The Shovel Knight amiibo has been up for pre-order on both Best Buy and Amazon. However, the figure ended up “selling out” soon after reservations opened. There’s a simple reason for that: pre-orders weren’t supposed to happen, according to Yacht Club Games.

The studio mentioned on Reddit that stock for the Shovel Knight amiibo shouldn’t be an issue. It’s anticipated that there should be enough figures to go around at launch, not to mention that “refresh shipments will continue arriving frequently.”

“Hopefully I can clarify things a little! The Best Buy/Amazon preorders were not taken down due to stock issues, but because they should not have been listed for preorder in the first place! Stock should (hopefully!) be plentiful at release, and refresh shipments will continue arriving frequently.”
