Whether you're an amiibo collector going for the full set or a Kid Icarus fan in North America with a bit of spare cash, you'll need to get yourself to your Amazon account today.
As announced earlier this week, Amazon is running a timed order window to give eager fans the best chance of getting hold of the Palutena amiibo, which is exclusive to the online retail giant in North America. Orders will go live on this product page at 2pm Pacific / 5pm Eastern today, 24th July. As you can see below, it's first-come-first-served with one per customer.
Purchases are limited to 1 per customer, and 1-Click Ordering will be disabled for this item. Please make sure you've updated your credit card and shipping information to help you move quickly through the checkout process.
We have ample quantities of this amiibo, but we still expect to sell out. Please act quickly at 2:00 p.m. PT on Friday for your best chance at buying Palutena. Demand is expected to be very high, and there's no guarantee that she will remain in stock for long.
Here's your reminder, in any case. Are you going to try and get hold of one of these?

And just like that their all gone. That was quick
Scarcity !
Oops, time issues on my part I guess. i thought it was 3PM eastern, not 5. No wait, I knew it was 5, why did I think 3?
@BLPs - I got your email reply at 3PM so I'm watching Amazon for Palentena I can't believe Amazon US has 3 different region amiibo listings - US, Japan, Europe/Australia. I've never seen that for a product before. Oh sure I've seen plenty of stuff on sale from different regions, but not 1 product page w/ separate regions.

I don't have any money for amiibo anyway, I have like 5 different SKylanders games I have to buy - Wii U, dark Wii U, Wii, Dark Wii, and 3DS.
I actually have 2 Palutenas.
Got mine in Japan... £7
@TwilightAngel They're not even up yet, I see what you're trying to pull.
GOOD LUCK, may the goddess of light shine upon you today!
Hopefully with some of the people who import Palutena from JPN and UK, there will be more for the rest of us in the States.
@TwilightAngel it's not time yet
This is a great reminder for people collecting Ambiio! Hopefully these wont sell out too fast before collectors and fans get it.
I was going to get this amiibo, but the detail and features are odd, she looks weird and slightly creepy looking.
@TeeJay @eleccross It was a joke that the pre orders are going to be gone in a blink of an eye. Jesus and TeeJay trying to pull? Pull what? i already got one,and i'll tell you this much it's not worth it.
I'm too busy finishing my collection goal of getting the original Smash Bros. 64 veteran cast. I just need Pikachu, who I'll get after I get paid, and Fox, who I'll import when I'm sure I can afford paying double for an amiibo.
Only a few minutes away. My mouse is ready...
I'll just hope I get lucky... She was my most requested character, so I need her amiibo.
Also on that note, Vote Professor Layton for Smash DLC! I would really appreciate it!
lol, website crashed.
It looks like she is already sold out...
Haven't even seen any sign that she's up for sale yet
Yeah! Got one!
I feel like they lied. The listing still says unavailable.
I just got one!! After refreshing the error page a million times. Whew. Scary.
Just ordered one!
@Ash_Anne Check again!
I wanted to watch, but the site crashed within 2 minutes of listing. Priceless. Oh well, I got mine from Japan anyway
you have to refresh the page a few times
oh amazon...
Got mine ordered! It was helpful having everyone comment on here to know we were all seeing the same thing.
Yah having issues myself (only by luck am I home today!), I'm guessing they have good stock and it'll sort out soon enough.
I also picked up Charizard from TRU earlier, so apparently the restocks are coming, at least for the rarer ones, not the mythic rares tho
Just got mine, keep refreshing people. You can still get one.
Finally got through
keep refreshing! I just got mine at 2:07. they're just bogged down.
Try on your phone if its still throwing out errors, the mobile version seems to be a technically different page, and its how I got one.
Just got mine too!!!! At about the same time after SEVERAL HUNDRED refreshes. I also clicked so fast through the checkout that I ordered 2 day shipping. Had to go back and change that lol
got 1, for a moment i thought it'd never happen.
Yes everyone, just keep refreshing, i do so x amount of times too.
OMG I got one! That was so difficult!
Got one!!! man that was a mission!!!
Try ctrl+f5 if you aren't already.
This is still way better than waiting in line outside a store for over an hour...to tell you they only have 5 available and other non-sense.
I got mine too, but like @Ash_Anne I had to refresh the page million times.
Got mines along with a $35 eShop card so I don't have to pay for shipping.
Wow 10 minutes so far and it's still in stock. They really do have a lot in stock. I guess they weren't joking.
what a relief...lol!
Got one fam.
Got ii Keep refreshing!
Also glad they keep it to 1 per customer...we don't need anybody trying to scalp these.
Got mine on the shipping
I wish for the best for the other good customers...
That was easy
So what's the over/under for running out of stock? Considering Target (in US) had Jigglypuff for almost a week as an online order, I'm guessing Amazon's stock may last a few hours.
edit:
oops prediction is 5 hours!
No hassle, here.
....Might as well, seeing how I'm not going to find Inkling Girl or Shulk anytime soon. >_>
I accidentally bought two. I was using my tablet< and my dads computer at the same time, and his amazon account had his card linked to it so when I pressed checkout it instantly ordered it, at the same time i was putting my info in on the tablet, so I got two ultimately.
Don't worry! I will not be scalping them, I am going to use my extra to trade for another figure.
Super pumped though! I wish the absolute best of luck to everyone else! if you couldn't get one, I might be willing to trade depending on what you have to offer.
again, good luck people!

