Originally, the Dark Pit amiibo was thought to be a Best Buy exclusive in Canada. There’s been talk since then that this wouldn’t be the case, but it wasn’t until today that we received concrete information.

Walmart is now listing the Dark Pit amiibo on its Canadian website. While the listing isn’t live yet, this means that Best Buy won’t be the only retailer in the country to be selling the figure. That’s good news for amiibo fans in Canada!

Nintendo will be including six cards with the Animal Crossing amiibo card packs when they launch in North America. It’s being handled differently in Japan, as there will only be three random cards in each pack. We now also know what the situation will be like in Europe.

Nintendo’s website from Norway confirms that there will only be three cards in each of the Animal Crossing amiibo booster packs in Europe, much like Japan. One of these includes a “special card”.

Update 2: Charizard, Wario, and Silver Mario still appear to be up. Others are gone.

Update: Shulk is gone, but Ness, Charizard, and Wario are in stock here. There’s also a bundle here (Shulk, Dedede, Pit, Silver Mario, Ness).

GameStop currently has the Shulk amiibo in stock. Get yours here. It likely won’t last long, but hopefully a couple of you will be able to get an order in!

A short while ago, Amazon announced that it will be the exclusive retailer to be offering the Palutena amiibo in both the U.S. and Canada. A representative for the site has since shared some additional information about what to expect.

The rep stated:

A few things to keep in mind, that we learned before wave 4:

1) We want to avoid resellers as much as possible, so she’ll be limited to 1 per customer.
2) We’re going to let everyone know when she’ll go on sale ahead of time.
3) That time will be during “normal business hours” (No 2:30am releases).
4) We learned from wave 4 that the time “windows” aren’t much different from just announcing a time, so I think that’s what we’ll be doing.

Also, we have a lot more stock than we’ve had of any other amiibo yet. I know we’ll end up selling out, but I think it’ll be closer to the Splatoon 3-pack or Charizard or something rather than Lucina/Robin in terms of how long they’re available (~15 mins after available). If you show up on time, you should be able to get one.

The same rep added, “I know that there’s a lot of concern, but these are not going to disappear instantly like Lucina/Robin. I’m confident that if you show up when they go on sale, you should be able to get one.”

Amazon will be selling the Palutena amiibo on July 24. More specifics are due on July 22.
