In the past we have seen limited edition amiibo, but these Monster Hunter Rise some may be the rarest to date.
7-Eleven convenience stores in Japan have unveiled this “limited edition” and “limited edition” gold amiibo set, to celebrate the launch of Capcom’s upcoming Nintendo Switch version.
The problem, because there is always one, is that you can’t buy the set. You see, it’s actually part of an award.
Anyone in Japan who buys a download card for the game between January 25 and April 11 wins automatic entry to a special lottery and one of the prizes is this amiibo set.
According to Capcom’s official PR, the designs (above) are just concepts, with the actual version of this golden amiibo to be revealed in the near future. It is also not known how many sets will be available.
Let’s imagine that they will be quite valuable in the coming years. If you’re really desperate, though, you can always spray paint a standard set.
