GAME is taking advantage of high demand for amiibo figures. Initially, the retailer had the various figures priced at £11.99, which was £1.99 higher than the asking price on Amazon and Asda. But now, the price has risen to £14.99.

With the recent dual-wielding Samus selling for a whopping $2500, it was only a matter of time before we would come across more  would surface.

A new challenger is approaching… Now we have seen a defective Peach amiibo join the ranks.

A seller on ebay has just posted what appears to be at this time a legitimate defective Peach who seems to have forgotten her legs.

Currently this listing is too new to see if it will rise to the heights of the recently sold Samus, with just a few bids currently listed I am sure we will see more and more people wanting to take advantage of this latest defect.

Check out the screenshots below and see what you think:

The Samus amiibo had some interaction with the Moscow Metro gates, though it wouldn’t actually let you board the transit system for free. Here’s a look at whether some of the amiibo figures work with the Boston subway. The results probably shouldn’t shock you!

The eBay auction for the defective Samus amiibo has finally come to an end.

We reported a few days ago that bids had topped $1,000. Since the auction’s end, which happened today, the final bid reached $2,500.

This Samus amiibo was a hot item for one reason in particular: the two dual canons. Samus only has once, which made the figure a defect.

Update: The dream is dead! It’s true that the amiibo interacts with the gate’s locking mechanism and changes its light to green, but the gate itself will still close on when trying to pass through.

Eurogamer was provided with the following explanation from one of its readers:

“The confusion here is that the gates in Moscow metro seem to be opened all the time, but in fact they’re actually closed. You need to place your card on the reader to ‘unlock’ it and go past them. If you don’t, the gates quickly shuts right before you, possibly injuring your private parts. You can see that green light disappear really quickly – it’s supposed to stay green until you’re past the gates.”

amiibos aren’t just for games, guys. They hold some extra abilities as well. Take the Samus amiibo, for instance, which apparently opens the Moscow Metro ticket gate.

I’m playing around a bit here, but it does in fact look like the Samus amiibo worked in this situation. Reddit user “edkisin” posted the photo above and just posted the Vine clip below an hour or so ago to back up his claim. Looks pretty legitimate to me!

The well-known factory defective Samus amiibo – the figure with two arm canons – is going for quite the price on eBay. There’s still over three days remaining before the auction ends, but bids have already reached $900. Getting a defective amiibo ended up working well for the owner, it seems!

Nintendo previously confirmed that the second wave of amiibo are releasing in December. However, the company still has not provided a final date.

That’s where Amazon and Walmart come in. Both retailers are listing December 14 release dates for the second round of amiibo like Luigi and Zelda.

Plus, there’s also this tweet from Walmart:

I’d say December 14 is looking likely at the moment!

Thanks to Kevin for the tip.
