I'm not hating, it's just a concern I had. The ones available for preorder have SSB labeling on them.

The dark days ended late last year. He's normal price now, more or less. NA ones are a little pricier but unless you're a hardcore in-box collector it doesn't matter where it comes from.
Really, you don't have one? Here.
I believe somebody posted this before, but you can get them from Amazon Germany http://www.amazon.de/Nintendo-1067566-amiibo-Smash-Marth/dp/B00N8PC142/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1418108259&sr=8-1&keywords=marth+amiibo
I'm not sure the total cost, but OP of the original thread (http://www.reddit.com/r/amiibo/comments/2oqeuh/alternative_way_to_get_marth_amiibo/) said it cost him $30. Only other option is eBay, and I see them selling for $80 right now :/

Not sure which team you work on but there is an Parent/Child ASIN mismatch for Toon Link as of today.
Parent Amiibo ASIN is: B00N49RAXO
Toon Link ASIN that is under that parent which is incorrect: B00PIEI0PU
Toon Link ASIN that is under that parent but does not get reported to the Product Advertisment API and is the correct one is: B00PG6Z9VI
When you check the Product Advertisement API for Offers under the parent ASIN, you get all expected Amiibo except for Toon Link, that one you receive B00PIEI0PU but instead the one that should be returning is
B00PG6Z9VI.
Not sure if you can file it with the retail team or whichever might be able to correct it.
Thanks :)
the restock was amazon exclusive and amazon.ca has him priced higher than the other restocks... so its there: https://www.amazon.ca/META-KNIGHT-AMIIBO-ACCESSORY-NINTENDO/dp/B00QGBNMW0

Smash Toon Link doesn't seem to be available from Amazon JP itself and only 3rd party seller. I don't think third party sellers ship globally.

Thank you, Op!!
Ok, so I want to try this, but where the heck is the Live Chat? I went to "Help" and no matter how much I look around, I'm not finding it. There's no good "Topic" option either, so I don't want to send an e-mail that'll make no sense.
Edit:
Ok! So I found it and this is my talk with the guy ( I erased his name):
Me: Hello!
I might be in the wrong topic, but I really wasn't sure where to ask.
I want to buy this item https://www.amazon.ca/META-KNIGHT-AMIIB...(See full link) , but I noticed that the price is way too high, even on "sale". The MSRP is supposed to be 15.99 and since this is from Amazon and not another vendor; I'm really confused? Is this an error? All the other restocked Amiibos this past year from other stores like Best Buy and EB Games all list theirs for 15.99$
Thank you for your time!
You are now connected to - from Amazon.ca
Amazon guy: Hello, my name is -. I'm here to help you today.
Me: Hello!
Amazon guy: Nice to meet you and I hope you are doing well.
Me: Nice to meet you too! I am and I hope you are too!
Amazon guy: I understand your concern regarding the price however the price of the item is decided by the manufacturer or seller of the item and every new stock of the item comes with new price.
The item's price is based on the cost price and selling price which is calculated by the manufacturer, if we see the increase or decrease in the price, it is because of the amount the manufacturer has invested in procuring the raw material and selling it at a reasonable price. So that the manufacturer meets the demand and supply and keep the balance.
Me: That's true, but for all remade Amiibos so far, it's been 15.99 and 21.99 for newer ones from this year.
Amazon guy: please allow me a moment
Me: it doesn't make sense for an older Amiibo to cost more than the newer ones, especially if it's amazon selling them. alright!
Amazon guy: I understand but the price of the item is decided by the manufacturer not by amazon however in this case as you are a valuable customer to us, I'll create an one time exception and issue $10 promotional credit which will automatically apply to the next order sold and shipped by amazon and as I see this item is sold and shipped by amazon
I hope this helps.
Me: thank you very much! I honestly think it's the manufacturer that miscalculated the price then, but I really do appreciate this!
Amazon guy: I've issued $10 promotional balance to your amazon.ca account. It will automatically apply to your next order sold and shipped by amazon.
You can see this promotional balance at checkout page, when you are placing order for item sold and fulfilled by amazon.
I sincerely appreciate your understanding in this and it always a pleasure to have a understanding customer like you. Is there anything else I can assist you with today?
Me: Thank you very much! Nope, that was it! I'll go ahead and buy the Amiibo now, have a great evening!
------
So, I dunno if he checked since op said they were gonna change the price, but either way, I ended up with the 10$, so now should I wait and see if the price actually goes down, or buy it now?
Its up Amazon.ca http://www.amazon.ca/dp/B00U6Y7ISC/ref=twister_B00NB3IY24
Sounds like he's a Fox main? In that case, consider -
Those are just example listings; you may be able to find them cheaper elsewhere.

