So, GameStop pissed me off to no end yesterday (Trains knows of this since I kept sending him SnapChats about it)

I pre-ordered Ike and Toon Link amiibos a long time ago when you were able to. Both were amiibos I really wanted, so of course I wanted first dibs.

The shop called me to inform me that Toony was available for pick up. So I went and got him on Thursday. I asked the associate if Ike was released yet and he said he wasn't. So I continued to wait for a call. Maybe he was just a little late, I supposed.

Then, yesterday, because I was at the mall anyways, I went to the shop to buy Bowser and checked in on Ike again. The lady who worked there told me he didn't show up in the new system (She was kind of new), so the manager pulled up the old one and Ike was listed in it. Then he told me that Ike was already released and SOLD OUT.

I was fucking upset. The Fire Emblem Amiibos were my top priority of all of them and I lost him. They NEVER called me for him. How the fuck was I supposed to know he came already?! But since the manager was a nice guy, he transfered my $10 deposit on Ike towards my purchase for Bowser, which I'm glad the money isn't wasted, but this was just so fucking annoying. I don't blame the people who was helping me. I blamed whoever the fuck was responsible for calling people who preordered their items!

So as a big middle finger of "FUCK YOU" to GameStop, for having an irresponsible employee, I went and bought him on Amazon. I bought a JAPANESE IKE for $12 more than I could have paid at GameStop. Yes, I'm that frickin crazy enough to willingly buy an amiibo for more than it should cost WITHOUT a damn gift card. I was THAT pissed. The upside is, Ike is the cheapest Amiibo I ever bought on Amazon without a gift card. Marth was still like $20 with a gift card and Villager was $18 with a gift card. Ike is the first one I ever bought without a gift card and he's been put up as a very cheap price (Marth originally being around $60 and Villager around $60 as well)
