Kirby Amiibo - Japan Import (Super Smash Bros Series)

It arrived 13 days for the expected delivery date, very pleased with the shipping speed! And Im glad I only spent $20 on this Japanese import Amiibo. Im also pleased that I bought this before the actual day its supposed to come out here in the US. Sadly I couldnt preorders these because the stupid server crashed in game stop. But now that I finally have charizard in my hands Im pleased! And soon I have a Robin and Lucina Amiibo coming in soon that are also Japanese imports. And next Im going after Pacman and Wario. While ness Ill deal with last. And as for this Charizard I have in my hands right now is awesome and its kicking butt in my team! Charizard will soon have a mind of its own and it will be unbeatable when its maxed out!!

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.

Before the main review starts, I wanted to point out that I was lucky enough to get this for about 23 bucks with shipping charges, which is really nice, the problem I have is that, while the figure itself was not damaged, the box was even to the point of ALMOST being opened, (The cardboard flap you tear off to remove the plastic was partially ripped open, but its not like the thing came in out of the box) The other problem I had was the product was said to be brand new (Keep in mind this is a Japanese import directly from Japan, so maybe I was just unlucky with transit damage, but thankfully the figure was fine) I am however VERY happy that I got this VERY RARE amiibo for a great price as I said beforehand, imports are always the better and cheaper route in most cases with rare amiibo, besides, they are region free But by now even imports of Marth have gone up Overall, the service and delivery could have been better (Which is why this is 3 stars) but otherwise, the product and price was wonderful, just keep these things in mind when you order

Bought two. It beat my friend who mains her really bad. And bought him one. Its nice. For some reason they down air a lot.

Looks great in the collection but the prices for this one on Amazon are outrageous. Better off shopping elsewhere.

Great!

It comes as it is supposed to but I think it is a fake or something because it does have some small flaws but not super noticeable.

The Rosalina and Luma Amiibo was, in the United States, a Target exclusive item. Meaning nowhere else stocked it. Nintendo does that with each wave it seems. Target wasnt very good about restocking, so lots of people missed out. This is, as Im sure youre trying to figure out, your second chance. Nintendo did NOT region lock the Amiibo toys, so unlike most games and accessories you can use this Japanese import on your American WiiU. I assure you, it will work. The only difference between this and the American version is the language on the box. The system doesnt even register it in Japanese, so its fine to get. I know thats a concern when deciding to buy something lkke this for someone else and you dont really know and dont want to screw up.

At first I thought it was gonna be bad i was wrong the quality is so good on the amibo its one of my personal favorites actually

I bought this figure online because I figure it will be impossible to get when it releases in the U.S. Even though it would retail at $12.99, I thought around $30 isnt THAT unreasonable for an imported product, and I know these will skyrocket in price once the U.S shipments are gone. The figure itself is very nice, better than I thought it would be actually. Zero Suit Samus is one of my favorite characters so I had to have this amiibo even if it did come at a higher price than usual. If you dont mind paying more for this figure, then I would suggest doing it as soon as possible, because especially with fan favorite characters, the price only goes up from here.
