Bargain Roundup: Third wave amiibo incoming – the hunt is on

The first wallet reckoning of 2015 is here with the third wave of amiibo launching on Thursday, January 29th here in Australia, well that’s if you can find any.

Normally our bargain roundups would a bunch of links to the stores both physical and online that are stocking said products covered. Not this time however as unless you pre-ordered you’re pretty much screwed on guaranteeing the amiibo you want. EB sold out ages ago, as did JB, other smaller retailers no longer have any listings for the third wave.

But the light at the end of the tunnel is Big W, not only do they say they’ll have the new amiibo figures but at the reduced price of $15. That’s still a whole $1 more than the last wave but we recommend being there early on Thursday if you missed out on the preorder.

We’ll update this story during the week and be sure to check out Twitter and Facebook pages for updates.

Help fellow Nintendo fans out together to defeat the evil scalpers.
