Pisses me off seeing shit with the Majora's mask Collector's Edition or the PS4 20th Anniversary Edition for recent example. Motherfuckers were reselling the pre-order within minutes of them even being made available -_-
I know right?! I wanted to get my hands on the limited edition of Majora, but it's sold out almost everywhere. I'm going to politely ask my local GameStop and hope they got at least one left. Never have I seen a limited edition get sold out so insanely quick..
TheChristopherize I got lucky, the guy at Gamestop told me about the Majora collection. When I went to the store to buy it, it was sold out. But, the second Gamestop put it on their website, he ordered one for me.
Same thing happened with the Xbox One and PS4. I saw some guy actually sell a PS4 preorder near me for €2500. It only costs €400.

Let's hope I somehow have the same luck you did!
Well said, I went to preorder Majora and they were out. I also wanted a Marth amiibo but no luck. They should really limit collectors editions and stuff to 1 per person.
"WackyWeed420"
OMG FRANCIS
IM DYING
SOUNDS LIKE A 8 YEAR OLD ON XBOX
I heard WakkaWee420
But still lol
"Finding Marth is like trying to find a freaking leprechaun!" I literally laughed till I cried on this one.
"ITS A MATTER OF SIMPLE SUPPLY AND DEMAND. I DEMAND THE DAMN THING, YOU SHOULD SUPPLY IT TO ME!" Francis 2015
XDD I WAS DEAD!! XDD (X.X)
Lmfao ! "I like Kiby because he round " (^_^)
***** Your vids suck.
Hey boy
I hope I can find a Dedede amiibo so he can clober dat dere kirbeh amiibo.(Seriously, i even made all the rest of my amiibo fight him, and he's unstoppable)
Francis, if i had the money i would pay for everything that would make you better. I love you!

6 years later and this is even more relevant today than it was then. It's freaking impossible to get anything even remotely interesting now. Consoles, phones, graphics cards and most tech. It's insane.
Nintendo just announced they will resume production of Marth Amiibos. Joke is on scalpers and the people who paid out the ass for one.
www.gamespot.com/articles/can-t-find-marth-amiibo-nintendo-says-more-coming/1100-6424643/
***** yep, because marth, ike, and Lucina can be used in codename steam. Check out news from today's Nintendo Direct for more info.
***** I would like so too, but not holding my breath :/
GamerNRetro I was lucky. I got my Marth as a Christmas gift. Really lucky.
Yea lets hope this second wave is more than 9 per state. lol.
Any person with a functional brain can see past the scalpers and shit. I personally just feel bad for the parents out there who WILL drop $80 for an Amiibo their kid wants, just because they don't know any better and want to make their kid happy.
Side note: scalpers are pieces of shit, and they know it, they just don't care. Educating people on these scams is essential to stopping them, but that'll never happen. *shrug*
Yeah, like my dad tried being a scalper ONCE. He bought like 5 copies of the original Guitar Hero, as it was the "hot toy" for that year. I got one for Xmas, and he barely sold the rest for face value. Needless to say he never tried it again.
If people teach scalpels that lesson by not buying stuff at an extreme price and just email the company asking for more to be made, you will see the scalping trend die quick.
Chrome Persona Scalping is definitely a learned craft
Amen good sir amen
TroySapienRobot Can you really feel bad though? If they want to spoil their kids let them. And if they have the money to spend, let them spend it. No one needs these items.
I guess I think this way since I'm not a kid but whenever I can't get an amiibo I just move on and hope to find it later. I don't pay extra for it online nor do a fret b/c someone with more time and money than I got something they worked harder to get.
Chrome Persona No, you will see it die when people aren't willing to pay a higher price and when there is enough stock. But people care more about their time and have more money and don't care to spend it. Resellers and scalpers have the time and money to get the items too.
These factors won't ever go away though. Only thing you could do is simply not pay the high price or go out and take the time to get the item. If a seller can get it, with enough work, anyone can.
Good god LMFAO that's exactly how i feel!
This is out of place LOL
Legit was watching you earlier what’s the chances 😂
have a few amiibo figures - generation one sculps are so-so but the new ones look much better
"I wish I had a dad" that made me bust out laughing then kinda sad like ohh that's horrible.
