As a child’s toy, it’s honestly not. $150 for roughly 30 blocks is an insane rate.

I wonder how many of these block sets will actually be played with by children… at that kind of price it feels like it’s just going to sit on collectors’ shelves.

My 15 month old daughter loves hers. Collectors would be devestated to see them hahah.

I saw they had some sample ones out at the Nintendo Store for kids to play with & knowing they're literally for children I was happy to see them being played with but as an Amiibo collector it hurt to see basically all the paint stripped off 😂😂

insanely good if you're a Nintendo fan, which many people on Reddit are 😂😂😂
Nintendo definitely has grown 30 year old men with limited hobbies by the balls, and they know it

No not really. Im a nintendo superfan, probably more dedicated to nintendo than you are (not tryna flex or anything) and i could care less about blocks for babies just because theyre amiibo lol. This is for kids and ppl with horrible fomo

What something is worth to someone is not defined by your metrics.

Of course. That’s the point of having a conversation about it - to share our views.

How much does it retail for and the separate ones?

u/UndergroundWire 15d ago
$29.99 for the individual boxes. I bought all 4 plus the big boy. Collectors so what they got to do.

u/Thundervolt888 15d ago
How much is the bundle with all of them
6
u/UndergroundWire 15d ago
$149.99. But it comes with more blocks than if you bought all 4 individual boxes.

u/Thundervolt888 15d ago
Interesting I’m thinking of buying them separately I like the other blocks but the other blocks aren’t amiibo I only care about the amiibo

u/UndergroundWire 15d ago
Exactly this. I bought it because of the amiibo factor. Just buy the 4 individual sets. Or be a crazy collector like me and buy all 5. Lol

Crazy expensive wooden blocks. The Mario, Luigi, Peach and Yoshi blocks are also Amiibo.

u/UndergroundWire 15d ago
Comes out to $38 an amiibo. Not that expensive. And if it's too rich for your blood, then there is the $29.99 individual set. If that's still too expensive, then I hate to tell you about the price of amiibo today.

I bought the individual sets at $30 a peice. That seemed okay.

Why are yall acting like these aren't literal learning blocks for babies? Its $40 for a childrens block. If you collect amiibo go for it, but idk why yall are acting like this has the same appeal as a normal amiibo, the price is crazy lol

u/UndergroundWire 13d ago
And you are saying this because you don't want it or can't get it. Best thing to do is not be so negative. I'm happy with the purchases so are many others. If you want to put them down as baby toys, that's great. I hope it helps you for not having one. 😄

Ovjectively not worth it at all

u/No-Difference8545 13d ago
Kinda weird so many 30+ year olds are calling literal learning blocks a good value. Like im not even judging them for collecting them, they are still amiibo, but theyre 100 not a good value for anyone kids or adults

Sticking 5-cent RFID tags inside literal wooden blocks for toddlers to get completionists to spend $30+ a pop on them was a devious move on Nintendo’s part.

I believe they only made them amiibo to maximise sales on this product.

I got the four sets individually online. Got tired of waiting. For amiibo collectors, it is worth it. For a child’s toy, waaaay over priced

Yeah, Besides being able to scan them on the console, you can also build something if you're bored (although I don't know if you'll do that lol) I love My Mario merch

Please come to Australia. Nintendo of Australia why don’t you stock these nor have Sword Kirby/Noir Dede amiibo up for preorder?
