Well, this is certainly odd! Rumours are coming in from Twitter and NeoGAF that a portion of the Yarn Yoshi amiibo figures have been destroyed by an individual or group. Because this has happened pre-orders across Europe are currently being canceled and notifications have started to go out to those that preordered the amiibo figures.
Update: “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.”

Humanity takes another fall. This is just petty tbh.
Someone doesn’t like Yoshi it seems…
Someone wasn’t happy w/ Nintendo’s digital event and took
their aggression out on the amiibo, on the yarn yoshis,
that’s more like it.
That seems plausible after what they did, but Yoshi becoming the scapegoat for Metroid and AC, poor wooly Yoshi…
lol
Actually, I think Mario is to blame. He hit poor Yarn Yoshi with a fireball, and that’s all it took.
Mario’s fireballs are tremendously powerful so we really can’t rule out that possibility…at least not yet!
…some men aren’t looking for anything logical, like money. They can’t be bought, bullied, reasoned, or negotiated with. Some men just want to watch the world burn.
That’s true and it’s true for many such individuals. It’s really too bad.
Thank you Alfred. XD
I see what you did there. Lmao.
Totally the work of a dog chasing cars. ;)
Or they might think amiibos and the people who buy them are pure cancer and are only a detriment to Nintendo games moving forward.
Or they might be complete assholes who hate cool coolectables.
Im sure that competitors pays Hitmans to attack Nintendo, like many mexican presidents and stuff that hire hitmans to destroy opossition.
I wouldn’t be surprised tbh. Nintendo is alone against the world and they don’t even have third party support to protect them despite Nintendo claiming that they would get some at E3.
where do you get your bad rumors from
lol, looks like I’m not the only one that has had enough of this amiibo dogshit. Poor Yoshi though, anyone but Yoshi.
I sure as FUCK hope not. That’d mean the only four amiibo I’ve ordered would be cancelled, what with the Splatoon copies being stolen.
“There’s no indication that North American stock has been damaged.”
Of course, because it comes out there in 4 months…
That’s very true! Forgot about that. Sorry to the peeps in the US!
Peeps are delicious.
>>>More useless apes that need to be destroyed so I can laugh at their useless primitive corpses if this is true>>>
Lol this is fucking hilarious.
nice new pic
Thanks bitch!
If I were you I’d rather keep them alive to make them suffer
About that… I shouldn’t share this because it’s confidential. But… High Command sent some of our elite troopers to find these guys and bring them back to our home planet for punishment. The punishment, facing Kraid with just their bare hands. And those that survive, have the honor of facing Commander Ridley. We’re televising it on the internet at the price of 29.99 Earth Dollars and Cents.
>>>I’ll corrupt everyone else to my rule under High Command’s agenda>>>
Wait a damn minute! Why wasn’t I informed of this!? I don’t feel like fighting people right now. I’m on vacation! Get one of my clones from the fridge to fight in my steed! lol
Sorry Commander, but this order comes from Mother Brain herself. We tried to get Weavel instead, but he is busy in Quadrant Alpha tracking down a rumor of a powerful doomsday weapon. And about your clones… Something went wrong, turns out one of the tech guys got drunk and messed with the cryogenic controls. None of them survived…
Well Mother Brain can kiss my ass! We all know I’m the real leader of this stuff. She’s just the tactician! *runs-… err, flies away*
…GET BACK HERE YOU OVERGROWN IGUANA! ‘Takes a deep breath and speaks loud enough’ Guess you also won’t be interested in the pay bonus you would of gotten had you gone through with it. I guess we COULD give it to Crocomire…
HE CAN HAVE IT!!! HIS SKELETON COULD USE THE MONEY TO GET SOME NEW MUSCLE & SKIN!!! lol
Har har primitive ape people slugging clubs, and less sophisticated robots than myself mer mer mer, thine shalt halt in my robotic footprints. Hur, cattle. Cattle huuuur.
First, the Rosalina amiibos, then the Splatoon stock and now this ?
Yeah, like we weren’t already struggling enough to find any single one.
And I’m sat here watching 8 unicorn rare amiibo fight to the death. Now I feel really terrible…
this shit is just sad. why mess with the amiibo’s you can get any amiibo you want online like a week after they are released
Is it me, or this reaaaaallllllyyyyyy strange…?
What people are so angry at the Digital Event they have to commit treason?
