Ways to buy this before scalpers ruin it for everyone?
Don't.

You are a scalper too.
Normally I'd say just wait a couple months for demand to die down and stores to get restocks in, but that'll put us ass-deep into Christmas season, so just wait until New Year's I guess. Last January is when I got Smash Bros. Link for $7, and Ganondorf & Ryu each for $4.

I'm so happy that i got one
Exactly how is this retro? Amiibos are a recent thing.

It's a toy related to a series that has retro games and not related to a specific non retro title.

Toys about retro games aren't retro?
>>4246195
Aren't these only hard to find at release but get cheap months later?

Metroid 2 remake is not retro
>b-but it's a remake of a retro game!
So I guess we can also discuss Bionic Commando Rearmed, a 360/ps3 game, since it is also a remake of an old game?

There was a REmake thread a few days ago and nobody gave a shit, thus, other remakes are also accepted.

We're talking about a toy here, buster. Do you not understand the difference between a toy and a video game?

If you look closely, you'll see that the figurine features a pod resembling that seen in the opening sequence of Super Metroid. This makes it a directly referential piece of merchandise for a retro game, even if the format of the amiibo certainly isn't retro per se.
I also would have placed this one on a different board, but I wouldn't go all "REEEEEEEE NOT RETRO" over it.

Remakes are discussed all the time newfag. That said, an amiibo, even of a retro character, is towing the not retro line.

Look at the millennial throw his memes. The packaging doesn't mention the new game at all...

With exception to the truly limited release ones like the Zelda anniversary ones.

If you ever frequent the Nintendo thread at /toy/ they go gaga over the Metroid figures of the World of Nintendo line. They're apparently always rare and restocks sporadic at best. I wonder if some of that fervor is spilling over to the Metroid amiibo.

Buy it off me on Ebay. I'll give you at a discounted price, only $400. :,)

Put an onahole in it and sell porn.
Why couldn't they stick to the original design, ugh.
>>4250765

Why couldn't you stay at reddit?
>>4250771

That's not the original design, though.
