These days we’re used to hearing about price increases, but in the case of amiibo, it looks like there’s a bit of a cut happening.
For now the news seems to be for three specific upcoming figures. First, for Meta Knight’s Kirby Air Riders amiibo, this was initially priced at $49.99, but is now down to $44.99. We also know that Mario will soon have his own figure along with Rosalina for Super Mario Galaxy. They were initially set at $39.99, but have dropped to $34.99.
Basically, you’re saving $5 here. The new prices have been reflected at major retailers like Amazon, Best Buy, and GameStop.
Back in August, Nintendo announced price increases for several products (we have the full list here). Not much was spared as even amiibo were getting a price hike. It’s interesting to see then that Nintendo is going the other way – even if it’s a bit, every dollar saved helps the consumer.
It remains to be seen what amiibo pricing will look like in the future. But it’s worth noting that with the Super Mario Bros. Wonder amiibo (which you can pre-order here), they’ll be $25 a piece – cheaper than the Metroid Prime 4 ones of $30 (the one with Viola was $35 which makes sense given the size).
