Any chance SDM will have this?

Ouch. 150$ for both shipped to Ontario.

Any chance of either going on sale...

Tempted to get the Amiibo to sell with the game itself when I'm done with it. Never bought or sold an Amiibo before but seems like it might be a nice inclusion for when I sell.

Am I the only one who thinks these joycon look terrible?

Like, I love the LoZ franchise, and I actually really like the base colours they picked - I think the blue and the purple make a nice set. The gold accents on the other hand... I just think they look ridiculous and unnecessary. I'm really struggling with why people are clamoring for these things.

I would 100% buy them as a mismatched colour set if they were plain.

Just got both at Best Buy a minute ago. Move fast and you might still get them. Good luck.

Best Buy got 900 more units at their warehouse this morning so I'm starting to think that anyone looking to flip/scalp these is barking up the wrong tree, especially since two of the three stores here got 40 units each as well.

Walmart has 1,700 Joycons this morning as well. Has Nintendo finally solved the scarcity issue? Has my undying FOMO with Nintendo items finally been resolved?

This is pretty normal for limited edition Nintendo items. A popular franchise too on top of that.

Thanks OP, had been super worried I wouldn't be able to grab the Amiibo anywhere since I missed the pre-order.

Anything think this Ambiibo would be worth it for selling with Zelda in the future? Not looking for profit, just if it'd be worth including as I don't think I'd use it myself.. never bought an Amiibo before. Just odd that they locked the travel ability behind this one.

Yeah, kinda looks like a third party Mad Catz controller lol. I guess it's nice for the novelty of it.

Too bad joy-cons still drift :\

As I’ve told you on a number of occasions - price in title is not a forum rule. Also I was more concerned with getting the post up in case the item sold out to give members a chance at ordering. Speed sometimes trumps formatting niceties.

I’ll be sure to add the prices when I have time. Thanks for your concern.

Be kind and civil with one another

Serious question, why isn't the price automatically added to the title, in the same way the retailer is, since that piece of information has been and still is the most asked for?
Thanks

Went to EB Games for my preorder this morning. I was going to buy the joycons but they put an ugly price tag on the box that can't be removed without damaging it. Why do they do that???
