I doubt they destroyed the NA stock. Especially since it's not launching here until October.

 

[victreeb3l]

Wait, they were actually put on for pre-order?

NO

 

[TsunamiOfSwagger]

I went with amazon.fr, not had an email yet.

 

[Nesther]

Where do you live and which shops are you going to?

Switzerland, last time I wanted an Amiibo I walked into Media Markt a week or so after Splatoon launch and just grabbed the Inklings. There were plenty.

Did the same with all my favorites, Nes, Villager etc.

[Sable~Knight]

Dammit, feels.

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

Literally the first image in my mind too...

 

[Kouriozan]

Wait, they were actually put on for pre-order?

NO

Yeah I don't believe it, I've been lurking and refreshing Amazon.fr so much and they never were on sale.

 

[Crimsonclaw111]

Only a matter of time before Amiibo cause literal riots.

 

[HardRojo]

Goddammit. Well done.

 

[justgames7604]

hahahaha. Really good.

 

[lt519]

haha this thread is fantastic, cat mario got me too (and fight club reference)

 

[Regulus Tera]

Oh, they got his actual scientific name. Nice.

 

[Mohonky]

What? Oh wait, I dont think Aus was getting the Amiibo with the yoshi yarn amiibo, or were we, I cant remember. I would have preordered it if we were. Better check what my preorder was.

 

[J3ffro]

Jeff Gerstmann's Alibi the thread.

 

[aspiegamer]

I know a few people who were importing the things and were perfectly happy to leave the adorable things on the shelf. I expect much rage, and I don't blame them.

I doubt they destroyed the NA stock. Especially since it's not launching here until October.

Was the pre-order window the same? I'm a fool to have entirely missed this.

 

[victreeb3l]

Yeah I don't believe it, I've been lurking and refreshing Amazon.fr so much and they never were on sale.

If they were up stealthily, I would be upset

 

[Fularu]

a "rupture of stock," got damn

It'S obvious the one who wrote that is a french speaking person. In french "Out of stock" is "rupture de stock".

[OMG Aero]

[RandomExpletive]

everything burns...

 

[Gtagentleman]

 

[JCX]

This is even funnier now

No lies detected.

 

[Diddy Kong]

Where was Bush when these amiibos were destroyed?

 

[Labrynian Rebel]

everything burns...

Perfect.

 

[VariantX]

Do skylanders and infinity toys have this problem? Or is it just Amiibo that get stolen and destroyed lately?

 

[Toki767]

Do skylanders and infinity toys have this problem? Or is it just Amiibo that get stolen and destroyed lately?

Skylanders and Disney Infinity figures are widely available.

 

[PWNGEoftheGODS]

I feel really bad for the woman who made the yarn yoshi this was based on.

 

[Bytes]

Do skylanders and infinity toys have this problem? Or is it just Amiibo that get stolen and destroyed lately?

I imagine they don't have this problem much because they can actually keep their toys in stock properly.

 

[FZZ]

Fuck the guy who did that

Fuck Jeff Gerstmann

Alright I'll admit to it

Fuck Yoshi

AND FUCK YOU

 

[Koppai]

Well as long as I get my Amazon Germany orders :3

 

[Gtagentleman]

I imagine they don't have this problem much because they can actually keep their toys in stock properly.

And thats why they dont get free (bad, but still) publicity.

 

[Keyser Soze]

Do skylanders and infinity toys have this problem? Or is it just Amiibo that get stolen and destroyed lately?

I remember the first run of Skylanders having stock issues. Acti sorted that out with future waves quickly though.

 

[User 479360]

Are these amiibos supposed to be extremely limited or something?

 

[thomaser]

We got our shipment of Yarn Yoshi Amiibos today, along with the game. Only four of each colour, but at least they arrived safely!

 

[lt519]

lmao, you make this or this been around?

 

[Pizza]

everything burns...

Hahaha holy shit

Years from now people will be talking about this shit. Trucks of toys getting stolen and people breaking into wearhouses to start yoshi bonfires.

I love amiibo

 

[Qurupeke]

Haha oh my god. I guess an accident is more possible. I can't see someone crazy enough to actually destroy them.

 

[massoluk]

Are these amiibos supposed to be extremely limited or something?

Oh, it will be. It will. Look at it. LOOK AT IT. Who can resist the cute?! Who?!

 

[wenis]

It's only the French who've had their Yarn Yoshi's destroyed it seems. We're ok. #TeamAmerica

 

[MicH]

WHAT

Please let my preorder be safe I avoided the great Splatoon Amiibo theft, I hope I can avoid this one too

 

[NotLiquid]

This is just sad.

Hope that my order is safe.

 

[Rodin]

What? Is this real? I can't believe it, i mean what's the point in doing that.

... and i hope my limited edition is ok.

This is even funnier now

rotfl that's funny indeed

 

[Kiant]

First, the Splatoon van was stolen in the UK and now the Yoshi stock has been destroyed - sweet jesus...when will it end!

 

[Zareka]

Everything involving amiibos has been hilarious. The stuff they've driven people to do is insane.

 

[Vena]

Are these amiibos supposed to be extremely limited or something?

These are hand-made. So, yes, they will be harder to mass produce. Only so many hands in the world.

 

[Holy Order Sol]

Lol Federation Force.

Nintendo's erasure of one of their most prominent leading woman protagonists at an E3 with more women protags than ever is endemic of Nintendo's lack of understanding of the modern video game market.
