GameStop opened pre-orders for the wave 4 Smash Bros. amiibo earlier today. All reservations were handled in-store (web-in-store, to be specific), and they were never available online.

A notice posted on GameStop’s Facebook account now states that all wave 4 amiibo have sold out. It’s unclear if this is only for web-in-store pre-orders, or all orders in general. If it’s the latter, I’m sure many consumers will be unhappy!

Update (4/2): It appears that online pre-orders won’t be opening today after all. Instead, you’ll need to head to your local GameStop and place a web-in-store order.

Following today’s Nintendo Direct announcements, GameStop will soon be opening pre-orders for the new amiibo. As of tomorrow, consumers will be able to reserve Ness (again, GameStop exclusive), Robin, Charizard, Pac-Man, Lucina, and Wario. That’s in addition to the new Splatoon amiibo as well.

GameStop’s pre-orders will go live at 3 PM ET / 12 PM PT. We’ll update the site as soon as they’re available.
