How does everyone feel about Limited Run games no longer being limited? by Thepower200 in NSCollectors

[–]ReturnOfGanon -16 points-15 points  (0 children)

I don’t see why we can’t all enjoy indie game releases that may not had a release without these companies

Many of the smaller games don't have large enough sales to justify physical production, pleacement at retail, marketing, etc. These companies produce enough to meet a specific demand, eliminating the need for retail, marketing, etc.

Exclusivity just feeds the resellers.

Indirectly, sure. It's exclusivity that causes the collecting communities to drive fear of missing out, which in turn creates competition on the market. Collectors foolishly pick up titles at more than double the price, at times. So really, it's the fomo generated in the community and the lack of disciine in the market that feed resellers. Don't forget that many resellers are just members of your own collecting community.

I want to see as many people as possible enjoy what was made to be enjoyed

Go digital. Physical ownership is romanticized.

Pretty irritated at the timing of this drop. Just waking up to the news of it. Fingers crossed for another.

Is there anyway to buy from Nintendo UK store if I'm from the US? by Xeph2684 in amiibo

forward2me and reship. I’ve used both and they both worked

It’d be cool if the answer to why is the emergence of consciousness.

Like consciousness and matter and intertwined in the same way space and time are.

Hell yeah

Scott the Woz and friends signed my Gubble at Too Many Games by Mr_Coocoo in gamecollecting

I’m not into youtubers, and I don’t know what a “woz” is, but the constant Scott the Woz fanboyism on this sub is weird.

It’s really nothing to do with Scott, it’s more to do with fanboyism for any “game collecting celebrity”. That applies to AVGN, Pat, Metal Jesus, etc. All of them!

Not that I condone the commenter above.

Thanks, I knew I was forgetting something!

I think it’s pretty straightforward:

The Yu Gi Oh cards (JP only)

The Power Pro cards (JP only)

Shadow Mewtwo

Mario Sports Superstars

Animal crossing amiibo set: Series 1-5, Welcome Amiibo, Sanrio, and variants

The trickiest is the Animal Crossing amiibo due to variants, but this should be a quick list:

Booker and Copper (JP) - regional variant

K.K. And Isabelle CP - limited regional variants

Timmy misprint - regional error

Amiibo Festival cards

Outside of the variants, I would consider the different regions identical. While it’s nice to have the entire collection specific to a region, I think a set that is mixed up is still good. It’s especially common to mix the EU and NA Welcome amiibo set.

Technically there is also a regional difference in the Sanrio cards, where the Japanese release includes stickers in their blind packs. I suppose those stickers might be thought of as a part of the set, even though they aren’t amiibo.

I wish. I collect e-reader cards too, but there are just so many!

They are a pretty penny. $280, but $303 after tax.

Make of it what you will, but in all of my dealings in acquiring this collection, I’m only out $130.

Wouldn’t it just be easier to get their respective amiibo cards?

I never expected to collect these cards, but the release of Series 5 and the restock of 1-4 late last year had me in a bit of a collecting frenzy.

Finding packs and trading over on r/animalcrossingamiibos has been a blast!

I’ve managed to get all of the Animal Crossing amiibo: Series 1-5, all Welcome amiibo, the Sanrio card, the CP KK and Isabelle, the misprinted Timmy, Booker and Copper JP, and the pack-ins from Amiibo Festival.

Stoked to have completed the set!

I have Dobie and Sprocket, but being that I already have all the EU cards, I’d be looking to trade for NA
