If the scalpers let me buy them for a normal price I will at least get the ink-girl. But I don't have faith to see them in the wild and I also don't have the patience and time to hunt them online.

Yes, I know, it is evil to revive old threads. However I want to tell what happened a while ago and I think this is the fitting thread.

Like you can see in my original post, I had not much faith to find an Splatoon-Amiibo in the wild. However when I visited my local electronics market (Saturn) I checked for Amiibos and saw one lonely Ink-Girl. I bought it instantly, it was the last one and there were no other Splatoon-Amiibos. I was happy because I got exactly what I searched for.

A little while later I was in another electronics market (Media Markt). I checked for Amiibos and found a lonely Ink-Boy. Like the Ink-Girl it was the last one and there were no other Splatoon-Amiibos. It wasn't originally planed, but I bought him too.

Some days later I surfed the web and got a google advert for the Splatoon Special Edition. I didn't believe that it would be available online, it wasn't the first time that I clicked a link just to find out that the amiibo or whatever isn't available anymore. But I still clicked the link. And it was available for 60 € on buecher.de. I remembered that I got a coupon for the site a few years ago. Of course it wasn't valid anymore, but I did a short google search and found a new, valid coupon. So I only paid 55 € which is a fair price for a 40 € game with an amiibo included. I probably ordered one of the last ones, because shortly after I bought the Special Edition, it wasn't available anymore on buecher.de.

So this is the story how I expected to find none of the Splatoon Amiibos and ended up with getting all three.

It's $40 without even getting into scalpers, $13 per Amiibo, so over 40 with tax/shipping.

My wife bought us the game, but we're not getting the amiibo. I just have the big three anyway (Mario, Link, and Samus). I've been meaning to get a Megaman, and my wife really wants the Yarn Yoshi. Other than that, we're not really in the market for any more. That's always subject to change, however.

oh the bundle one. i thought you are mentioned a single amiibo for $40. which i just saw the inkling girl is more expensive than the inkling boy amiibo.  

not sure if there are stocks for the bundle one though.  i normally check amazon for amiibos.



Maybe I'll buy them used, unlock the stuff and sell them again...
