Fire Emblem Amiibo Was First Item Sold on Amazon Mexico

Amazon Mexico officially began selling items in Mexico today, marking the latest branch for the retailer. Instead of domestic goods, movies, or books, however, the first customer bought an Amiibo.

The Ike figurine, from the Fire Emblem series, was the very first item bought through Amazon Mexico upon it opening for business, according to CNN Mexico's Twitter account.

Nintendo's Amiibo line of figurines, which have functionality with Wii U and 3DS games, have been popular collector's items and have often proved extremely difficult to find. Users on the Amiibo subreddit report that those hard-to-find Amiibos were available on Amazon Mexico for slightly cheaper prices. They were only able to be shipped within Mexico, however.

In April, a Nintendo executive stated that Amiibo sales have far surpassed Nintendo's expectations. The figurines work with some games on Nintendo's platforms, including Super Smash Bros. and Mario Kart 8. At E3 2015, the company revealed Animal Crossing: Amiibo Festival, a game that requires an Amiibo to play. You can check out all of the Amiibos that have been announced here.
