F.Z.Z.T. was probably my favorite episode so far. From thinking the show actually started off pretty weak, this was a very marked improvement for me.

The 3DS not having WPA compatibility infuriates me.

I hate you.

Huh, I'm pleasantly surprised. I fully expected him to be replaced by Lucina.

This isn't a Pokémon contest, though. If you want that, go vote in the massive polls Dorkly is hosting right now. It's a Nintendo contest, and in my opinion Pokémon is simply way overrepresented in this bracket.

Nothing is wrong with them... except they shouldn't be here. There's no real reason they should have gotten into the bracket over a more diverse list of characters other than the people voting on them generally only know Pokémon. I freely admit I've not played as many Nintendo titles as I should have, yet I recognize there were much better choices.

I read a two paragraph summary of The Search...

 

I was intrigued by what I read, but I really feel it's something I need to read first-hand. A friend I talked to earlier had the exact same thing told to him (read it yourself) when inquiring about it.

 

Now if only I was into buying comics/graphic novels...

Can't believe we have freaking Cyndaquil, Goomy (stupid current memes), and Giratina in this...

Samus
Link
Cynthia
Ghirahim (gosh darnit why are both here... seeding totally should've paired one up with the Pokémon to kick them out right away)
Meta Knight
Ridley
Kirby
Wolf
Majora
Hades
Red
N
Fox
Dedede
Looker
Bowser

 

These counted, still need to count everything below.

Gah, I need this yellow hoodie to be in stock in a boutique when I remember to check those out!

Don't let Goomy in. Seriously, don't. Also probably should've required them be actual characters since this list is bloated with Pokémon (which could've had exceptions like Mewtwo, Pikachu, and Meowth for actually having some characterization thanks to the anime). I've never even played one of the games and yet I'm disappointed Fire Emblem isn't represented here.

 

Pit

N

Ghirahim

Bowser

Luigi

Kirby

I am adorable and I love it.

 

(Seriously, Tyrunt is the best.)

Unfortunately, due to licensing issues, the Pokémon D-Arts are only available at MSRP on Japanese retail sites. That is, without ridiculous markups. Otherwise you can try BigBadToyStore or even Amazon, but you will generally be paying more even after shipping from Japan is factored in.

 

So I'd point you instead towards AmiAmi, Hobby Search, and HobbyLink Japan (although the latter is quickly losing its reputation due to overselling preorders and cancelling a lot) or even Mandarake for second-hand purchases. On AmiAmi, which is probably the cheapest place you'll find them if you manage to get in on the preorders - which quickly fill up within hours - they're slightly below 3000 yen. If not, stalking Mandarake after release isn't a bad idea. I'd compare it to eBay, except it's actually for collectors so things are in good condition and described generally well, they have actual physical store fronts in Japan (which means stuff can be sold there even after you place your online order), and prices can be terrific.

 

That's assuming Lucario will get a retail release like the previous Pokémon, but that does seem likely. But you never know and he could go the way of a Tamashii Web Shop Exclusive, which is a whole lot more work to get ahold of then...

Natural Harmonia "N" Gropius (Pokémon)

Bowser (Mario)

...

 

Yeah can't think of anyone else I'd want in that hasn't been mentioned.

I still want that figma Samus... and Pit. And dark Pit. Maybe link.

I've got Samus on the way right now. She and Link were just rereleased.

I wish I could get online to trade my Polar for your High Plains.

 

Also still no Shinies here... I know people on campus who have found nearly a dozen in this one game. It's getting ridiculous with them.

If it's this weekend... Yeah, going back to school so actually need sleep.

Wait a minute. Those ghasts have cheese slopes connected upside-down AND a tile on top. If the plate or brick is a new SNOT piece this is going to be revolutionary.

 

Edit: Wait, we already have upside-down 2x2 tiles. Darn it.

I didn't realize the Ghasts were 2x2, but yeah it makes sense that they are and does indeed mean that's not a new piece (but will be my first set with them heh).

 

I like how the description for the Nether set states that there are 32 micromobs included. Probably a typo, but I would love to have a LEGO pigman swarm.

Oh man, didn't even notice that. That wooould be cool, but is most unlikely.

The horror...

Whoops. I was half-asleep when I watched that one so did forget haha (and it was literally exactly like the manga chapter, so wasn't keeping me too interested since I zipped through that just a few days ago and it was still fresh in my mind).

That thing's STILL IN STOCK?!

 

Wow.

 

For an SDCC exclusive, it really did NOT sell... The Derpy last year didn't last that long at all.

I know that feeling...

Wut.

 

That's an incredible steal.

Metroplex heeds the call of the last Prime.

 

Very, very nice.

I smiled like a complete fool when I finally got to that voice clip. :3

Meh, at least people got you to try.

 

They've been utterly unsuccessful with me; just don't want to bother with it ever.

Do you not hate this person?

 

Let them know.

 

No?

 

Never respond ever.
