Why didn't Nintendo make enough of them? Now they're in short supply and they cost an arm and a leg. I want to buy some for Breath of the Wild.

Because Nintendo knows they can get away with that kind of shit.

Even the new Breath of the Wild Amiibos are a rare commodity. This is horseshit. Someone should reverse engineer those things.

How much are they? I have Shovel Knight and Fox McCloud Smash Bros. IIRC, $20 each.

Depends. I want the Breath of the Wild Guardian and that's like $50 on Ebay. Same for Super Smash Bros Link.

It's pretty much only the Zelda ones that are crazy expensive right now.

They are collectibles and are priced accordingly. If all you care about are the in game loot boxes then buy a $15 NFC action replay and you can have them all.

Because Nintendo always under-supplies the market to skyrocket prices.

Just get a powersave, it'll save you a lot of hassle in the long run if you want them just for Breath of the Wild bonuses.

But they're still selling them for $20, it's the people reselling them who are making the money off of them.

Heh, I guess I bought mine at the right time. Got it from GameStop for $15 a month ago now it's out of stock and $30. Still a better value than amiibos if you just want the functionality instead of displaying them.
