1. Legless Princess Peach

Nintendo's Amiibo toy figurines have become quite the rage in the collectible market. While the typical retail price for an Amiibo is only $12.99, their relative scarcity has caused prices to skyrocket. For example, this legless Princess Peach, the result of a manufacturing defect, sold for $25,100 on eBay.

2. Dual Cannon Samus

Metroid's famous bounty hunter, Samus, gets a serious price upgrade when she dual-wields her iconic arm cannon. For thrifty shoppers, two-can Sam can be found for a mere $2,500–ten percent of the cost of her compatriot, legless Peach.

3. No-Lefty Luigi

Rounding out the collection of top-tier manufacturing defects, this Luigi Amiibo showed up on eBay missing his left hand. The auction winner is now out $500. Beyond Peach, Samus and Luigi, though, most defects don't seem to positively impact the value of Amiibo figures.

4. Villager

If you're not into factory mistakes and want to focus on collecting intact Amiibo, finding the Villager from Animal Crossing is a quest in itself. Unless you spot one in the wild, expect to pay upwards of $70 on auction sites to grab the little guy.

5. Greninja

Good luck grabbing a pre-order for the elusive Pokemon ninja. As is often the case with Amiibo figures, Greninja sold out long before he even hit store shelves.

6. Little Mac

Little Mac became one of the most popular Nintendo fighters after his inclusion in the new Super Smash Bros. That new stardom led to his Amiibo becoming a hot commodity, too. Pro tip for winning him in an auction: Dance like a fly, bite like a mosquito.

7. Gold Mario

He's not quite worth his weight in gold, but if you manage to find a Gold Mario Amiibo, he's currently valued at around around $60. Mama mia.

8. Marth

Marth's come a long way. He flummoxed many players in his first Smash Bros. appearance, but after the surprising success of Fire Emblem in the West, Marth has received a huge popularity boost. Acquiring his coveted Amiibo will cost you more than $50.

9. Pit

After languishing on the sidelines for more than a decade, Kid Icarus has officially made a comeback, thanks to the tireless efforts of Nintendo designer Masahiro Sakurai. Some Amiibo figures are rare because they're relatively unknown. Other characters, like Pit, are rare because they're so loved.

10. Wii Fit Trainer

That's it, feel the burn ... in your wallet, that is. Considered a rare unicorn by serious Amiibo collectors, the Wii Fit Trainer still goes for more than three times her retail price.

11. Ness

In a more just universe, the words "rare" and "Earthbound" would never appear together, but sadly, this is the timeline we inhabit. The consummate yo-yo artist Ness is an upcoming GameSpot exclusive. If you didn't pre-order, though, you'll need to cast PSI Hypnosis to persuade someone else to fork him over.

12. Meta Knight

Meta Knight got an avalanche of nerfs in the recent Smash Bros. game, but his weaker range didn't affect his popularity as a toy. Rumors abound that he'll be restocked in stores, but expect to pay close to $40 until then.

13. Ike

If you've kept your ear close to the ground, then you know the mercenary Ike is rumored for a summer restock. The smart bet would be to wait out his current price spike–$40–until then, just in case this royal bodyguard becomes a mere commoner.

14. Shulk

Behold the power of the Monado! Thanks to his rabid fanbase, Shulk's Xenoblade title became a bonafide hit in the West, and his Amiibo proved just as popular. Unfortunately, like the Wii game from which he hails, Shulk is a difficult man to track down.

15. Captain Falcon

Winning isn't about being lucky. It's about being bold. And you'll need to be bold to hunt down your very own Captain Falcon figure. Once you do, he'll cost you close to $35.

16. Rosalina

Who knew Rosalina would become such a lightning rod for controversy? One collector managed to frustrate the entire Amiibo collecting community by purchasing huge numbers of Rosalinas simply to keep her off store shelves. Luckily, the truly committed can still find her for around $30.

17. King Dedede

For the longest time, Dreamland's king has been unfairly maligned. Maybe Nintendo fans are finally celebrating his heroic nature, because his Amiibo has been one of the most popular.

