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!
