US price then because in UK
On Nintendo store.
As you see they've always been in the 25-35 price range for a while for most of us, I've been buying Amiibos for ages now the original batch had inconsistent quality which has improved TP's Amiibo was a limited edition one that required the purchase of a game and was one of the better ones, Link's standard amiibo how ever became a meme for this inconsistency. |
I'm from Europe actually. I used the US prices to keep consistency. But in Europe there has been parity: 15 dollars = 15 euros for amiibos.
Also, I don't know if you are mocking me or if you just didn't realize, but the Metroid Dread amiibo pack are... Well, TWO amiibos. For 30 euros. And now we get a single amiibo for 30 euros (in the case of Samus's amiibo from Prime 4).
I've also been buying amiibos from the beginning. And while I admit that certain figurines had rough details (certain batches of the Shulk amiibo displayed a very weird face for example), in general the level of detail has remained mostly the same. Some figures are better than others. That was true then and it's still true now.
The Wolf Link amiibo could be purchased separately from TP HD. In fact, you can still buy it from mynintendostore... At 15 euros:
Again, even if you were right and quality actually improved, it certainly hasn't been an improvement that justifies doubling prices. It's abusive, it's unexcusable and it's just one more Nintendo anti-consumer move in a very long recent list.
