So does this mean you're going to make one?Encryption doesn't mean a thing in this case. You could simply record the signal and play it back, probably just use a scope I don't believe there is anything active inside those, it's basically RFID. And a C&D letter? Having been on the receiving end of plenty, they mean nothing.
NFC Tags (as these toys ARE NOT powered):
Near-field communication devices operate at the same frequency (13.56 MHz) as HF RFID readers and tags. The standards and protocols of the NFC format is based on RFID standards outlined in ISO/IEC 14443, FeliCa, and the basis for parts of ISO/IEC 18092. These standards deal with the use of RFID in proximity cards.
- Low Frequency (LF) 125 -134 kHz
- High Frequency (HF)13.56 MHz <---------------------------------NFC and RFID
- Ultra High Frequency (UHF) 856 MHz to 960 MHz
And these are the standards supported by Android devices, maybe not native,
but you can build software for:
NFC-A (ISO 14443-3A)
NFC-B (ISO 14443-3B)
NFC-F (JIS 6319-4)
NFC-V (ISO 15693)
ISO-DEP (ISO 14443-4)

What mixelpixx is true, I'm not really sure if amiibo needs your Wii U to be connected to the internet or not, but if it doesn't connect to the internet you can just record the signal of a amiibo figurine and clone it to use the recorded signal on another console..
On a side note RFID recording is possible portably... I.e. picking up somebody's speedpass for Exxon and getting free gas.... Or walking down the toy store aisle and recording up to 100's of amiibos... The possibilities.... Just dont expect the Google Play Store to host your app lol. Would b nice to pick an amiibo on your mobile and then bam, done....
Aaaaaaactually, this is not possible, and I'm certain its probably to prevent something like what you guys are talking about from happening. Anyway, the current security measures inside an Amiibo box is a small 1"x1" (ish) sheet of tin foil at the bottom inside the packaging that prevents communication with anything.
A C&D letter? Having been on the receiving end of plenty, they mean nothing.
And this is the day that pirates are even pirating physical figurines.
Wow....
Come on, their 15 quid.
Prolly cheaper when buying them second hand later on...
Fox, Samus, Pit, Mega Man, Mario, Rosalina, Little Mac.. all these seem to be worth it. Except for Link, what the hell have they done to him?!Retail is 15 quid.
Online is a tenner yeh.
Eh, I'll get the Pit one for sure, prolly just for placing it on me shelves of games ;p
