Target done taking pre-orders for the Jigglypuff amiibo
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 5 Comments
Target opened pre-orders for the Jigglypuff amiibo a couple of times, and in both cases, they sold out very quickly. Unfortunately, the retailer has now confirmed that it will no longer be taking on any additional reservations.
You can still try your luck in-store on May 29. Target.com may also have a bit of additional inventory on that same day as well.
A representative told Amiibo Inquirer:
That’s correct. The Jigglypuff Amiibo has been popular! No additional preorders are being taken. Guests can visit stores or Target.com on May 29. Quantities will be limited.

Update: Restock rumored for summer – Rumor: Meta Knight amiibo discontinued at Best Buy
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, Rumors | 3 Comments
Update: Double rumor! There’s now speculation that Meta Knight will return sometime this summer at Best Buy. A corporate-level employee at the retailer has apparently said that the restock will be happening, but a date hasn’t been shared yet.
The Meta Knight amiibo appears to have been discontinued at Best Buy.
On Saturday, Best Buy listed the figure as “Active”. But today, that changed to “Deleted”. Because items tend to stay “Deleted” once they’ve reached that status, the assumption is that Meta Knight won’t be returning to Best Buy in the future.
We’ll let you know if we hear anything official about the Meta Knight amiibo going forward.
