Random: Husband Buys 36 amiibo To Jokingly Spite Isabelle-Hating Wife At Christmas

People with money are funny.

I remember seeing this months ago

Cue the “rahrahrah old news, NintendoLife SUCKS yet I’m still on here all the damn time!”

@DAHstroy 3 months ago? Yeah, as seen on the source, Nintendosoup.

@RazumikhinPG All about how much you mind being in crushing debt!

@DAHstroy Yeah, this is pretty old, "but its animal crossing and new horizons is almost out!"

Genius! It’s exactly the kind of thing I’d happily pull on my own wife, but she’s a “klutz” at games and she wouldn’t know Isabelle from Tony Hawk.

@RazumikhinPG
He spent $36 on the amiibo. That’s not really a lot of money.

This is love in 2020.

I know I don’t need to read stories like this, but nonetheless I feel like you’d have to know the people for this sort of thing to be interesting. I’m happy they were entertained by it though.

Um...
May i confess ?
I have two identical Isabelle Amiibo. 😅
One was from Isabelle Amiibo, another one was from Amiibo Festival bundle with Digby Amiibo as well.

@RazumikhinPG they were $1 each

@Anti-Matter Those are chump numbers, can't call yourself an Animal Crossing fan till you have atleast 20

$ 1 Amiibos ?
I need to move to a developed country ... today !

@RushDawg @Crockin don't forget to add the hats and the post-its. Although I guess he isn't exactly rich, poor guy couldn't even afford a pair of scissors.

@RazumikhinPG Yeah man $1 amiibo. That Richie Rich, he could obviously solve at least one third world country's hunger but noooo.

Be fair to the guy - This is something i would totally do to my wife as well!

@RazumikhinPG I don't wanna shame anyone living below the poverty line, but this still isn't that much money when you include every component. Like $85 on the high end?

1 buck each? Damn.

How can you hate Isabelle? That’s the really baffling part of this story.

Funny story!.....I know the guys wife and we had a great laugh at his expense!

How can anyone hate the adorable Isabelle?

Totally something my girlfriend and I would do. She already disliked Isabelle enough in New Leaf but now I kick her butt as the pupper in Smash on top of it.

More believable than buying a hundred Rosalina Amiibo. And plenty of pics to back it up.

XD

Such a wicked prank to play, I love it.

I don't hate Isabelle, but dont love her either as never really liked Animal crossing.

But this is funny especially as with buying the Amiibos, little hats and post it notes only cost around $44, so fair play

i feel really bad for the staff of nintendolife forced to come up with article ideas every day in 2020

Guess he counted out how many he'd need for the seasonal wishes/greetings before hand. Wouod have sucked if he had to have a word stuck to the glass. XD

Funnily enough, I could see myself pulling something epic like this on my significant other when/if that happens LOL.

I have never dealt with Isabelle in Animal Crossing, but she is notoriously evil in Mario Kart. 😝

Great prank! ...But what succubus doesn't love Isabelle?!

at least it wasn't rubber ducks

@RazumikhinPG,

They were a $1.00 each, not sure he will be hit that hard in his pocket, the bigger question here is why bother?.

These are Isabelle amiibos in her winter outfit. An Isabelle amiibo in her summer outfit would cost at least as much as he paid for all of these.

There are much easier and cheaper ways to annoy one's wife. Heck, most husbands manage it without even trying.

See I don’t know why dudes always gotta pick on someone. Dude better get comfy on the couch.

@johnvboy yes that was my point all along, thank you.

@Ryu_Niiyama I'm starting to get this mental image in my head of your dream girl:

“On the 36th day of Christmas, my true love bought for me....36 Isabelle amiibos.”

@Savino

More then one.
Bulk usually means 10-12 or more.

Stores don't order 1 by 1, they order in bulk.

"wife"

Yeah sure pal, whatever you say

@RazumikhinPG,

Was not having a go at you, and to be fair it's more the effort and time rather than the money.

@johnvboy no I was being serious. My point was what you said, about the effort. If he had more important things to do with his money (and life) he probably wouldn't bother with this. "Oh my wife doesn't like Isabelle? Let me buy a sh*t ton of stuff just to make a joke".

Wonder what he's going to do with all those Amiibos too? Resell them on eBay for insane prices? Lol

@KitsuneNight "Bulk usually means 10-12 or more."

And to make things even more confusing, 12 of something is also referred to as a "gross".

@RushDawg Sometime that usually could be a three pack of Amiibo just 3 or hard to find one Amiibo.

@RazumikhinPG You could make some custom Amiibo with all those.

@RazumikhinPG,

You have to think he could turn a profit on these, considering their low price.

Thanks for posting this months later than everyone else. Just like mighty no 9., Better late than never :/

Well if they were $1/piece and he sells them again he be scalping big time in return.

@Mountain_Man

Isn't a gross 144 ?
And a dozen for 12 ?

@KitsuneNight Maybe it differs by country, but in the US, a gross refers to 12. But so does the term "dozen". And then you have "baker's dozen" which refers to 13 of something!

@TioRogerio É você, Roger meteoro de pegaso?

He's going to need a lot of mason jars...

Joke's on him when he finds out the kid ain't his.

@Mountain_Man A gross is 144, twelve dozen.

Hating Isabelle is a crime against nature. Clearly this Vera person is pure, unmitigated, unrestrained, unfathomable EVIL!

Imagine having such trash taste in characters, being a yiffer, AND buying physical DLC. Atrocious!

A baker’s gross is 169...

@FlashBoomerang Meteoro de pégaso ? Vixi ... acho que eu não sou o mesmo Roger que você deve estar pensando .. mas uso esse nick há uns oito anos (Tio Roger ou Tio Rogerio ) na nintendo network

I abandoned the United States to avoid the infantile people that pass for adults there.

Seems like all of the Animal Crossing amiibo are now going up in price, so this actually turned out to be a decent investment.

@johnvboy Why bother? It's a sweet little prank to his wife that she will remember for the rest of her life, and with each remembrance will bring a smile to her face. How do people not get this?

@Nehalem,

Not everybody has to get it, and I thought the idea was to wind up his wife because she did not like Isabelle, so probably not the best thing to remember, as you put it, "for the rest of her life".

@johnvboy Ha, perhaps other people have different relationships with their wife's but I can easily see me doing something to this effect on my wife, and she would have loved it (we tease each other a lot about our foibles and things that only we know about the other). I just have a hard time seeing this as any other way.

@Nehalem,

Fair enough, I suppose, but if I bought the other half a lot of something she did not like, then I doubt I would be in her good books.

@johnvboy Oh good point, if this is all he got then that is not great. Did I miss that?

@RazumikhinPG Yeah, this "high roller" spent $36 plus tax. That's big time there.

@tseliot Yeah mate that's crazy.

Geez. She costs $5.00 per figure where I live.
