Just last week Nintendo outlined its next line-up of Super Smash Bros. amiibo that's due in April, and with a certain Ness in the roster some of them will be fiendishly hard to get hold of. Those in the UK may want to hurry up, then, as the Nintendo's Official UK store is now taking pre-orders.
At the time of writing pre-orders are open for the whole range of Ness, Robin, Wario, Pac-Man, Charizard and Lucina - they may sell out quickly, however.
In addition the store has topped up its stock a little, with Marth and Villager being notable additions - some of today's wave 3 amiibo are still up for grabs too. A number of rare amiibo are still out of stock, however, such as Rosalina, Wii Fit Trainer and Pit.
We expect these new arrivals to disappear relatively quickly; at the time of writing GAME isn't offering pre-orders on Wave 4. Will you be jumping in?
Thanks to RupeeClock for the heads up.

Since I tipped you off, Villager has been restocked too!
As of the time I post this comment that's still true, if you hurry you have a shot at getting the elusive Marth and Villager amiibos.
Wario - Pre-Ordered!
Smash ones pre-ordered for my Nephew and Me!
Not going near the Mario range.
waaat? Ness already sold out?
I've got a couple pre-ordered, waiting on the rest to come up on my usual purchasing sites. Also waiting on Shulk/Sonic/MegaMan to dispatch.
Eep. Three more hours until I can add more money to checkings.. Grr. Can I buy from the Nintendo UK Store from the US??
Ordered my set of 6! When is the Mario Party wave up for preorder? They are due out before these ones and they are not available for preorder yet (I only want Toad as the rest are duplicate characters).
Ness has already sold out. Ouch.
This is now up to figure #35, 13 figures remaining!
Preorderd all before the dealers ruin it for everyone
Wow, Ness and Villager went QUICKLY!
Unfortunately he's out of stock at Game.co.uk too, leaving only Charizard and Wario available.

I got pac and the FE duo so I'mmostly set
@reanimator136 Shopto still have ness avalible for preorder
Managed to put in a pre-order for Wario at GAME.co.uk.
Thanks for the tip off, I've been waiting for the pre-orders to open!
According to my calculations there's two more waves to go with one havign 7 and the other having 6. Unless Mewtwo and the Miis get involved.
The super Mario collection are avalible on Game.co.uk
I managed to pre-order them all from GAME
Pretty annoyed now as only just read this and a load are sold out already. In a way it's good as maybe the "got to buy them all" spell is broken but I'd imagine that people buying full sets is crucial to these shifting long term. They've probably shot themselves in the foot a little here...
Damn, Lucina, Robin and Ness are all sold out at GAME, Nintendo and ShopTo have stopped taking preorders.
This wave may be the only one where I can't pick up the whole lineup. :/
Anyone know any other places that still have these in stock?
@Mush123 Not currently, I'm afraid, but I'd keep an eye on Amazon and Argos.
Bugger - Only wanted Ness - stupid meeting, by the time I saw the email (less than 2 hours after receipt) he's sold out for pre-order already
The heck, Lucina is sold out everywhere already!!
@RainbowGazelle That's what I'm hoping for. I'm not even sure if I'll be getting half of Wave 4 (the real Wave 4 in the UK, I mean.)
I preordered Shulk, Dedede and Meta Knight from Amazon, but part of me thinks they'll cancel my preorders because they can't meet stock demand or something.
I'm guessing Lucina and Robin will get "reprints", because of their compatibility in Codename: STEAM, but if they don't, that's stupid.
@Mush123 Argos have got some of the current wave and February wave for online order at the minute. You may be able to get some there.
@RainbowGazelle Nope, just checked. No Lucina amiibo there to pre-order..
@RainbowGazelle I already have all of Wave 3 (Including Rosalina, thank God), it's just the February wave I'm not sure about. The ones I've preordered on Nintendo UK should be fine, but my Amazon preorders are basically a matter of whether or not they get enough stock to fulfill their preorders.
And now Lucina and Robin are out of stock too.
That leaves just Pac-Man, Wario and Charizard.
