Charizard Amiibo - Japan Import (Super Smash Bros Series)

I intended to keep in original packaging but it was damaged. The amiibo is still brand new and looks good.

Its a Japanese imported Amiibo. It came in good condition and works perfectly fine. This is one of the easiest and arguably best ways to get your hands on Amiibo.

First off, the Rosalina Amiibo is very pretty. It has to be one of the best designed Amigos. The colors are accurate and very vibrant. The packaging is just as excellent-looking as well. Now for the price. I bought this back in February when Rosalina was released in Target stores all across the nation (she was a Target-only exclusive). Even before I could check for her, scalpers had already bought her out at every store in my state. My friend and I made phone calls and she was available no where. So I took to Amazon and bought her for $30 the same day because that same friend predicted she would skyrocket in price eventually. Her original price was $13-$15 like all the other original Amiibo prices. Im hoping Nintendo will produce more faster so she can be affordable for everyone again.

Got it for a Christmas gift. Son took it out of package and it doesnt work. It wont scan. VERY disappointing. UPDATE: was able to get replacement and it works fine. Moved from 1 star to 5 stars.

Although Nintendo has been actively been listening to fans by producing more amiibo [which was one reason why scalpers reduced their prices], yet again, they underestimate the popularity of all of their IP in Americas, including the ones more popular in Japan/Europe by still not producing enough amiibo. And thats why this review is getting 4 stars instead of 5. tl;Dr Great product, beautifully designed and high quality, but more expensive than it should be because of limited quantities and scalpers.
