Yarn Yoshi amiibo pre-orders impacted at a few European retailers due to destroyed stock
Update: Some clarification from “info amiibo”:
Actually, Yarn Yoshi pre-orders cancellations are only coming from France at the moment and they were first reported on @infoamiibo. Auchan (a major retailer) said on twitter Nintendo France destroyed bundles and amiibo, and the same goes for Boulanger (another major french retailer) who told us exactly the same thing. I reached to Nintendo France for more information about this.
So here’s something rather strange that we’re hearing about. Apparently some Yarn Yoshi amiibo pre-orders are being impacted at select European retailers – particularly in France – due to destroyed stock.
We’re not entirely sure about the particulars of the situation, but there’s no reason to worry about this being a widespread issue just yet. It’s also possible that this may have been an innocuous mistake rather than someone intentionally destroying stock.
