Earlier this week the Nintendo Official UK Store had a re-stock of some rare amiibo, some of which are now gone while others are still available. Today has brought more additions with the latest wave of figures, with stock available for those that haven't pre-ordered.
The following four amiibo figures are still in stock from the official store at the time of writing.
- Zero Suit Samus
- Dark Pit
- Palutena
- Ganondorf
All are limited to one figure per customer and won't be despatched until 3rd July - at £10.99 this is the best priced option, however.
GAME is offering immediate despatch on all four of these figures, but is charging £14.99 for each one.
This is part of a wider trend with amiibo stock in the UK, with various consumers reporting happier results at retailers around the country.
Are you planning to grab any of these while you still can?

Until the stock situation improves in North America I'm pretty much done with Amiibo's. I've officially reached my breaking point.
@Shiryu Pretty rare for a new wave to have stock when pre-orders are done. They popped up on the NUK store earlier today, and when I went to GAME they were just there. Perhaps stock woes are finally easing off in the UK.
I got Palutena and Zero Suit Samus yesterday and the day before at retail.
Edit: the only missing from my mains in Smash is Lucina
@ThomasBW84 The situation is still not as dire over here in Portugal, but lets hope things improve overseas, I have many friends asking to to secure them amiibos that are fairly comom over here but never been restocked in the UK and more alarming, in Japan.
Placed another order for 4 from NUK (Palutena, Dark Pit, Zero Suit Samus and Ganondorf). Very happy as I've been paying 2-5 times RRP from Amazon etc.
I picked up Dark Pit and Palutena this morning, sadly no Pit and Lucina restock though. I was surprised to see a few rare ones like Meta Knight and King Dedede at GAME.
Ganondorf, Palutena and ZS Samus arrived this morning, and just ordered Dark Pit now. I'm going to need to find somewhere to put all my Amiibo soon. There's just no enough space!
@A01 If that were me, I would've kept the faulty Ganondorf boxed and bought another for unboxing.
I got Ganondorf and Dark Pit in the mail yesterday, and today I'm expecting Palutena and Zero Suit Samus.
I thought Zero Suit Samus wasn't released until September...
@ryanrybot The US has a different amiibo lineup, most of which are a few months later than Europe.
@Grumblevolcano, thank you! That makes sense.
Toys r us and smyths toys in uk both have them and other rare ones in stock too.

@A01 You're right...that probably would have sold for tons of money...if the legless Peach and double arm cannon Samus are any indication.
Yeah, the stocking been pretty good or at least better than before. I got my Dark Pit pre-order though I've yet to receive Palutena. Hoping she comes by tomorrow.
Game offer the best deals? £14.99 for several amiibo that are £10.99 in Argos, back to school!
Its nice to see most stores still have still have amiibo available. This should be the norm. Here is hoping they don't stop being available.
@andyg1971 Yes, both Argos and Smyths have them for £10.99. Either Nintendolife is in bed with GAME, or they simply did not do their homework with this article.
Crazy! Got all four!
Wait...they're still in stock!? Oh my God, amiibos staying in stock after 15 minutes at this point has been unheard of! 0_0
I hope this is sign of things to come. I think septembers wave will be the most difficult to find. Nintendo should release a pack of 3 bases so u can use them with the 1 game n watch amiibo. As some will want to display all 4 poses.
@Akira_1975
North America is next. As of right now we've seen massive restocks in both Japan and Europe. I assume Nintendo chose to tackle those regions first because North America accounts for 66% of the global demand, so it was a wise first step taking care of the other regions first. And they most certainly have done exactly that. Europe and Japan are drowning in restocks and have been for the last month.
The restocks are starting to hit North America though. Marth, Pit and WFT already hit Amazon for restock. And GameStops just got Wii fit trainer in yesterday. Call around to your local GameStop's and I bet you can go find one today if you act quick. Pit will be next for GameStop restock, probably within the next week or two.
But that's just the tip of the iceberg. There are massive restocks incoming here too, but it's taking Nintendo longer for us because the sheer volume of demand in the United States. Like I said this one country accounts for two thirds of the entire global demand, so obviously it's going to take a little bit more to see results here.
But you don't have to wait if you don't want. Just import from Europe! Palutena, Ganondorf, Zero Suit and Dark Pit have been live off and on Amazon Italy for a good week now. You can import the entire wave for around $70. That's a dang good price, especially considering they're being shipped from overseas, and you would be getting them much earlier than in the US.
I already imported 2 sets of wave 5a- one from Amazon Japan and another from Amazon UK. They're real easy to get in other regions right now. In fact I already have 2 sets of Blue, Pink and Green Yarn Yoshi on the way from the UK. That's really the way to do it if you ask me. Then if you want a US version for a sealed collection, just be on top of your game when they arrive in the US. At least you'll already have them though...
Got all 4 on pre order... lovely set of figures. It's cool that they're back in stock so quickly.
I got all 4 figures twice. I actually did the Amiibo hunting because of Ganondorf, the one I want to keep. But I'm consedering to keep another one. I don't want to waste money for having all. Which would you recommend as the 2nd of those 4? I'm tending towards Zero Suit Samus since she is damn good in the game. But the Palutena looks so nice detailed xD
I got Palutena and Zero Suit with preorders, but to be fair it's since the Splatoon wave that things are slowly getting better and better. Wave 4 was a joke, preorders lasted less than 24h and no store ever saw them in stock, but now preorders last weeks and some figures even reach stores.
There is still hope for amiibo!
What about the rest of Europe? Nintendo UK store ONLY ships within the UK territory.
@Shiryu Got my Palutena Is the arm with the shield on supposed to be a bit wobbly for movement?
I was very surprised to see Dutch webshop bol.com restock these four amiibo among others like Greninja and Jigglypuff. So I snagged Ganondorf to complete my Triforce Trio, and Zero Suit Samus to complete my... Samus Duo. Now just restock that goshdarn Kirby already!
@themac2001 Yes, mine is as well.
@JaxonH @Grumblevolcano - So in essence the reason there is so much stock of these amino rather than the earlier waves is b/c all the stock is being sent to other countries while the US is forced to wait up to months later for the same amiibo?
Good way to handle stock issues, unless you live in the US. Though I suppose it will be worth the wait if they make enough for the US when our time comes. I don't think they made enough Slaton 3 packs to cover the entire summer of Splatoon, we'll see how it goes when Yoshi releases. Really looking like the game was delayed b/c of the amiibo. Great for people who want the amiibo, but it seems unfair for people who just want to play the game.
Oh well, at least it does look like they are trying to figure this all out, so I will give them credit for that, trying means a lot to me even if their methods seem a bit unfair, it might really be the only way to handle amiibo.
I to got all four friday morning plus a green yarn Yoshi and Yoshi's woolly world,happy days.
@Shiryu Damn those look good. I've preordered all of them here in Australia. They come out on the 4th of July.
Even though it says on the official Nintendo Store site that it despatches on the 3rd July, my Dark Pit has just been despatched,
Thanks to past couple days will have 7 amiibo in total all for normal price, Wahey!
Oh + 3 yarn yoshi, I guess they count
Yes. It is news that there is stock.
Ordered Ganondorf today because realised also that Discshop had stock of Fit Trainers (and Little Macs, but he does not interest me) And they were selling those off.
Is Dark Pit available in America ?
I want Pit So Bad can't get him anywhere for less than $40
I just hit up a Zero Suit Smexy on eBay from Japan. I don't entirely trust her to be plentiful when she hits US shores...
You can even get Little Mac from Grainger Games in Newcastle Upon Tyne! Along with all those mentioned above and a sea of other rarities
