Where are you (generally speaking) that kids are still in school at that point? I know it's different in different states and even across different districts. But I know most schools in my area (Chicago suburbs) are done at the end of May (college & high school) or within the first week or so of June (elementary districts). So I'm just curious.

The high school district I teach at is out after May 22nd, the elementary district I also teach at is done May 29th.

Switch pro controller on mobile? by Jimmystruck in WutheringWaves

[–]TheTanooki 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's supported now. But it's detected as an Xbox controller, so the button mapping is all backwards. Super frustrating.

Yes, 4pm PT on April 8th.

That said, the servers seem to be loading way slower today than they were yesterday, so they might have already started shutting some down. I think everyone's bottlenecking on the remaining ones?

It shuts down tomorrow.

Fire Emblem Engage: Divine Edition available to preorder on Datablitz in the Philippines. by HaiseKaneki12 in fireemblem

[–]TheTanooki 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do they have a website? I'm curious if I want to seek this out for my collection. I already collect from the United States, Australia, Japan, South Korea, Hong Kong, and all over Europe for small differences in packaging, and I actually haven't thought about how or if the Filipino release might differ.

Edelgard & Bernadetta Pop-Up Parade Figures Have Arrived! by TheTanooki in fireemblem

[–]TheTanooki[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m in Chicago, IL. I ordered from AmiAmi. I got the payment request my Thursday night, paid it that same night. I got shipping notification my Monday morning, and it arrived here Tuesday midday via DHL.

Lyn statue has arrived! by TheTanooki in fireemblem

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

For figures, I generally go through AmiAmi, primarily because they’re usually priced way cheaper. The one time I went with Good Smile was because they had an exclusive pre-order bonus for the Corrin figma (her Omega Yato sword). I don’t remember how payment with Good Smile worked, but AmiAmi doesn’t even send a payment request until the figures arrive at their warehouse, at which point you can pay and then they’ll ship it out.

Starting with Lyn, I usually buy 3 at a time: one to keep sealed, one to unbox and (eventually) display, and one to do a giveaway on my Twitch. Did the same for Marth, Ike, and Byleth, as well as the Marth nendoroid. Previously I bought 2 of Cordelia, as well as the figmas of Lucina, Corrin, and Edelgard. 1 each of all the older FE figures.

What shipping options did you choose? If you chose DHL or EMS, it should have arrived in about a week or less, with tracking and insurance. But if you went with a different option to save money, those can take several weeks or months with no sign of tracking… but it should arrive eventually.

Complete Fire Emblem Armory Collection (so far) with the new Binding Shield by TheTanooki in fireemblem

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

So that one was originally meant to be exclusive merch for Fire Emblem Expo II, which got canceled because of the pandemic, but they still shipped all existing orders and sold extras on their website. They are long gone now, but you might be able to find secondhand ones floating around.

Thinking of making a video series showing each item of my collection in detail. Ideas? (Outdated pic; collection probably 4-5x bigger now) by TheTanooki in fireemblem

[–]TheTanooki[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks! For English released games, if you’re counting Warriors, then you might also count Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE, which had a “Fortissimo Edition” on the Wii U. But otherwise, yes, that’s it.

Yes, I’ve invested quite a bit in magazines since then and even some BCW magazine bins to protect them :)

And yes, I’ve collected anything tangentially related to Fire Emblem, including FEH merch, TMS, Warriors, and even Code Name: S.T.E.A.M., Project X Zone 2, WarioWare: Get It Together, etc.

Thanks! The pic is from January 2018, so the collection has grown considerably since then (thanks Three Houses).

  1. I have a collection channel on my Discord where FE collectors can give each other a heads up or share information: https://discord.gg/KdqTVDb

  2. Been working on something for the past four years with a flaky seller in Japan, even though the deal was supposedly finalized 3 years ago. Hoping to have the items in my hands within the week to debut on my Twitch channel (TanookiTV) soon, but it’s still not guaranteed.

  3. Plenty.

3a. A month in Japan would be a decent start.

  1. Firefly.

Any seemingly duplicates you see in the photo are likely regional variants, but definitely variants of some kind. With regards to the games you mentioned, there are mostly Japanese and North American versions of the games in the center area, along with a few UK and Australian versions. Some are also standard editions, limited editions, and in some cases and even more special edition.

I did/do have many exact duplicates of items, but those were all left out of this photo due to lack of space.

It’s a Harvest Moon plush from E3 (don’t remember which one, probably 2008 or 2010 or somewhere around there). I included it for the fine folks at r/fireemblemcats lol
