Gold Mario amiibo will be sold in Walmart stores, pre-orders apparently not happening
Update: Walmart’s tweets have now been pulled. Make of that what you will!
A tweet from Walmart Canada officially confirms the existence of Nintendo’s gold Mario amiibo, though it was pretty much a sure thing at this point.
In one tweet, the retailer says that the figure will be sold in stores. A release date still hasn’t been determined.
@whosfourm Thanks for asking! We are getting the gold Mario amiibo in stores but we don't have a date yet.

A second tweet from Walmart Canada seems to confirm that there won’t be pre-orders for the gold Mario amiibo:
@AmiiboLover Hi there. We're not having a pre-sale for the gold Mario amiibos.

I imagine that things won’t be any different for Walmart stores in the United States. However, if we hear otherwise, we’ll be sure to let you know.
