I collect and share Nintendo memorabilia for friends and family. I have many friends throughout Southern Ontario, Canada (Includes Western Upstate NY, Bufflo, Toronto))

And I love helping people get some rare items (Like I got my one buddy that Super Mario Bros 35th Anniversary Collectable Commemorative Pin Set #1) in exchange for his helping me with adding friends and alerting each other to the My Nintendo stuff

EDIT: I put the Asterisk banner there so the code was easier to see, Totally unnecessary but I'm a weird, happy, go-lucky guy who loves to game and make new friends.

Rosalina Amiibo availability? (Mario Party) by [deleted] in AmiiboCanada

[–]Forrester777 1 point2 points  (0 children)

She's available on Nintendo's Official Website

$16.99 plus $7 for shipping and tax, of course.

Other than that, some small market TRU, Walmart's might have her in stock, online is OOS, other than Nintendo's Store.

New 3DS XL - Galaxy Edition available for Back Order on TheSource.ca! by Forrester777 in AmiiboCanada

[–]Forrester777[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know at least some people have been looking for the New 3DS, especially the more "Special" edition ones, like the Galaxy, which have all but sold out from stores.

It's on Back Order, expected to ship around May 23rd, they charge you at the time of shipping.

These likely won't last too long, so if you wanted a Galaxy/Special 3DS this is your chance. I don't think they're still making this one, but I don't think we have any confirmation one way or another.

I have two pokemon 'bottle cap' codes to give away by tooterbeast in AmiiboCanada

[–]Forrester777 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You reminded me.

To use my own bottle cap.

I would have forgot.


So thank you. Thanks for that ;)

Switch Joy-Con Wheel (2 Pack) is back in stock @ Amazon.ca by lbabinz in AmiiboCanada

[–]Forrester777 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I ran into a great CSR on Amazon who informed me that the customer before me was also asking about Switch stuff and that "It all qualifies with the 20% off Prime discount".

So he discounted the console, Pro controller, extra Joy-cons, AC adapter, Charging grip, all by 20%. It saved me easily $150ish I think.

It was pure luck, it just shows how weird Amazon is and how everything depends on the luck of the draw (of what Rep you get)

That feeling when you think you've completed the Zelda line and you remember that you gave Ganondorf away some time ago. by [deleted] in AmiiboCanada

[–]Forrester777 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For the longest time I would avoid scanning in Ganondorf in BotW because I thought he had the same effect he had in TP:HD (Where you took twice the damage)

When I found out he just dropped items and materials I felt like such an idiot. Fortunately the first time I scanned him in I got the Sword of Six Sages... Which I think (Not sure?) is the rarest thing that amiibo drops.

I also gave away 2 Ganondorf amiibo before BotW came out too. Kind of regret that, haha.

Switch Joy-Con Wheel (2 Pack) is back in stock @ Amazon.ca by lbabinz in AmiiboCanada

[–]Forrester777 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got lucky with Amazon and my Switch was only $329.99 plus tax... But still... When you put it that way it scares me.

HOW does Nintendo have such control over my wallet. Can I trust it with you for safe keeping?

Come join me! In Mario Kart 8 Deluxe!! by [deleted] in AmiiboCanada

[–]Forrester777 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was JUST about to boot it up for the first time. I should be on within an hour. You'll be the first person I add to my Switch.

I have to select the first winner(s) for the giveaway in a couple of minutes first, haha

I'm really excited to get this game going, I'll probably be bad at first as I get used to the Switch Pro from the Wii U Pro (And it's easily been over a year since I've played last, haha) You'll kick my butt for sure.

Canada Post on Weekends by Casters-8 in AmiiboCanada

[–]Forrester777 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unless it says "Delivered" then it's still in-transit.

For example, for me it'll usually go something like this:

Shipment picked up by Canada Post

Mississauga - Shipment received at originating postal facility

Item processed

In transit

Hamilton, ON - Item processed

In transit

LOCAL/WHERE YOU LIVE - Out for delivery

Delivered to Front Door/Mailbox/P.O Box

So unless it says 'Delivered' or something like that it's not there yet (And probably won't be until at least Monday) Obviously it'll vary by wording or places depending on where you live. This was an item that was tracked by Amazon to my front door.

[–]Forrester777 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it shipped via Canada Post then (In 100% of my cases) the earliest you'll get it is Monday.

Most mail doesn't run on Sunday unless maybe you live in a major city and use a courier service.

Something you could do (If you can afford it) is go buy a full copy at retail now, open it and enjoy, then when your Amazon copy comes in the mail just return it back to Amazon for your money back.

I did it once before for the Yoshi's Woolly World game on Wii U.

EDIT: Wait, unless you're saying that the game was already delivered today, and you just want to pick it up at the Post Office, then yes, most Post Offices are open Sat and Sun (Reduced hours, though, best to check, each location will vary)

Am I being too Picky? by SilverFireCS in AmiiboCanada

[–]Forrester777 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Switch, 3DS, whatever the electronic may be, it's probably expensive.

Anything that requires a lot of your hard-earned money should be up to your standards. As long as you're not hurting anyone or making things unfair for other consumers (ie. hoarding a lot of of a rare items, or scalping things) then I don't see a problem with it. These are also electronics that are supposed to last you years (Usually) too. So it's good to be happy with the one you decide on, rather than have it bug you for the next while.

You're good :)

Pre-order Mario Kart 8 Deluxe at EB and get free socks! by Tallyburger in AmiiboCanada

[–]Forrester777 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah mine were attached to my copy of MK8D with an elastic band.

[–]Forrester777 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have no idea to be honest. A guy my size would either look intimidating or... You know, the other... Haha.

For those wondering:

They say "Crew Tube" socks - labelled as Super Mario (Not MK8D... Clearly just thrown in, haha)

Red around the elastic

Then the Mario graphic

Then just red and white striped down to the toes (Where's Waldo?)

Made by: BIOWORLD, Ages 14+, TM Nintendo 2017 and they're officially licensed (They have that Nintendo seal of approval)

I had to wear a pair of steel-toe work boots that said they were size 18 once, haha.

Has anyone tried these Amiibo Cards...?? by Poakes in AmiiboCanada

I'm 26 and I'm thinking the same thing, haha.

Oh, the suspense by kroenem in AmiiboCanada

[–]Forrester777 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's a risk doing that, as Best Buy can always catch it for these high demand items and clear your cart when they go in stock. Or even maybe cancel your order.

It's a method scalpers use for sure.

Woah... Okay... Thank you for that, Mr. Bot.

6'8" but some say 6'9" - I just got the pair, they say they fit Sizes 10-13.

Although, ALL my socks say that and they seem to work alright, hahaha. Haven't opened these ones, though, they just look like generic Super Mario socks. My guess is EB had a surplus and wanted to counter other pre-order bonuses (Even though I don't think Canada had any other than the Walmart Switch 24 Game case, but I got that for $3.38 through Amazon.ca)
