Deals: Incredibly, These Zelda And Metroid amiibo Are Down To Just $5 Right Now

Zelda I get, but the Metroid one? Hmm, do they know something we don't? Release of Prime 2 Remastered?

Managed to nab all three of these amiibo yesterday for a grand total of $10. Very glad I was able to secure these, especially the Dread double pack. The E.M.M.I. figure looks awesome.

Thanks for the heads-up! Snagged as I had neither.

And then when they finally arrive you discover they were display models, carefully placed back in the original packaging with an orange "New" sticker added for false affirmation. Never going to be a sucker for this company again.

Ooh that Zelda would be nice.. too bad it's 30€ here (I haven't checked what German Amazon sells nowadays, Finland really isn't strong with Amiibos anymore).

TBH currently I still need Smallfry (too bad it's in pack) and Sepiroth amiibos, my collecting has been more quiet in past years. And maybe Byleth.

Went to buy it through shipping, and somehow there was enough fees that the price went all the way up to $20.

When Zelda Amiibo first came out I want it so much but get not one was sold out.

Went by a store yesterday and can confirm — $5 each. Bought a second Metroid pack just for the heck of it.

I think the reason is that they just have so many of these guys that they couldn’t sell otherwise…every time I go in the store, they have an abundance of these figures, especially the Metroid ones.

EDIT: Just went in again today and they had two Metroid packs left; all the rest (Metroid and Zelda) were behind the desk, reserved for ship-from-store orders. It seems like the deal worked to finally get these figures off the shelves.

…may or may not have impulse bought those last two just because it was really funny. 😅

Saw them on the app yesterday but has been impossible to buy for me

Are Amiibos still a thing?
I kinda felt like most people moved on a while ago.

@HalloHerrNoob Still massive. A lot of companies here won't hire you unless you have rare ones

I don't know how to feel about this. If the amiibo market is crashing, that's nice for a collector like me, because it means I'll finally be able to get certain ones without having to fork over an arm and a leg. But I don't know if this bodes well for the future of amiibo. There's still so many characters I want to see join the lineup, and it'd be a shame to see it end any time soon. Even though there's already so many great ones available. It's not like this is the first time this has happened, but that was when Amiibo Festival proved to be a massive flop and you could find those things in every discount bin imaginable.

@Not_Soos The market is not crashing. These two were available in big box stores on a constant basis - they were always in stock because no one wants them. These two will never be valuable - they over produced two figures that no one bought.

Some are popular; some never will be. Sephiroth sold out everywhere in minutes. I can go to any Target in town right now and the rack will be filled with Kazuyas - which was released on the same day.

tl;dr Skyward Sword and Metroid are not in demand.

I never cared about amiibo, and the only one I had up until this point was the Wolf Link that came with Twilight Princess HD (which happened to be on sale at the time). But at $5 a pop, why not?

guess that makes 'merica great again, rite? Right in your face, rest of the world

i guess with 100USD shipping to EU 😂😂😂

Sold Out! Bummer. I don't have the Metroid ones. $5 is an awesome deal.

Oh my! I'm not interested in these specific models but can't say I'm not tempted. I'm really hoping for a Wolf Link re-release or any news on the Pyra/Mythra launch

I nabbed the Zelda & Loftwing amiibo! I have been wanting that one for a very long time, and this is my perfect opportunity! Super stoked!

@Not_Soos Maybe gamers are starting to weigh Amiibo cost against the value of the relatively minor bonuses they seem to bring in most games. Nintendo is adding DLC for almost every major title now, so you're talking an investment of $100 or more if you want the base game, the Amiibo and the DLC. I think I'd rather reroute Amiibo cost to two or three eShop downloads.

@Burning_Spear I buy amiibos because they are kind of high quality little statues for the price. I only get the characters I swoon over - I'd probably pay more for them (don't tell Nintendo). I really hope they make money on these things and continue to produce them on the NeoSwitch.

