Good find OP. Gamestop also got a Ridley reprint/restock and I read it's exclusive to them.

Yes! Finally! Been waiting to grab them

VPN maybe? I always have to switch mine off before using gamestop.

Anyone got time for a Stupid question (not a troll I swear).

Why do people go wild over amiibos? For the collector value? They like Nintendo figurines? Or do people buy it for the in-game effects it gives you ?

Again I swear not a troll... Genuinely curious!

For myself I like the details and how great they look.
Not only that but some of them just look great next to say a limited edition console or art work. I dont go after all of them just the ones that I want.

I'll bite. I like Nintendo stuff in general and the figures are pretty high quality, detailed. I started off with just a few and I just hit 70 with the latest Metroid figures. They are small enough that they don't take up a ton of space, I don't keep them in the boxes like some folks so I'm sure I just lost half the value but I didn't buy them as an investment. I put them on some 45" wide picture ledges from IKEA and I'm on 5 ledges now. It's just been fun to collect the ones that interested me over the past 7 years. Some of them do have some nice in-game bonuses, the only ones I really care about are the perm unlocks (like the Monster Hunter Rise ones), but some offer daily unlocks if you wanted to scan your Amiibo all the time.

Now for Monster Hunter stories 2 and splatoon 2 neon amiibos to come back!

If all you're interested in is the in-game effects, you can get NTAG-215 NFC tags in bulk for about 20-30 cents each (depending on how many you buy), and use an NFC phone with the TagMo app (along with the appropriate 540-byte .bin files captured by others, available on the Internet) to make them into amiibo.

The in-game effects of amiibo are typically pretty minimal to begin with.

The value in amiibo is almost entirely in the collectible figure. I collect certain series of amiibo (Zelda, Metroid), and certain characters from Smash that I think are cool, but these days I don't even take them out of the package, since they display so nice in them. For the in-game effects, I typically create amiibo coins (or use my re-writable n2elite--but that is no longer supported by the manufacturer, so new amiibo don't display properly in the app).

There are some people who try to collect every single amiibo ever produced. If amiibo interest you, I recommend narrowing your scope to a particular game or series that you care about.

If all you want are an extra energy tank and missile upgrade in Metroid Dread, those can be had for mere cents.

Here you go! Haven't hung the 5th ledge yet, the name of the ledge from IKEA is there as well for those interested.
