Update: That was quick! Toys “R” Us has already confirmed this in a statement.

An official Facebook comment published by Toys “R” Us suggests that in-store pre-orders for the Greninja amiibo will be held on April 27. Quantities are expected to be limited.

Toys “R” Us opened online pre-orders for the Greninja amiibo in the early hours this morning. In just a few minutes, they sold out.

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 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.

GameStop opened pre-orders for the wave 4 Smash Bros. amiibo earlier today. All reservations were handled in-store (web-in-store, to be specific), and they were never available online.

A notice posted on GameStop’s Facebook account now states that all wave 4 amiibo have sold out. It’s unclear if this is only for web-in-store pre-orders, or all orders in general. If it’s the latter, I’m sure many consumers will be unhappy!

Update (4/2): It appears that online pre-orders won’t be opening today after all. Instead, you’ll need to head to your local GameStop and place a web-in-store order.

Following today’s Nintendo Direct announcements, GameStop will soon be opening pre-orders for the new amiibo. As of tomorrow, consumers will be able to reserve Ness (again, GameStop exclusive), Robin, Charizard, Pac-Man, Lucina, and Wario. That’s in addition to the new Splatoon amiibo as well.

GameStop’s pre-orders will go live at 3 PM ET / 12 PM PT. We’ll update the site as soon as they’re available.

Note that Greninja will be exclusive to Toys “R” Us, Ness is a GameStop exclusive, and Jigglypuff is a Target exclusive, so they can’t be reserved at Best Buy.
