It started yesterday. I made a post about it, but I guess I didn't use a big enough font or vibrant colours.

I hate that Nintendo put that freaking aluminum tape so you can't use them withou taking them out at least harming that package. Wtf is up with that shit?

I actually like that they did that.

Other than the using and returning of them, why do you like it?

I see no reason to like it even with that opinion stated above. Because who cares? It's not it's going to keep me from unlocking the stuff in my game.

I'm not fully certain why I like the piece of foil, but I do.

It's a little like any other toy. You can keep it in its package because you want to gamble that it will be valuable one day, or you can open it up and enjoy it. I kind of like that in this case you can't have your cake and eat it too. Open up your toys and play with them!

It's not like you can play games that are kept factory sealed, so why should something like amiibo be any different?

Because if I pay money for something it should be how I want it.

Sure you're right. I can't keep a game in it's original sealed condition, but back in the day, I didn't have to tear the box up to get the game out either. And new games have a case and the only way they get damaged is through neglect.

They made the amiibos to where they are displayable through the packaging. So why not? You can use Skylanders through their packaging. (At least the older ones.) also, they aren't action figures, the don't have moveable joints, so there is no reason to take them out of the packaging other than to bypass the aluminum tape.

I have found a decent way to where I can use them while they are still in the package but it's a pain in the ass to do.

So I'm not trying to be rude or argue with you, but since you don't have a reason, It sounds like you are trying to argue with me and how I want what I payed for to be the way I want, just for shits and grins.
What are you looking at? You think baby's don't like video games? THEN YOU DON'T KNOW SHIT ABOUT BABIES!!

Just hit up TRU in Stockton, they've got Bowser. They said that Sheik will be on the next shipment, and that they stopped taking preorders in order to have enough to put on the shelves

I'm not trying to argue. I said that I like the fact that amiibo have to be removed from their packaging to be used. You asked me why and I explained as best I could.

I'm not going to change what you prefer anymore then you'll sway me.

Sadly, I do not even have them! I am tucked away up in Canada, so I have no clue when I'll actually see Wave 3 hit the shelf!

Wow, that seems like a pretty good deal... How much is the game itself? If it's a standard $60 game then that's a free amiibo!

Got myself a Bowser and Toon Link at a Toys R Us in CT.  Didn't see Sheik or Ike, but good to know they've been spotted.
