The animal crossing amiibo didn’t do all that well outside of the big main characters but I believe the cards did pretty good.

Looks like Pyra/the other one was up on BB but sold out:

https://www.bestbuy.com/site/nintendo-amiibo-pyra-mythra-2-pack-super-smash-bros-series/6542569.p?skuId=6542569

Hasn't shown up on Target or Amazon yet.

Don't buy it from GS, just let that place die.

Had to pay $7 shipping, but secured the sword ladies. Only one more spiky idiot to go and then I’ll be freeeeee

Watch the new Switch be announced the same day the last amiibo comes out with launch day Smash.

There’s a decent chance Sora isn’t coming. Apparently the final update for SSBU didn’t add the data for a Sora amiibo in the way we saw data added for all the other characters.

Really?

If that were true, I would assume it was because Disney

That would almost certainly be the reason. Disney is notoriously difficult to work with on merchandising let alone licensing. I’d be surprised if Nintendo was willing to cut them in on the standard price of an amiibo.

Man those Mythra and Pyra Amiibo were hard as poo poo to pre order. Much worse than most of the recent ones. Wonder why?

I hate to tell you, but the date was yesterday. It was when any extras or day-of quantities went up for sale, not preorder.

Maybe they'll do a second run eventually.

Hey someone gave me a whole box of free amiibos, problem is a whole bunch of them have been custom painted for some reason, any ideas on the best way to get rid of the paint?

Probably depends on the paint.

I'm pretty sure you don't want to use acetone.

Maybe post pics?

Pretty sure I'm just going to sell all of them on ebay now. I have been freed.

One bullet. One gun. Six Chambers. These are my friends.
There's something called Simple Green that people use for taking paint off of Warhammer miniatures. It's relatively gentle, but of course removing paint from pure grey plastic is a little different. Might be worth getting a bottle of that and doing a test (soaking part of the figure for a few minutes then gently scrubbing with a toothbrush) on the least valuable Amiibo.

Aw man I’d feel bad about removing paint from some of them, they’re so cute, they tell a story about who used to own them

That black Kirby? Goku Ken? Trunks Cloud? Those are super cute, man.

For free, that's an amazing haul. How did you get them?

I'm guessing the non-painted are worth 1k or so, just from a quick look over. Same for the painted ones. Dunno if their value is higher or lower after the paint. Probably lower but...who knows what people think.

Did they paint Cloud up like a specific character or did they think he wasn't anime enough?

lots of the early SSB ones have never and likely will never get a reprint so who knows how insane their prices will get.
