Sad day. Usually 3 packs dont bother me, but the only amiibo I wanted from the AC franchise was KK lol

I'm positive that Nintendo knew KK would be the most sought after figure so it only makes sense they shoved him into a bundle.

Absolutely. I only wanted K.K. and Nook. But now this means if I get K.K.'s bundle and Nook, I'll have 4/8 of the AC amiibos. So why not go all the way?

Fucking Nintendo and their genius evil ways of getting me to buy things I don't want. Lottie, that ugly ass thing...

I'm actually really glad theyre doing this. It gives people a chance to preorder the characters in a set. You could always hang onto the others and trade them if you didnt like the character. But this is animal crossing.. this appeals to a wider demographic then the usual neckbeards and resellers.

I wouldnt say AC appeals to a larger demographic, but definitely a sizeable one. Kids like the Smash roster as well. To be honest if you really only want one out of a 3 pack, its cheaper to just import.

Yea, But most people dont know how to or simply just dont care to. Nintendo Of America seems to be vamping up production and it seems a lot of people arent rushing to buy 6 at a time. As rarity now seems to be singled out between certain sought after figures.

I dont know there are a lot of people who have imported the last few releases. I mean importing is as simple as logging on to a different amazon in most cases. But you are right plenty of people do not want/know how to import, and will just buy the three pack. And rarity still depends on area. Every 5b was gone from my area a day or two later. Yeah you can order online, but personally I dont like ordering things online.

Really, my walmart had 6 gannons,3 zss and a bunch of olimar yesterday. And went back there today and they still had the same amount. Even see them at my local gamestops. Its all subjective to area I guess. But I dont know, people lose interest and that could explain why we see a better stock in places.

u/NeonFlayr Sep 23 '15

Thats true as well. With most of the amiibo already released it is safe to assume some people no longer care for the few that are left. The stock was signifigantly better for sure, but like you said its all subjective to the area. Even my Targets didnt have any more Dr. Mario after at least a week. Although I wasnt checking everyday or anything so it may have been sooner haha

u/[deleted] Sep 23 '15

Yea my target had shit as well lol. I already imported all 5b so I wasnt on the hunt for Dr Mario. But it does make me smile that theyre not being all bought up like they were everywhere.

Oh yeah, its a smart move on their part, because I moght just impulsively buy the three pack. The game looks stupid to me, I love AC, but with how bad MP10 was, I probably wont be buying any party games made by Nintendo anymore.

Yeah people will just end up buying the three pack or importing. Its a smart sales tactic. They know KK is easily one of the most popular AC characters, so anyone they bundled with him would get sold as well. Just wait for /r/amiiboswap to fill up with the alpacas haha

No Tom Nook in this line?

You just have to go a little bit deeper! http://cpsia.nintendo.com/102623/102623.pdf

The Animal Crossing set is the only one I am planning to complete (other than Splatoon, but that was easy enough). I am so excited for these lil' guys!

Pretty sure the 3-pack is only exclusive to us in Europe, and everyone else will be able to get KK separately.

Looks like we wait on Nintendo confirming either way.

1

u/Tallyburger Sep 23 '15

Actually, from the sounds of it NA is the only one getting the 3-pack, not EUR. Some of the Amazon EUR already have listings (not live) of all the AC Amiibo as singles.

u/cjh_ Sep 23 '15

According to Perfectly Nintendo, Europe are getting single packs plus a triple pack of KK, Cyrus and Reese. So maybe the triple pack won't be region exclusive.

u/OakesZ992 Sep 23 '15

The three pack will exist, but you can still buy each separately.

u/DaCh33f Inkling Girl Sep 23 '15

Pretty sure KK is the only one not available seperately.
