Amiibos

[LostWanderer]

Where do I buy these from? I'm in the UK

I looked on Amazon but I don't think those listed on there are legit as they are 72 cards for £49. That seems too cheap for a Nintendo product! Those are mini amiibo cards.

I've looked on the Nintendo website but what's on there is out of stock and not a good selection.

Where should I be looking? My friend bought some off Etsy but these just look like copies.

I bought the ones on amazon. The mini amiibos on amazon aren’t real, but they work the same as the real ones.

Can buying none legitimate ones ruin your game? I can't find anywhere to buy the Nintendo versions

almost everyone I know who uses amiibos have bought them off etsy and they work completely fine! it doesn't matter whether they're the 'legit' nintendo ones or not (I could be wrong but this is purely off experience)

I've bought mine from etsy as well. If you look hard enough you'll be able to find fan made drawn up fanart of some cards, if you don't want the typical art Nintendo uses.

The seller I got my cards from no longer has their etsy but I bought from them twice, plus my sis has so we can both vouch that the cards work perfectly fine, it doesn't matter if they aren't Nintendo official. If you're concerned with your cards not working, look throu the persons reviews. You can also see how long they've had their store for and how many sales they've made so far, incase you wanted to see stuff like that.

I have bought cards on Amazon before, the prices are really wack. Someone like Julian or Stiches could be anywhere from 20-40$ USD (no I'm not even exaggerating) but others like Tipper or Goose could be 96 cents and shipping would cost more than the cards itself does (again, not an exaggeration I have literally bought Tipper & Goose cards for dirt cheap).

Non-legitimate ones are fine.

I’d much rather order off Etsy than buy the Nintendo official. I have little coins I bought, they’re much easier to store and I got to choose who I want.

The majority of my cards come from CEX, they’re second hand but they’ve all worked perfectly fine

 

[HollySeeker]

I've made my own amiibo coins and they work fine! I've had no issues with them. I was going to look at selling some on ebay/etsy but that's a lot of effort and I work full time.

I have official ones and I was given some as a present from Etsy. Both work exactly the same and you can’t tell the difference.

I am mostly disappointed when you buy packs of cards as you rarely get the villagers that you actually want. At least when you buy individual cards you can choose who you want. I much prefer that and it is how I got a few of my dreamies
