision. Possibly. Partly I don't regret it because I would've never used the figures - would've just had them sitting around, collecting dust and daydreamed about a future "investment" even though I never sell my stuff.

They are figurines, so at least they still look cool even if you keep them in their plastic prisons.

I initially wanted to just buy the Ness amiibo, then I got the bright idea of just getting my favorite Nintendo characters to sit on a shelf as display pieces to decorate my gaming section. Had no real intention to use them but it's nice to have a figure with a second purpose. I'll post a crappy lit photo of the set up.

Yup, which is why we now have like 15 of the suckers sitting around taking up space -___-

This is what one turned into. I got these cases so that once they're full, I'd no longer be able to buy any more amiibo. I had to set a limit. http://i.imgur.com/Vaxjr7o.jpg

I've never been a sealed in box kind of guy. I like to have as much room as possible. The less space something takes up, the more I can have of said thing. Besides, you never know when you'll want to use them.

Picking this bad boy up tomorrow from Gamestop. Too cheap to say no to and I love this series.
