Reddit amiibo moderator FlapSnapple is reporting that the various amiibo that are due to go on sale on September 11th at GameStop won’t be available for pre-order this time around. If this proves to be true (and FlapSnapple has a decent track record) then it is no doubt going to be a pain for amiibo collectors. The four amiibo that are apparently set to go on sale on September 11th are Ganondorf, Olimar, Zero Suit Samus and 8-Bit Classic Mario.
- There will be no preorders
- A limited amount will be available on GameStop.com
- Allocation sent to each store based on previous amiibo sales (This is the same thing they said about the Retro 3-Pack)
- amiibo would be sold on a first come / first serve basis (as usual)
- No word yet on if they will do tickets like they did for the Retro 3-Pack
Thanks Paidenthusiast
Typical bitches
Water does sassy icons in your name? :o
It’s something that separates me from those basic bitches.
you misspelled “makes me more basic than those basic bitches”
Yawn. You fucking mad hoe!
If it’s store allocated like the retro 3-pack, i don’t see a problem then. I mean…there were 63 retro packs at my store, 90 in others. So I expect at least 25-35 of each if the numbers Target had holds truth.
Nintendo seemingly has it under control so now we have to see just how much they actually do.
OK so now I can add GameStop to my 8bit brick and mortar store search. I will be having a VERY unproductive Friday workday.
Well good luck then. I have my pre ordered since weeks back here in Europe. I feel safe, like always.
My game stop has low activity that getting these should be a breeze.
GameStop Nordic and Ireland are taking preorders for these, they’ve even been “in their systems” since E3 announcement, went up for reservable finally a few days ago.
Psh. And they think they’re doing good business.
I actually see this as a good thing. This cuts off scalpers.
Nothing new really. They haven’t been taking preorders on the last 2 or 3 waves of amiibo (aside from the recent 3-pack. Which I proudly preordered two of).
Gamestop sucks
