Loot Crate Prices Its Amiibo Delivery Service
Loot Crate has offered some more details (specifically pricing) on its partnership with Nintendo to deliver amiibos to subscribers.
You can find the full breakdown here. There are two options: you can pay $155 to get 10 amiibos, collectible mini-mags, a sticker, a wristband, a cinch bag, and a t-shirt over the course of three weeks, or you can pay $55 a week for three weeks for the same stuff. Loot Crate hasn't detailed exactly which amiibos will be included. The ones pictured above are examples.
Super Smash Bros. for Wii U is out on November 21, along with the first wave of 12 Amiibo figures. Another set of six figurines will be out before the end of this year.

Our Take
With the amiibos costing $13 a figure, getting them delivered to you by Loot Crate isn't a great deal. Your best bet is still probably to just go to the store and grab them when when they release. Unless that mystery t-shirt and the extra goodies are worth $25-$35 to you, of course.
