Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, General Nintendo, News, Wii U | 6 Comments
Earlier this week, Nintendo announced that it has teamed up with Loot Crate for a limited time amiibo subscription service. All of the figures have now been confirmed, and pricing has been revealed.
Nintendo fans have two pricing options available to them. They are as follows:


In week one, consumers will receive the Mario, Donkey Kong, Kirby, and Pikachu amiibo figures along with a collectible mini-mag plus an exclusive sticker and wristband. Yoshi, Fox, Peach, and Samus will follow in week two with another mini-mag and an exclusive cinch bag. To close things out, Luigi and Zelda will be sent in week three with yet another mini-mag and “an ultra rare t-shirt”.
You can find more information over on Loot Crate. Note that crates can only be shipped to the U.S.
Thanks to Carlos D for the tip.

Toys “R” Us: 3 for $30 on all amiibo figures next week
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, General Nintendo, News, Wii U | 9 Comments
Toys “R” Us will be running a slight deal on amiibo figures next week. If you buy three, you’ll be able to get them for $30.
amiibo figures will typically be priced at $12.99 (not sure why the ad above lists $13.99). So by taking advantage of the Toys “R” Us deal, you’ll save nearly $10.
The deals shown above will technically begin on November 16, and will last through November 22. But since amiibo isn’t launching until November 21, you’ll only have a couple of days to take advantage of the sale.

Nintendo stated in a new video today that some amiibo figures in North America will be retailer-exclusive. It looks like we have our first example of that.
GameStop has now opened pre-orders for the Shulk amiibo, and the listing indicates that it’s exclusive. In other words, you won’t find this figure at other retailers. If you want Shulk, you’ll need to buy the figure at GameStop!

According to an IGN report, amiibo figures are not region locked. The site was able to register an American figure with a Japanese profile following yesterday’s Wii U firmware update. That’s certainly good news!
