Update: Restock rumored for summer – Rumor: Meta Knight amiibo discontinued at Best Buy
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, Rumors | 3 Comments
Update: Double rumor! There’s now speculation that Meta Knight will return sometime this summer at Best Buy. A corporate-level employee at the retailer has apparently said that the restock will be happening, but a date hasn’t been shared yet.
The Meta Knight amiibo appears to have been discontinued at Best Buy.
On Saturday, Best Buy listed the figure as “Active”. But today, that changed to “Deleted”. Because items tend to stay “Deleted” once they’ve reached that status, the assumption is that Meta Knight won’t be returning to Best Buy in the future.
We’ll let you know if we hear anything official about the Meta Knight amiibo going forward.

Update: Some translations of what was shared on Twitter:
We got a picture of the Splatoon Amiibos!
First, we’d like to introduce the Girl.
Those characteristic eye markings, her clear hair(?), all of these things and more have been reproduced. She’s cute from every angle… uh, um, as an example, it’s been a great success!
And so this is the Squid amiibo.
The model kinda looks like it could appear out of ink and capture territory in a second, huh?
The squid’s model is great, but the brace (the ink below) is beautiful.
At any rate, I haven’t heard of a lot of squid figurines before…
Nintendo’s ink-filled third-person shooter, Splatoon, launches on May 29th and brings along three amiibo with it on launch day. Announced during the Nintendo Direct on Thursday, Splatoon would be getting its own line of amiibo featuring three figures of the likes of Inkling Girl, Inkling Boy, and a Squid. You can purchase them individually or as a bundle, but the Squid is currently only available in the bundled package.
Splatoon’s official Twitter just posted a detailed look at the three figures, giving you a 360 degree impression of what the three figures look like from front to back. You can also view individual shots of the amiibo here. Check it out!
UPDATE: Gone — Lucina, Robin, and Greninja amiibo now live at Toys R Us

UPDATE 3: Greninja is no more. All amiibo officially gone.
UPDATE 2: Greninja is barely holding on. Issues with adding to cart or checking out.
UPDATE: Literally moments after the amiibo went live and this was posted, they’ve all sold out… you monsters.
Those two Fire Emblem characters that were predictably hard to come by today for preorders (imagine when they “release”) are now available at Toys R Us! Hurry over and get your chance to pick up Lucina, Robin, and the Toys R Us exclusive Greninja!
Wave 4 of the Super Smash Bros. line is set to release on May 29th, alongside the brand new Splatoon amiibo and Splatoon.
