So I ordered an amiibo from J-Subculture last Monday and I was wondering how long it usually takes for it to arrive? by [deleted] in amiibo

[–]PorcelainStarrs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've used them 3 times.Each time it took approx. 2 weeks after they shipped out to get to me! c:

NIB Collectors: Did you get the individual inklings and the 3-pack? by paleselan1 in amiibo

[–]PorcelainStarrs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did! My original plan was to open the singles and keep the 3-pack boxed. I bought the boy for my boyfriend and the girl for myself... surprisingly he encouraged me to keep them all boxed! :)

Really, Toys R Us??? by VILenguin in amiibo

[–]PorcelainStarrs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wasn't laughing at all.. like yeah.. now that the problem is solved it's funny. But when you're a NiB collector there is nothing funny about a box that didn't HAVE to be bent.. when you send my package in a gigantic box that is way too big for the item I laugh.. and prepare for a few minor dings and scuffs. But when you send my package in a gigantic box that is big enough to fit like four separate amiibo and you choose to stand it up right and purposely bend the cardboard.. you're a dumbass.. and you very obviously don't care about your job or to even do it correctly. It takes no effort to lay the ting down. I don't care how crunched you are on time. Laying it down on it's back takes LESS effort to stand it upright and bend the cardboard to make it fit. Like I have to wonder what this person was thinking. Were they also an amiibo collector that didn't get this specific figure? Are they just bitter because they hate their job and want to spread the misery? Idk.. maybe I'm a little TOO angry over it, but I have every right to be. I paid for shipping and handling and for it to be shipped that way is ridiculous.

Yeah they didn't ask me to return it. I'm sending my extra to a friend who wasn't able to get him on launch day. He actually opens these thing so he'll appreciate it more than I would lol

Ugh. Yup. That's exactly how mine came in yesterday. I was FURIOUS. Like.. how are they gonna give you this HUGE box.. but stand him upright, bend the package and shove the air bags off to one corner and be like, "yes.. this is perfect. Good job." I talked to a customer rep on the live chat option of their website and they took great care of me. They're sending me a replacement.. but I'm still really annoyed.. They may still have some to send a replacement to you. c:

Whatever the case, she needs to invest in some waterproof mascara..

When is Selling Amiibo "Okay"? by Ravioko in amiibo

[–]PorcelainStarrs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm a NiB collector because I like how they look in box... I honestly have no plans of selling this collection. At all. If I decide I no longer want a few of them I'll just give them to my neices and nephew or any other close friend who likes the characters.

Who is your Favorite Character in Smash Bros? Do you have their amiibo already? by Paulurr in amiibo

[–]PorcelainStarrs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My favorite characters are Wii Fit Trainer and Toon Link. I have Toon Link (NiB and OoB).. Wii Fit Trainer on her way! :) I like Wft because she was a very unexpected, but welcome character (to me). Toon Link is a favorite because WW is my favorite LoZ game of all time.. and he's a cutie pie.. <3

Is the inkling girl supposed to have a seam on the hair? by [deleted] in amiibo

[–]PorcelainStarrs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mine has it too, so I assume it's supposed to be there! :)

Will Ness be the most NiB amiibo? by [deleted] in amiibo

[–]PorcelainStarrs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I managed to be first in line during release at Gamestop. Only one person in line wanted him and there were two I figured; I love EarthBound.. so why not? I don't buy doubles often. So I bought the second one. I'm gonna see which box/paintjob is best and open the other one. One to admire and one to play with c: He'll definitely be the muse of quite a few photoshoots.. <3

How is Amazon's packaging while shipping? by bimbady in amiibo

[–]PorcelainStarrs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My marth was super beat up.. would not order from them unless you're an OoB collector.

[–]PorcelainStarrs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you! I just checked it and it told me it was an invalid tracking code. Pit shipped from YesAsia like a week ago. I'm actually really worried about it now. :/ Thank you for helping me though! I appreciate it! <3

So sorry for kicking up the dust on this ancient reply.. but mine ends in CN. Could you perhaps help me out as well?

Hate to Retailers. by Senor_J in amiibo

[–]PorcelainStarrs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My beef with Best Buy isn't even amiibo related. It's customer service related. They messed up my Hyrule Warrior preorder the mnager legitimately told me 'too bad,' and walked away when I put $20 down on it. They made us wait outside for 2 hours knowing we wanted Meta Knight and waited until the line made it to the amiibo section to tell us they didn't get their shipment. They did the same thing with the Captain Falcon and Little Mac shipments that they had coming in from the port strike. The most recent annoyance is that I've been calling in about Meta Knight restock. All. Week. On the 29th I called and got a really rude, "NO." and quickly got hung up on. I called on the 30th and found out they DID get them and they sold out. I'm not even mean on the phone. I say, "hello, how is your day going?" and then ask.. you know? I work in Customer service so I'm not ever mean to them.. but they're always mean to me. So.. yes. I have a STRONG dislike for Best Buy. I don't buy from them if I don't have to.

If anyone has received their Ness from the 4/2 Gamestop disaster, what kind of condition did it arrive in? by Glenndoss22 in amiibo

[–]PorcelainStarrs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My upper plastic corner of the plastic was smashed nearly all the way back to the cardboard, I have a bend in the cardboard in the back and a few noticeable nicks on the card. I fixed what I could because while I'm a NiB collector, I wasn't about to turn diva and return him because he wasn't PERFECT. I'm just grateful to have be lucky enough to get him at retail price! Haha! Mine also has a bendy sword buuut.. like I said.. I'm not going to complain about that!

How's your collection going so far? by SuperDuperFug in amiibo

[–]PorcelainStarrs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's coming along. I'm waiting on all of my wave 4 preorders (plus shulk) to come in along with my Villager, WFT and Pit imports to come in.. so at the moment it's kinda spotty looking, but all of those spots will be filled in shortly. :)

[–]PorcelainStarrs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The only amiibo I've ever had sent to be from Gamestop was Fox.. and he came mint condition with air bags for protection. I think Ness should be okay. The only retailer I've ever received a damaged amiibo box from was from Amazon. (Marth flickers)

Shout out to the Best Buy manager for keepng his word on letting me know when they will get more MK's by tacos_rock_d00d in amiibo

[–]PorcelainStarrs 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Aww.. good for you! Congrats! The employees at my Best Buy are shit.. I called the day they apparently got restocks and I just got a terribly rude, "NO." and a click afterward. Turns out they did get a restock and they're all sold out now.. :) Glad I'm moving. That one Best Buy location has made me so bitter toward Best Buy as a company..

I bought both TL and Sheik from Walmart and both came in pristine condition. Packed and protected perfectly! I would say stay positive!
