So I downloaded this on my Switch console as well (still keeping my phone version logged in every day to get those rewards but you can't transfer data between the two versions).

If any spots in your team become available, Pokeyonekenobie, please let me know! I'm actively playing on the Switch version now.

So, the UK appear to have some of these in stock on Amazon!

....Bad news is, they only stock Breakout Beasts (waves 2 & 3). No Crystal Creatures at all, unless you pay high imported prices (£24 for one). I might buy a couple of season 3, since they're the cheapest at £6.80. Looks like they're sellers too, so I wouldn't be surprised if they're excess stock from the US (which happens often).

I have found out that France sell Crystal Creatures - Picwictoys have them in stock, but don't list a wave, so I'm guessing it's the first? Maybe when things return to normal, I can try visiting their Calais branch the next time I'm over there.

I don't have any of my pieces with me right now, but I'll share pics when I can. Love the pics you've taken!
I will curse Toy Story 4 until the day it is declared non-canon. Breaking design continuity by turning Bo's sheep into Shawn clones is dumb, but that's just the rotten cherry on top of my biggest problems with it... undermining the happy ending of the third movie (and, for that matter, what the shorts and specials showed) is unforgiveable, as is sundering the fellowship. I can't watch the ending of Toy Story 2  or 3 anymore without rage at the fourth film boiling up in me...
Just in case I need the spoiler tag

The worst part for me is that he just leaves Bonnie? He sticks by Andy's side through everything, even when he gives away Bo, and now we're expected to believe that Woody just leaves like that?
Bonnie would be probably be heartbroken when she realizes he's missing. Especially after she fell in love with him at one stage. Kids swap between their toys all the time, that was pretty much what the first movie taught us (when Andy lost both Buzz/Woody, he realized how much he still treasured Woody too). Guess Woody's just gonna forget that ever happened.

But eh, anyway. One toy I really want (but never saw in stores around me) is the Toy Story that Time Forgot Raptorian Guard figure. I'm not exagerrating when I say that I found the entire line for sale, but always that one figure was out of stock. Rows of figures, but no Raptor.

I haven't watched TS4 for the same reason... I still think that the third movie was the best possible way to end the series, the fourth one is just.... Eh.

I'm planning on selling some of my older Toy Story toys (space issues), but I'll be keeping the ones I'm fond of, such as my 2 Woody dolls (one accurate, one not so accurate) and Buzz figures. Anything Slinky Dog stays with me though, love that guy!

That box is pretty cool. Did they ever release a Buzz toy with a box like that?

Same. Although I can't be too much of a hypocrite, I admit I didn't open a few for a while...

That said, I'm trying to play at least once a day again, so I'll try my best to open gifts and send as many as I can back out. I'm just kinda spoiled by Jurassic World Alive and the sheer number of PokeStop equivalents outside my house :P

Is Adventure Sync not working again? I got it working once, but now it's not working at all (again)....

Unfortunately all I can do right now is log on and get the rewards - part of my touch screen is dead and this game absolutely refuses to let me rotate the screen, so I can't get past level 30 because the basket is literally right next to that area :/

But in case people need it, here's my FC:

Thanks everyone, I appreciate the responses. I'll probably wait a while. Although it does sound like a fun game overall, I'm not too bothered about creating the island itself (still playing Dragon Quest Builders 2 after 8 months - that's where my island building focus goes) and it seems like my favourite parts of NL have been taken out or watered down.

Since the game has been out a while... Could anyone tell me if it's worth me buying? Should I wait? This is first AC game (excluding the Japanese-only N64 game, although I have played and enjoyed it) that I haven't rushed out to buy. The island thing didn't pull me in like I thought it would.

I saw Ragamuffin's post about the lack of furniture and I have to say... That was probably my favourite aspect of NL (my favourite AC game). I've heard that you can customize the island shape(?) but I don't think I'm all that bothered about it, I was happy just working with the randomized tiles NL gave me anyway. I also enjoyed completing villager tasks and interacting with them, but I'm under the impression there's not as much interacting.

