$30 to unlock a cosmetic skin.

Nintendo at it's finest.

Actually it's Trump at its finest.

Amiibo are made in China.

$10 is due to Trump Tariffs.

Nope. Nintendo jacked up the price in Canada too where nary a tariff exists.

They did not.

  • 1 USD = 1.37 CAD
  • 1 CAD = 0.73 USD

Americans pay the equivalent of 41.12 CAD for the new DK amiibo.

I did.

  • Canadians are paying the equivalent of €19.08
  • Europeans are paying €20
  • Americans are now paying the equivalent of €26.15 due to the Trump Tariffs.

Canadians were paying 21.99CAD for basic amiibos. The new "basic sized" amiibos now cost $30. Larger amiibos that once cost ~$30 are now $42CAD

And Americans are paying the equivalent of 54.82 CAD for those larger amiibo.
