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.

Marth amiibo restocks appear to be extremely limited
Posted on 9 years ago by Kirara Koneko(@KiraraKoneko) in New Nintendo 3DS, News, Wii U | 4 Comments
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.
