The deal is happening right now at GameStop, where the recently released Street Fighter 6 amiibo can be found for just $19.99, down from the normal $39.99. During the sale, Luke, Jamie, and Kimberly can all be snagged at the lower price point, and the amiibo card starter set has also been dropped by that same price. Several recently released amiibo based on The Legend of Zelda franchise have also been slashed to $19.99, including Sidon, Tulin, Yunobo, and Riju. However, it’s worth noting that those normally retail for $29.99, making it a smaller price drop.
Are These Amiibo Worth Buying?
If you’re a fan of Street Fighter or Zelda, these discounts are pretty hard to beat. $19.99 is a much more reasonable price than we saw at launch, and anyone that was on the fence before should have a much easier time committing to a purchase now. It’s possible we could see the prices go lower in the future; when the Animal Crossing amiibo weren’t selling, many retailers cut the prices in an effort to clear out stock. That was a long time ago though, and it’s unusual to see amiibo drop any lower than $10 to $15 these days.
The thing about amiibo is, once Nintendo clears out stock, it can take a long time for replacements to be offered. We’ve seen a lot of older amiibo make a comeback over the years, but many others have not gotten that same treatment. For example, the Metroid: Samus Returns two-pack from 2017 has never gotten a second printing, and prices on the secondary market command well over $100. The gold Mega Man amiibo packaged with Mega Man Legacy Collection is another one that hasn’t ever returned, and still commands prices of $60 to $80. If you really want these Zelda or Street Fighter amiibo, you might want to keep that in mind.
