Rumor: GameStop not taking pre-orders for various amiibo launching on Sept. 11

The amiibo board over on Reddit has received word that GameStop will not be taking pre-orders for a number of figures launching on September 11 in the United States. Supposedly, there are no plans to take reservations for Ganondorf, Zero Suit Samus, Olimar, and 8-Bit Classic Mario. This information comes from a memo distributed “to certain tiers of GameStop management.”

While there won’t be any pre-orders, we’re hearing that a limited amount of each figures will be offered through GameStop’s website. Also, allocation sent to each store will depend on previous amiibo sales.

Here’s what the stock numbers look like for one store (will vary by each location):

Ganondorf ~10
Zero Suit Samus 116904 ~13
Olimar ~12
8-Bit Classic Mario ~10
