In fact, as I write this, you can pick up a healthy amount of the more rare figures for RRP. Prices are coming down on Amazon, and a lot of other independent retailers are following suit as more stock makes its way into the hands of hungry hunters. The bubble has been burst.So, does Nintendo plan to ease up on amiibo production and concentrate on, oh, I don't know, making some games?
