I may be paranoid, but Nintendo's phrasing of restocking "into the new year" as opposed to something like "throughout 2017" makes me think they'll ship some more in Jan and Feb and call it a day. It sounds crazy, but this is the same Nintendo who mentioned they may not make more Marth/Wii Fit Trainer/Villager amiibos after they were sold out on day 1 (and took nearly a year to do the restocks anyway).
That's why I never really bought the manufactured scarcity theory, you have to eventually replenish the stock to cash in on that strategy and Nintendo rarely does. It took around 18 months for them to make more Robin and Lucina amiibos and that's despite having two game releases in that timeframe (Codename Steam and Fire Emblem Fates) that specifically used the amiibo. They've still never reprinted Smash versions of characters like Rosalina, Dedede, and Meta Knight, though they have different amiibos available now.
