I'm a big Nintendo fan. Except for the NES (and the Virtual Boy, and the obscure Color TV Channels released only in Japan), I have every console they released, with lots of games. So, as a collector and a fan, when Nintendo anounced the Amiibos, my wallet itched. However, Brazil is quite ignored by gaming companies, and we don't find Amiibos in any place. However, there is the MercadoLivre, a sort of Brazilian eBay. But, akin to eBay, MercadoLivre's prices are often sky high, with Amiibos costing R$130 (~$48 USD), way higher than Disney Infitys (R$80) and Skylanders (R$75). For my surprise, I've got an e-mail promotion for an online shop with Amiibos for R$81!!! Instabuy!
They arrived yesterday, and by Odin, they awesome. I know they're waaaay cheaper on US, but for a price in the level of other gaming toys around here, I can't argue much. Yesterday I also bought something else, a 1/16" drill to finally open my models to customize!

Me and my brothers are so hooked on Super Smash Bros for WiiU we already have both leveled up to the max level. Now they're harder than level 9 CPUS!
