Yoshi's Woolly World Yarn amiibo Now Available for Pre-Order on the Nintendo UK Store

Yep - quicker that the Op

Guess everyone can ignore the forum post I just made unless they want a quick URL link to the relevant pack they want...

Game + Green Yoshi + 8GB Super Smash Bros. Wii U system bundle - £219.99, That my friends is a STEAL.

Well I don't want a bundle, just the amiibo. Guess I need to get them elsewhere? GAME has placeholders, but not taking pre-orders yet. I put in my order for the two Splatoon ones as long as I was there.

And the Woolly Yoshi amiibo are gone.....well at least they should be by now.

the one time i get here early its in the UK

I'll only get the blue and pink ones for my kids when it'll be available here. I'm not really a fan of the green Yoshi. And besides I'm getting the Smash or SM Yoshi soon.

So they're not doing the amiibo on their own? I have the game pre-ordered for £25, so Nintendo are charging an extra £29 to get a yarn amiibo with it. I think I'll just stick with the game, thanks!

Triple Pack is now sold out...

All other versions are still showing as available right now...

I find it odd that they aren't doing a bundle with the Special Edition game & Blue & Pink amiibo like they did with Splatoon because that's the one I wanted.
Plus why are they doing a bundle with the green one and the game for £4 more the the SE because they are exactly the same thing anyway

@Sean_Aaron Game have already taken preorders for the yarn yoshi as I placed preorders there last week I think Game might be sold out at this stage..

Damn, I was hoping they would have the amiibo available separately

I missed out on the triple pack by a couple of minutes but managed to grab the light blue bundle so not all is lost!

I got game at gameseek at original preorder price £25 a couple of weeks ago. and green yarn yoshi at shopto when the preorder was £16.85 so still works out cheaper for now... Good luck to those who are still hunting.

Just this minute got conformation email for green yoshi bundle

Well that triple pack sold out quickly.

Good thing I managed to pre-order it from Game.

Put the separate pack in my basket and then realised I can get them together for £4 cheaper. What's with that?

Def getting the bundle with green yoshi in NA.

@drewb0203 I think Nintendo's trying one last time to get great Wii U sales with Splatoon and Yoshi.

They don't seem to be limiting these to one per customer atm... Hope scalpers don't take advantage!

And the triple Yoshi amiibo pack is gone....as expected!

DAMN! I missed all 3 AGAIN!

Can't see why anyone would want three of the same Amiibo but in different colours. But it is Sold out, so I guess lots of people. I wonder where the tipping point is. If there was 4 colours or 5, would people still jump on it so quick ? I got the green pack pre ordered on shopto, but thats my limit. Paying £77 for a game and 3 identical toys is crazy to me.

Still can't get over the fact you need one of these to actually play multiplayer in this game. So +20 euro in case you want to enjoy the game with a friend.

@Antray1984 They're not identical though, the 3 amiibo are different colours.

@Megal0maniac That's not true, you only need the amiibo if you want to play as 2 Yoshis by yourself. If you've got a friend to play with then all you need is 2 controllers.

@Grumblevolcano I stand corrected, I saw a gameplay video where the only time another Yoshi came to the screen was when an amiibo was held to the gamepad. Thanks.

These prices are horrible (apart from the console bundle). Just like Splatoon. £35 for the base game plus a shirt no one will ever wear... When you can get the game for £25 elsewhere.

These are gonna go faster than Yoshi on a flaming dash pepper (SMG2) when these drop in the US...

@Sean_Aaron Game already sold out :/

Looking forward to not being able to buy them when NA pre-orders go up.

Why are there 2 listings for the game with a green Yoshi, the only difference being one doesn't have a big box and is £4 more expensive, and the big box version is cheaper? That makes zero sense.

@Grumblevolcano But they all have the same purpose. Like many things have different colour variants but only one is required. Im just interested to see how far this goes and weather the bubble will burst. I have an image of myself moving house in 5 years and having lots of amiibo dumped in a box without a care as something new has come along. Hasn't stopped me pre-ordering like a crazy person however.

Console pack is a good deal, but the separate price options are simply going to make the "worth, selling for" deals elsewhere be purchased straight away. I'll only be buying one colour - if each variant opens up new stuff that's really bad I think, £70+ on a game isn't something I want to be doing.

I've given up on Amiibo. Was going to collect them all but no point if will be a few can only get through scalpers.
I just buy the odd cool and available ones.
Don't understand Ninty's policy here.

I'm relying on the missus for mine for my birthday.......I hope she's on the ball so I don't end up with the pink yoshi!!

US please

@Grumblevolcano - blue one matches your hair so that worked out well.
And Nintendo isnt really trying to sell Wii U unless theres a price cut announcement at E3. They said they learned their lesson from 3DS, so wheres the 33% cut?

@Antray1984 - Scalpers can sell them separetly though.

My sons will plsy this together and I'll plsy w/ my wife, no amiibo for us. We will probsbly have to buy Splatoon amiibo though unless Nintendo releases a "season pass" after all the stock is gone. Or maybe cheaper cards.

I pray to God every night that I can get the green one...just need to wait for the NA pre-orders to come.

Good thing I'm done with amiibo. The stock issues finally pushed me past my breaking point.

Ordered. Hope the game is actually good. I'm still waiting to see the Pac-Man amiibo back in stock though.

@cmk8 I'm not preordering these things. Either have stock on hand or forget it.

The amiibo are sold out everywhere. Tried looking for a pre-order, but it's no use. Too bad, would've liked to get one.

Have a Shopto preorder for the green yoshi and I'm happy with that.

I also jumped on the £25 preorder price of the game at gameseek, this price has recently crept up close to £27 but is still really cheap.

I don't see any advantage to having all the Yoshi amiibo for this game unless I'm missing something, if there's no reason to have all 3 then just having one out of the 3 is fine with me.

I'm getting an amiibo for this game but not bothering with any of the Splatoon amiibo, I'd rather get that game and see whether it's any good before investing in it. I realise that is not smart given the stock issues with amiibos in general but even if I can't get an amiibo for Splatoon, I'll just have to make do with what I've got as I refuse to pay way over the odds.

already pre-ordered it the day after the nintendo direct

Hopefully they'll be individual in America.

@AVahne they may become Store Exclusive amiibo over in the USA.

Green Yarn Yoshi: GameStop
Light Blue Yarn Yoshi: Toys 'R' Us
Pink Yarn Yoshi: Target

No thanks Nintendo

@LunaticPandora

It makes perfect sense actually. One is the Yoshi Woolly World special edition. That is, a single box containing the game and amiibo. The other bundle is the Green Yoshi amiibo that comes in generic amiibo packaging and a copy of Yoshi's Woolly World.

2 different ways of packaging the same product.

I'm kind of excited about this game, it looks really fun and better than the 3DS game.

That said I was really burned by the 3DS game (and bought it despite the lackluster reviews since I am such a fan of the SNES game) so I think I will wait till there are more reviews of the game before buying it. Sucks that I might miss these amiibos but what are ya gonna do.

I got all three amiibos and the special edition in the last round of pre-orders. Not sure what I'm going to do with them. Part of me wants to give them to my kids, part of me wants to keep them sealed up for twenty years.
