With the WFT restock and Greninja appearing to be quite common unlikely unless you're doing a 2 for 1 type deal especially since the yarn yoshis are more expensive at msrp to begin with

Broke down and imported Ganondorf from Amazon.com. $24 and I had an $11 Gift card, so not too terrible. He is one of the ones from wave 5 I really wanted. ZSS is another but she is just too expensive. May just have to wait for the US release and pray futilely that she isn't hard to get.

Screw you NoA. Maybe if all the NA stock wasn't allocated to NWS we wouldn't have to import from now on. How about giving US some of those Villagers, Little Macs, and Shulks?

Doesn't say he's exclusive to Best Buy at least. Really hope that he isn't because of all the shipping horror stories I've heard about them.
Meta Knight didn't say it either. Best Buy doesn't list that stuff.

Ugh!!! He's blaming the retailers? Hey Reggie, how come Nintendo sells amiibos on their website in other regions but not in North America? That would certainly go a long way to solving the supply issues.

But don't worry guys! The Nintendo World Store is exempt from exclusives, remember? (Why is it exempt Reggie, why?)

I don't know if I'm just generally annoyed with Nintendo after the E3 event, but like the way Reggie answers questions it's like asking him "How do you like your steak?" and goes into this long anecdote about the best steak he ever ate and never answers the question.

Reggie : how do you know what happens in other territories/Nintendo world store?
Honestly I just assume every company still thinks like that , it's 2015, we are connected all over the world
So, I realize it's pretty much frowned upon to be anything, but excessively negative about Nintendo and Reggie in general with the subject of amiibos, but uh...he's kind of right? At least in that context. Whenever the pre-orders go up on websites is completely the retailer's decision. Are people not aware of this fact? I thought it was known that retailers control that type of thing.
I understand the topic lends itself to other issues, like the stock shortages and stuff, but I really don't see anything wrong with what he's actually saying there? And I also just assumed that if a figure was retailer exclusive, potential restocks would stay exclusive. I don't get the issue with anything he really says there.

I got my Palutena and Ganondorf amiibo from Amazon UK today! ^^ So happy! I wasn't expecting these until July!
Ganondorf looks great but Palutena got dem sausage fingers going on. And her staff and right hand are one object. Lol. Still happy I have it!
And my Zero Suit Samus and Dark Pit amiibo are on their way as well! This was a good haul!

Retailer exclusives wouldn't suck if they actually restocked them ever.
Not standing outside a store for hours before they open ever. Will snag from Japan or Europe.

Yeah looks like NoA was right all along. We DID get well stocked with rare ones! Finally, everyone in the continent can be happy with their Villagers, Cap Falcons etc that they couldn't get before!
Wow.....so Nintendo World got a massive re-stock on the rarer Amiibo .
I guess those reports were right; there WAS a new shipment of Amiibo, it was just that the first 'wave' of this re-stock is starting with Nintendo World then moving on-to the other retailers afterwards.
This is great news, as those Amiibo are the very, very rare ones, so its great more people can get there hands on them.
And with reports of GameStops getting a re-stock of the more common ones, this must mean that Nintendo is finally getting a handle of the stocking issue with the Amiibo. Just hope they can keep it up; if they become common in stores, then stock issues should be gone at some point in the future.

Those are some mighty assumptions you've just made.
.....Not going to happen, huh
. Oh well, just hoped that Nintendo would do something right with the thing that is making them a lot of money :l.
Just happy for the people able to get the ones they really want from Nintendo World

No, no, that's...no, you don't...guys, do we tell him that's all of NA's stock or do we let him believe in a tiny flicker of hope?

You mean the scalpers hoping to sell more rares?
If that's all of NA's stock, than that is really sad :l.
Oh well, its nice that more are coming to NA in some fashion at least
.I wonder if Nintendo gets a cut from the scalpers prices......

Unfortunately this isn't really new. Nintendo World Store has been getting some of the rare amiibo for months. That's not to say some rares didn't make it to stores like Marth and Metaknight but it was hardly a hardy restocking and almost non-existent online.

Looks like 34574465745 to me

was able to place an order at amazon for Pit amiibo this AM!!!!
Were yours shipped through i-parcel or through something else?
I got i-parcel and I have a feeling I'll be waiting a while. I wish they used UPS again like they did for Wave 4.

Went to 8 stores to find Yarn Yoshis. No luck.
Not because they're not supposed to be out until today. Because it's already sold out everywhere. Some stores already had them on sale as early as fucking monday.
The thing that really pissed me off though is in the mall closest to my house. I missed them by a few minutes. The "general store" (like Walmart) had received a healthy stock of Yoshis and put them on sale. One guy bought them all at once : the fucking Micromania (Gamestop) manager, to put them all in his store in the same mall, and sell them at a higher price (15 instead of 13 )
