I'll probably buy one or two.

And then it will spiral completely out of hand.

I take it they're not doing any triple packs a la Skylanders then?

I have to remember. In 10 years these will be junk, and I'm currently clearing through a lot of junk. I don't have room for a bunch of ornaments, but I wouldn't mind one or two.....

I've absolutely no intention of buying SSB but I still want a Yoshi. I think I need to seek treatment.

Way too expensive. Aren't they like $12 in the states?

What? The ones in the states work out about £8. Actually amazed they kept the price as low as they did. £9.99 would have been the sweet spot.

Not sure why Nintendo put it over the £10 mark and into double digits. Should have gone for a nice round £9 to make them seem cheaper.

I don't think I'm going to start collecting these, because there's no way I can own or display Wii Fit trainer in my house.

$12.99 + UK VAT = $15.59 ~ £9.50

So yeah they are more expensive here but not by a ridiculously large amount.

Marth does not look mega girly and I'm not a fan of his pose.
