We’ve known for a while now that certain Amiibo figures will be more rare than others, but a Samus amiibo misprint has taken the rarity cake. The original customer found the Samus double-cannon amiibo at Best Buy and quickly recognized it was different from the others. From there, he decided to sell the figure on eBay<\/a>, which reached a whopping $2,500 in bids once it went live.<\/p>\n

According<\/a> to Adam Truesdale, the original owner of the misprint, he would have donated it to Nintendo if asked, but decided to generate some cash from the misprint, especially considering Samus is a popular character.<\/p>\n

However, if approached by Nintendo, I probably would have [donated it]. I was considering hanging on to it to sell at a later date if the value did increase. However, with the high level of interest shown at the time when I posted it, I thought I’d go ahead and sell it now in case the value went down or a whole tub of them was discovered at a later date.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Truesdale started the bidding at $50, just under four times the normal cost of the $13 figure. From there, 19 people on eBay rapidly bid against one naother to raise the price up to $2,500. If you’re going Amiibo shopping, keep an eye out for defects.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