18. Lucario

A well-trained Lucario can identify creatures more than half a mile away. We wish we had the same telepathic ability to spot which Toys "R" Us has the fabled Amiibo in stock. Expect to pay twice his retail price for a Lucario in the wild.

19. Fox

Fox McCloud may have what it takes to save the Lylat Galaxy, but you'll have to find him first. He's not impossible to discover, but he still remains one of the less common Amiibo originals.

20. Dankey Kang

What's a collector to do after tracking down the rarest and most valuable Amiibo figures? Well, there's a cool niche market of custom painted Amiibo characters to explore. Creators offer unique spins on classic characters, like the famous Jeopardy-themed meme "Dankey Kang," pictured above. While not officially produced by Nintendo, a custom painted work can be truly one of a kind.

There's a New Batman

Ben Affleck will take over the role of the Caped Crusader. His new suit and Batmobile made all kinds of waves when first released by director Zack Snyder.

Superman Returns

Of course. Henry Cavill will reprise his role as the Man of Steel. But still, we can't stop wondering: Why are he and Batman battling each other?

Wayne Tower Gets Demolished

Ben Affleck's Batman has retired the cape and cowl–that is, until the Wayne Tower is destroyed by what looks to be Superman's laser vision. Batman, loyal to his city of Gotham, reveals his conflict with the Man of Steel, saying, "He has the power to wipe out the human race ... And we have to destroy him."

The Joker is Terrorizing Batman ... Again

With Jared Leto firmly entrenched as the new Joker, there are hints in the trailer that the Clown Prince of Crime could play a role in the film. He presumably scribbled "you let your family die" on a newspaper and vandalized a suit that reads "Hahah joke's on you Batman."

Lex Luthor is the Big Bad Guy

Jesse Eisenberg (The Social Network) will play the iconic role of Lex Luthor, as seen in this sneak peek first revealed by Entertainment Weekly. In the trailer, Luthor proclaims, "The redcapes are coming," a nod to Paul Revere. But does that signify that Luthor views Superman as a savior and not just one of his enemies?

And He Has Kryptonite

Lex Luthor might have hair and government allies in Batman v Superman, but the biggest revelation is the kryptonite fragment shown in the trailer. The impact that kryptonite will have on Superman definitely will be something to keep an eye on.

The Man of Steel Kneels Before Lex Luthor

In one of the more thought-provoking shots from the trailer, Superman is kneeling in front of Lex Luthor. Is this because Luthor has weakened the Man of Steel through kryptonite, or maybe something even worse?

Gal Gadot Debuts as Wonder Woman

Gal Gadot (maybe you saw her in Furious 7?) will bring Wonder Woman to the big screen in the Man of Steel sequel. In the trailer that debuted at Comic-Con, Wonder Woman can be seen using her Bracelets of Submission to cause an explosion. But whose side is she on?

Jeremy Irons is Alfred Pennyworth

As in most Batman films, Alfred Pennyworth will play a huge role in the upcoming film. Jeremy Irons will take over the part of Bruce Wayne's staunchest ally. In the Comic-Con trailer, Alfred returns to the Wayne Manor to question why Batman is warring with Superman, proclaiming that the Man of Steel "is not our enemy."

There's a Brand-New Batsuit

The new suit and smaller ears have been a hot topic since the reveal of Ben Affleck's Caped Crusader outfit.

General Zod Makes an Appearance

General Zod's role is unknown after Superman infamously killed him at the end of Man of Steel. Could Lex Luthor use Zod's body to find a weakness in Superman?

The Batmobile Looks More and More Like a Tank

Batman's new ride looks sleeker, faster and only a little less militarized than Christopher Nolan's Dark Knight-era Batmobile.

Christian Bale Gave Ben Affleck Batman Advice IRL

After running into Christian Bale, the last man to put on the batsuit, Affleck sought out advice for playing the beloved character. Bale's words of wisdom? Make sure you can pee in that suit.

Jason Momoa as Aquaman

Good news! Everybody's favorite Dothraki, Jason Momoa, will bring Aquaman out from the deep ... to unite the seven, apparently.
