    Amiibos are so awesome. What makes them so awesome is how vague they’ve become, and they’ve gathered an aura of mystery about them. And the older they get the more value they’ll gain.

      Congrats on falling victim to their stupid scheme to milk even more money out of you. 16 Amiibos at the base price of $12.99 is $207.84 before taxes. That means you spent over $200 for silly physical DLC, potentially much more depending on whether you shelled out to scalpers or not.

      You can't see it, but there's a teeny tiny chip into the bottom of the character (not the case with amiibo cards). You see the base? There's a NFC chip over there, which you can look by tampering with the figurine, which you REALLY don't want to.
