The Sorry State of Amiibos

[Hiro]

I might actually want a reprint Marth and Villager, they look MUCH better now:

yet another lie concocted by nintendo to cover-up their refusal to make amiibos more available

I managed to at least preorder the Splatoon 3-set a long time ago, which just shipped tonight. I also wanted Lucina and Ness, but of course it was essentially impossible to get them (even moreso than the previous amiibo releases, considering most online retailers don't seem to be getting them anymore)

I got PAC-MAN and Chrizard today. 

My friends are scouring for Ness and Wario.

Lucina was legitimately in-stock at Amazon today for somewhere around 10 seconds
it went out so fast that, with the way Amazon's server load management works, most users couldn't ever see it in stock even if they were refreshing every 3 seconds
it's kinda impressive for something to sell out this fast

Robin was a little more fortunate, lasting (supposedly) a whole 40 seconds.

In related news, I didn't bother getting any of the Smash Amiibo that released today. I'm pretty interested in Lucina and somewhat in Robin and Ness, but not enough to deal with that madness.

I got Wario.
