Man buys Rosalina amiibo's out of spite

Cutting out the most relevant parts:
In an interview with Nintendo Nuggets, a collector of vintage Nintendo items who goes by both "Daily Dose" and "Mariotehplumber" revealed that he's pre-ordered more than a hundred Rosalina & Luma amiibo -- all because he really, really dislikes the character. "I do not appreciate Rosalina appearing in almost every recent Mario game to date. The fact Nintendo promotes her so much and people praise her is just disgusting," he said.

Daily Dose continued "I hate her fans, too. I know for a fact her amiibo will be among one of the most popular, which is why I took the time to wait and pre-order over 100 of her. I do not want her fans to be happy... It just crushes me Nintendo from the good days went to this shit for character designs."

While it seems excessive, it's just a fraction of the amount of money Daily Dose claims to have committed to amiibo. He says that he has already spent more than $4,000, and that he has an additional $35,000 to invest on the figurines. Of those funds, he states that he intends to spend heavily on Lucina, Palutena, Robin, and Zero Suit Samus -- all out of a similar hatred and disdain that he has for Rosalina.

Maybe it's just me, but it really sounds like this guy has a stick up his ass for any kind of character design that could be (even loosely) described as fanservice. Regardless of his reasoning though, he's definitely an ass.

What a freakin' knob.

Seriously, how petty can you get? I wish I had the money to piss away on a stupid crusade like this.

Not to mention that all he's doing is giving Nintendo sales. Let me demonstrate my hate for this character by buying up their merchandise! That's a good plan.

Just what I was gonna say. It saddens me that people this stupid can acquire this much money to burn. I mean that is like tossing-cigarette-butts-on-your-living-room-floor level of stupid.

"Please consider visiting my ebay store for your very own Rosalina amiibo!"

He probably didn't acquire it. More like trust fund baby'd it.

Whatever. Not even a drop in the bucket as far as the global market price for that Amiibo.

This....just makes no sense

Wait....so Tanooki bought up all the Rosalina Amiibos?!

If I had the kinda money to throw around that this guy does, I'd buy the VGA graded Stadium Events on eBay, and then make an extensive video on Youtube cracking open that stupid acrylic case, ripping the sealed plastic off the box, cracking it open and playing it in my NES. $100,000 is a hefty amount to spend for the privilege, but it would make one hell of a statement for years to come about actual stupidity in the gaming community.

Purchasing a few amiibo does nothing -- they're a total waste of money in every regard.

This talk should totally be going in the amiibo section, but they aren't a total waste of money if people find value and entertainment out of it. There have been Amiibo tournaments that bring people genuine excitement. I can't say it is a waste of money if a large group of people love them and find purpose to them.

Total waste of money to you, sure, but for a lot of people they make something out of it.
