Following the recent US news, Nintendo has today announced the gold and silver Super Mario edition amiibo figures will be arriving soon in Australia and New Zealand.
The silver amiibo will be available exclusively from EB Games from the 30th of May and is able to be pre-ordered from the EB Games website right now. With only limited stock and strictly one per customer, be quick if you are going to take the plunge.
The gold amiibo figure will be exclusive to Target stores with more details regarding a release date to be announced soon. Both figures will retail for AU$17.95. The gold and silver figures are also the first two retailer exclusive amiibo to be made available in Australia and New Zealand.
On a related note, Nintendo Australia has also revealed via Facebook and Twitter the local release dates for the next two waves of amiibo. Ganondorf, Dark Pit, Palutena and Zero Suit Samus will be released on the 4th of July, and Bowser Jr., Dr Mario and Pikmin & Olimar will arrive shortly after on the 23rd of July. The preorders for these figures are already live.
Let us know in the comments if you would like to add the gold and silver Mario amiibo figures to your collection.

The Smash Bros Mario figure looks 100 times better., but I already have 2 Mario figures and don't need any more, not even Metal Mario with that lame pose.
Store exclusives is the last thing we need, especially with EB Games markup.
Hah did EB games get the Silver Medal to Target?!
So worshiping continues. If these were released twenty years back, Nintendo would be ragged for idolization and damaging the minds of the children. No way Nintendo could get away with this back then. But because everybody is so damn ignorant of things around them from anti-privacy to anti-freedom-of-speech, people think it is okay to idolize such rubbish.
They are piece of plastic ( not even plastic ) and what point to purchase these things please tell me not???
I had an similar idea for such things but as action figures. I guess Nintendo beat everybody to the punch of that as well.
Somewhere out their is an sad kid who probably have these things lined up on an shelf and stares at them with glee, going tee-hee and they do not own an single Wii-U game.
@RegalSin rumours are that they contain voodoo magic.....if you clap your hands they will trigger mind blowing events!?!?!
@RegalSin well, at least you're not bothered
The Amiibo stock situation is really making me laugh now. I am not surprised that they are out of stock already. I wonder how many they actually received. I also wonder how long the gold will last through Target when it is made available? 30 seconds? Actually that might be too long. 10 seconds perhaps?
UK announcement next- Game or Nintendo store exclusive i bet.
Surprise, surprise — EB's already showing their stock as sold out.
What is Europe? >_>
I run as fast as I can to EB Games after school and arrive at 4:20. For some reason, I'm only the third person that day to preorder. The guys find it strange, as usually more people run towards it.
I hang around until 5:00pm and the store is packed. Also, it's sold out online as well.
Geez. Had I been half an hour later I could've kissed my hopes of having a Metal Mario goodbye.
Store exclusive amiibos are new here. I really, really hope it's only for these two. It's hard enough to get these darn things as it is.
Oh man. I fought the crowd at Target to get the SSB fat-box with the GC adapter on the morning of release. Staff had been pinching copies for themselves. When we all flooded the home-entertainment counter there were only two copies for sale! If this is any indication, I have a bad feeling about Gold Mario availability at Target...
@TheMongrelCat Eegh. That doesn't sound good. Good thing I preordered Silver Mario. Even if I don't get gold, that's something.
Still, about Target. The opposite happened with Marth recently. There were so many that I called up my friends and ended up buying four copies in total (one for each of the three that wanted one and one for me). I guess it could go either way.
Pretty sure the preorders for Bowser Jr., Dr Mario and Olimar aren't up yet
I am hoping that the gold and silver ones will be announced for the UK / Europe soon!
Gold Mario is a Target Exclusive. Silver Mario is an EB Games Exclusive. I made sure to pre order my Silver Mario Amiibo early today. I will have to go in to Target on the day of release to get the Gold Mario though

Just find your existing Mario amiibo and then all you really need is this.....
@DekersHekers That's a pretty awesome score. I guess the inconsistency of available stock at retailers around the word is the only consistent thing with Amiibos! Wish I didn't care so much - I should save my money for actual games. Heh heh heh.
@AyeHaley yes, what is a Europe? Lol. Yeah when do we get these in Europe and where?
You know you could actually purchase real Gold liquid and "Gold Leaf" which gives that false resiliency of real gold. I mean seriously why buy these when you could down to your local mint and purchase a piece of real platinum, silver, or Gold for the same price??? A plastic Sega Saturn award is one thing including fake emmy awards but this is too funny. Are there mini game inside of these things?