The normal thing to do would be to boycott them but some people are just weirdos.
wow someone is really in a rage mode.
That’s fucked up. More fucked up than that asshole intentionally buying Rosalina Amiibos to ruin the hype and people’s chance of getting one.
And what about the stolen Splatoon stock ?
Don’t care. XP
in fact everyone must take the path of our high priest chris chan.
Vandalism and pepper spray are the only ways to illumination and next gen gaming.

Why the cute Yoshi amiibo and not some ugly fuck like Marth and Shulk
Fuck you!! I want a Shulk!! D:<
Whoa, now! Leave Shulk out of this as he looks fine. Marth, on the other hand, have at him since he looks nothing like Marth in the face.
Shulk is a plastic ugly fuck with a face designed by the devil. And who are you to tell me who looks like hellspawn or not? Look at your name.
Of course it’s France. where else?
I have no clue why you said that, and I guess you don’t either.
I think you do. Hard truths cut both ways.
You think he knows what youre not actually saying?
Heyz, ask him if he can find that 100$ I put away two years ago.
Wolf 4 Sm4sh! #FreeWolf
You have nothing to do here in this article
It was tilmen. lol.
Is there somthing like a amiibo maffia going on? First rosalinda then splatoon an now this.
It’s sad and strange
Was this from that Mariotheplumber guy again? :v
No it wasn’t because had it been from him he would of attacked a female character amiibo because “OMG NINTENDO TRYING TO PUSH HENTAI ON KIDS, I HATE THESE FEMALE HENTAI CHARACTERS BLARGH ARGH.” Or something along those lines.
SONY IS JEALOUS OF NINTENDOS SUCCESS
What about the UK, omg if this happens again like with the Squid amiibo I will NOT be happy!
Mistake on the article, It’s NOT Nintendo France who destroyed the amiibos
The way it’s worded makes it seem as if Nintendo of France were the ones who destroyed the amiibos… Can’t keep up with demand, huh? Sounds like false demand to me ;)
I’ve been checking infoamiibo’s website this is not the truth
It’s Mister Iwata-san.
Trying to destroy Nintendo from the inside out.
If you do the effort to scroll up to see ine of my answer, you would take back that comment
Ignore him, he’s just being a troll.
But what if Iwata is trying to destroy Nintendo from within!? *shudder* It would explain why he is barely doing anything to remedy the Wii U & amiibo situations.
Thats fine as long as MR. GAME & WATCH stays safe. Gotta have that bacon!
Ah don’t worry… those will be stolen in the next shipment by ISIS
NOoooooooø! DAMN YOU CHRISTOPHER.
ISIS…. I know you’re trying your hardest but really?
Are you Trolling yourself right now?!
How exciting!
How is one trolling thy self?
Thou must be going into the realms of insanity
Cough fucking commander.
If this ends up being true, then have bored were this people to do this. The Yarn Yoshi amiibo look to be the best amiibo to own and these things that some call humans, decide to ruin it for everybody else. Get a fucking life…
WHO has the GALL to destroy a little Yoshi!?!?!?!
I half think it’s fake because it’s after the Splatoon Amiibo truck got stolen.
*”Stolen” I’m not sure I believe that one, either.
Very odd that this keeps happening in Europe.
I’m sure that lady who knits all the Yarn Yoshi amiibos is terribly sad too. I hope I can get these in the U.S. still!!
Feels more like someone is salty to game comes out 4 months earlier here in Europe
POOR OLD LADY GOT TO DO THEM ALL AGAIN
as for the sony fan that did this im sure if you are a good boy she will knit you a sackboy
I’m sure she did not knit all of them by her lonesome.
But either way, that “old lady” is totally fuckable.
Ok what does “rupture from supplier” mean? It just sounds like the supplier can’t provide enough stocks to some stores…
Anyway, I hope it’s just a rumor.
Some people really hate Amiibo because Nintendo are doing it. Nobody destroys Skylanders or Infinity figures a far as I know. Nothing have been reported. People have such double standards. That or they destroy some on purpose to jack up the prices and earn more cash.
And fanboys keep insisting that there’s no hate or bias against Nintendo.
Just a rumour atm so try to take it like a pinch of salt.
It’s not a rumour if retailers are reporting it.
None of this has been confirmed hence it’s a rumour still.
