Amiibo communities have been in a flurry following discoveries of unannounced amiibo in in-store displays. The news started with Animal Crossing’s Timmy and Tommy being spotted as Target exclusive in an in-store Target display:
Of note, the display also shows Famicom R.O.B., the previously Japanese-exclusive color variation of R.O.B. Meanwhile, Roy was found to be GameStop exclusive through a GameStop display:
Following this, Kapp’n and Rover (another Animal Crossing group) were spotted in another system.
Finally, Ryu was spotted in a Toys ‘R Us display:
While this seems like a ton of announcements, there may be more — amiibo fans are rushing out to check displays in their nearby store. We will update as more news becomes available.
Thanks for the tip, Bobo Dodo.
Man, I’m really over this whole Amiibo thing. All the characters I want being near impossible to find at first didn’t help matters, but they just don’t really do as much for the games they’re compatible with as I had hoped.
I better keep a very strong eye out for my boy Roy! I’m gonna have at least one Fire Emblem amiibo even if I have to kill for it! (Only kidding, but ya get the point!)
Noo, I totally think you’re being literal. :D
Dude, go to Best Buy- as far as I know, they all got a ton of Marths- to the point where a friend I was with said “remember when Marth was considered Unicorn?”
Also I feel the same way about Lucas- NOTHING’S gonna stop me from getting him on launch.
STOP KILLING MY WALLET!!
Roy GameStop exclusive… I’ll keep that in mind.
Maybe with Roy being a store exclusive I won’t have to kill a man just to see one in person.
The one I’m most concerned about going rare is Ryu since he’s third party. I don’t care if I have to wait months after release for Roy, I need Lucas and Ryu day 1.
That’s what people said about Mega Man, Sonic and PacMan. And those never ended up being being very hard to find.
My prediction is Ryu ends up being fairly common like the other 3rd party characters. Unless they have a shorter supply simply because he’s a DLC fighter – even though I’m sure the DLC for Smash sold extremely well. Who knows.
Thank goodness I can ignore this wave. I’m still trying to get prior releases.
Need Roy…that is it.

Why do these show the Japanese version of R.O.B.?
The idea is that Famicom R.O.B. will be making its way over here.