Still available and it's not crashing at this moment
Apparently Bat-Moves98 is in a double-up mood? (I'm seeing his comment twice)
That said, It is odd, seeing as how I thought 1-click ordering was disabled for this item. Oh well though, I got one so I'm happy.
just got mine!
Mission complete, returning to base.
Yay! I got my Palutena ordered. Thanks for the reminder.
Wow. It's still there. Every amiibo should be this easy to get.
Yeah, I totally forgot and expected them to be gone by now. Didn't have any problem and it's almost a full hour past at this point. Nintendo, why can't they all be this available!?!
Ok, Best buy and gamestop...take notes.
Fiance got it for me!!! I was at the gym when she called me with the good news haha. That's why I'm going to marry that girl!
@crystalorbie yes, mobile is a different version. How I got mine.
@aaronsullivan - My wife is bringing home the package from work today. She held it under water for 5 minutes to make sure it wouldn't explode so I hope it wasn't soluble.
I ordered and got my Palutena at 5:!5. And 5:20 I canceled my order b/c I realized I didn't really want it, was just caught up in the heat of the moment. Now I don't have to buy Ganandorf that I was going to use as a bookend.
Think they're sold out now, cause the page now takes you to the japanese amiibo version order page. Unless the link posted in the article has changed.
@rjejr haha. Hope you like it. It will bring some resolution and water won't hurt it.
I gave it a good thought myself. Staring an available rare amiibo on the store shelf is a risk. Even on a virtual shelf.
Hopefully this is the beginning of an "unprecedented relationship" between Nintendo and Amazon. Just not the EA kind. Imagine if we had restocks this well communicated and stocked from now on.
I got two. Just waited till like 430 central time to avoid the crazy refresher people killing the site
But they're definitely sold out now
Missed out on it, but this is definitely an improvement.
So much for tidying up stock issues, Reggie. My local retailers still have not received any restocks. No meta knight anywhere on the horizon at this rate.
It's still crazy to me that the average shopper would have no idea the variety of amiibo that were available because stock either didn't make it to stores or had no time to be visible on the shelf. Just no way for many people to see some of the cooler looking figures and become interested
@aaronsullivan - You crazy guy!! My whole family is laughing and saying "ahhh, how nice" around the dinner table. I hope you are ok w/ this, aren't your kids going to miss it? I know you started playing the game w/ your daughter. I'm going to keep it in the bag and hang it over the tv just in case you change your mind. Thank you very much. And now I feel stupid for not even getting the "water won't hurt it any" comment, sly dog.
OK, my dinner is getting cold now, but thanks again.
Got mine two weeks ago.
@rjejr Awesome. Glad you're all getting a kick out of it. My kids don't even know it exists so no worries.
I was going to give a stronger hint but your first comment made me think you might be hinting you knew what it could be.
Happy birthday once more.
Meanwhile, in Australia...

Just replace the 'grail' with all the wave's Amiibos. Also, I do in fact have them.
Glad I bought 2 a month ago.
Reggie wasn't lying. Nintendo really has tripled their output in NA.
They just announced to the entire world the exact time it was going live, on one of the largest websites in the world and one that ships globally at that.
And it STILL lasted an hour.
I've had my wave 5a since they released in EU well over a month ago, BUT, this is for my sealed NA set.
Already got wave 5B which arrived the other day. And I've had Yarn Yoshi's for months. And got pre orders locked in for 8-bit Mario, Chibi Robo bundle and the wave 6 Miis already.
Pfft, I meant to buy one today but forgot. Oh well!
Five hours after going on sale, Amazon is already filled with Palutenas being resold for a minimum of $50.
The most baffling part about these scalpers is that they can only sell their $50 - $100 Amiibos because some people have been buying their $50 - $100 Amiibos.
Ah. Those days when i cared about amiibo. The good old days.....
They're still in stock on Amazon.ca currently. I managed to get mine when i got home from work about half an hour ago.
Managed to nab one (the ten minutes it took for the page to go live), and nabbed Groupees' JAST VN bundle on preorder price. A gewd day for lewds.
@Bat-Moves98 I like how you also accidentally posted twice. I myself got my crew together and we bought up like 30. It was a little harder than usual but we managed. I'm kidding, I wish I had a crew. Anyone want to help me start one? If I get twenty people joining I'll design a T-shirt. We won't be scalping amiibos but we can scalp some Nazis. You guys in?
Also I got one. Yay.
@LztheQuack : No my friend, you crashed after two minutes. It's a good thing you already had one because your lack of persistence would have cost you...well really your lack of patience is what cost you since you paid extra for the import. Whatever.
Aaaaaaand it's gone.
Anticipating mania,
I ordered mine from Japan through Amazon. 20 bucks, free shipping.
And she arrived today.
Retailer exclusives in NA must be stopped.
@sleepinglion I have all US retailer exclusives except for 2. you mad bro? (all US bought, at or below MSRP.
I didn't want ness, forgot about this one but didn't really want it.
Might go for dark pit for that sweeet 20% off wth my GCU.
I honestly wasn't too interested in getting Palutena...but I figured I'd get one anyways and offer it to a friend (at the normal price). I did end up getting it (I was surprised how long she was available for) and one of my friends online claimed it. So, i feel happy that she was able to get one from me.
