Daily Debate: Would You Rather Buy The Champions amiibo Separately Or Packaged As One?
Posted on August 17 2017 by Andy Spiteri
amiibo fever has always been hit and miss with me. Yesterday, I picked up the Cloud and Zero Suit Samus amiibo, but my last purchase before then was some of the Breath of the Wild characters. Looking at my collection now, which consists of only about twenty or so figures, it made me realize that I’m pretty particular about the amiibo I’m willing to spend money on. I have to A) like the character, and B) it has to be a good looking amiibo (i.e. no big, yellow sticks).
Not only did I buy my first couple amiibo in a while yesterday, but in a blink-and-you-missed-it announcement, I saw a post letting us know that fans in Europe looking to pre-order the 4-pack set of Champions amiibo from Breath of the Wild could do so (for about five minutes anyway…). While that pack of amiibo hasn’t been announced for North America as of this writing, it seems likely that it will be soon.
This got me thinking however, for someone like me, do I want them all? Sure, Mipha and Urbosa are great, but Revali? Eh… The flip side is almost assuredly, buying them as one set will be cheaper than buying them all individually.
So I’ll flip it to you guys: where do you stand on this issue? Are you hoping that the 4-pack comes to North America? Would you rather pick and choose your Champions? Let us know in the comments below!
