Nintendo Amiibo Frustrations!

[Holla]

I think it's safe to say no matter where you live in the world Nintendo's Amiibo have us frustrated beyond the World's end. With such a limited quantity of many characters that seem to sell out in less than one day and no planned restocks in the future it's just plain stupid. Like seriously, I bet Nintendo is making big bucks off these little plastic figures that so many of us appear to be crazy about, so why don't they just make more and make even more money? Unless there's some sort of underlying issue I'm not aware about making more should be a win-win situation for everyone. Nintendo would get even more money, and the fans would have more of a chance of getting their beloved plastic figures. Anyone else agree?

Darn you impossible to get Rosalina figure...
That's all my ranting... for now

 

[Hoppy~Shnell]

but we have plenty of Mario amiibos

everyone loves the Mario amiibo

 

[graceroxx]

I guess they're kinda cool, but I'm not paying attention to them. I don't want to see one I like; it's hard enough to save my money as it is. Besides, they don't work with any game systems I own.

 

[Justin]

Yeah it's pretty ridiculous. But at least we know what to expect now. If you want one, be prepared for pre-orders to go up and be on top of it the instant they go up. Of course, in our case in Canada with Rosalina, that wasn't really an option. But that's an exception.

 

[Murray]

You could always settle for a plushie?

 

[00ToxicLove00]

I agree. This limited supply is really dumb. I'm just prepared for any future amiibos I want.

 

[Cress]

Want to be mad?
Look at a picture of a German toy store.
SO. MANY. AMIIBOS. (THAT WE DON'T HAVE)

Literally. I went into work. (Gamestop).
I was asking my boss about new amiibos.
He said he checked targets inventory prior to me coming in. About 30 minutes before.
He said they had 5 Rosalinas and the others.
I rushed to target (RIGHT ACROSS THE STREET) and someone was at the amiibos. They grabbed all three Rosalinas that were left along with the last one of every other. I'm irate.

I would try to steal one from them.

Haha yeah really!

*storms over* "You can't have all three!" *Takes Amiibo from their hand and storms away*

Lol if only it were that easy. I'm too nice.

Lol I'm too nice to but when it come to the rosalina amiibo I won't be nice xD

You literally have no idea how much I contemplated it.
I was thinking, "People steal things from carts on Black Friday, but this is so much more thank Black Friday..."

Just grab it run to the cashier pay run again for your life.

Good luck running from Assets Protection too.

The Amiibo situation is annoying, even more so when even pre-ordering doesn't guarantee success as I remember reading many times that some pre-orders were canceled and then they opened pre-orders back up. Regardless, I'm aiming to pre-order the ones I seriously want from Wave 4 and should that fail will just camp out before opening. :/

Luckily people didn't came out at the target I went to

Yea...Some of us have more important things to do than waiting for novelty figures of Nintendo characters that are purposely under stocked to crop up on pre-orders...Earning the money to buy them in the first place is one of those things.


Nintendo obviously don't want my money. Their loss.

wrong nothing is more imporant than amiigos

 

[JasonBurrows]

I have never had an amiibo preorder cancelled on me.

 

[Zane]

The fact that Nintendo keeps understocking them even after seeing the hype they've generated is just really bad business lol I wish I knew when they were first announced that it was gonna be like this, I wouldn't have walked past so many of the *~rare amiibos~* thinking I could just get it later. :/ O well, the ones I really want (besides Marth) haven't even been announced yet so I won't have to fight anybody for an amiibo for awhile huehue

 

[JCnator]

It's ironic on how North America is supposed to be large enough to never run into issue of not having enough amiibo to cover demands, yet a lot of retailers there only have a ridiculously small space for stocking these things in first place.
