Hopefully they're insured.

 

[SigSig]

Screw you guys, I won't sew those again.

 

[Zero²]

Imagine someone setting a mountain of Yarn Yoshi's on fire like Joker with the money in the Dark Knight. Some people just want to see Amiibo burn

Hahah this thread...
I wonder what happened, maybe it got stolen again, this time from Nintendo themselves lol

 

[Dunkley]

Clearly a Metroid fan.

"Fuck Yoshi I want Samus' Wooly World"

 

[Cosmonaut X]

Waiting for the conspiracy theories... JET FUEL CAN'T MELT YARN YOSHIS!

(Hilarious as this thread is, reading the posts it just seems as though some stock has been damaged and these places won't be able to supply what had been ordered. Also: "REPORTS COMING IN FROM TWITTER" :-D )

 

[CTLance]

Why did I neglect to learn French. I knew it would bite me in the ass one day.

 

[HardRojo]

Someone gif the Joker scene where he burns the money and replace it with amiibo.

 

[SigSig]

"Fuck Yoshi I want Samus' Wooly World"

Don't even joke about this. Imagine the butthurt.

Spoiler

I'd play it.

 

[nubbe]

what kind of monster would do something like this

 

[Quenk]

What? The translation is really bad (I'm French).
"Rupture de stock" means "sold out".

Even tough the litteral translation is "broken".

This needs more attention. It seems like the retailer is out of stock but they haven't given the reason why they didn't get their stock.

 

[Green Yoshi]

I tried to pre-order the green Amiibo, but it was never possible on Amazon.de.

 

[NSESN]

Amiibo will truly be the end of the world as we know it. Just wait for the Pokémon amiibo line to come out. Oh god...

knowing some pokémon fans, things can get really ugly

 

[Shadow Ranger]

This is even funnier now

She gon be working overtime to fullfil demand, now!

Seriously, why would someone destroy a cute plushy? What are they, running for most evil person competition or something? I had a set ordered for a young child, you vile...destroyer of happiness! I hope my orders aren't cancelled.

 

[ffdgh]

The amiibo craze really is getting out of hand. What the hell?

Why would anyone destroy them? They're adorable as heck lol.

 

[jimi_dini]

Fuck that Batmobile, who cares

But this??? Yoshi!!! Nooooo

and I cancelled my secondary order just yesterday.

 

[thelatestmodel]

I'll be very, very glad when this fad is over.

 

[super-famicom]

What? The translation is really bad (I'm French).
"Rupture de stock" means "sold out".

Even tough the litteral translation is "broken".

Edit: or maybe it's sold out because someone destroyed it.

Spoiler

I have mine anyway.

I'm going with this. I seriously doubt someone intentionally destroyed them.

 

[painey]

there's gunna be a lot of heartbroken k̶i̶d̶s̶ 20-something's

 

[Jackano]

Maybe a storage problem in a global warehouse?

Like some moth got ungry or idk. After the Splatoon thief in UK that's pretty weird if it happens again. Some plot theorists will love that.

I'm French, they don't talk about "someone" they just say that a part of the stock has been destroyed. How? By who? What happened? They don't say anything about it.

Quoting these for the new page because they seem important maybe

Basically, if you collect amiibo, this is your life:

 

[Percy]

At least it resembles Yoshi, you know?

 

[hurricanes]

Destroyed intentionally?

 

[Broken Joystick]

Understandable after this E3.

 

[Komo]

lol, wow

Kinda reminds me... Does anybody know what happened with that shipment of Splatoon SE amiibos that were stolen?

 

[Stallion Dan]

Maybe they got run over by Batmobiles, forever tangling them up in the wheels.



Reference.

 

[L~A]

Translation for the tweet is:

"Hello, I am really sorry. Nintendo just informed us that a part of their stock was destroyed."


Also, there's no "orders cancelled left and right in Europe". So far, only cancellations I've seen are from France, and certain retailers (Boulanger, Auchan). So it doesn't look widespread.

Most likely an accident, rather than someone doing it on purpose. Nowhere does it say the amiibo were destroyed intentionally.

 

[Palculator]

Man... like... what?

Spoiler

Real talk, wanted to get one of these for my mom since she loves knitting but I guess this is becoming ever more impossible to reasonably achieve.

 

[Peltz]

This is even funnier now

haha

 

[JoeM86]

Now I regret cancelling my Nintendo UK order and going with the cheaper ShopTo. Hope I'm not screwed out of mine.

 

[Keyser Soze]

I guess the Batmobiles ran over the Yoshis

Looks like a French scalper who found a way to increase the value of his Yoshi amiibo stock ^^

 

[Sylverstone14]

The amiibo market is truly weird.

The amiibo market is truly weird.

The market is on fire.

It was

Spoiler

for 10 minutes

 

[RetroMG]

Maybe they were upset that Yoshi's arms were green?

 

[super-famicom]

Ok this is good

 

[Vuze]

lmao

But holy shit, please don't be true, I need my green yarn Yoshi amiibo (Woolly World special edition order btw)

 

[hunnies28]

Someone at GB is going to be happy about this.

 

[morukutsu]

Something doesn't make sense. The tweet from Hypergames Auchan says that part of the stock have been destroyed. But the mail below just says the order can be honored (without saying any reason).

We should wait for an official report from Nintendo.

 

[NeoRausch]

 

[MrBadger]

To find the culprit, we must unravel this mystery

 

[justgames7604]

Well I got green and blue ones preordered hope aus stock is ok.

 

[zroid]

perfect.

 

[tanooki27]

a "rupture of stock," got damn

 

[weekev]

Havent heard anything and I have all 3 preordered with the pink 1 coming direct from Nintendo.

 

[Kai Dracon]

a "rupture of stock," got damn

Perhaps we've reached the point where the most desirable amiibo are simply bursting into flame on the way to stores.

That would explain a lot.
