amiibo for Mii Fighters are Toys “R” Us exclusive in North America
Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 8 Comments
Although some amiibo are losing their retailer exclusivity in North America, a new set of upcoming figures will be sold at just one store. It turns out that the amiibo for the Mii Fighters will be distributed at only Toys “R” Us. That information is based on the image above, which is a photo snapped from a display.
All of the Mii Fighters are scheduled for November 1. You’d have to think that after a few months have passed, the amiibo will be available at other retailers as well.

Last month, a listing was spotted on Toys “R” Us for a physical version of Giana Sisters: Twisted Dreams Director’s Cut. The game had been on track for September 8 (yes, tomorrow!), but it seems as though a delay has entered the picture. Toys “R” Us now lists Giana Sisters: Twisted Dreams Director’s Cut for October 9.
Thanks to Jared for the tip.
Bowser Jr. amiibo officially a Toys “R” Us exclusive in the United States
Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 7 Comments
It’s official: the Bowser Jr. amiibo will only be available at Toys “R” Us in the United States. This was thought to be the case given how it’s also an exclusive in Canada.
Toys “R” Us tweeted out the following a short while ago:
Our exclusive Bowser Jr. #amiibo is available 9/11, in store only & while supplies last! pic.twitter.com/oClLZUTNKH

Skylanders SuperChargers Dark Edition (Wii) exclusive to Toys “R” Us
Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii | 6 Comments
Toys “R” Us put up a message on its Twitter account today indicating that it will be selling the Dark Hammer Slam Bowser figure later in the week. Moreover, this tweet was a suggestion of the retailer being the exclusive retailer for the Skylanders/amiibo. Unfortunately, it’s created a big misunderstanding.
Dark Edition Bowser available exclusively at TRU in-store and online this week! Stay tuned!! #Skylanders https://t.co/FsMqrgLmWJ

Toys “R” Us will not be selling the standalone Dark Hammer Slam Bowser figure. Rather, pre-orders will be opening for the Skylanders SuperChargers Dark Edition, which will in fact be exclusive to Toys “R” Us. That makes sense given how Activision previously said that the Dark Edition figures would only be made available through Starter Packs. It’s still a stinky situation since, ultimately, the only way to obtain Dark Hammer Slam Bowser is by purchasing the Dark Edition Starter Pack for Wii at Toys “R” Us.
Toys “R” Us starting to restock Lucario and King Dedede amiibo, Marth on May 29
Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 12 Comments
The Lucario and King Dedede amiibo are starting to reappear at Toys “R” Us – well, at least in one state. A Reddit user from Kansas managed to obtain both figures today. This could be an indication that other Toys “R” Us outlets around the United States will soon be receiving new inventory as well.
Aside from Lucario and King Dedede, the Marth amiibo should begin showing up again at Toys “R” Us starting on May 29. A separate Reddit user posted this photo earlier today:
New stock of Lucario and King Dedede amiibo found at Toys “R” Us warehouse

Yesterday, we heard that the Meta Knight amiibo could be potentially returning to Best Buy. Now we’re hearing something similar with the Lucario and King Dedede figures at Toys “R” Us.
Reddit user “ziggary”, an employee at the retailer, was able to find out that over 1,800 Lucario amiibo are sitting at one distribution center. There are also over 200 King Dedede units in the same area. It’s unclear if a restock is actually happening, but this is a positive sign.

Update: Orders reinstated – Toys “R” Us cancelling some in-store pre-orders for Greninja amiibo
Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 4 Comments
Update: Good news! Toys “R” Us is reinstating orders. See the email below.
Toys “R” Us opened in-store pre-orders for the Greninja and Pac-Man amiibo yesterday. Greninja was naturally the main attraction here, as it’s exclusive to the retailer. Unfortunately, everything didn’t go as planned. Some consumers started receiving emails from Toys “R” Us today indicating their pre-orders have been cancelled due to a lack of stock.
There’s not much to say other than this is an absolutely awful situation. I can’t imagine getting up early and standing in line, only to have my pre-order randomly cancelled!