Francis, I found you absolutely hysterical and couldn't stop laughing! Glorified happy meal LOL
LOL "I DEMAND IT SO YOU SUPPLY IT!!" LOL
"I'M GONNA DEMAND THE DAMN THING AND YOU'RE GONNA SUPPLY IT TO ME!!" lol
It seems like your health is better and that means your rages are longer and more heated.I love it!
"FINDING MARTH IS LIKE TRYING TO FIND A FREAKING LEPRECHAUN!"
Why is it so hilarious every time the video ends, Francis says ".....sons a bitches"
i crack up every time XDDDD
import, import, import.
If NoA is unwilling to meet supply and demand, I go to Nintendo of Japan or Europe.
I'll sooner give paying work to international importers, you know real service, as opposed to American Scalpers.
Good thing these things are not region locked.
Saviour_Gundam ikr. I just received Lucina in the mail today. And with wave 5 about to hit, I already know alot of people that already imported all the amiibo from wave 5 currently available. At least this way we can guaranty that we actually get the ones we want. .
+Saviour_Gundam In Britain, no one has heard of scalpers. Literally.
I lost it at "A NORMAL BOY OR GIRL LIKE ME!!!"
I love you boogie, so many keks
this is so incredibly hilarious, I love your work boogie! Especially raging Francis videos, they just crack me up every time xD
"AREN'T YOU THE ONES WHO SAID GOTTA CATCH 'EM ALL" hahaha I'm crying!
All of my feels ever. Collecting vinyl is one of my hobbies and it's exactly the same situation for me. I hate scalpers. They ruin everything just so they can make a quick buck. Thank you Francis for making this video.
"I don't like him because he's a vegetable" ... I lol'd :D
"I don't know if you've been to Gamestop or Walmart Nintendo, but the shelves are EMPTY!"
1:10 I take it back. "I don't like him because he's a vegetable", is my favorite out-of-context line from a youtuber.
Maybe I shouldnt tell Francis that there are about 20 Marths in the store that I work in right now and no one seems to know who he is lol
O_O
"I demand the damn thing, you should supply it to me!"
My sides hurt after that.
Wacky weed 420
"KIDS LIKE ME..." IM DEAD
FRANCIS HAS A GIRLFRIEND! Look! He's got a ring!
Boogie is married -_-
Teknoor A But this is not Boogie. THIS. IS. FRANCIS!
No, this is Patrick
Teknoor A Yes, Boogie is married. That's Francis.
yea i know i specifically said Boogie is married. i never said anything about Francis
0:30 is the funniest thing i have ever seen francis do and that is saying something
you wanna catch them all? you gotta catch your breath first :)
XD
+Bayleigh Britton ok I gotta be honest, that was actually pretty funny, ya made me laugh (which is hard to do btw)
you realize he doesn't really talk like this right?
+Bayleigh Britton BITCH
"I wish I had a dad." I had to pause because I was laughing so hard. Perfect delivery by the way.
Okay, so hear me out here.
I think (I THINK, I do not know) that maybe, just maybe, Boogie and Francis are related.
No way that's crazy
Dude, i will never look at them the same again
LIES, lol yeah i keep teasing him on his streams about doing a Francis is my long lost twin video. Boogie vs Francis rap battle is coming soon
Da fuk now are they related? Try are completely different people.
Boogie is Franis' fake character.
4:45 killed me😂😂😂
I swear to God if they do this shit with the Lucina Amiibo I'm gonna hunt them down!
The gotta catch em all part had me laughing so hard. I feel ya Francis!
I really hope Nintendo releases more of the Majora's Mask New 3DS special systems. I don't even want a New 3DS unless it's that one...
If reselling is the worst thing you have to bitch about, then you lead a pretty charmed life.
turn on the captions and listen to him then compare it to what the captions are saying
loooolll he said a normal boy or a girl like me hahaha thats funny
Where do you keep all of this crap that you collect? Do you have a storage shed that you're renting or something?
***** You must have a lot of shelves, my friend :)
***** house tour vlog one day? It would be interesting.
+boogie2988 i have a question!
trying to find a rare amiibo is like trying to find a leprechaun, riding a unicorn, who is giving a hand job to Santa, while you're getting your genitals waxed by Dracula. it isn't gonna happen unless you got connections, or your blowing the president of Nintendo.
