Amiibos

[uwuzumakii]

I need some guidance on this... I have a few and I would like help with things like rarity and prices. Also looking for good ways to find amiibos. I'm kind of familiar on the subject, but I'd just like some advice.

 

[Cress]

Well pretty much everything is different depending on your country, so you need to tell us where that is to help you. (Not anything specific since that's creepy and against the rules.)

Oh, and the amiibos I have are Mario, Donkey Kong, Zelda, Kirby, Dr. Mario, Sonic, and Yoshi.

 

[uwuzumakii]

Bump, I hope I can get some help with this...

 

[Heyden]

They're all common tbh. You'll probably sell them for less than retail price..

 

[Cress]

Yeah, those except for DK are super common. The only other common ones I'd add are Peach, Yoshi, Pikachu, and Bowser. Everyone else is rare because "what's a demand and why is it important" is something Nintendo still doesn't understand. The others have different levels of rare, but they're all rare.

Best way to buy amiibos is to import from Japan since that's the only way to get anyone else. (Importing from Europe would work better probably if you're on the east coast though.)

In Canada Sonic is uncommon. Not sure about where you live though.

Bump and let me reword this. You did help, but do you or anyone else know of other ways besides importing to get other amiibos in the U.S.A.?

I'm not sure how up-to-date it is and results will of course vary on your specific location, but

wait for restocks c:

I think just buying them on ebay from australia or japan is the easiest way to do it.

sometimes just explore the different stores near you and you might see someone unexpected.
I once went to ToysRUs and found Marth, Villager, Ike and Captain Falcon and picked up Marth when I was supposed to pick up Link lol.

Oh my god, wow! The thing is, I have no means of transportation... I have to wait for one of my parents to take me and I don't think they want to drive me around on an amiibo hunt... I'll try to find them, though!

aw ;-;

My dad drove me there because my sister got a Kirby amiibo from ebay and he decided that I also needed my own one and I got Marth just by luck!

I wish you good luck on your amiibo hunting and I hope you don't spend too much on ebay or amazon c:

Thanks, since I don't have any source of income other that my weekly allowance, I guess it's time for me to beg my parents!

Yeah, restocks are never happening. Marth got a "restock" and that was like 2,000 for all of NA. It's been almost a year since his release and another restock hasn't been announced. If Nintendo actually cared, they would try to fix the problem.

And where do you live that you even saw one of those on a shelf omg

I'm not giving up hope! I will try my best to get ALL OF THE AMIIBOS!!! Even though that will never happen...

Oh that explains it because Canada and the US are completely different. I live in a busy part of California, but it isn't busy enough to get any kind of actual stock. :/

 

[uwuzumakii]

I'm really mainly interested in finding the Chibi-Robo and Shovel Knight amiibos, and the Chibi-Robo one is only sold in a bundle pack with the game, so that's gonna be extra expensive...

not sure how useful it'll be to you or if it's anything you want but

Thank you for this useful information. Sadly, as previously stated, I have no means of transportation...
