The Kirby Air Riders Amiibo figures have recently surfaced on retail websites, each priced at an eye-popping $49.99. This price point has left some fans stunned, hinting at a drastic shift in the pricing landscape for Amiibo collectibles.

The game, Kirby Air Riders, an arcade racer co-created by Bandai Namco and Sora, is expected to launch on November 20. As is customary for Nintendo titles, this Switch 2 exclusive will feature themed Amiibo figures as well.

Pricing Details

During the recent Nintendo Direct, it was announced that two different Amiibo figures will be available:

• Kirby & Warp Star - $49.99
• Bandana Waddle Dee & Winged Star - $49.99

These prices mark the highest ever for Amiibo in the United States, surpassing the retail price of the game itself, which will be sold for $69.99.

The new Amiibo figures allow fans to mix and match characters and vehicles, suggesting the potential for more similar collectibles that emphasize customization options. With the recent uptick in Amiibo prices, fans wonder how much they are willing to pay for these collectibles, which have escalated from an average cost of $12.99 in 2014 to now nearly $50.
