WW was the first game that I'd ever played that didn't have a linear story, so it was pretty hard to beat the game since it didn't tell you exactly where you needed to go.

Hmm..well, Breath of the Wild does have significantly more warp points. Each Shrine becomes one (there's over 100), and each Shiekah Tower becomes one (there's at least . You have to find them obviously but it helps shrink the world a little. I still prefer wasting time running from place to place or riding a horse just to see what hijinx I get into along the way. The quest system also lets you know what you are supposed to do, end goal wise, and becomes populated with side-quest and additional main quest elements along the way.

Ok so yeah, $60 and then $20 for the DLC is a good amount of robits. Not to mention wanting to buy the amiibo for fun items!! ALL THE AMIIIIIIIIBOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

That's good to know.

I actually have enough money to buy it right now, but I haven't for 2 reasons:
1. My brother is asking for the Switch for his birthday, and that isn't until June I'm unable to get the Switch until June, and I guarantee that if I had $60 sitting around for three months, I'd have been tempted and bought a plastic robit within a month, and I'd no longer have enough for it.

2. That $60 is currently saved for RiD2015 Skywarp, TLK Steelbane, and TLK Scorn anyway.

Not to mention wanting to buy the amiibo for fun items!! ALL THE AMIIIIIIIIBOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

For the most part, I'm not too interested in amiibo, but I did buy SSB4 Toon Link and Luigi, along with the WW 2-pack.

Question: these BOTW Amiibo bonus', from the Zelda Amiibo's prior to BOTW, can you ONLY get that game content through them?

I ask because when I play Zelda's I'm a completionist. And I have every Zelda Amiibo to date, but they're all sealed and I ain't opening them. So if I need an entire second set just to complete (like 100% I mean) BOTW........ that'll suck

Cram says yes. A Game Stop employee I talked to also said yes.
BUT, I think that's gotta be bull shirt. The only way to get Epona is with an amiibo? Link's legendary horse? That's been in every game since OoT? I just can't see them doing this. There HAS to be another way to get Epona. That would be like having to use an amiibo to get the Hylian shield, or the Master Sword for Dyn's sake!

I'm fairly certain there IS a way to get the bonus weapons, but I'm not too sure about the game specific costumes..Epona showed up the first time I scanned the SSB Link, I've picked up the original clothing set from 8 bit Link, the Wind Waker set from Toon Link, and I think the Twilight set from SSB Link too.

Also, I'll be 40 before I even 90% this game, so good luck with 100% Shaj

I guess that's more "at the rate I'm playing, I'll be 40"

There's an insane amount to do. All the sparkly things that catch your eye whilst running through the fields of the Hylian region. Continent. Island. Penninsula. I dunno, it's a big patch of earth.

So, in other news, this came in the mail from the good folks at ToyHax. I noticed that some others were getting them, and I hoped I would too, and I did!!


And another set of goodies arrived! My buddy carytheone and I did a label swap, I had a set he wanted, he had a set I wanted. Both for figures we didn't have anyway so it made sense!





Panel gaps drive me nuts on this guy. Stupid earth mode space car!! But daaaaaaaaaaaang he be sparkly!!




Ever so slightly the increase in ground clearance!!! You can also see I've yet to put the chrome wheel stickers on the rear wheels.



Woooooooooooooo!! Now to order more....!!

Sorry, I don't hear anything about stickers or BOTW.... I'm just still stunned about how sleek that car mode is. Almost erotic.

As much as I love MTMTE Rodimus (and MMC's upcoming rendition), that MP Hot Rod is flippin' HAWT.

I'd totally park him with fave vehicles.

Where IS your MP Hot Rodimus?! Everyone should have him. Even though lots of people don't like him. I think he's awesome.

Dang it Masterpiece Transformers.........

Man. So many Rods.

I got a clean one at work.
I got a clean one at home.
I wanna get another one just for Repro'ing.
And I wanna get another one for the Rod Roddy Prime head from the Velocitron set.

I love that figure

Where's Takara's already??
And like, all the other new ones? We got 2 or more Waves of TR on the shelves and Takara hasn't shown us anything in a while besides Trypticon. Show your hand already!!

Isn't the deal with Taks line is that with the current numbering system, Trippy is the last for a while?

Well yeah, but am I the only one who finds it odd that we haven't seen Takara's versions of Wave 3 & 4 yet?

Like, nothings even been solicited yet.

I'd assume it hasn't been, but very odd indeed as they normally release every mold in some form or another.

Rodimus is on my Want list, Cram! Only TR Hot Rod....still haven't decided which version of Rodimus I want most.....probably DX9's Carry or MMC's Calidus. :p

I still really want that DX9 Carry!! I think my few complaints are his hands being black instead of gray, his wheels not being silver, and the fact that they didn't try to get the MP10 Matrix of Leadership to fit. He looks exactly how I want Rodimus Prime to look so that's awesome. Someday...

now you will buy one

So the other day I was on my daily Pokéwalk and walked by a church thrift store that I've yet to go in. Outside, they have a "free" bin. So, in an effort to make WJ88 proud, I peeked inside and found these.


Not bad for free!! Just gotta clean them up. I hope this doesn't start a new "desk toy" trend for me..!

Saturday, whilst out and about, I stopped by TRU in search of the Velocitron set. Found this guy instead.