There's two Star Fox amiibo that are part of the Smash Bros. set: Fox McCloud, and Falco Lombardi.
Too bad the only Star Fox game on 3DS was the N64 remake (still amazing), but I think it came out well before Amiibo were a thing.

You linked to one of the in-stock ones. Check Villager or Marth.
good lord. first the gamecube adapters, and now Marth amiibos are selling for $90+

I still got this urls since those are the ones I check when buying.

It's like 39 dollars in US dollars but it's still available to grab him there! :3
I hope this helps!
Ahh yeah, that'd be the difference. If you look on Ike's page:
http://www.amazon.de/Nintendo-1068766-amiibo-Smash-Figur/dp/B00Q6A571A/ref=sr_1_7?ie=UTF8&qid=1422510751&sr=8-7&keywords=amiibo
It says "In Stock.
Ships from and sold by Amazon . Gift-wrap available.
Delivery in the United States until Monday, February 2 : if you order in the next 8 Stunden und 36 Minuten and choose Amazon Global Express delivery at checkout."
So that can make it to you. But if you check Marth's page:
http://www.amazon.de/Nintendo-1067566-amiibo-Smash-Marth/dp/B00N8PC142/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1422510343&sr=8-3&keywords=amiibo
It says "Only 20 in stock
Ships from and sold by conrad_electronic ."
A good indication is usually the little prime symbol. If they have that, it usually means amazon themselves is fulfilling the order.
So unfortunately, for your list Captain Falcon and Marth are being sold by third parties, and Shulk isn't available at all yet. You ~could~ get an Ike, and I think it'd cost you about $30.
Another good option for Marth might be amazon.jp? But I'm not familiar with that site, and you do need to somehow secure a shipping option to ship internationally from them, even though that stock of Marths is from amazon.
You might wanna try proofreading. This threads about scalpers correct? The only Amiibo scalping problem in NA. It's not hard to find an overseas Marth for MSRP. Here's a Marth for MSRP.
http://www.amazon.de/Nintendo-1067566-amiibo-Smash-Marth/dp/B00N8PC142/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1421355834&sr=8-1&keywords=marth
Try Amazon Germany
As long as you are buying from Amazon (not an amazon seller but actually Amazon EU then you should be ok).
Amazon Canada is taking preorders now

I keep jumping from Amazon US to Canada and then Gamestop US to EB Games in Canada sites to find preorders.

You can look on Amazon US as well. I've seen a few sellers with decent prices especially if you have prime. 2 nights ago there was a JP villager shipped from the U.S. for $25. Meta Knight is $30 shipped now from the U.S.
If you're able to get them in stores I'd say try there first. If you want to buy imports check on the ones that you want because you may get lucky. Villager is hovering around $60 though so I'd pass in getting him from there. If you can't find them try looking for the alternate names.

That one is technically 41, but I always choose no rush shipping and get a dollar credit, so I'm counting it! Both versions are JPN.
3rd party sellers. you can go on american Amazon and list an item that amazon doesnt have in stock and set the price to whatever you want to. the article has already been updated but really he should just delete it, it's a non-story and embarrassing that he jumped to conclusions like that.
example: Toon Link amiibo $48, 3x more than MSRP means nothing, has nothing to do with Nintendo branding or price gouging or whatever the stupid forbes blog author thinks
https://www.amazon.com/Toon-Link-amiibo-Super-Smash-Bros/dp/B00PG6Z9VI/
The toon link ones don't come out until February. You can preorder them on Amazon.
This is an amazing thing you're doing, OP! Thank you for your generosity!
I'd feel a little guilty asking for something really expensive, so would it be ok if I asked for a Toon Link Amiibo should I win? It's around $50 on Amazon for new! Please and thank you!

>One or more items have been deleted or modified based on the availability.
Oh you are right. That sucks.
Amazon has em at around $8 more than MSRP if you don't mind paying a little more. I'm sure it would be worth paying more than making rounds for one amiibo.
They usually are in stock more at TRU. Or you can just refresh here for alerts. They should be back in stock online sometime maybe.

