I’ve seen amiibo in limited edition in the past, but these Monster Hunter Rise some might be the rarest yet.
7-Eleven stores in Japan have unveiled this “limited” and “special edition” gold amiibo set to celebrate the launch of Capcom’s upcoming Nintendo Switch.
The catch – because there is always one – is that you can’t buy the set. You see, it’s actually part of a prize pool.
Anyone in Japan who purchases a game download card between January 25 and April 11 wins automatic entry into a special lottery, and one of the prizes is this amiibo set.
According to Capcom’s official PR, the designs (above) are just concepts – the real version of these golden amiibo to be unveiled in the near future. There is no word on how many sets will be available.
We imagine that they will be quite valuable in the coming years. If you are really desperate, however, you could always paint a standard set.
