It seems like a bunch of retailers are trying to shift their amiibo recently. Not too sure why, but it translates to some good deals if you’re the type that likes collecting amiibo.
I wouldn’t be so bold to say that all of EB’s amiibo are up for sale, but Jesus Christ there’s a lot of them in there.
Captain Falcon, Little Mac, Rosalina, King Dedede, Mewtwo, Falco, Duck Hunt, R.O.B., Lucas, Pacman, Captain Olimar, a bunch of Animal Crossing ones, Fox McCloud, Samus Aran, Pikachu, Zelda and some of the Splatoon ones. That’s what I saw listed. There may be more than that if you dig.
Point being, this is a super good deal for amiibo. They normally retail at $17.95 so this basically amounts to half-price.
Does this mean that EB Games is trying to clear stock for a whole bunch of new Amiibo? Probably. But who cares. Have at it.

We picked up a Dr Mario and Mulan figure yesterday. No intention of ever using them in any game but they sure are shiny. There was a wall of figurines with 1/2 price stickers. Basically everything except the Yarn Yoshis.
No Shovel Knight on sale : (
I might have to pop into my local EB to see what they have – Like Trjn, no intent of ever using them but some of them look sooooo purdy,
No yarn Yoshi, 🙁
Perhaps they think the “toys to life” business is collapsing after Disney announced they’re pulling out, so trying to liquidate the stock?
If it counts for anything, I traded in 9 amiibo (had a collection of about 30 beforehand) on the weekend towards Fire Emblem Birthright for 3DS. EB gave me about $2.00 in-store credit for each of them with my Level 2 membership card. I feel as if an amiibo market crash is inevitable.
I went through the same process with Skylanders and Disney Infinity before the collapse (kept none of these in the end).
When the toys-to-life fad comes to an end, I imagine I’ll have about 5 – 10 of my favourite amiibo remaining.
Yarn Yoshi @Kmart is $30 if your local has one. I picked one up a few weeks back and have seen a few since still on the shelf. MT Ommaney had two last week if you’re in Brisbane.
Interesting how we went from extreme shortages to what seems like a huge surplus of stock
anyone got an Ike amiibo they wanna hock off to me for $8 in SA 😀
