Gahh if I wasn't about to buy a New 3DS XL I might have taken that Twin off your hands.

I'm so pissed about that majora's mask bullshit. Nintendo has really been underestimating demand. Pre-orders at gamestop ran out within an hour

[L___E___T]

We're talking low numbers though, deliberately low to artificially generate more demand.  Still low numbers though so bound to run out fast.

Right. But is it not more profitable to increase production to about.... maybe a reasonable quantity?

[L___E___T]

I'm the short term yes.  In the long term no.

[famiac]

You think they'd sit on shelves for a while otherwise?

Also, bump: added super wild card dx2
Sold

No I think Nintendo is trying to establish them as a must have and with multiple figures.  They're historically great at establishing 'gotta have that toy' type trends and I think they're hoping people will try and get them all, especially if there's rarity - but it's a bubble that can burst.

Nice to see a modded offering their services here.  We had Drakon before, luckily for us he preys elsewhere now.

Ah cool. You must have better knowledge of the economics, since you work in the indurstry.
Hey, thanks. I also won't overcharge, be an asshole, and create hot glue bukkakes for my customers.

"Won't create hot glue bukkakes for my customers"
I love the way you worded that. Classic.

You know what pisses ME off? The general shortage of Gamecube controller adapters for Wii U coupled with this tweet: https://twitter.com/Gaming_Gen/status/558871022985027584/photo/1



And another from the same account:
