Which one are you looking at?
I'm looking at this one, here.
Wave 4.

They're going to be released next week in UK and I assume retailers such as ShopTo, Amazon and Zavvi (+ Nintendo Store, TheHut) will be dispatching them on or before the release date. I remember getting Mega Man & Sonic 3 days before its official release date.

so if you are selling them, how much would you sell the zero suit amiibo once it arrives

I'll let you have Zero Suit Samus for £10.99 + £5 shipping.

well this price is almost the same of importing one from japan or USA, o3o so is relatively good xD now its deppent how much the shipping ... you can look it for me? maybe I can afford this XD

I've checked and shipping to Brazil is same as US, £5. The amiibo's £10.99.

$23.79-ish (as per XE).

Well, if he is interested then send me a PM or post in this topic.

I still have the 2 Greninja amiibos available for anyone who wants. The rest are all taken now -- 4 for me, 8 for a friend and 1 for a US Twitter dude.

Yeah, I'm not going to be an ass and sell them for 3-4 times the price like eBay sellers would even though I could.

I found about half a dozen Ness amiibo yesterday at a Target, and was so tempted to get one- just because I knew they were going to be a rarity. But ultimately, I came to my senses. They should be for people who actually want a Ness amiibo. Not some douche who just hoards valuable and/or rare things just for collectors' sake. I'm proud of not being that douche.

"pre-order over 100"
Given that is not all that impressive a number I have to assume Nintendo's supply of the things has been capped something fierce.

On the other hand destructoid do seem to have caught the kotaku bug of late.

    @ColdBlitz, i forgot breath of the wild released for the Wii u

    $60 for a game that's a decade old might be unheard of on PC but actually is not uncommon on consoles

  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    especially Nintendo because they only ever lower the price of games when they do a greatest hits/platinum hits/players choice re-release
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @The Real Jdbye, and the HD collections released for 7th gen consoles too
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    but they don't seem to have done any of those for the switch yet and maybe never will
  • ColdBlitz @ ColdBlitz:
    I think we all forgot breath of the wild released for the wii u tbh

  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @The Real Jdbye, tbh the HD collections are more justified since they include more than just 1 game per copy

    @SylverReZ I read that non-binary people identify as a blend of male and female. The point is i think i'm a blend of those and thus non binary
