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.
