Topic: Too old to have Amiibo?

@Anti-Matter I'm pretty sure it was joke, just calm down!

I’m not far behind you. I’m 32 and I own every single one. I’m not ashamed, until I think about how much money I spent.

@thesilverbrick : Same here. I dread to know how much I have spent (and will continue to spend) on my plastic (and woolly) children.

Some of us collect the Amiibo line series and that cost a pretty penny to do so as well. But as you said they collect for varied reasons.

Some learn the hard way here.

That's what I would say also.

Actually I think that is cool too LEGO has appeal for all age try making those huge LEGO figures that you see being displayed and ask yourself can you meet the challenge.

I on the same page with both of you upper 40's and still love gaming it's something that challenges me to best my Nephews whom can play more since they have more free time...that sucks for us older Gamers. But if you don't want them send them over to me as well just like Likethepear said.

@Silly_G I’m glad I’m not alone, haha. And I’m set to spend another untold fortune on the new Smash characters. I am praying that they don’t rerelease the whole series with updated poses for the old characters to match the new artwork. I wouldn’t be able to stop myself from buying them all again.

@thesilverbrick I'm pretty sure they said only new characters are getting new amiibo and the old ones will be restocked at a slightly lower price

@Kimyonaakuma I sure hope so. I wouldn’t mind updated versions of Link, Zelda and Ganondorf to match their overhauled redesigns, but the other characters really don’t need any updating.

Amiibos are for babies. I myself am 3 years old and I decided earlier this year to give up on them : I sold my collection and gave the money to charity. I felt like it was the right thing to do and I encourage everyone to follow my example. Yet, I consider tolerance to be of the utter importance and wouldn't judge any of my peers or their choices. Therefore I would advocate for you to do as you please !

That's alot of wishful thinking but I suspect they will go for MSRP when they were first released. As the new release will be as announced lately on various Amiibo chats but no new poses maybe a New Peach or Daisy but that seems about the newest that those will be as far as rumors go so far.

These aren't part of the SSB collection so you'll be doing alot of Amazon, eBay looking for these Amiibos unless you find them at your local retailer shelves.

@SwitchForce I think you misunderstood me. I’m hoping they make SSB series amiibo for the updated redesigns of Link, Zelda and Ganondorf. Ones with the black and gold Smash logo base featuring their looks from Breath of the Wild, A Link to the Past and Ocarina of Time, respectively. They are the only three returning characters who look radically different than they did in Smash 4 and could use updated Smash amiibo.

I don't think I am too old to have amibo

@thesilverbrick Nothing wrong with release of Amiibos but for SSB Game release - Zelda versions aren't in the collection series. But if they make knew Amiibos I think Amiibos collectors/buyers are going to go broke again.

Lol I bought my 57 year-old dad a wedding Bowser Amiibo for Christmas last year. He's not a gamer, incapable of playing anything more complicated than Space Invaders, but he loves Bowser and thought it was a great gift. Hoping to get him a Bowser Jr. to go with it this year lol.

@Euler you have to remember they are saying that but secretly behind out backs buying and selling Amiibo at scalping prices. That's why they say what they say so others don't find out.

@stuie1234 It's not a matter of age. So long as you take care or your requirements first, like paying your bills and feeding your kids, what you do with your money is totally up to you.

I don't we would be having this discussion if Nintendo actually made Amiibo more useful than unlocking a special costume.

@Trajan this is what a narcissist would say. People collect all sorts of things but Amiibo has value and uses so since you already failed to see that combo as your reply only attacks rather then understand. If you want to reverse ask why are you on this site you consider a kid site then.

So what ?!
Who cares what they said ?

I don't personally see them as kids "toys". What kid will want a fragile statuette without any kind of interesting function or articulation to play.
