I've shamefully purchased ~60 amiibos online but even then I would still be embarrassed to wait in line to get one much less during a pandemic.

What, new edition of Smash Bros character sold out? gently caress it, I'll pay an extra $10 to a reseller instead of driving to every gamestop in the tri state area trying to find it.

don’t buy collectibles

I have a dad with a ton of collectibles and somehow everyone who might pay what he thinks they’re worth also has those same collectibles and is trying to sell them to some other schmuck for the same price because that’s what these collectibles are worth, apparently. except anyone who wants them has them already and is trying to sell them for the same price??

if they make you happy to look at them then cool do it up but I’m going to berate the next person who tells me a dollar value of their Nintendo or Marvel characters like you could or would ever sell them.

or I guess I have friend who basically “scalps” NBA trading cards which is insane to me that he makes any money in the end, but I think he just likes Walmart scavenger hunts and basically breaks even in the end.

oh god yes.

I kinda went a little collector spree heavy for a bit and bought way too many, but I have the entire set of Zelda amiibos on display in a spice rack in my room and I love looking at it all the time. The others are tucked away in some boxes in my closet because while they are cool and fun I don't have a dedicated wall to nerd paraphernalia.

The people who keep/buy exclusively new in box have problems the entire point of a toy is to be able to physically handle it and move it around while making the whoosh noises.

also these

I had no idea what an Amiibo was and now I'm sorry I looked.

Upon the occasion of my much benighted birth my father bought me several mint condition star wars action figures. In the hopes that they would go up in value.

Needless to say, they did not go up in value.

Amiibos at least look better and yes provide the nominal additional value of dlc/cheats on some nintendo games.
