Me too, I bought it when it was like 20 bucks last year.

Games alright, I only played like an hour but I didn't hate it just got more involved in other shit.

Also, if anyone cares, Best Buy is now apparently selling them online for 8 bucks free shipping. The Arwing toy is pretty cool to be fair.

Watched that a hot minute ago

Good video, Arlo is silly

In Australia we use "Muppet" as a synonym for "idiot", so the title reads well either way. It's much better knowing it's talking about an actual Muppet, though.

It really is crazy how cheap they are

He's 100% right that if Nintendo made these, they'd be going for 20+ bucks a pop and that's JUST for the toy, and yet the game is also included (which is like 30-60 bucks itself)
O_o

case in point: I paid 30 bucks for my Arwing pack and it says "was: $74.99"

and now they're only 10 bucks? criminy...

Bought two off Amaxon $10 a piece a few weeks ago. One is being gifted to my nephew for Christmas. It's a pretty solid deal tbh. Why buy 20 though lmao it's not like its Nintendoland
---

8 fucking dollars? Like, it's a decent game from what I've seen. That's the most "why not?" price I've ever seen.

Like some folks in the comments, I was expecting this to end with some kind of giveaway raffle announcement, but then it didn't. Though like others in the comments pointed out, if he did that he'd be blowing more money on shipping than he did buying the damn things in the first place.

doesn't make sense to do a giveaway when the game isn't a success

Personally I like the idea of an Arwing fleet

Just bought one because why the fuck not. I spend more putting guac on my burrito at Chipotle.

Not only that, but they'd probably not make nearly enough supply to meet the demand, where as these seem to be fucking *everywhere*.

It really makes me wonder if Ubisoft really overproduced these things or if it really sold *that* bad. I know it didn't sell enough to keep the whole toy aspect going, but I thought it sold enough that they kept going with digital downloads and stuff. Even more, I thought it sold the most on the Switch, but it always seems to be a massive glut of Switch copies are what is left.

oh yeah, Nintendo never makes enough of anything

well, the Animal Crossing amiibo tend to clog the shelves
