UK retailer Argos appears to be sitting on a serious surplus of amiibo and have discounted a load of them on their website, including most of the Animal Crossing range.
Villager can be picked up for the cool price of £5.99, along with Lottie and Cyrus. Mr Resetti will set you back a still-reasonable £6.49 - likewise Blathers, Kicks and Mabel. Celeste and that swine Tom Nook can be bagged for £7.99, and the three-pack that includes K.K. Slider is down to a manageable £15.99.
Other characters from different series are also available, so there's probably never been a better time to avail yourself of Robin, Toad or any of the Smash Bros. Miis.
There are 20 amiibo on sale in total, plus other video game-related bargains to be had. We doubt they'll hang around too long, so if you're interested, it's probably best to snap them up while they're cheap. We can't imagine Animal Crossing Switch won't use them when it eventually arrives.
Tempted to add one or two of these to your collection? Want a K.K. but couldn't care less about Cyrus or Reese? Drop us a line below.

Website is being so annoying. I've added them all to my basket and when I click on it, they're not there.
Sorry but these discounts are far away from lovely.
I remember seeing Animal Crossing amiibo festival, Isabelle and Digby amiibo included, for £5 in Poundland.
I paid full price for the whole set of amiibo when they launched...
I hope AC Switch uses amiibo cards like New Leaf does. One of my favourite residents left my town, so I used his amiibo card to brkmg him back permanently, and I want him to come to my lovely new HD town this year!
I never really understood what they do... amiibo.... what do they do? How do I know what they u lock in what games?

Varies from game to game.
In Animal Crossing amiibo festival, touching the amiibo figure to the NFC scanner was how you rolled the dice. It gets old instantly.
In Animal Crossing New Leaf Welcome amiibo, you can scan amiibo figures or cards to summon characters to your town's camp, and even invite them to live in town (as long as they're not a special character)
The Isabelle amiibo figures and cards are compatible with Smash Ultimate as well, as a figure player. Other Animal Crossing amiibo figures (but not cards) can unlock spirits or bonuses.
The same Animal Crossing series figures unlock mystery costume outfits in Super Mario Maker.
@RupeeClock lol. I was shocked when I went Poundland and saw this. It just didn’t fit in next to all the arts and craft accessories
I’ll be so heartbroken if the Switch Animal Crossing doesn’t support amiibo. I bought so many of those dang cards...
@RupeeClock cheers. That helps. I’ve googled it before and never quite got it. So mainly random ones are most use in Smash I’m guessing.
What the coolest thing that an amiibo unlocks in any game?? Zelda one? Mario? I’m guessing BOTW and Odyssey have some decent unlocks?
@Stocksy
Some games have a featured amiibo packaged with the game that unlocks something significant.
For Breath of the Wild, the Twilight Princess Wolf Link + Midna amiibo will summon a Wolf Link companion.
@thesilverbrick Good point. I would have to believe that they must. The game is cute, the amiibo are cute, it simply makes sense that they would work together.
As for unlockabilities: besides a few novelties in games, I think that the main purpose for these figures is to look cool. I do like having KK Slider on my desk.
@RupeeClock Thanks mate, I might have a look at BOTW one. Guessing this late to the party itll be expensive!
Awesome!
...except for the fact I'm not in the UK.
Am I the only one that actually really liked amiibo Festival? I think everyone expected it to be more like Mario Party then a traditional board game, and it definitely is really fun when I have people over. I see it as. A more relaxed alternative to Mario Party, one that doesn't make everyone want to kill each other by the end of the night!
I got the Shulk amiibo to go with Xenoblade 3D. It’s also slightly discounted
@AxeltheBuizel ditto, I ilked it! It was fun and relaxing, and had a good AC vibe (while not being the real thing). Sadly, it seems, pretty much nobody else felt the same way
If you live in the US, go to Five Below! All amiibos including the 3 pack are $5. My girlfriend went and bought every last one last weekend upon finding out about the sale!
