Me too man. :(

It's the only one I'm really bothered about. It's going to really annoy me when some strawberry floaters buy 3 of him and I inevitably fail to get one.

Woolly World and Yarn Yoshi amiibo bundles are now up on Nintendo's store.

You can't buy the amiibo's separately from them.

The wooly Yoshi were the biggest test of my refusal to buyor pre-order any Amiibo not on a shop shelf or available after launch day at RRP on a web site. I'm please to say i passed. Nintendo, you have no power here any longer.

This is probably in vain, but if anyone should come across a Ness amiibo in the wild and would be prepared to buy it for me, I'd really appreciate it. I can pay you back immediately.

If youre willing to pay postage from Ireland Ill check my local toy shop this evening, last time I went in there I got all the super Mario amiibos and they had a wall full of them. I cant guarantee anything but you never know.

See if they have a King Dedede as well please. :shifty:

My local Smyths just seems to have a bunch of the launch set. Was Diddy Kong a launch one?

In the world of the amiibo hunter, Rax is our only hope!

James Honeywell, head of consumer marketing at Nintendo UK and talking to MCV, wrote:“Right from the outset we hoped that Amiibo would be strong, but even our expectations have been smashed. With a unique line-up of iconic characters that are loved by so many people, it really has been unprecedented.

We hope to do a better job of satisfying these needs in the future with more stock, and, while there are always going to be some times when we can’t on certain characters, I suspect that is also part of the appeal.

What we hadn’t anticipated was the number of collectors wanting to get them all – this has seen demand exceed supply in some areas. Although, if you search around, you can still find some of the more hard-to-find Amiibo sitting on shelves.”


Hmmn. I suspect that we won't see much change in how Nintendo UK manages amiibo stocks. Nintendo is happy to continue this "you can't get 'em all" approach. Fair enough, but I've now decided to only get a few (if I can) and it seems that many other GRcadians have, too.

Rax remains GRcade's only hope.

I want them all, but it really is a pain in the arse.

Little Mac, Kind Dedede and Meta Knight have all evaded me. (Amazon :x )

I'm half thinking I should just stick 'em all on ebay and just cash in.

Youll need a new hope jawa, nothing good in stock Im afraid. I have failed you all. The place seems to have been cleared out, only 2 rows of Yoshi, Mario and Link left with a couple of Peachs :(
