Marth Amiibo Returns To Retail: End Of The Scalper?

Pixel Gate looks at the possible end of the scalper:

''The Amiibo line has been something I’ve been interested in from day one. I collect video games, and video game merchandise, so the Amiibo was right up my street. £10 for a decent little figure of the Smash Bros roster? Hell yeah, I was more than down for that. But little did I, or many others, know how crazy Amiibos would become.''

Shulk will also return with Xenoblade Chronicles. And he's not the only one. Big surprises in store for E3.

That's a given, I'm curious to see how restocks pan out though. Be cool for others to complete their collections

[GamerEuphoria]

What Marthellous news! But really, re stocks are a good idea. Might annoy some collectors though

[Kevlar009]

They should never have been collectors in the first place. That's what Gold Amiibo are for, not a base version of a character we may never see again.

[GamerEuphoria]

You get collectors of anything, Nintendo (more anyone) can't really control what's picked up as a collectible to be fair

[SliceOfTruth888]

No it wont because the reprint will not be worth as much as the original

[PixelGateUk]

There's no dates or time marks on Amiibos, or their boxes, so reprint isn't really valid like it would be with a book or comic etc

[GordonKnight]

Unless they make a Code Name Steam version.

[Wonder_Punk]

I wonder if they're gonna fix his derp face?

[PixelGateUk]

It's just a restock, not a resculpt so he'll be the exact same

[addictedtochaos]

Unlikely. Scalpers will just buy him up again.

Watch out Nintendo. Some customers payed 50 bucks for Marth. they won't be pleased. Also, the Amiibo hunt is part of the attraction, if that element dissapears, the end could be near.

[GordonKnight]

That's their fault for feeding scalpers. Besides in 5 year they won't be worth anything. Just like beanie babies. This always happens to items that are collectible when released. There were 5.7M sold just in a month and a half after release.

[Grilla]

Sry disagreed by accident. I agree, how many ppl are buying these just because they rare and hard to find.
