Amiibo Release Info (US) (Updated January 11th)

Amiibo News

Important Note:  Beginning in the final quarter of 2015, Nintendo re-released several Amiibo, among them Villager, Captain Falcon, Shulk, Lucario, Greninja, and others.  Additionally, many of the previous exclusivity deals seem to have expired and some new ones appear to be struck (the Villager re-release seems to be a TRU exclusive).  Aside from the early Marth reprint included below, this guide represents only original release information. If you can provide detailed re-release information, please contact Doc Croc.

  • Added Shovel Knight amiibo wave to “Upcoming” Schedule.
  • Added Delicious amiibo box to “December 10th 2017” Schedule.

The Amiibo craze has swept North American markets by storm, leading to record-breaking pre-order sales, extreme scarcity, a thriving market for scalpers, and a number of unhappy consumers, especially after Nintendo’s remarks that not all Amiibo would be produced in perpetuity. Nerd Bacon is doing its damnedest to keep up with the latest developments in the Amiibo world and keep collectors informed.