Also, I don't have Nintendo Online - is that going to be a drawback?

I wonder why so many of the NPCs got replaced, though. I miss Nat already :< Daisy Mae is soooo cute, though.

It's all so shiny and pretty :O

Spoiler
Ok, it's time to get cynical about Baby Game. I'm not a fan of them replacing the characters like this. I do like the new designs, but I feel like it's all about marketing. You can't make merchandise of Chip, Joan, and Nat. They're all "ugly". Nobody wants to buy stuff of them. However, CJ, Daisy Mae, and Flick? VERY merchandisable! Everyone on Twitter already loves Flick, drawing tons of fanart of her! When was the last time you saw someone gush about how much they love Nat?

Same with the villagers. I love the horse one at least, and I always love cats. But this batch of villagers they've shown off caters to the crowd who loves those kinds of characters. Think of Marshal, Merengue, Goldie, etc. The "cute" characters. They are even heavily featured in trailers and merchandise. The snow cone-looking bear? The cutesy sheep, the hipster cat? They're all going to be fought over. And if it weren't for amiibo cards, people would probably resort to buying/selling them on eBay like they did with ACNL. People who didn't play ACNL back in 2013 wouldn't understand the Marshall hype, I think. I STILL don't understand the Marshall hype. He's not that cute or unique. He's just a squirrel and one of many smug types you can get.

I guess I'm going to be Old Man Yells At Cloud at this, because ACNH offers a LOT of things I'm excited about, a lot of quality of life improvements, but a big part of Animal Crossing is having villagers you don't like, having ugly villagers. And sometimes you grow to really like them. And if you don't, you can beat them over the head with a net and push them into pitfalls. It's all part of the experience. Being able to call up anyone you want and having all of the new ones be super likeable and not-at-all ugly? Isn't as fun. I guess you don't have to do it if you don't want to but still... These new characters are all "Marshall"-esque... when are we going to get someone who's more like... Prince, for instance? XD It also feels superficial. Instead of befriending and liking anyone who comes into your town because they're nice or cool or something, it's all about the
~ .: * a e s t h e t i c * :. ~. People are going to get all the cutesy villagers solely because they match their pastel fairytale town theme.

Not only that, but it also goes into the "Animal Crossing now is too nice" thing which I wholeheartedly agree on. I talked about this before earlier in the thread how the animals nowadays are too nice and lack and personality. There's no incentive to go and make friends because their personalities all boil down to "Hey neighbour! Beautiful day, huh! I think I'm going to go eat some fruit!". Compare to the other games where the animals would gossip about each other and insult you...

Okay, rant over. XD I just never liked this trend of villagers. Which leads into...
Spoiler
Yeah, I miss the  days when neighbours could be kinda awful to each other. I always enjoyed seeing the different villagers as well, and some of the ones I thought I'd hate I ended up falling in love with and keeping them. Except for Violet. If anyone was around for the ACNL thread here, you'll know how much I HATED her. And she would NOT leave, ugh....
That being said, Marshall! I made a ton of bells selling that guy when he came to my town.  :devious:

Anyway, I'm late to this thread. I'm really looking forward to the game, wonder if it will drag me away from my island on Dragon Quest Builders 2....

Don't have her, but I wouldn't mind getting this one, even though I'm cutting down on ponies :)

Car boot find, she's not in the best condition. She's cute, but I prefer her accessory (which I don't have).

So we finally have a Safari Zone in the UK... But it's in Liverpool. Seriously surprised that Niantic haven't done a single event in London yet. Eh. Apparently tickets were advertised at £12 but that didn't include taxes/fees which makes it... £18 a ticket. For a bunch of 'mons that even the most casual of players will already have. Save for Relicanth (I'm pretty sure I can easily find someone to trade with locally on that one).

I'll pass... Not that I can find anywhere cheap that would take me to Liverpool anyway, heh.
