None of the amiibos in Japan or EU is as rare as it is in the US

I'm not collecting just one, but two for the bf.
Managed to get an extra marth for him as he only wants the Fire Emblem Characters.
I managed to snag a Toon Link and Rosalina ( which i may trade for Lucario)
Is it as rare overseas as it is here in the states to find them?

The answer is no. Not even close.

Here's a picture form a store in Germany someone posted on Reddit before. Even NWS doesn't look like this -- just not enough of any of these (besides Peach, Kirby, and Pikachu) ANYWHERE in the states.

Does no one else just think in the end they will all be common?

There are some rare ones in the UK, we also don't seem to get them any where near as fast as you guys do.

Stores have also started to put up the price and be a bit naughty.

I wanna cry when I see a pic like that. So jelly.
I wish they weren't such a money suck to import.
I would import all the ones I am missing Like Villager, Little Mac and Pit.

We are still waiting for the rest of Wave 3 here to release.
People here buy them up and then resell them for $50, its crazy.
Lucky the most I paid was $20 for a EU Marth.

I'm jelly on your price..

Retail price in Denmark is 149 DKK = 25 dollars..

Ya, here we pay $12.99 USD for one, that before any discounts like Best Buy.
So that's why it's s pricey to import.

That pic could be from the Saturn market here in the city ^^

It's really crazy that the amiibos are so damn rare in the US. :/
Is there any region lock coming with the amiibos ? Can EU amiibos be used on US consoles without any problems ?

Thetof91 · #**209** 02-06-2015, 08:56 PM

I think they rare because they cheap in first place and then there all these people that scalp..

I don't think any scalp in Europe..

There is no region lock.. Only difference is text on the box

No region lock. I have a EU Marth.
They are not region locked. And since they are so cheap people buy mass amounts then resell for $50 because they have bought them all up.
Then when a gamer like me comes along that only wants a certain few we are either forced to buy at hijacked prices or import for $35 a piece.

I wish they were cheaper to import.
