Prices for rare Nintendo Amiibo figures are starting to skyrocket

Hard-to-find Amiibos are starting fetch a handsome sum on auction sites like eBay.

Nintendo has started something of a craze with its interactive figures based on its mascots that work with games like Mario Kart 8 and Super Smash Bros. for Wii U. Now, some of the rarest Nintendo toys are going for over $100, even if they retail for $13. That’s because the figures for Animal Crossing’s Villager, Wii Fit’s Wii Fit Trainer, and Fire Emblem’s Marth are sold out everywhere, and Nintendo has said that it is already planning on discontinuing some characters — although it hasn’t said which. This has people rushing to stores in search of Amiibos they can to either complete a collection or to turnaround and sell to someone else.
