Several Splatoon amiibo Have Been Restocked At The Nintendo UK Store

Thanks for the heads-up. Wanted all four of those for a while.

Really hope they make them available here again in the US. My oldest daughter has Pearl and Marina. My soon to be 4 year old, who's now into Splatoon, wants Callie and Marie and they are a pain to find at a reasonable price

@UmbreonsPapa I know, right? It's terrible that something that was, let's say, $25-30, is sold USED for 80-100 bucks! 😭😩😫😠

Didn't realise Callie and Marie were so hard to find, I bought mine randomly at a train station and the shelf was full of them.

Amiibo stock is still a mystery.

@Kimyonaakuma Yep. Apparently they were "limited edition", and, yes technically they were. But look at this link: https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=https://www.ebay.com/c/5031269391&ved=2ahUKEwjmyc6Dr6XsAhXkQ98KHez_B3EQFjATegQIDRAB&usg=AOvVaw2uK92Ge8xmYWfNTx7yucys

Callie and Marie were getting to be insanely expensive on the secondary market, so this is a welcome reprint in my books! Now we just need this new batch to come stateside! fingers crossed

I'd buy the dlc from eshop if it were possible, but it's not. So, I bought high quality set of Splatoon 1 & 2 amiibo cards from etsy (US) a couple years ago. They work great, look great. I highly recommend if you just want the dlc content, and are put off by the limited-figures-baloney.

I was just looking at my amiibo collection couple of weeks ago. I dropped off pretty fast. I only have Smash and Splatoon amiibo + couple others that came with special editions. I was wondering if I could still get Pearl and Marina since those are ones I'd actually like to own. I already have the other duo. I looked into it and the answer was pretty much no unless I'd pay a premium price on eBay. So this is a nice surprise.

Now, there are just two problems:
1. Nintendo has disgusting shipping costs.
2. I just finished writing an email to Nintendo because my Splatfest shirt didn't arrive and got sent back to them. I'm pretty sure it wasn't their fault. The delivery company claims they didn't have an address, only the postal code but they also sent it back before it had even been stored for the minimum time they state on their website so I don't know how much I can trust them.

@WoomyNNYes Wait... Those actually work?
Mind Blown...

@Canoko Yeah, amiibo figures just have NFC chips in them, and they are just glorified bardcodes. The amiibo cards scan & work just like the real amiibo. So, yeah, etsty. Edit: If nintendo would have let me buy the amiibo dlc on eshop, I wouldn't have needed to buy the cards.

Ó╭╮Ò but still no US. I really want the Pearl and Marina.
Hopefully they make their way here as well

@Canoko
Idk if you are being sarcastic .......but they are pretty easy to make if you buy NFC19 chips stickers on amazon. I've made some for the really hard to get Zelda and smash amiibos. I still buy some amiibos cause I get them for their look.

@WoomyNNYes I appreciate the info. I'm glad they are an available alternative, but with this article, I might wait a month or two to see if the figures get restocked in the USA

@Ttimer5 I wasn't being sarcastic, I had been skeptical of buying them because I didn't know if they worked.

Holy Crap, Callie and Marie at a decent price. PLEASE come to the States!

@Canoko NFC cards or an N2 disc definitely work. My one tip, the pro controller is sometimes finicky reading the card. It has to be in just the right area. If it gives you an error code, like "amiibo cannot be read," just rescan it. Sometimes it takes a couple of tries.

Hopefully they bring these to the states, as well as restock the 3 pack octoling amiibo, those ones alone are going up to the hundreds

Neat. Hoping they make the Octoling 3-set available again too.

I barely see any amiibo where I live... Nintendo really must do some kind of game like skylanders, specifically made to use with amiibo

@Ziondood I'm still hoping for the Samus Returns and Metroid amiibo to restock, those are super expensive secondhand for unopened boxes. Perhaps they'll re-release them for Metroid Prime 4.

@Tourtus That would be an excellent time to bring it back! I was tempted to pick up that set up purely for the squishy Metroid, but held off also 😭

My niece (and myself tbh) has wanted Callie & Marie for two years. They were in my basket quicker than my niece obliterates me during Splatfest.

Not the one from the series I’m missing orange inkling where for art thou?

Um can I buy from the uk store if I dont live in the uk.

@Ziondood Yeah I regret not buying them too, I thought they'd be unpopular like the Animal Crossing ones so I thought they'd be easy to get down the road, I was wrong! Also I always thought Metroids had a hard, glass like shell because of the original Return of Samus game but the amiibo proves the opposite.

@Snatcher I've never tried, but I'd imagine they don't ship items to other countries and if they do, shipping fees are probably going to be expensive. Also I think Callie and Marie might be region locked because they came from a generation before Nintendo dropped region locking but I'm not 100% sure on that.

@Tourtus my pal got one form japane one time and it worked just fine.

@Snatcher Oh that's good to know!

This is Nintendo slowly taking $20 here and there until you run out of money for a series S/X / PS5

It seems Nintendo continues to have a love affair with the UK store.........

God can’t remember the last time I played it. I’m into battlefield at the moment 🤷🏻‍♂️

@Ziondood Yeah, I think everyone wants that Squishy Metroid for there own health. Like, I am not even a Metroid fan but I needed that Squishy Metroid thing it's so cute!

@Miyamotosan There's always eBay now and with them being released those prices will come down as a result.
