Quote

Moscow's Metro has been invaded by tiny plastic Nintendo characters, thanks to their NFC technology being sufficient to open the station's ticket barriers.
One Nintendo fan discovered this apparent issue and posted a video on Instagram (which you can see below) proving that their Samus amiibo could get them past the ticket barrier.
It's entirely possible that the toy has been tinkered with and had its NFC technology replaced with that of a travel card, but we'd like to think that the bounty hunter's habit of opening just about any door has bled into the real world.

Unsurprisingly, perhaps, the owner who nabbed this unique amiibo has taken to *** to make a healthy profit; the listing has a nice new picture to show it off.

Pretty sure they're just doing it for extra $$$$, per usual.
