I Has A Dilemma


Bundalings

342 views

I has a problem.

Should I

1) Try to get the Sandcrawler now, for $99.98 with free shipping.

2) Get Pokemon Pearl and a DS for approx. $165 and risk Lego selling out of the Sandcrawler.

If the Sandcrawler did sell out, all would not be lost. I'd just have to get it from eBay or elsewhere for $10-$15 more, + shipping.

Indeed I do want Pokemon more right now, but I want to get both before the year is over. I just don't want to risk Lego selling out of the Sandcrawler... which has thankfully gone off of their Top Sellers list after a couple weeks of hangin'.

Currently I have just over $30 towards whichever one I so choose.

So, uh... advice?

Something with a cheaper price tag?

 

I'm also sure you have better things to do with your time (like Lego) (or, dare I say it, camping) than play video games.

I say Sandcrawler first, but that's just me. Getting Pokemon first is more ideal IMO, but it's less practical. You could always buy Sandcrawler off the internet, but I dunno.

 

If you buy the DS and Pokemon later, go to Gamestop. Buy a used set. Also, the longer you wait, the higher chance you have of the prices going down, what with the DSi coming out in a few months.

I play video games already, this would just be a different one.

 

To each his own.

K about the Sandcrawler. I'll keep thinking until I have enough money for it.

 

I dunno... I'd rather get stuff new. Warranties and all... and I was looking online and their used systems are only like ten bucks cheaper.

Hmm true. It's still $10, though. The games are prolly going to be about $5 less, but pretty much the same condition. I'd at least buy the game used, if I were you.

I love how the internet has shortened "probably."

Get the Sandcrawler first and wait for Platinum to come out instead of Pearl.

I second that. Platinum apparently has way more features than Diamond/Pearl, and is better overall. And I wouldn't risk having to pay more over the internet for the sandcrawler.

Do what he said although I don't even play Pokemon.

Pokemon will take over your life, but it'll be fun.

 

Sandcrawler will be incredibly huge and not as great without other SW sets, but a mine of pieces and awesomeness.

 

It's a tough one.

 

But unless you're obsessed with awesome graphics, I'm pretty sure all the Pokemon games are essentially the same. Unless you have Wi-fi. =\

I reeeeally don't want to wait six months to a year for Platinum. If it's that much better I'll just trade Pearl in for it when it comes out.

I'd get the Sandcrawler (It's on Amazon for $115 w/ free shipping ;) ).

Oh, nice. Price drop. Only $15 more than Lego's now...

Unless you have Wi-fi. =\

If that means Wireless Internet then yes, I do.

 

And I've decided to not worry about anything now... I'll just decide which to get when I have the money. Likely Lego will sell out before I do, so this might be a non-issue...

Even though you've made up your mind, I suggest the Sandcrawler. It has infinitely many more uses and has some amazing parts. You could always MAKE a Pokemon out of it. :P

If you have Wi-Fi, then Diamond/Pearl are a little bit different than the old games... But yeah, you're pretty much always gonna be able to get a DS and Pokemon. Sandcrawlers are Hard To Find!, or something like that.