I regret to this day not buying Bayonetta version 2. I got the first one. At the time I didn't like Bayo v.2's short hair look -now I prefer it

I ain't paying 60 for it though.

I already have the Zelda Loftwing amiibo but could use the Metroid double pack....Shame it's pick up in store only. None of the stores near me (according to the site) seem to have any in stock.

Thanks for this. Got the Zelda one!

They were $10 a few months back. Didn't think we'd see them go lower, so I snagged them then.

Boy, people really are over the amiibo thing, I guess.

Hope this doesn't impact Nintendo's decision to release ones for Pyra and Mythra.

Yay! Scored me an extra set of Metroid Dread. Now we have one we can open!

I'm honestly one of those who gets amiibo for the figure itself. It looks great to have the Smash diorama with the characters from the different third-parties: Mario, Sonic, Snake, Mega Man, Pac-Man, Ryu, Cloud, Simon (which I just got this weekend and has since replaced Richter in its place on the diorama), Joker and Hero plus Shovel Knight and a LEGO Dimensions minifigure of Chase McCain.

However, here in Mexico it's reaching a point where at retail they almost cost 3 times their original price in 2014, and that price is now half the price of a Switch game.

As for this, I already have the Metroid Dread duo, but I don't have SS Zelda. I'd buy the latter, and maybe a pair of the duo.

I jumped on this as soon as I saw the email. 😅 Was able to order both amiibo. Also got Xenoblade chronicles 3 and a free copy of octopath traveler 2 in the BOGO sale.

I had ordered the Metroid two pack to pick up at my local store yesterday afternoon. Just got an email saying that my order had been canceled...

Not available online, and the site has different on opinions on whether local stores have it.

@Burning_Spear I wouldn't be surprised if these were display models, but from what I've seen from both Gamestop and other stores, they have too many left over from the two restocks. This is a sale with Gamestop desperate to get rid of inventory that has been on the shelves for months, if not a year.

As a long-time Amiibo collector, I think this spells that the Metroid 2-pack will become valuable.

Zelda will likely have a reprint, but with most of the other franchises once the Amiibo goes on a discount, then it means that it's not selling very many. In a few years time, it'll be the one that nobody bought. Same thing happened with my Gold Megaman and Mega Yarn Yoshi

Website says the store has them in stock but wouldn’t let me order. I called up the store and they were all sold out.

Keeping an eye out for both of them. Not a huge amiibo person but for that price I can’t refuse. The Metroid one is out of stock for me but hopefully I can still find one somewhere.

@Ryan Craddock:
Thanks for this.
I was able to get a Metroid E.M.M.i. 2-pack from Target for $5.00 plus tax!

Ordered this morning, and my order was cancelled 3 hours later because reasons. This company is awful and should not be supported—I need to work on my self-restraint… 😑

@Bunkerneath : I strongly doubt that any of the Prime re-releases will include any amiibo support (though it would be nice if they did).

For the UK - I'm surprised they linked TheGameCollection for the Metroid amiibo, but not for the Zelda one, where it is cheaper than the Amazon one they've linked. It's £21.95 at TheGameCollection.

@hylianticipated Also - that £29.99 crossed-out price is BS. The RRP is £21.99. #Scamazon

Did you see how much they were charging for the TotK Amiibo ? ~£30 🤑 Do you think they will make it available again at a lower/reasonable price before release so the people who already ordered will pay that lower price ("Pre-Order Price Guarantee") ? Of course not 🤡 #Scamazon

I love how they'll produce millions of units for these characters & sets that nobody wants, but you have to call out sick from work to have a chance at getting the Smash or Splatoon reprints.

The amount of these two sets sitting in my local stores reminds me of the Animal Crossing amiibo choking the shelves for 2 years. Then they dropped the clearance price to $1-3/figure and New Horizons became a preorder behemoth. They were all gone within a few days. 😂
