A few weeks ago we told you about Nintendo teaming up with Loot Crate in order to offer a special edition box that contained at least one Amiibo. If you haven’t already signed up to receive that box from Loot Crate, you’re out of luck, as the company has announced that their Amiibo Loot Crate option is now completely sold out.
With the announcement Loot Crate did not say if Nintendo plans on sponsoring another event with them, but given how quickly these boxes went, it’s obvious there’s some demand for themed Loot Crate boxes. Did you get one of these before they managed to sell out?

In case you didn't know what was the offer,read this:
Costs as much as a 3DS
Earlier this week it was announced that there would be a Loot Crate amiibo subscription package — it's a service where you pay monthly in return for regular deliveries of goodies.
This is a Nintendo of America partnership, and details have now been confirmed for the amiibo subscription deal; it's limited to the US only, unfortunately, despite Loot Crate typically being available in a number of countries. The final offering is over three weeks, with the following delivered each week.
- Week 1 — 4 amiibo (Mario, Donkey Kong, Kirby and Pikachu), a collectible mini-mag, plus an exclusive sticker & wristband.
- Week 2 — 4 amiibo (Fox, Yoshi, Peach and Samus), a collectible mini-mag, plus an exclusive cinch bag.
- Week 3 — 2 amiibo (Luigi and Zelda), a collectible mini-mag, plus an ultra rare t-shirt
10 amiibo and some goodies, then, but the pricing may make some think twice. There are two payment options, either weekly or a slight reduction for a one-off payment.
- $55 per week for three weeks — total of $165
- One off payment of $155
The amiibo figures are typically around $12.99 at retail, so the 10 on offer are worth about $130, with the rest accounting for the extras such as the magazines. It's a lot of money to put down, while there's naturally a lot more flexibility in simply choosing from the range yourself; by February 2015 there'll be 29 toys available in total, 18 of those before the end of 2014.