With Prime too. :-)
Meta Knight is still available on Amazon.co.jp, however you'd most liking need an import service such as Tenso to get him to you. Little Mac was available yesterday, but now he's sold out. :(
Meta Knight for a fair price!
This list of Japanese sellers on Amazon is the best way I've seen recently to get a Meta Knight. I ordered one last month for a little under the $16 USD minimum they have right now, and it came with free shipping from Japan. Might be your best bet.
Also, a mod made this post a while back listing a lot of rare amiibo from Japanese locations for under $20 on Amazon.
Rosalina, being a unicorn, is quite hard to come by, as you know. All I can really do is link you to this Amazon listing where it's a not-that-great but decent at best $35.

Amazon.co.jp. Reasonable price and ships internationally. Japanese versions, but that doesn't matter unless you're a NiB collector.
There's an option to shop in English on the site as well.
We have no idea. For reference, Villager took almost a full year to restock in America, and Wii Fit Trainer still hasn't seen a proper restock (in America at least, but importing her is relatively the same price as buying MSRP in America). Watch the Japanese imports on Amazon if you don't care about it being Japanese. There's literally no difference in the figure, just the box, but the prices are almost always better to import. Right now it's not so good, but Nintendo of Japan is better and quicker with restocks than Nintendo of America is.
What do you consider ridiculous? Amazon has one for $30
Nintendo amibo Sheik (Super Smash Brothers series) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00PIEI1DG/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_ySmEzbXR0MY3H

I have no doubt that the whole Super Mario series (sans Toad) will be plentiful once they come out. Don't even worry about it.
If you're really desperate to have one secured now, though, he's still available from amazon.ca.

Yes he is, and has been for three hours, additionally, his pre-orders were up for about as long as Sonic, Mega Man, and Sheik. So no. He will probably not be rare.
They're on Amazon.ca right now.

Amazon is a reliable source, unless you are an In the box collector because usually the boxes come banged up. If you have prime it comes quick like in 2 to 3 days. Think you said link or kink not sure.
You can already pre-order them on Amazon.
My go to fighter is: a toss up between Link who is on my video games wishlist and Robin from the Fire Emblem: Awakening game.
Smash link is used on amazon for $11 from three sellers right now

If you're in the US like me, it may cost you a bit in shipping but it's going to end up FAR less than what he'll go for on eBay.
On the other hand if you want to play on the risky side, you could wait and see if he ends up in stores in the next 3 days like people are saying.

Here's how I have my options set up:
When I get a notification, I just go to the page and see if it's different from when I added it (or, you know, if it's a good price like MSRP). I don't diff it or view changes. I only check when I get a notification.
R u doing it on a computer or a phone? I use chrome on my laptop. I search the person I want. For example this is the pit page.

Make sure you're logged in and your 1 click is right then when some one post or just randomly check and when it's available you got to hit that 1 click button fast. Sometimes it will go out of stock but keep refreshing for a min or 2 and see if it comes back on. Does that help?

The prices are already about 10 bucks more than the other Amiibo. However, they seem to be the only really expensive ones. Wii Fit is still only 15 bucks if you wanna get her.

I couldn't order direct, so I had to use a site for me. I used Japamart to order for me and have it shipped to me.
I don't think they're being discontinued. I ordered a Sheik amiibo off of Amazon that's supposed to come out next month. They do have a Marth amiibo that's a Japanese import, though.
Hope this helps!

Marth on amazon.jp... should I buy? Doesn't seem possible for $10.
As of this post he's 29.99 with prime on amazon
Despite everyone mocking you, you can get Marth for somewhat close to $30.00.
Amazon has him for sale for $38.90

Right, (though luckily I was able to get one back during release. My collection is still going strong.) But what I mean is, even those amiibo that are getting rarer for the most part don't cost too much
I know we all hate scalpers, but he's <$30 on Amazon and even cheaper on eBay
So while he may not be common in stores, getting him online isn't too much of a hassle. Even the rare-er ones have become more manageable to get.
It's back up for MSRP, got a confirmation for march 11 shipping. heres the link
edit:sorry, I spoke too soon, its gone
The megaman is backordered on amazon right now and you can still order it I think. http://www.amazon.com/Mega-Man-amiibo-nintendo-wii-u/dp/B00PG6ZCT2/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1425663564&amp;sr=8-2&amp;keywords=amiibo

I only see USA listings, and one japanese. The japanese version usually has it's own listing. Like the japanese megaman is called rock man on amazon.

