Getting common ones like Mario, Link, and Pikachu is relatively easy, and I'd say $13 dollars is a reasonable price for a decent looking figurine that grants you cool little bonuses in games.

Don't even think about getting ones like Marth, Villager, or Wii Fit Trainer if you're gonna use amiibos mainly for in-game stuff. The prices for them are pretty ridiculous, and the only reason you'd ever wanna buy them is for collection purposes.

Way too pricey. They might as well make them a simple toy, sell them for $5 and make billions.

$13 isn't much.
