I've seen amiibo discounted in Asda but YMMV. Other than that, they're £10.99 pretty much everywhere atm.
As for MK8 Deluxe, I'd wait for the end of the month when the new wave of Switch stock comes. There might also be additional unit allocation given to retailers to drop the price back to RRP for MK8.
What is the RRP for MK8D? Can't be much lower than £42?
Xbox Live reductions for some at the moment for £26.50. Either directly from your console or from the Xbox website. Click Xbox Live from main tab, then Join Xbox Live and if you're eligible it should be discounted to £26.50. You should also be able to stack it which is what I've just done for two years worth.

The RRP will probably be above £42. Probably £50 , judging by the Nintendo UK store prices for the game.

Do you mean any in particular or a retail that consistently sells for under £10?
Amazon is largely algorithm based but some amiibo have rather volatile prices (newer smash bros, animal crossing, some super Mario). Just look up the price history on camelcamelcamel. Of course the £20 free delivery is a bit of a pain if you're not a prime.

Sorry I'm misremembering the price because I ordered it with the BIGTHANKS code awhile back. £42 is the lowest at the minute then for sure, it started at £44.99.
Fire Emblem Echoes LE is available in amazon DE: https://www.amazon.de/dp/B06XSGFB42/
They ship outside Germany, got mine just in case.

Don't even know if I want this but that's a really cool LE. Ordered just in case
Awesome cheers, I used Amazon DE for my Fates LE and it all worked out well so I've stuck an order in for Echoes.

Don't really want it, but ordered just in case. Wish it had a steelbook included.
There's just a single edition for Europe. It will have all languages, even on the boxart.
At the same time, the game box itself won't have any age ratings on the front, unlike the regular edition.

Thanks man, been waiting for this!
It should! Nintendo Le editions are normally efigs!
Yes, it will. They only make one LE for all European countries, so the box is also multi-language.

See those USK and PEGI rating logos on that box? Means it's the same box for all of Europe.
No worries - I'm on Prime so with the pre-order discount, I get it for £40 and I'm trading in Horizon today for £29 so I barely pay anything!

Yikes. More than I paid for the fates LE, no thanks

So a strange thing happened today, allow me to put my tinfoil hat on for just a second.
Yesterday I read about Argos having Halo Wars 2 for £25. So I go to check stock and not one Argos in all of Northern Ireland had a copy. So I reserved it and it said it would be 5 days.
I went up today to buy Mass Effect and while I was waiting I checked up the price of Halo Wars 2 to show my friend, Argos had it back up at £42. So I ask a member of staff and they said that was strange to have a discount for such a short period of time but they will honour my reservation price when it comes in stock again.
I just happened to check the stock levels and every store in N. Ireland had copies, many copies, ready to pick up. I asked could I pick up my reservation but was told it's not in stock, showed them that it is when you check the £42 version.
They got the manger down who apologies and said don't worry about it and sold me it for £25. Which was a great result. Super nice staff couldn't understand what was going on.
I just got the vibe Argos were pulling a GAME like stunt, (where they advertise new games as cheap when they are out of stock, So you just you buy the preowned copy (which is usually more expensive) instead.) and running the promotion to get people interested, knowing they have no stock then bumping the price up when they do.
Anyone else noticed this with Argos before? And anyone get this deal with no issues yesterday?

I hope that's just a place holder price.
Ah shit, they included two Amiibos in the LE. It probably drove the price by 30€.

Honestly, Argos just cock things up now and again. Like the mis-price on COD:IW Legacy before release.

cdkeys.com. Better deals are on the more expensive cards. A £50 wallet code will cost you just under £44 with the 5% code from their Facebook page.
Thanks for pointing that. They are on the box but didn't see them mentioned on amazon page. I may consider it.
Ah, they have the listings but are all sold out.
If there's one near you pop in and see what they have.
I picked up the zelda related ones (excluding the BoTW ones) for about 10 euro in total

Did GameSeek ever sell any more of those switches for 199? I remember ppl being excited that they said they would but never heard if they actually did.
Likely they had a set amount of release day stock and got the go ahead from the publisher to sell at a lower price (they would receive credit to make up the difference).
Then they order a batch of new stock but because it isn't a new game any more they get much better terms - maybe even sale or return on that batch. For accounting purposes the different batches likely get separate stock numbers.

Don't think you'll find the physical version for much cheaper, NISA games rarely drop hard. Digital will probably go lower with time
Thanks a lot, going to get it along Disgaea 5. One more question though. I'm buying from amazon and selected odin sphere+disgaea to come in the same package to avoid extra shipping costs, but its the last copy of odin they have and disgaea is in backorder, and i'll have to wait for it to be available for both to be shipped, does amazon secure that one copy of odin and same price?

I ask myself the same thing every time I'm in a situation like this, and I actually never really got a clear answer. It's a dumb situation
I'd order individually unless it's super expensiveNachtfalke

Done that a couple of times and Amazon (Germany) almost always sent out the game they have in stock first and the other one later. It's not a guarantee, but it can happen.

Oh you're right, this happened to me last time too. One game was not in stock and even though I selected ship together they came separately without extra cost
Currency locked I believe.
Yes, I think so. You can't use a German card in the Austrian store for example.
I thought Euro cards were Euros cards?
Apparently there's more than that
Yeah that's what I thought. Sigh.
I found some cheap ass italian psn cards but I have a french EU account. Oh well.
Afaik not. If you buy a German card in Euros, you can only use them in the German store with a German account.
With the PS3 it was no problem to use accounts from different countries and still play the games you bought with your main account. Don't know if that still works with the PS4.
I can confirm they'll be shipped separately, since Odin Sphere is already on shipping, though, they only took 2,50€ for shipping of the supposed 5€, a great move for them if they take the rest only on the next shipment. I dunno what's happened to the other Amazon, my last 10 game purchases from Amazon have been from IT, and I'm from Portugal, but they always seem to have the best prices, wish DE and ES would match.
Edit: Also, it was the day-one edition of disgaea, which comes in a special box with a soundtrack and art book, great buy for 30€
