August 2015 - What summer is finally perhaps coming??? Let's get stuff!
Megatron:
A craigslist seller was selling NA mint in box Amiibo for about $20 each. He has a pretty large list including Rosalina, Ness, Dedede, Meta Knight, etc.
I ended up grabbing a Ness and Marth for $20 each. I would have preferred to buy at retail, but I'm happy to have these in my hands - especially Ness.
I also decided to upgrade my Xbox One hard drive so that I can have all of my games installed at the same time (in case I just want to pop and play).
Sale at Amazon plus a $25 gift cared got a 4TB HD for $85. So far I really love it. And it also increases my load times with games I have played.
If anybody lives in the San Diego area, he may have a few more as the Craigslist ad is still up as of this writing...the link only shoes 3 characters, but after contacting him he gave me a much longer list

Mind sharing the link to the video?

I'm sure there are others - but this is the one I watched

It works pretty close to 100% of the time. I have a few cartridges that NEVER worked before, and they worked almost immediately after I installed mine. Every once in a while you'll get a solid gray screen, but I think that's more an issue of dust on the cartridge. My only gripe is how tight it grips the cartridge. With regular NES carts I have to wiggle the game to loosen it enough to pull it out; however Tengen carts are really tough because you can't grip those as well.
