Considering Skylanders worked in their packaging (If you try the store demo with the portal thing and actual figures), it's probably likely these will too.

Considering Skylanders worked in their packaging (If you try the store demo with the portal thing and actual figures), it's probably likely these will too.
The figures use NFC communication, so they just have to be near the receiver to be connected. In Pok?mon Rumble U, you could leave the Pok?mon inside the plastic Pokeball it was in and still be able to check what it was without opening it. (Which was extremely helpful since the figures were random, so you could get a Pikachu 12 times in a row and you didn't have control over it.)

Such a tease!
I want Marth, Zelda, and Shiek. And maybe Link. Why do some pictures show Link with a clear stand and others have a yellow stand? The yellow one looks weird.
Anyone buy into the Lootcrate Amiibos?

Essentially what seemed like a potentially cool idea gone wrong. $150 for ten Amiibos and some random crap. Also US only.

My fianc? and I preordered the Loot Crate.
If you count 10 figures x $13 = $130
plus shipping: Game Stop charged $3.50 shipping PER FIGURE = $35 shipping if you ordered all 10 from GS (assuming some are out of stock in store, you can't get to a store, you don't want to be bothered with the store, etc)
______________________________________
Total: $165 for 10 figures and no element of surprise.
OR
$140 Loot Crate
+$15 Shipping
______________
Total: $155 for 10 figures, and a t-shirt AT MINIMUM, plus it comes to my house, with no hassle.
For all of the complaining that was posted online about the price of the Amiibo crate..... I guess there were enough supporters because they are SOLD OUT already.

I suppose. Still you're hardly even saving much there and Shulk is unfortunately Gamestop exclusive so you will have to go to them eventually. I was interested until I saw the prices, I guess just not having the money just really turned me off.

For us, it wasn't about saving the money. I think it's the pure thrill of not knowing what the other items are. ;-)
Also, we're both done with school and working. The only things we spend money on are basic essentials, video games and currently saving for our wedding. I believe it changes things just a little when looking at the cost.
