Was able to easily use up some trade credit built up from last weekend's flip-a-palooza with a couple of $100 Amazon cards today. Staff had to look in a box behind the counter for them and were almost going to give all the GCs in the $25 amounts before they found the stack of 25-500s. Glad I...

Definitely starting to experience some Amiibo fatigue with the run-around to get preorders in for the new Zelda Amiibo and P2 Smash variants (although it could be a side effect of working too many hours lately). I'll probably just keep an eye out for when the JP versions hit the secondary market...

Got a P2 Cloud preorder in at GS after work but the store only had an allocation of 5 for TP Link, so I was out of luck there. Got all of the regulars preordered from BBY for in-store pickup at my usual store. Guess I'll just have to hope I happen to be looking at my phone in the 30 second...

There is an Amiibo Card Trade Thread in the trading forum, but it looks like it's been quiet for a bit. I've been meaning to update my lists so I can complete my sets since I just bought some of the new cards from the "welcome Amiibo" set.

Was able to pick up my OOT and 8-bit Link from in store today at BBY...had to change my WW 2-pack to shipping because I was sent a notice yesterday that my store wasn't going to have one of the WW pack for me to pick up. Has this happened to anyone else? I preordered these the second they went...

Finally finished all three routes in Fire Emblem Fates. Enjoyable story overall. In the meantime, my Pokemon Sun and Moon steelbook showed up (that I had completely forgotten about). Gave my brother the copy of Pokemon Moon, so Pokemon Sun is next up on the portable list. One game down....but...

Finished Fire Emblem Fates: Conquest...but I had to notch the difficulty down to Phoenix so I could finish the damn thing. I enjoyed the story, but for the sake of the backlog I set the game to super-easy for quicker completion. One more story path left in Fire Emblem Fates: Revelation, then I...

Made onto Chapter 13 of Fire Emblem Fates: Conquest and I can see why this is the more difficult of the two base games. Tons more thought and decision-making go into each stage (and the objectives are more varied instead of just "kill all units"). Serious respect for those who don't play on...

Mafia 3 is in my queue, so I'll be looking forward to starting it....at some point.

Decided to start trying to keep track of working through my backlog of games (among many other backlogs: movies, books, anime... and other hobbies:  watching sports, crafting). Started to work on the 3DS backlog as I can play while a given sporting event is on the TV. Finished up Kirby: Planet...

Happy that these re-prints are popping up so people can grab what they missed out on during the initial rush and finish their personal collections. Very glad that Gold Mario showed up as a reprint recently as that was the last one I was missing.

Seriously, more Splatoon amiibo? At least my wallet gets about a month to breathe after the Kirby series/Summer Isabelle/AC S4 cards in June.

Guess I'll have to stop by TRU on my way to work this morning and see if I get lucky - MYY and Gold Mario are the only two I'm missing ATM.

Back again with a new series and looking for some trades! Thanks to some awesome CAGs I was able to complete my S1 set and I'm a few cards away from S2! Hopefully some of my cards can help complete some sets for others! Trades do not have to be 1:1, but please be reasonable with trade offers...

Just had to send my Amazon copy back for an exchange, as my copy of the guide was bound upside down. Still usable but very annoying, so off to exchange it goes.
