Topic: Splatoon - OT

@ELI-ASH: Ah ok, that sounds interesting, thanks.

wow the splatoon run was basically flawless. Tones was only a few seconds behind from breaking his own world record.

@ELI-ASH: I'm always amazed at how many games they play that I've never heard of.

Anyone here want to squad up? I'd like to try Splat Zones without the risk of losing my S Rank again...

Ok so since DaGreen and me are planning to do a video, I searched again for Splatoon merchandise and decided to buy some since it's my birthday soon. So I definitely have to buy a water pistol, a separate backpack tank, an Inkling hat (the official Nintendo merchandise or one from Etsy) and at least one or more t-shirts (probably from teepublic or redbubble or maybe selfmade).
But I'm still unsure which items exactly to order, since I probably will have to get everything except the the backpack tank from the US (which makes everything more expensive because of shipping + customs fee). While the official hat regularly costs 10 pounds (=13 Euro) in the Nintendo UK shop, where I can only order to a british adress, if I order the official hat from ebay (US), it costs 53,50$ (= 49 Euro) incuding shipping and customs fee. And somehow I'd really like to have the official merchandise instead of the ones from Etsy which are still pretty pricy too (depending on the quality 26, 37 or 43 Euro).

I know this is a lot to ask, but would anyone of you from the UK (like @TheXReturns @crimsontadpoles @Jazzer94 or
@DreamyViridi for example) be be so kind to help me? I would just need someone to order the hat to and then kindly ask that person to send it to me via post, of course I would send you the shipping fee + a little extra (as a thank you ) upfront with Paypal. If you should also want to buy something from the Nintendo UK shop, even better, then we can order there together.
Any help would be much appreciated!

I got a similar problem with the Water Gun, only the price difference here is not so big. Although it's an exclusive from Target, you can't buy it at theirshop anymore, where it was 13$ once. But Amazon.com still has it for 14$. I don't know how much regular shipment to Germany would cost, so I'm not sure how much cheaper it would be than buying it directly on ebay (35$ = 32 Euros). So although it's pretty expensive for a Water Pistol that originally was a free gift, I guess I just have to bite the bullet and order it f rom Ebay.

@Blue_Blur: You wrote you have this hat, does it have inner lining or even pockets (like another one on Etsy does)? And one of the reviews on the Etsy page said it has these small "suckers", could you maybe make a photo of that? Thanks in advance!
@LztheQuack: Does the official hat have inner lining?

@shani: Sure, I'd be willing to order that hat and post it to you.

@crimsontadpoles: Yeah? That would be awesome, thank you!
Ok where should we exchange adresses (and your paypal adress), Miiverse?

@shani: there's no way to private message on miiverse, is there? I'd be happy to post addresses here using @ so we get an email, then instantly delete the message.

@crimsontadpoles: Sure there is! I'll write you a private message on Miiverse. But exchanging email adresses here would be fine, too.

EDIT: Just sent you a private message on Miiverse, containing my email adress since that's more convenient for both of us.

I feel like we're all going to start doing Splatoon videos eventually, har har.

@MasterWario: i noticed Iji on the schedule. Thats a really fun freeware game.

@shani: Actually, the pictures on the website showcase the product perfectly. I'm not set up to post a picture online; but I can describe the hat to answer your questions!
1) The hat doesn't have inner lining, it's just the felt material that the hat is made out of. The inside and back of the hat are white.
2) The hat doesn't have any pockets.
3) I'm not exactly sure what small "suckers" means, but I'm going to assume the reviewer is talking about the white spots at the bottom of the tentacles. The white spots look like they were ironed on, and don't peel or flake off when touched.

@Blue_Blur: Thanks for your answers! The one for 37 Euros actually has inner lining or pockets (you can choose between the two); but looks like I'll get the official hat now thanks to @crimsontadpoles.

I'm not 100% sure but I think the review (of the hat you got) mentioning "suckers" is meaning these round things: http://s1162.photobucket.com/user/amongbobbinsandthread/media...
The review from Rebecca Mayes actually says "Great quality and color. Small "suckers" are well made. My daughter loves it!".

Anybody for a twin or quad squad?

Squad anyone?

@Jazzer94 I'm up for it, though maybe in 10-20 minutes since I'm heating up some pizza slices first.

@Iggly: cool.

@Jazzer94 I'm ready so you can start the room.

@Iggly: Sorry was in a conversation with a flatmate, opening a room now.

@Iggly: Nobody in squads
