30th Anniversary Mario – Modern Color amiibo may not be exclusive to the Super Mario Maker Wii U bundle
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 5 Comments
Earlier this week, Nintendo finally confirmed the Super Mario Maker Wii U bundle for North America. We learned that it will come with the 30th Anniversary Mario – Modern Color amiibo, which was thought to be exclusive to the newly-announced package. However, that may not actually be true.
Last night, a Walmart Canada employee shared a planogram, which shows the 30th Anniversary Mario – Modern Color amiibo on the rack. This indicates that the figure will not be exclusive to the Super Mario Maker Wii U bundle… though now there’s speculation going around that the amiibo will only be sold at Walmart.

Yesterday some news emerged confirming that Target will be the only store in the U.S. to be selling the Dr. Mario amiibo. In similar news, we’re now hearing about another retailer exclusive.
If you’re in Canada and want to get your hands on the Bowser Jr. figure, you’ll need to make a purchase at Toys “R” Us. It’s also worth mentioning that the amiibo will likely be exclusive to the retailer in the United States as well given how Lucario and Greninja were handled.

Rare amiibo figures expected to be restocked in North America soon
Posted on 9 years ago by Brady(@emitremmus22) in General Nintendo, News | 10 Comments
CPSIA (Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act) registration forms have been filed by Nintendo of America for a number of hard to find amiibo figures. Among those included are the Splatoon 3-Pack, Little Mac, Villager, Ike and Marth. Historically, amiibo figure restocks occur around one or two months after their CPSIA registration.
Hopefully this shows Nintendo’s commitment to making all amiibo figures more easily available to consumers, and will make the amiibo hunt a little less strenuous for collectors.
