That's how it used to be early on and then during some of Covid. The past three or so years it's been fairly reasonable and normalized. Like I said there's still the odd Amiibo that does stay rare but overall they're doing quite well with reprinting most of the expensive ones and even ones that aren't expensive but didn't get as much time. Animal Crossing (Non-Smash) will always be the pariah though, that set killed TtL as a brand for most stores.
If you want to know the shelfwarmers currently it's Metroid Dread, Loftwing, all of Monhun, anyone from the Mario Series, and Smash MInecraft.
If you want to know the current rare ones:
>The Fire Emblem sets.
The standalone ones from Echoes I think it was, not Smash. Smash have had reprints and are reasonably priced.
>Box Boy.
It was a JP-only pack-in that never got a reprint.
>Solaire
Gamestop exclusive and he was immediately knocked off so a huge chunk of the ones out in the wild are Chinese knockoffs and not the actual Amiibo. It's very hard to find a legitimate version of him because the knockoff looks so similar.
>Mii Fighter set.
This hasn't been reprinted and while it shelfwarmed when it first released it started getting rarer as time went on and now it's like $80-100 compared to the $35 MSRP.
>Splatoon 1 alternate color set.
Only set that hasn't been reprinted from Splatoon. Japan got individual releases instead of a set but it's still fairly expensive to hunt down.
>Loot Goblin
Gamestop exclusive. Shelfwarmed at release but now it's like $60 for a non-used one.
>Samus Returns dual pack.
Samus herself is dirt cheap, you can easily get her alone for like $25 because Japan and I believe Europe had individual releases. The Metroid itself is what balloons the price to a starting used price of around $70. If you want the dual pack new it's typically $100+ while used it's about $80.
>Mega Man 11 Mega Man.
Pack-in with the game. I believe it had a standalone release in Japan but it floats around $70.
