No weekly Just a Chat, but you can catch up on the E3-specific discussion Austin and I held earlier this week. It’s probably a good thing we got that in on Wednesday since whatever I’ve come down with has taken a lot out of me. Being sick isn’t fun!

Nintendo shared some pretty big news about its E3 2015 plans today, so Brian and Austin talk about it all in this episode of Just a Chat. That includes the Nintendo World Championships and Digital Event. There’s also some discussion about what Nintendo may/may not show during its presentation and more!

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:

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.
