I will say that I find it very, very sad that these systems are already being discounted almost everywhere. But if that's what it takes for Nintendo to move units, then so be it.

Nintendo's been trying really hard. Another sign is that Nintendo signed an exclusive for Monster Hunter games. Two exclusives for the U and 3DS. This game is actually one of the best sellers in Japan. People here don't really know that game but I think mostly because of the difficulty and steep learning curve.



This brown man's a huge fan. It literally sold me both the U and 3DS almost immediately after finding it out. I hope they're doing well in Japan.

I heard that the vita isn't doing well either.

Edit: I hope we're not all here because we all have the same mental disorders.

I still don't agree giving these people crutches but yeah it's there.

Give me my money back.

Well, our various social dysfunctions are a result of the isolation and materialism of society we live in, so whether you're suffering from some kind of clinical psychological disorder, alcoholism or lung cancer, we do benefit from living in a nation with socialized medicine. I don't mind my paltry sum of taxes going toward some of that. They may be geeks, but there but for grace of god, go I, and all that.

Don't get me started on wealth distribution though. Or robot distribution. That's the REAL travesty!

Ouch! I guess something that size, with that price tag, was bound to get nailed by customs, but it's still a drag.

At 80s Toy Expo that just passed (which is run by us TFcon people) had them averaging at 340-360.

So it's possible TFcon will have those #s too.

That GI Joe toys i put on kijiji aren't getting any offers (one person asked if I ship and that I would pay the shipping. Hell.no. Those things are HUGE) so they're being put in our Garage sale. I think a kid around here would enjoy the Sky Striker a ton.

Just got my triple changers from BBTS. Springer's got a peg or two that don't fit all that well, and Blitzwing's shoulder are just infuriating. One side is okay but the paler plastic part that holds the canon and shoulder is warped so one of the shoulder doesn't hold well >< but vehicle mode look a lot more solid than some reviews led me to believe. The jet is particularly cool.