You people are foolish and dont know the truth. The amiibos HAD to be destroyed. I am friends of one of the survivors of the massacre. The amiibos were actually experimental weapons the Japanese government had developed with an advanced AI that allowed the Yoshi amiibos to integrate into other forms of machinery and electronic devices. The amiibos became self-aware while they were being stored in a French warehouse and my friend who was a night watch security guard had three of his friends killed by those things when they began to assimilate industrial equipment and started to slaughter them one by one. My friend was forced to detonate a gas line and destroy the entire warehouse when he found out they were trying to merge with a computer system in an attempt to use the internet to trigger nuclear ballistic missiles in a French military compound. He was the only survivor and is still in the hospital recovering from his wounds. All of you people should be thanking God that he did what he had to to stop them and praying for all of those that didn’t make it out of there.
….
Wat
Well thank goodness thats over with then. I was very worried about this possible problem.
+1 sir.
If that was true, France would have surrendered already, and the country would be ruled by a fucking amiibo.
LOL
“Rupture de stock” means that they will receive less items than those reserved!
You’re lost in translation… and many websites were fooled :’D
And they said that NINTENDO FRANCE destroyed the amiibos, which DOESN’T correspond to the correct translation of what Info amiibo says lmaooooooo
Wouldn’t be surprised if this was scalpers trying to throttle amiibo stock to try and heighten prices. Makes a bit more sense than trying to steal and sell them on as there are risks when trying to push stolen merchandise. A well done arson can destroy evidence.
WTF more money for scalpers?
I like AMIIBO but this people are ruining everything for everyone.
Poor yoshi. I hope the damage was accidental or due to a manufacturing defect and bot just to troll.
*Not*
Looks like this is pretty much ‘Operation: Grand Theft Splatoon Amiibo 2.0’
…But seriously, who the fuck would want to burn a plush Yoshi? *coughBoswercough*
Did someone destroy them, or steal them then destroy the boxes to make mad profit selling them online??
According to infoamiibo, the Stock was destroyed
Like litterally
Literally… Who would do this fucked up stupid bullshit?
Either :
-A pyromaniac/vandalist
-Some Sony fanboys/Xboners jealous of amiibo success
-People salty about the E3 2015
-Americans salty of the game coming out 4 months earlier in Europe
-Yoshi because he’s sick of the amiibo short stock so he did this to put a stop to it in France when it comes to his Yarn Yoshi counterpart.
Man what the fucking fuck. Why are people this stupid? When will stupidity end?
Never, this world is full of never-ending stupidity
Humans are the dumbest creatures alive. Some are actually pretty intelligent, while many just try to do their best on embrassing the entire race as time goes by.
Hello anyone?!?
“Rupture de stock” means “stock shortage”!
They’ll see at one point
Good thing I’M not canceled… yet.
If a petition cannot bring Mother 3 Worldwide, then I don’t see how one could cancel you
Sounds to me like scalpers. After a lot of the shortages proved to be due to the US port strike and production speed, and with Nintendo promising new waves of these supposedly impossible to find limited editions, they’re taking matters into their own hands and ensuring there will be supply constraints.
Did they have security cameras?
j’ai vraiment honte là…

WHAT ?! NOOOooo ! I WANT THOSE CUTIES ;;
Why are people doing these nowadays ?! It’s becoming more like a thing to do…
I really hope they have more to come there, I really want one of those…. :(
Robotnik: “Happiness is so much more enjoyable, when it’s based on the misery of millions.”
These are like the only amiibos I have no interest in, and don’t plan to buy.
I really feel bad about the lady who talked at E3 about how she made the Yoshi amiibos, for real…she actually seemed like one of the only people in the entire Digital Event who wasn’t doing it for the money or for the easy-profit, slap-a-huge-title-on-it party games with her yarn Yoshi concept and people do this?
I’m angry at Nintendo as well, I’m boiling with hatred, but wouldn’t it make at least a little more sense to destroy the Animal Crossing amiibos or the place where they’re making Metroid Prime: Federation Force?
Wow. I knew a lot of us were pissed about the Nintendo Digital Event at E3 this year but god damn! Arson!? I’m glad nobody was hurt!
Seriously, though, this is probably what happened to the Splatoon amiibo after they were stolen.
It has been confirmed!
However, http://www.amiiboinfo will have all colored yoshi’s and even the bundle for sell.
They can even been shipped to Europe!
