Store amiibo Displays Point to Roy, Ryu, Famicom R.O.B and More Animal Crossing Figures on the Way

Yay for Roy! I was hoping he wouldn't be exclusive, but it looks like he is... oh well, I hope I can still get him!

Finally, I was waiting for the Ryu since his inclusion in the game and Nintendo's statement that every Smash character will get his own Amiibo.

Good job by Nintendo getting Wolf Link amiibo out there, it doesn't just promote the amiibo, it promotes the entire TP HD game.

My Target is barely stocking amiibo anymore, only Dr. Mario. And man, the entire Nintneod section in Gamestop is so tiny, they need all their room for swag. Did have the Spaltoon 3 pack though, so a much better section than Target. i think the amiibo display is bigger than the entire Wii U display.

R.O.B's an interesting one. Guess they're avoiding us collectors making Japan run dry of their R.O.B Amiibos...

I'm going to have to put my car up for collateral at this point! XD

@rjejr
I really do feel sorry for all you people in North America. We in the UK had the stock problem until around July and then the it was suddenly fixed. In fact, just the other day I went into a GAME Store (UK's equivalent of Game Stop) and they had two entire shelves stocked full of amiibo's. It wasn't just the common ones, either; from what I can remember, the only amiibo's from the Smash Bros Wave that they didn't seem to have were Lucario and Villager (who seem to be the only ones that were never restocked). We also don't have any store exclusive amiibo's either, which I always thought was a terrible idea in NA since it just makes getting amiibo's even harder (especially for collectors).

These amiibos seem to look quite good, which I was expecting since amiibo's always do! I just wonder what Roy's face will look like; I've found that it only really seems to be Marth and Robin who have terrible faces so I am holding out hope.

As a collector (I'm hoping to get all amiibo's in the Smash range but I don't really care about the others) and these being two amiibo's I've wanted to get the most (Roy is my main and I want to display all the 3rd Party amiibo together) I was going to get these anyway, but it's good to know that they also look quite good!

Same in Germany, buying Amiibo is not a problem anymore, there's plenty even weeks after a premiere ^_^ I'm going to get the newcomers, they all look awesome

There's a few indie shops in Glasgow that have a good supply of Amiibo so I feel for the Americans. Still though, ROY!!!! I've been waiting for him so long.

@Transmutation It's a lot better these days. At Toys R Us, I found Villager, Captain Falcon, Greninja, the Mii 3-Pack, and Lucario just sitting on the shelf. The stock issues are getting better. Attitudes about things just tend to burn longer here in America, even if it isn't the case anymore, y'know?

The amiibo situation is indeed now ridiculously good in the UK. I paid £30 for jigglypuff out of desperation after my Nintendo UK Store order got initially cancelled, saw it for £9.99 in HMV at Milton Keynes today! Along with Ness, Greninja, 30th Anniversary Mario, Bowser, King Dedede, Meta Knight, Game & Watch and more. all a mere £9.99, which is even less than the RRP!

Now that I no longer seem to have any problems getting the amiibos I want at regular price, I'm a bit more optimistic about new releases. I don't think I want any of these exactly, but I'm at least not going to ignore these announcements anymore!

@rjejr EBGames is basically this here in Canada. Not much on the games front, but they always have all the 3-Packs (except the Mii one), and some really random amiibo here and there like Zero Suit Samus and Olimar. They also never seem to run out of those "Classic" Marios...

Give me MOOOOOOOOOOARRRR Animal Crossing abiimo's ):[

Still waiting for the female Robin amiibo... :/

@rjejr
Target is moving all their Amiibos to their online store for various reasons.

With that said I will probably cave and buy Timmy & Tommy, Rover and Kapp'n (don't give me a speech about my Animal Crossing Fandom!)

Surprised to see Famicom ROB. I thought it was going to stay Japan exclusive.

Will need Ryu, Roy and Rob.

I'm surprised Ryu isn't a retailer exclusive.

Looks like I'm actually not importing ROB any more! I can wait!

Only getting the Smash Amiibos still, so Roy, Ryu, Lucas, and ROB are the only ones I'm getting. Couldn't care less about Animal Crossing...

I just hope they restock Palutena. And not just on Amazon...

I'm looking forward to/dreading getting Roy, Tommy+Timmy should be easy. I HOPE I CAN GET WOLF LINK SO I DON'T HAVE TO DROP $60 ON AN HD REMAKE.

Wow, the US is getting every amiibo now that they're getting Famicom ROB. Meanwhile in Europe, we still haven't seen Silver Mario, Gold Mario, Famicom ROB, and nothing in the direct for Gold Mega Man.

Sometimes, I think Nintendo doesn't want my money.

@World @Transmutation Oh yeah, Gamestop also had that 3 pack w/ Duck Hunt dog and 2 others, maybe R.O.B. and Game and Watch? Pretty decent selection considering. And I do know TRU is better, but I don't get in there much. And I don't like their mark ups on all the toys to life. B1G140% off equals my 5% of at Target. And I save money on gas.

@Xenocity Target putting them online means pretty much everybody will just buy them at Amazon. Their Nintendo aisle is so small. Wonder where the NX games will go?

Timmy and Tommy cuteness OVERLOAD

"Looks like Roy's GameStop exclusive."

Dadgummit, Nintendo, knock it off with the store exclusives already.

@rjejr Yeah, it was Game & Watch. He was #1 on my to-get list. My other one was...KK Slider, which I ALSO found this weekend in his three-pack just at EBGames. So really better stock means I literally look like three times the amiibo fan I really am.

I would like to have the Midna, Ryu, and Kapp'n ones.

I will buy Roy only if he is compatible with Fire Emblem Fates.

It's finally setting in for me that Cloud is almost guaranteed to get an Amiibo. Isn't that something? Really makes me curious if we might actually see the FFVII remake on NX.

I'm really glad the Midna amiibo will be sold separately from TPHD. I hope Hyrule Warriors gets an update to make it give you a Shackle (or a Mirror, if you've unlocked Twili Midna) instead of a random prize like any non-Zelda amiibo. Either way, I'm glad I get to download TPHD instead of getting the physical copy just for the amiibo.

Ryu and a solo R.O.B., for sure! Maybe Roy, too. Maybe.

Let's hope Famicom ROB's coming to europe as well! Alongside Gold and Silver Mario!

@nessisonett Is there? I've only seen one GAME store with a decent selection, HMV is meh and then the rest of the shops seem to not sell them...
I did manage to get a Villager amiibo though so I guess that's pretty good.

So many Animal Crossing amiibo. And that's not even taking into account the amiibo cards!

I shudder to think how many Pokémon amiibo they'll release, eventually. T_T

@rjejr I got a Splatoon 3-pack at gamestop.

All of the Animal Crossing amiibo are adorable. I need most of them. Need.

@Kimyonaakuma Yeah G-Force Games in Glasgow have a really good selection of games and they have an Amiibo wall. Most of the time it's common ones like Zelda or Pikachu but I managed to get Lucario there so I'm happy.

Could use a black Friday roundup article too! I know I've seen Ike at Gamestop, and modern Mario at walmart. I wonder what target and best buy will have.

Considering I already have the rest of the Fire Emblem amiibos, I'm probably going to pick up Roy. It sucks that he's gamestop exclusive though.

Im definitely going to get Lucas though.

Cool.

@nessisonett Oh yeah completely forgot about that place! I'll check it out soon and see what they've got. Thanks in advance if they have Lucario!

@Transmutation

Villager was restocked at Argos but he's extremely overpriced there. He occasionally pops up on Amazon, too.
