Update: Not true after all – Target only letting customers purchase a total of 2 amiibo on Friday

Update: Target is now saying the opposite on the same Twitter account. I’m not sure where the confusion originated from, but at least the situation wasn’t as poor as we thought!
@VerxlTMathman Limit 2 Amiibo per character, not total basket, You can buy multiple characters just not more than 2 of each. Thanks!

Target will be handling the launch of Friday’s new amiibo in a peculiar way. We’re not sure why this is, but customers will only be allowed to purchase two figures in total. That means you could go with a combination like Charizard and Wario, but that’s it. Just two.
The official “AskTarget” Twitter account posted the following earlier today, which has since been backed up by other employees:
@RVAgeek Good question! You'll be able to purchase two Amiibo in total on your visit. Thanks and have a great weekend!

I can absolutely understand limiting things to one of each character. Only allowing customers to purchase a total of two figures, though? That seems a tad crazy. If Target wasn’t offering the exclusive Jigglypuff amiibo, I doubt many people would be trying their luck there!
Target’s internal memo for next week’s amiibo launch says figures won’t be replenished
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 2 Comments
Target has started sending out an internal memo about next week’s Nintendo releases. A good portion of the letter is about the new amiibo, which launch on May 29.
The big takeaway here is that Target expects quick sell-outs (as expected), but figures “will not be replenished.” It’s also worth stating that there will be a limit of two amiibo characters per guest, and Lucina/Robin won’t be offered “in low-volume stores.”
You can get a look at the memo in full above.
Get a Splatoon squirt gun when you buy the game at Target

Well, this is certainly one of the more unique pre-order bonuses I’ve seen in a while. When you buy Splatoon at Target, you get an exclusive Splatoon-branded squirt gun for free as long as supplies last.
Rumor: Target’s inventory for new Smash Bros. amiibo, Splatoon, silver Mario, Marth restock
Posted on 9 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.
Target done taking pre-orders for the Jigglypuff amiibo
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 5 Comments
Target opened pre-orders for the Jigglypuff amiibo a couple of times, and in both cases, they sold out very quickly. Unfortunately, the retailer has now confirmed that it will no longer be taking on any additional reservations.
You can still try your luck in-store on May 29. Target.com may also have a bit of additional inventory on that same day as well.
A representative told Amiibo Inquirer:
That’s correct. The Jigglypuff Amiibo has been popular! No additional preorders are being taken. Guests can visit stores or Target.com on May 29. Quantities will be limited.
