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

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.
Marth amiibo restocks appear to be extremely limited
Posted on 10 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.
Marth amiibo starting to reappear at some GameStop stores
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 2 Comments
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.

Rumor: Target’s inventory for new Smash Bros. amiibo, Splatoon, silver Mario, Marth restock
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, Rumors | 4 Comments
The moderation team over on Reddit has posted unconfirmed figures for Target’s inventory of upcoming amiibo. Supposedly, the information was obtained from a trusted source, and indicates how much stock the retailer has for figures like the upcoming Smash Bros. and Splatoon figures.
As expected, Lucina and Robin will end up being the toughest to find. Marth’s restock also seems to be rather small, although that also isn’t a major surprise.
Yoshi’s Woolly World also works with non-Yoshi amiibo for design unlocks

Yoshi’s Woolly World will be compatible with more than just the upcoming plushies and Yoshi figures. As revealed through the game’s Australian packaging, other amiibo such as Mario, Luigi, Peach and “more” unlock Yoshi designs based on the character scanned. No images yet, sadly!

Replenishment of amiibo coming to Japan on May 14th, more to follow early June
Posted on 10 years ago by Dennis Gagliardotto(@LyonHart_) in News | 4 Comments
Nintendo just announced via their Twitter that they will have a new shipment of amiibo for Japan on May 14th. The figures in question are Fox, Wii Fit Trainer, and Pit. After that shipment, in early June, Rosalina and Mega Man will be replenished.
We’ve known for a while now that there have been plans to have supply meet demand at some point. Though it’s obvious America is in the most dire situation, hopefully this is a sign of good things to come. We have to start somewhere!