Wario and Charizard don't seem to be in as heavy of a demand, unlike Ness, Lucina and Robin.
Holy crap, I literally pre-ordered Robin just for safe-keeping and then went back to check it and it's out of stock... O_o
@Bushido_Fai
It's truly shocking just how quickly they fly off the shelves, after the news breaks and emails are sent out.
@RupeeClock But wasn't this posted an hour ago? Absolutely mental.. At least I have the 4 Zelda amiibos though - I'm more into Zelda than Fire Emblem but still, I wanted that Lucinaaaaaa...
@Bushido_Fai It's first-come-first-serve, but to an insane degree.
This shouldn't happen this quickly, do their supplies not keep up with the demands to the point pre-orders run out in an hour?
Not everyone can be connected online at every opportunity.
@RupeeClock Perhaps, they only let a certain amount of pre-orders per time slot, and then that will mean equal opportunity for all? If that is the case, need to keep trying every hour! Want that Lucina!
@Bushido_Fai My observation is that whilst the pre-orders for Wave 3 part 1 ran out, they restocked all of them for purchase today, except for Rosalina.
So it's likely that when Wave 3 Part 2 launches, or when Wave 4 launches, they'll have some stock ready for immediate purchase too.
@Achoo But Nintendo have already said Marth has been discontinued right? The only one I need to have a full Fire Emblem set is Lucina now T_T
They've added one per customer limit now to the new ones. I wonder if they'll chop me down to one of each after I ordered set for both myself an my Nephew before the restrictions?
I just bought Marth, and pre-ordered Lucina and Robin personally.
I'm wondering if I shouldn't just purchase Ike to complete the set.
Another good heads-up: All Wave 3 Amiibo aside from Rosalina are in stock on Amazon right now. And yes, sold by Amazon, regular price.
And screw it I bought Ike.
So I'll have a complete Fire Emblem set, very nice.
@RupeeClock How did you pre-order Lucina? Where from?!
@Bushido_Fai
From the Official UK store.
I was fast.
@RupeeClock You mean you did it a while ago and not just now?
@Bushido_Fai
Yeah, a while ago.
It was at 12:30pm GMT.
Got my Ness preorder in on time. Phew.
Curiously enough, the "1 per customer" icon has been gradually spreading across the amiibo page for the last hour or so; it covers all the figures (but not bundles) now, but it took a while. In fact, it didn't appear on some of the figures until AFTER they were already sold out. We appreciate the thought, Nintendo...
Wario ordered like a boss!
Wait you can preorder in North america already?
I wish they'd offer them in the US store too. Anyone want to order a couple for me and then send them out to the US?
Pac-Man pre-orders all gone too, leaving just Charizard and Wario.
Surprisingly, like on Game.co.uk there doesn't seem to be as much demand for these two. Wario is one thing because of the biker gear, but this is Charizard. Maybe these two have much more supply by virtue of franchise?
Pre-ordered a Charizard. I needed a Pokemon to go with my collection after missing out on Pikachu and Lucario (the former looks derpy to me, and the latter is just an awful pokemon).
I was tempted by Ness as aswell but he's all sold out. Maybe next time...
@RupeeClock That'd be my guess. I expected Ness to sell out in a hurry not because he's popular, but because he's from an obscure game.
It Wave 5 not 4! Wave 4 comes out at the end of February including King Dedede, Meta Knight, Megaman and alike. Wave 5 is out in April as it says above.
@Zyrac
Earthbound does have a cult following, and combined with a short supply it would definitely sell out in an instant.
Robin, Lucina and Marth sold out, ridiculous!
@andyg1971 At the very least, you can still get Ike.
No thanks, all Fire Emblem amiibo or none. Nintendo don't want my money, no problem 😊
Ouch... at least Charizard's preordered... only him and Wario left of the wave 4 when I checked... got Zelda in though so kinda happy. Would've loved Marth.
All Fire Emblem amiibo will be rereleased when the new 3ds FE game comes out anyway in nicer FE themed packaging.
