Splatoon Raiders is finally out in the wild, which means the brand-new amiibo, which feature brand-new figures based on the iconic Deep Cut trio, are too.
Anyone who didn't pre-order these fabulous new renditions of Shiver, Big Man and Frye might first resort to retailers like Amazon to grab them today, but I'd advise against it if you don't want to overpay. While listed for £49.99 at Nintendo, they're currently as high as £57.07 at Amazon, which is a little over £7 more than they should be. As it stands, £50 is already a big ask for the trio if you're only after one character, so unless you don't mind splashing more cash than you need to, I recommend grabbing the newest figures straight from Ninty today.
The Deep Cut trio can be displayed separately or connected together to form one big Splatoon Raiders display. Tapping them on your Joy-Con will unlock exclusive outfits in-game too.
Just in case anyone didn't know, the official Nintendo online store remains the best place for grabbing new amiibo in the UK. Time and time again, the official storefront has been pretty reliable for posting the latest figures (Resident Evil amiibo excluded) and ensuring they're not a penny over, which is also the case for this latest Splatoon Raiders set of collectibles.
While mine hasn't arrived yet (hurry up, postman), I made sure to pre-order the set on the Nintendo site months ago, far before the game in fact. That's because I knew that I could get them for their full £49.99 price rather than having to give in to re-sellers later if they happened to sell out. Thankfully, that's not been the case, and they're readily in stock as of typing these very words, which I recommend you jump on over alternatives like Amazon.
I know the additional £7 on the Amazon listing isn't a huge deal, but the set is already pretty pricey to begin with. As someone who's been collecting the things for over a decade, I'd much prefer fellow amiibo and Splatoon fans get a hold of them for as little as you can - and the listing price at Nintendo is exactly that.
If you're US-based, you can actually buy the amiibo separately while we're stuck with a triple pack. Shiver, Big Man, and Frye are available for $24.99 at GameStop each, which is pretty much the price you can expect across a wide range of US retailers until any future deals wash ashore.
