Yesterday, we heard that the Meta Knight amiibo could be potentially returning to Best Buy. Now we’re hearing something similar with the Lucario and King Dedede figures at Toys “R” Us.

Reddit user “ziggary”, an employee at the retailer, was able to find out that over 1,800 Lucario amiibo are sitting at one distribution center. There are also over 200 King Dedede units in the same area. It’s unclear if a restock is actually happening, but this is a positive sign.

Nintendo has announced via one of its Twitter accounts that the gold and silver Mario amiibo will be sold in both Australia and New Zealand.

At Target, consumers will have an opportunity to nab the gold Mario. EB Games intends to sell the Mario – Silver Edition amiibo.

Note that both of these retailers will have “only a limited number available” of their respective figures. The Mario – Silver Edition amiibo launches on May 30, but there’s no word yet as to when the gold version is releasing.

An internal notice from GameStop confirms that the retailer will not be taking pre-orders for the Mario – Silver Edition amiibo. Supply at the retailer is expected to be “limited”, and there will not be “any replenishments.”

If other retailers take pre-orders for the Mario – Silver Edition amiibo, we’ll be sure to let you know.

It’s looking very likely that Best Buy is planning a restock of the Meta Knight amiibo. Over 5,300 units of the figure have been listed for one of the retailer’s distribution center, which should mean that additional stock will be making its way to stores sometime in the future. We’ll keep you updated on the situation as it develops.

Amazon Canada is now taking pre-orders for the silver Mario amiibo. Reservations can be placed here. Keep in mind that Amazon Canada doesn’t ship to the U.S., sadly!

Just like with other retailers, Amazon Canada lists a May 29 release date for the silver Mario amiibo. That still hasn’t been confirmed by Nintendo at this point, but it’s pretty much a lock.

We have been seeing Marth amiibo restocks trickling in so far this May. Amazon has momentarily had some available, so quick in fact there wasn’t even time to get the news out. Now GameStop seems to be plagued with the same issue. Reports are currently indicating that although select GameStop’s are seeing Marth amiibo’s restocked, they are only receiving one or two per location. At this time the best course of action would probably be to call or stop in to your local shop and see if they have any available. Currently there is no confirmation of whether Marth will be made available on their website but stay tuned for more details.

The restock of the Marth amiibo is happening – slowly but surely. Amazon has been taking orders during very, very brief periods (so brief in fact that by the time we’d put a post up, the figure would already be sold out). GameStop is now joining in on the fun as well.

Marth isn’t available online, but you may have luck finding him in-store. GameStop’s inventory tracker indicates that the amiibo is starting to appear at some locations. You can try finding a nearby GameStop outlet that has the Marth figure here.

Nintendo has announced the release dates for several upcoming amiibo.

Ganondorf, Zero Suit Samus, Dark Pit, and Palutena are due out on June 26. Bowser Jr., Dr. Mario, and Pikmin & Olimar amiibo are releasing on July 17.

The situation is much different in North America. Dark Pit and Palutena are coming in July, while all of other figures aren’t planned for launch until September.
