It started innocent enough, with just a Link, Pikachu and Villager at release, which represent my favourite Nintendo franchises.
Then the other Pok?mon and Zelda amiibo followed (“I NEED that Charizard!“)... then all of Fire Emblem (“there are FINALLY FE figures?! YES, PLEASE.“)... then all the wool and retro characters (“ERMAHGERD IT‘S SO CUTE AND FLUFFEH!“)... then the Animal Crossing figures... and cards (“Need... all the... AC stuff...!“). And the odd amiibo here and there, whenever they went on sale (amiibo sold quite poorly where I live (rural area where no one knows what a “Nintendo“, let alone an amiibo, is) and went on clearance often because of that).
After that, I got the Monster Hunter Stories amiibo from Japan, because they are way too cool to miss out on - and at this point I was pretty much like: “... Whatever, now I might as well grab ‘em all”. I have no idea how I got myself this deep into this madness or how I‘ll ever get back out, but here I am, haha.
