I could blow it on the first round of the next game and still be #1 on the leaderboards without ever winning a game.  Seems like a hollow victory.

You know you can still give money to the charity without expecting something in return, right?

I dislike region locking as well, but I can't get behind the idea that it is hurting charities.

Wow.  This is a very progressive type of sale.

And this is Nintendo, right?

Make him Community Manager again.

After what I did to her yesterday, I'd feel sorry for him if he were. :D

My guess is, any of them you want to trade are the ones everyone's going to have a hard time getting.

Nigh-Impossible:
Robin
Lucina

Maybe:
Marth
Meta Knight
Dedede
Silver Mario

If you're early:
Greninja
Jigglypuff

Wait for a sale:
Splatoon
Charizard
Wario

Isn't the messenger bag sold out?

I'm happily married for over ten years.  Any woman who can put up with me for this long deserves my undivided attention.

Besides, I didn't really bicker with Khush.  I mostly let him have his say and left it at that.

Ooh... is MetaKnight getting a restock too?   That actually makes it much more appealing, if I had any confidence in getting both.

Yeah, I posted elsewhere...  There's several of the hard-to-find amiibo getting a restock on the 29th along with the larger wave of new figures.

You create a second account, then sign up for your own Safe Words game with the second account - then, make sure that account wins.  Perfect plan.

Random Star
This star goes to a player chosen at random:

Now, I want a custom Mario Party ROM where, after playing for 2 hours, the game just awards 20 different stars randomly. :D

1138
In typical Mario Party tradition, I think our host should just start randomly awarding stars to various players based off of made-up, bull**** stats and declare someone else a winner.

1139
And we all knew that would happen. ;)

I don't understand.  How useful is a second Wii U if you only have one working Gamepad between them?  Isn't that just going to restrict the freedom of both getting use at the same time which would be the whole point of having two of them?  I would just fix the Gamepad.

Backup system?

If they're charging $125 to replace and you can get a backup system for $75 more (less if you resell the packed-in Skylanders stuff), then it's not a bad plan.

Something I think some people miss is that spending $50 on a Dedede via eBay doesn't just not help Nintendo, it actually *hurts* them.

Reseller goes to a store and spends $13 on a Dedede.  Nintendo (and the rest of the distribution chain) makes $13.  Reseller sells the figure on eBay for $50.  Reseller makes $37.

However, your entertainment budget isn't infinite.  $50 on Dedede means $37 dollars less you have to spend on the Kirby amiibo you've been eying, but aren't quite sure you want.  Instead of possibly spending $50 on Nintendo stuff., you only spent $13 - as far as what Nintendo sees.

Dang.  I was really hoping to knock one or two more out before I lost that cushion.  And I *almost* went with Cheep Chomp.  Dang.

1144
Yeah, they've tweeted both today. Gr.

Friday is shaping up to be interesting. Robin and Lucina are going to be super-hard to get, Target opens first and is limiting customers to two figures (total) per person, and, of course, they have an exclusive, which means you can't complete your collection at Target.

My wife has a catering job early Friday morning, so it's going to be interesting to make this work... but I think I can do it. :D

Toys R Us has the 8GB Skylanders SWAP Force Bundle for $199 through the end of the month.  Get that, flip the included Skylanders stuff and have a spare Wii U (although it'll be an 8GB and a white unit)...

1147
That explains so very much.

I was fully expecting *someone* to nominate that thread. ;)

I know I said I was out, but to clear up any confusion that a few of you might have, Khush received no official moderator action when the post in question was deleted.  He received no ban, nor any kind of official warning, nor any kind of mark on his profile.

This is because *one* post by him was determined to be detrimental to the ongoing discussion in the thread and was removed - with absolutely no other action taken.

And with that, I'm out again.

I'm hoping for the revamped rules I've been asking for for awhile. :D
