I'm curious what people think here so here are some ideas I have had. Would any of you be interested in any of the following ideas instead of buying each Amiibo individually:

1) Pay $150 and receive 1 of each amiibo (no duplicates) as they are released. This means if a new one comes out you would get it for free, with free shipping, from Nintendo. You would essentially break even after aquiring 14 Amiibo's.

2) Pay $50 annually and get 5 amiibo's annually shipped to your home.

Wasn't there something similar to (2) with Loot Crate?

Thats exactly what I was thinking but it ended up by having various Loot Crate owners not being able to get the amiibos on time due to Nintendo's shipping so instead of getting them on time, they got it after the day 1 people

Do you get to pick and choose the amiibos, or do would you just get randomly selected ones?

The current model, I find it fun checking if an amiibo I want is in or not whenever I'm out shopping for something, it's like an Easter egg hunt.

I guess if I desperately needed every figurine out there, I wouldn't mind option 1.

Most who buy 1, buy multiple, or at least that's what seems like to me. This would be appealing for, potentially 25-50% of Amiibo owners.



Hey, that sounds good to me. It seems scalper-proof, too, so that's nice. At least people can get their Amiibos easier this way.



Option 1 sounds great for a the consumer, horrible for Nintendo tho. $150 for every Amiibo to ever be made ever or for like... one year? Even for one year... pretty raw deal for Nintendo. I think somewhere around 30 have already been released so if you bought them individually that would be around $425. Nintendo would lose so much cash at that price point versus the current model.
Now... something around $300 bucks might be feasible for one year....
