Over the past few months Nintendo’s little figurines, simply dubbed Amiibos, have been all over gaming news. Not only for their rarity, but for their interesting little factory defects that appear to raise the value.
Retailer listings indicate that there'll be a price increase for various Nintendo amiibo that have been announced for 2025.
$40 is absolutely ridiculous. $15 made sense, but you can literally get full on games for $40… what in the hell is going on?
$40? wtf that is insane. I got a few sometime ago and those things should be more like $15 tops for the quality of them. Nintendo going to Nintendo though, people will still pay $40 and scalpers will charge double that and idiots will still pay.

These "defects" are like golden tickets for eBay sellers.
There is no way that pit is a defect. Someone made that.
Genius marketing. I just wish the too low nose on my Villager was a defect and not crummy production.
