I usually get mine when they go on clearance. Target did this a lot with the Kirby series two months after it first came out - and I've gotten a few Clouds and Guardians this way too.
-
I've been on the subreddit for amiibo since wave 2 and you answer 90% of its questions in this video. Great info!
-
I use NFC stickers. a friend of mine told me about their existence, and combined with my ability to draw, i made these cute lil amiibo cards for me n my bros
-
This video couldn't have come at a better time for me. Thanks for the info, Doc

amiibo prices in hong kong retail are insane, i went shopping in sino center for games and saw amiibo selling for $100 hkd (12.75 usd) (it was pokemon trainer, pichu, and ivysaur, i think). most of them are below msrp, and the variety of amiibo is pretty good (i saw stuff like smash samus, callie and marie, kirby, bayo p1 and p2, cloud p1 and p2, and a lot more). most importantly, they are all in box, unopened if ur going to visit hong kong, make sure to go to game stores. there are old shopping malls dedicated to games, anime figures, and tech stuff i didnt pick up any amiibo up cuz i didnt bring a lot of money. i spent to money on a copy of xenoblade for $220 hkd (28 usd)

3:33 I legit thought that the Ridley amiibo was a player. CPUs can pivot? That's amazing.

Ambo makes my money go bye bye

Could you eventually do a “Rate all Amiibo” video? I dunno if you have already, but with the list constantly updating, it would be cool. Also, it’d probably be better to wait until all Smash amiibo come out and we get a glimpse at the Zelda Tears of the Kingdom amiibo that will inevitably come out.

Using ebay I was able to get Corrin P2 for 100$ new in box! Best deal I have had considering it goes for about 160-200$
-
2:14 Counterpoint, Doc. I like opening boxes, it's fun :)
-
Very well made video! Just barely starting out on my Amiibo collecting journey, and this was very helpful. I also subscribed! Looking forward to watching more. Good job on the research put into the video! :)

I recenty got addicted to the Vinted app and found out it's a lot cheaper for me to buy Amiibo from Spain and France w/ shipping than to buy them in my own country (Netherlands). Prices are a lot lower on there. Been buying Amiibo like crazy for the last few weeks and picking them up for around 10 euro a piece (w/ shipping). Seeing the prices in this video, makes me believe Amiibo prices are much higher in the US than in Europe ... I might have just found a hole in the market lol.

Your tips just got me a Star Wolf Amiibo for $24 instead of $50
-
you every you lose time buy
-
I went to mercari the other day to buy a whole amiibo lot (all amiibos I didn't have. W) I gotta say go for the ones you really want.
-
Funny thing about getting boxed amiibo, i bought a King Dedede amiibo this year for 20 bucks and i didn't even realize it was boxed untill after i bought it due to the relatively low price. I guess i just got really lucky on that purchase.
-
I got the amiibo trio when it first came out at Toys R Us and I’m glad I did
-
2:11 not sure what your talking about here, I recently bought a Callie and Marie amiibo set from their re-release and haven’t had the heart to open them yet, but I can still use them just fine! Though I did see another comment talking about “older boxes” or something like that, maybe they used those in the re-release.

As of typing this (4/10/22) i have every smash amiibo besides either corrin.

Found some at GameStop. And Salamanca Antiques.