Pit was in stock at the Nintendo UK store this morning, around 10:30, I was able to finally grab Captain Falcon then too.
@RupeeClock
It could be that, or it could just be there are a lot of Wario's and Charizard's released, less Pacman's, even less Lucina's and Robin's, and very few Marths. In terms of Nintendo fame that's probably correct, but probably not appropriate in what extreme Nintendo fan's want.
I'm definitely in need of Robin and Lucina for my FE collection. As a newcomer to the franchise (which is pretty damn great) I want to honor it.
In the long term, it probably does make sense for Nintendo to produce a zillion Links and not many Nesses. The most famous characters will appeal more to less devoted fans who don't snap things up right away, so they'll just keep on selling. But hardcore fans do create a lot of short-term demand for the lesser-known characters, and it seems that's what Nintendo failed to anticipate.
They have a 1 limit sign now on every amiibo, so I guess they're implementing this to avoid scalpers.
Preordered my Super Mario wave amiibos on Game.co.uk although they are charging more for Mario and Peach (14.99) than Toad, Yoshi, Bowser and Luigi.
Game are also just charging more for many other Amiibo in general. Even in stores.
Ooh, Mario amiibo are on GAME now? Off to order Toad!
They've got their pricing backwards if you ask me. Charge more for the less popular characters - fans will be willing to pay! (On the other hand, please don't.)
@Zyrac Personally, since I've not bought Captain Toad Treasure Tracker yet, I'm waiting for the inevitable Amiibo bundle release instead.
I managed to get Villager on Ninty online store, but when I got the email confirmation, although it was listed as purchased, the note said sold out. Hopefully will still get it
@Ootfan98 I got the Okey Dokey that my Villager amiibo (as well as Marth and Ike) got shipped, hopefully you will too.
Another thing I noticed on GAME, if you're intending to preorder Mario Party 10, GAME are offering Mario amiibo + Mario Party 10 bundle for £39.99 at the moment, seems like a good price given that Mario separately is £14.99! Snap preordered that as I will be getting MP10
Pac man sold out already!!!???
Wow, my Rosalina amiibo arrived today and now they release Charizard, this is a vicious cycle. I'm almost glad Lucina sold out because had she not, my bank manager would have probably sent me a very vicious letter.
If there a different release date for wave 3 in Europe than in North America
Managed to snag preorders for 1 of each, so my complete collection continues for now
Interestingly, if you look on nintendo.co.uk now, they've limited all amiibo purchases to 1 per customer. I know that will annoy some people who want 2 or 3 but let's be honest, it's probably the only fair way to combat scalpers at the moment. Hopefully this will make future amiibo a little easier to get hold of.
@RupeeClock Spot on mate, just received the Okey Dokey note, Villager included
Screw it. I'm not preordering Ness now I guess. Once again, I get tired of this game.
Already a Ness pre-order on eBay for £35. Don't you just love the Scalpers...
They put them up at 1pm and sold out by 1.30pm what a shambles and all sold out at game as well. Wait it go missed out again s0d this gonna stop getting amigo's now it's like a game of pay £35 on eBay over rates for people that bought 50 a go. they problem work at game i have had bits missing before from there only to see them on eBay at silly prices.
@emiingham Screw you, person with way too much money.
I got all six from Nintendo's UK store before the were sold out. There was only a five hour or so period where they were available. It's crazy how little supply there is to meet the demand.
all I really want are the FE amiibos, so I can play with them in Codename S.T.E.A.M
Already have Marth, I should probably think about preordering Lucina and Robin.
Not happy Nintendo didn't even let anyone know about the pre-order this time what a way to treat customers ....
Well, crap. Wario was still available a couple hours ago. I decided I was gonna order and now he's OOS.
If only I wasn't at college when I saw this I would have gotten Robin, Lucina and Ness Pre-ordered but they sold out so quickly that I didn't even get home before most of wave 4 was sold out.
Really would have liked a Ness. Still, I did randomly visit the official store yesterday and grabbed myself a Pac-Man and already had Charizard pre-ordered from Game so guess it's not all bad...
I really really really want Lucina...
