Totally agree, these are not worth mug these days only worth something to the collector.

No.
I'd say yes, eventually. Nothing confirmed though, just speculation.

Eh, guess it's a good deal but for an amiibo that's still overpriced. Gold Mario was bound to be re-released just like Shulk and the other "rare" amiibos.
How can you be certain customs won't charge an extra fee? Does it say on the website?
The customs usually charge extra once it's over the £15 from what I've been told at the Post Office.

if the seller doesn't pay the import charge, it will depend on what value they mark it up at, and if they open your package and check. the tax will be negligible on this item, but the £8 charge from royal mail will sting!
for instance, if you do have to pay on this, the import duty is zero, vat is £3, and then £8 from royal mail for the service!
that said, I've ordered stacks of stuff from nippon yasan including amiibos, wii u pro controllers and wii motes and nunchuks, gamecube controllers and ps4 controllers and i've never been unlucky enough to have a box opened. it does happen though.

Can you please tell me where you found it for that price on eBay? Can't see any as cheap as that. ID number or seller would be a great help. Thank you

So you can't buy it until next week?

Remember that you will pay through the nose for shipping from play-asia. Buying this alone is $6 in shipping via the slow air-mail.
Plus if you order a number of items you will be paying customs charges.

Might be a bit late for you now but here it is for £16.99 - 252223998751. Bear in mind you do run the chance of import and PO charge as its still from Hong Kong.