Nintendo actually confirmed that they were gonna be making more marth amiibos. Not diddys, not little macs, they only said marth amiibos because of how popular he is
Spoiler alert for Nintendo direct
its not because of popularity but for the fact that the marth amiibo will unlock marth in code name S.T.E.A.M.
Here's the thing though: I doubt they'll release more of marth from the smash bros. line, they'll probably release a new version of him as part of a new 'code name S.T.E.A.M.' line because they wont want to deal with hundreds of people saying "I bought him for $60, give me $50 back", I could be wrong but that's just a theory
Frame by Frame animation he's a fire emblem character, not sure why he would be associated with codename steam
True, but I mean that because he's in the game. It's kind of like saying why he's in code name STEAM in the first place, once again, just a theory though I could be completely wrong
"YOU ARE RUINING CHRISTMAS!!!!!" 😂😂😂😂😂
I wonder what he would say about the ps5 and Xbox
"Kids like me" hahahaha you're the man
I take it this is a response to mariotehplumber xD
I had to google who the hell that was. Dude seems like a real homophobe and general dunce.
@Tim Gunnar, he is one fuked up guy hahaa
Yeah. He preordered $36K worth of Rosalina amiibos and said that we couldn't do shit about his "incredible genius." Honestly. What he calls genius, I call stupidity. Let's just hope he doesn't buy all the Sonic amiibos just to destroy every single one of them.
"normal boys or girls like me" xD This channel is so funny I love your rage videos xD
Guys, dont be stupid, buy Amiibos from Amazon Europe, there not so expensive there: amzn.to/1wbZImq
I don't speak their language or have their type of currency ;P
Vendinine Hahahaha!
It'd be more expensive for us
NinjaChris77 That's Amazon Germany, not "Amazon Europe". it probably would have been more useful to link Amazon UK since most people here speak English: www.amazon.co.uk/s/ref=nb_sb_noss_1?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=amiibo.
Some of them are still very expensive, but if you really want Captain Falcon or whatever he's the standard Amiibo price
"YOU ARE RUINING CHRISTMAS" HAHAHA
You can't blame the secondary market for a mistake the primary market made lol.
You absolutely can, lol. The secondary market is just making things worse.
TroySapienRobot worse how so? They are just acting as a market correcter. If the item sold for $12 but had a value of $60 they resale at true value. The fact you'd like to buy it at $12 instead of $60 doesn't change that. There are tons of things I'd love to buy 2 to 3 fold under market value lol.
nice excuse to be a douchebag
i died at when he was talking about his amiibo colection
*points at wii fit trainer* " wii u trainer"
*points at marth* "fox"
*points at fox* " marth"
The cheapest way to complete your Amiibo collection is to rob Francis and take all of his rare amiibo XD
4:56 The Smashers are ready to face Francis the "Tabuu" XD
***** Welcome to capitalism... Get rekt
It's also capitalism to go tell those artificial resellers to go fuck themselves. Just wanted everyone to know
mtkillas09 No that's not capitalism that's free speach, moron.
It cracks me up when Francis starts jumping in his seat and his voice gets louder and louder.
What is the point in amiibos?
IT IS NOT A FUCKING TOY!!!
It is suppose to be use for Super Smash Bros. for Wii U. You put it on the game pad and use to train a special CPU that levels and learns from you (U). What the hell people.
Rozen RaLeon Level with you? Its a fighting game, not an RPG. I don't understand.
In regular gameplay, the highest difficulty was level 9; ala Very Hard. So you see, the CPU will learn and become a more formidable opponent to you or others. In other words, it copies your fighting style and is represented like a level. Also, it is stored in the amiibo.
Rozen RaLeon Well I wouldn't go buy a piece of plastic just for that. I would just play smash with my friends.
***** Okay, buttttttt, if you do get one and have one friend that wants to play Team mode, you can use the amiibo as a team mate.
It should be ILLEGAL to scalp I know some locations have limits like 1 type per customer...it's crazy how 90% of the market just resells them online just to make more money...it seems effective but its so unfair for us collectors who just wanna have em...Fine examples are stuff like the Kaos Trap for Skylanders Trap Team and the Dark and Light element expansion packs, I can't find em anywhere in stores!...Even if I see more than 1 "Rare" Figure on the shelf, I leave it there...
