United States retailer Toys R Us is currently offering a free amiibo figure with the purchase of Super Smash Bros. for Wii U. The special promotion is only valid online and while supplies last, and it cannot be combined with other orders. Here’s how it works.

The Super Smash Bros. for Wii U game and one amiibo figure must be added to the online cart individually. During the checkout process, the price of the amiibo figure will be reduced to $0.00. It’s a free amiibo, amigo! Each amiibo has a suggested retail price of $12.99 — although prices may vary between retailers — so this is a terrific way to take advantage of a great deal. In addition to this offer, free shipping is included.

[Mariolee]

I'm jumping on this so hard.

 

[Zalman]

Great deal.

 

[brandonh83]

Cool, but I dunno they're only $12.99 and after shipping and stuff... well I'd rather just walk into a store and buy.

 

[James Scott]

Pretty nice deal. If you wanted an Amiibo and Smash you'd be saving almost 15 bucks.

 

[Azure J]

FUUUUUCK.

I have a 80 dollar preorder on Smash+GCN controller and adapter at Gamestop already. Does this deal stack with that?

 

[evilromero]

Damn. Does TRU have tax online?

 

[Kid Ska]

Do they have the GCN adapter bundle?

 

[exfatal]

So can i order this deal even though i'm in canada? also hoping this stacks with the gc adapter bundle

Added to OP. Thanks!

It would be less I think if you a GCU membership w/Best Buy.
Since the amiibo's count for the 20% off.

That's what I was wondering. Best Buy has become my go to place with the GCU.

 

[PeptoandWhiskey]

I would grab this if they had the gamecube controller bundle, but as far as I can tell they do not.

 

[Rogue_Ledr]

Preorders deals for a game that STILL doesn't have a release date?

Sheeeesh! Nintendo is really waiting till the last minute to announce the date, aren't they?

 

[MissileTrick]

To move my preorder or not , is the question now. A free Pikachu amiibo would be insanely nice.

 

[Balb]

They don't do midnight releases for certain games do they? I'd change my pre-order if they did.

Just got 3 emails saying that my amiibos preorders will arrive 11/21 from Amazon. Should I make a thread?

It's an online-only deal.

The game's real date was announced, unless this is an inside joke I don't know about.

uhh no. Release date is old news.

 

[spyroflame0487]

I'd jump on it for the Controller + Adapter bundle. For buying that we ought to get 2 Amiibos lol

 

[GiantBreadbug]

Is there in-store pickup? I wanna do this but no way am I waiting for these to be shipped to me.

 

[Neo Dark]

Cool, but I dunno they're only $12.99 and after shipping and stuff... well I'd rather just walk into a store and buy.

Shipping is free for orders over 45 dollars or something so it should be free. The only thing that's making me decide if I should jump on this order is I want to play it day one. Has anyone had experience with toys r us and if they ship early so you get it on time

 

[Pyrokai]

I would grab this if they had the gamecube controller bundle, but as far as I can tell they do not.

We need to find this out for sure, because if they do I'm jumping on it so hard.

 

[maxcriden]

I'm not sure. You'd have to look a bit more into it, or contact their online customer service. Online-only would make me think it's unlikely, but I guess it's possible.

 

[Chanser]

Europe has something similar, but you only get Mario amiibo.

Nice deal Toys r us.

 

[Busaiku]

Do they have store pickup?

 

[Rogue_Ledr]

Well OK looks like I just owned myself.

Once again it seems like I'm out of the loop about everything.

This game went so many months without having a release date and I was following the news so intently for a date announcement. Then it finally gets one right under my nose. Go figure!

Well anyway, this is a cool deal, but as the guy above said I'm still going for Gamer's Club Unlocked since its the better deal. Unless of course, TRU has a "Buy 2, Get 1 Free" deal running when this game releases. I doubt it though. Too late.

 

[Alcoholikaust]

Do they have store pickup?

yessir

jumping on this: my desk could use an amino or 3

 

[Dr. Buni]

Interesting deal, but I will buy it digitally. Plus, I am not interested in not-so-good-looking figurines.

 

[Busaiku]

yessir

Didn't give me the option.
Oh well, it's not like I'm in a rush to play day 1, since Pokemon's that day anyways.

 

[alf717]

Would be on this if they had the $99 bundle.

 

[protomouse]

Europe am cry.

 

[Kriken]

Remember that rumor from the 'Gamestop manager' about getting Smash for November 21st got a free Amiibo? Good times

 

[Zomba13]

Europe has something similar, but you only get Mario amiibo.



Nice deal Toys r us.

And it costs more than the game on its own.

 

[KHlover]

Rumor confirmed then. That was one of the oldest rumors, wasn't it

 

[Herr K]

Are amiibos region free?

 

[Neo Dark]

Isn't that rumor specifically about GameStop though. Also it said that every copy of Smash Bros will come with it which isn't the case. Only one place is offering this as far as we know and it's an online special only.

 

[loaf of bread]

It would be less I think if you a GCU membership w/Best Buy.
Since the amiibo's count for the 20% off.

Woah! I didn't realize they counted! Normally non-game stuff doesn't count.

 

[uncleniccius]

Europe has something similar, but you only get Mario amiibo.



Nice deal Toys r us.

And its also £10 more than the standalone game..

 

[Wings 嫩翼翻せ]

It's a cool deal, though I'm not particularly interested in having one.

 

[Starwolf_UK]

Europe has something similar, but you only get Mario amiibo.

That is RRP £60 when the game is RRP £50 and the Game and Adpater (no controller bundle for Europe) is RRP £55. Basically you would be a fool to buy the Mario Amiibo bundle (the Adapter is £18 on its own, which is more than an Amiibo). Finally, it is Mario only.

 

[BodiesWithoutOrgans]

Its not free your paying for the figure

WAIT A SECOND.

Amiibos count?!

 

[RumblingRosco]

It's a cool deal, though I'm not particularly interested in having one.

Same. Great promotion for those wanting Amiibos though. As for me, I'll probably buy thru Best Buy so I can get 5% cash back through my Discover card. Seems like the best "deal" so far.

 

[Aostia]

Would be great to have something similar in PAL!

 

[lobdale]

Already have my GameCube bundle confirmed from Amazon, I'll stick with that.

 

[Dreams-Visions]

is an Amiibo something I should want?

 

[Cuburt]

I've gone all digital but this is pretty much the only deal that might get me to break the streak since amiibos actually have some significant in-game usage (for multiple games) but I'm not sure I want to buy one. Even most pre-order DLC doesn't do enough for me to pre-order these days.

Anyone know if it is possible to buy digital from Toys R Us and if so, if it's still possible to take advantage of this Toys R Us deal? Of does anyone know of a similar digital deal?
