Amiibo news has been somewhat light lately, but collectors should be aware of the rare figure restock that’s happening at certain retailers. Pre-orders are up for Gold Mario, Pit, Palutena and more.
Per the Amiibo Reddit community, Toys R Us has begun taking pre-orders for the following rare and semi-rare Amiibo: Ness, Pit, Gold Mario, Palutena and Samus. Each one costs $13.99, most of the pages are still active at the time of writing and orders more than $19 ship for free. Click the respective links to snag the figurine you want!
One that might be especially worth considering is Palutena. As indicated on its product page, that particular Amiibo is completely exclusive to Toys R Us. Generally that makes it a little harder to find even though Amiibo fever has largely subsided. The chance to get one online is also a noteworthy detail as well. Any time it’s possible to get an Amiibo without having to travel to a store, it’s hard to complain.
There’s no truly shocking news here, as Nintendo essentially continues to truck along with Amiibo plans that have mostly been in place since the toys first launched at the end of 2014. Eventually all rare figures go up for sale again and many sport some sort of exclusivity period to certain stores. That being said, as Ness, Gold Mario and even Palutena show us, those arrangements are often temporary. That trio was once exclusive to GameStop, Walmart and Amazon individually. On Oct. 14, Lucina will be restocked exclusively at Best Buy.
For those that are curious, all rarity restocks are expected to ship around Oct. 27. For those that prefer to shop locally, the figures should be made available in store around that time as well. Street dates are often broken, though, so it helps to keep an eye on sites like ours for news updates.
