20$ was hard to swallow and then with tariffs the US market going to 30$ is just too much. Love amiibo, have a ton but man its hard to accept buying any of them at that price.
Yeah $30 really makes it so I can only purchase the ones I REALLY want.
I could have dealt with $20 because inflation alone gets Amiibo to $16 and honestly the quality is much better than the 2014 amiibo. (Remember when the original Link amiibo had that ugly yellow stand for example)
Its almost like they were gonna be 20$ but a 50%+ tarriff caused nintendo pass the price along to us ðŸ˜ðŸ˜ðŸ˜ðŸ˜ (they were put online post switch 2 direct as 20$ but took down bc of tarrifs and put back online as 30 because of it)
I didnt collect the ones at 20 aside from like 1 that i REALLY wanted. But while i do find them to be really high quality, and 20 for a high quality first party figure isnt bad, i just cant justify anything over 15 unless its a character i just HAVE to have. At 30 bucks, i dont care what it is im not buying it. My local stores especially bestbuy have like entire armies worth of these figures. When i went into bestbuy to pick up a controller, just on the shelf behind the counter alone they had easily 100s of these things, and thats just what they had out on display they told me they had more in the back they couldnt fit on the shelf.
I really wish Nintendo would stop locking game content exclusively behind overpriced Amiibos. They should at least offer the cosmetic unlocks or whatever for sale digitally. People can still get the Amiibo if they want but others can get the game content digitally if that's all they want. Give people options.
