Update: This is already available at Best Buy. It does have an “Only at Best Buy” tag though, so I suppose it won’t be an exclusive any longer come next month!
Next month, a new amiibo travel case will be sold by HORI. Amazon
lists a January 21 release date.
HORI’s case features retro Mario mystery block artwork, plus clear windows to display your amiibo collection. The officially-licensed product stores up to eight figures.
