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

We have an image of another amiibo costume included in Super Mario Maker. Above, you can get a first look at the silver Mario outfit (which may also feature the Super Mario 64 finishing jingle if a Miiverse post is to be believed). The gold Mario figure works as well, but we don’t have any screenshots of it just yet.

Thanks to Anthony for the tip.
