I wonder if they'll honour my original pre-order price from when I ordered it during the Best Buy / Future Shop deal during E3 in 2014...
What was it back then, $59.99? I pre-ordered it back then as well.

My order is old enough that Best Buy doesn't recognize my order number when I try to log in and check. I think it may have been less than $59.99, but either way.

Yup, a whole entire truck load of them... and probably future ones too! :P

Can't believe that $60 price tag on that large green yarn Yoshi though in the maple leaf. :/

Interesting thought actually. I'm not sure if they're in the game already, but I wonder if we'll see support for the Animal Crossing Amiibo as well.

Sorry if I come in so late, but isn't 50 USD about 65 CAD?

I'm not saying the conversion is wrong, just saying it's shocking how much higher Canadian prices are getting! :lol: It was only a year ago we were paying US prices, still hard to get used to.

The mega Yoshi Amiibo is about $7 more expensive than it should be, as $40 US is around $53 CAN.

Fake. Uses the Smashified artwork.
More sources! GAME leaks Shovel Knight amoeba.

I just checked my order and the price is about $45. So it must have been $64.99 when we pre-ordered way back when. Still $5 cheaper than it is now.