Amiibo Wave 3 hits shelves tomorrow, hopefully I can pick up Rosalina and Bowser before the scalpers get em...I also wish you all best of luck too!...Hopefully with the Super Bowl going on, people in my area would be too busy with that instead of hogging up the figures!
Catty Mintgum It really shouldn't be. Free markets aren't a bad thing. It should never be illegal to tell people how to spend their money (and not spend it).
Speak w/ your wallet and don't pay the high price. But than again, those paying these prices aren't caring about the price being high. Just that they are getting what they want.
first.
Sup
We are groot.
(*Breaks into tears*)
Why is Vin Diesal so good at making me cry!?
thanks to this video, I've been inspired to buy 100 copies of a new amiibo seconds after launch just to sell then on ebay for 3 times the price a few weeks later XD
hows that going
well I did go to my local game store.... and there are no more pre-orders avaliable :/
Don't do that plz
I', gonna get a bunch of Breath of the wild amiibo pre-ordered- 10 of each i think.
When Francis uses “frick” before demonetization
Pshhh.... console gamers. Fighting over happy meal toys that cost more than a new video card.
LOL
It's the master race brothers like you that make the whole community look bad.
MarioTGP "throw away in 6 weeks"
Kappa
***** I know right? The funny thing is, $60 will get you a video card that is better than the APU in the XBox One or PS4.
Luieburger Which you can keep for more than 7 years, and it's probably going to be better than the console APUs for a long time.
That "I. Am. Groot." *jumpscene* "We are Groot" made the entire video
LOL! "I don't like him because he's a vegetable" lost it there.
And this is the first time in awhile where I've actually felt that your character Francis was genuinely pissed off... Great job boogie!
"kids like me" LOL, good one
2:25 - 2:32 best use of supply and demand ever. xD
FUCKING DYING AT "gLORiFIED HAPPY MEAL TOY" love you boogie
>making it like normal boys and girls like me can't get our toys
Houston, we have confirmed launch of my sides
Lol did Francis just say "kids like me" 😂 He is a child at heart I guess
I love that video where you almost had a heart attack over the wrong amibo.
He had me at leprechaun
XD
Watching this in 2019 makes me miss the early 2015 amiibo hype and having to pre order to minuet they went on sale.
"A GLORIFIED HAPPY MEAL TOY". it's so fucking true O.O
happy meal*
Lmao nice rant! "You sons a bitches!" Lol gets me every time.
I died when he said Ebay user WackyWeed420 XD
The amiboo scalping is very similar to another (apparently) limited Nintendo item; THE GAMECUBE ADAPTER FOR WII U!
"IT'S AS SIMPLE AS SUPPLY AND DEMAND. I DEMAND THE DAMN THING, YOU SHOULD SUPPLY IT TO ME!" best thing i heard all day
Lol "He'd be like my dad, I wish I had a dad"
My favorite series on youtube. Ever.
"a little girl like me" lol -- Francis I love you!
Some of them are "artificially rare" haha I like that xD
"i wish i had a dad" XDXD i died
"KIDS LIKE ME".....francis cracks me up
PUT THIS ON 1.25 SPEED
NO DIFFERENCE HE IS ONLY MADDER THEN EVER
AMIIBO REMIX CONFIRMED
Keep pressing 8 ... LOL
This is therapeutic. Damn skull kid figure!!!
We are groot had me dead lmao
I laughed so hard when he said we are Groot.
Lol a grown ass man with a lisp raging about toys like a 13 year old.
Boogie you're a comedy genius
This was one of Francis's best rages ever.
Finally good video raising awareness through comedy that's the way to go
It looks like Happy Amiibo Day a Holiday with lots of amiibos
The only thing this video made me aware of was the fact that I should probably look into scalping myself $$$
Here's a solution. Stop buying them from scalpers. Eventually if no one pays scalpers for them they will go down in price or return to store shelves and you will get your money's worth. It's not Nintendo's fault you are too impatient to just wait or too don't monitor the websites they are sold at at least once a day to get your pre-order in before the scalpers.
Whoop whoop under the 301 club! xD
Lmao you're now my 2nd favorite youtuber... just hilarious
Damn that last line killed me. "Trying to find Marth is like looking for a Leprechaun."