That list updates faster than the main page with the other Amiibos selectable. When you see one for 12.99 sold by Amazon at the top, just buy it in a hurry with the buttons on the right.
Amazon has a Japanese one for $17. Im sure you can probably fond cheaper.
King Dedede amiibo - Japan Import (Super Smash Bros Series) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00PIEHU74/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_zjZByb1MEFDNM
Meanwhile, the average price of a Smash Bros. variant Dedede amiibo imported from Japan is about $15. And the Smash Bros. Meta Knight goes for over $20, while the Kirby variant goes for $5.
I probably wasn't gonna use Amazon.jp, just listings like this or this with Prime shipping to get the ones I want at just a slight markup (or in the latter case, a slight discount compared to MSRP). Thanks for showing me amiami!
Risk a Japanese Dedede here: http://www.amazon.com/amiibo-Dedede-DESIGN-1/dp/B00PIEHU74/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1449862202&amp;sr=8-1&amp;keywords=dedede
As of 12.11.15, hes 15.60 with free shipping
If you want it bad enough and your brother is an out of box collector, you can get an import for as cheap as ~$16 which is plenty reasonable for a rare amiibo.
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00PIEHU74/ref=cm_sw_r_other_awd_CnGBwbTSC4FJF
Amiibo aren't region locked so it shouldn't matter that it's Japanese if he's gonna open it and use it. If it has to have the US box however then he's hard to find cheaper than $35.
Good luck in your search and Merry Christmas.
Here you go, Amiibro!
King Dedede is on amazon (assuming you are in the US) for a decent price with prime shipping
King Dedede - Kirby Series 11.99
King Dedede - Smash Series 16.82
DK will probably be a bit pricier
Play Asia - DK Mario Series 19.99 + shipping
I would suggest trying your luck on ebay (That's how I got mine after my original one got damaged), or on facebook marketplace and see if someone is selling their collection cheap near you. Be wary of googling amiibo, if you something that looks to be like a great deal [like finding a DK amiibo for 9.99 in stock where everywhere else it's over $25] it could be a scam site!

Have a look here. These are Japanese, but they are identical to the US versions (except for the Japanese Packaging)

> When you corner the market by buying up all the stock in your area, you're manipulating availability to capitalize on demand.
The thing is, anyone is able to do this. Most of the rare amiibo I've acquired I've gotten from just watching online retailers or by keeping an eye on stock trackers and heading over when they're in stock.
Plus, this is significant less relevant than 10-20 years ago, where I would be more inclined to agree with you. Now anyone with a bit of persistence can just sit at home and buy them. Since nearly every online retailer has limited orders to 2-3 of any given amiibo, this levels the playing field significantly.
Anyway, Pit just came in stock on Amazon. Buy one:

See, not so hard.
Not necessarily. It's hard to determine from just a single picture of a single item, but look at the symmetry and consistency of the item. It's more expensive than it seems for small plastic figures to have precision with really small amounts of error in placement and proportion. The plastic also seems at least decent quality; compare that to Nintendo's amiibos. The plastic, painting, the small shape chiseling, and consistency all look cheap, and this is almost $30. Granted it's more than just a figure, but you get the idea. Just because a figure is simple in design doesn't mean it's cheap. Nendoroids are really high quality figures with good consistency, detail, and plastic, but they're $30-50 bucks for a reason.
Bootlegs seem close at first glance, but their plastic quality, precision, and QA suffer because they're cheaper. It's really easy to tell a bootleg apart from the real thing, and they break quickly because of the plastic.
It's a horrible practice and a stain on the Nintendo name.
It's like you can't criticize Nintendo, ever, for anything.
The figurines aren't worth the money alone to a lot of us. We don't want them. We don't want to decorate our houses with figurines.
They are junk that is tied to digital content and their games.
As I said to someone else:
Imagine Battlefront 3 doing the same thing. EA would get roasted alive. Good luck getting Han, Luke, or Vader figurines.
In the case of BoTW, it's armor sets and weapons. One of my biggest gripes for that game is the limited amount of "cool" weapons and armor sets.
The cost to get the digital content is pretty outrageous.
But, it's Nintendo, so it's OK.

That's right, $26 for one figure.
That's worth it? For the actual figurine? $26?
