Sorry Prime Day, these $6 Nintendo amiibo deals at GameStop are the best Switch savings around

The best Prime Day Switch deals are just around the corner, and yet it's GameStop, not Amazon, that is rolling out some of the best deals I've ever spotted when it comes to amiibo.

A huge range of amiibo figures are now just $5.99 at GameStop, new and old. Some of my favorite figures from the entire 940+ line, like the Kingdom Hearts Sora Smash Bros release, are included in the sale, and I've never seen him in his glorious big red pants this cheap before. In the UK, a lot of these amiibo have been out of stock for months, and can only be found at extortionate after-market prices, so I can't emphasize to US Nintendo fans enough the importance of grabbing these while you still can.

Do you need a GameStop Pro membership to buy these amiibo?

You do not need a GameStop Pro Membership in order to pick any of these discounted amiibo. All of these $5.99 amiibo, and the other figures that are available from $15.99 at GameStop, are available to anyone in the US.

Are there any rare Nintendo amiibo?

What amiibo figures people deem as 'rare' can depend on a lot of factors, namely availability. Nintendo will occasionally do restocks via its official US and UK storefronts, which helps make previously hard-to-get figures more accessible, but there are a few that are prone to becoming fodder for resellers.

I always recommend grabbing amiibo from the rarer Nintendo properties and games you love, which rarely have merch of their own. For example, the Banjo & Kazooie amiibo included above sold out quickly here in the UK, and it, along with the Joker and Sephiroth figures, would be the ones I suspect will be harder to find at retail prices in the months and years to come.

Ever since I first held a NES controller in my hand I've been obsessed with gaming, and the hardware it runs on. I could hook up a NES and SNES to a telly, without instructions, before I could walk. Even now, nothing is more exciting then taking a console, or handheld, out the box for the first time and setting it up. This obsession transformed into a love of games and game music, which lead to my music degree and dream of becoming the Scottish Nobuo Uematsu. After sharing my love of games through music, I began to share my love through words on sites like TechRadar and iMore. This lead to becoming a Hardware staff writer for PCGamesN, and later the Senior Tech Writer for Dexerto, covering all things Steam Deck, PlayStation and Nintendo. With that experience, I was able to level up as Hardware Editor for GamesRadar+, where I'm still just as Nintendo, PlayStation and gaming tech obsessed as ever.
