If you’re interested in amiibo and are considering picking up a figure or two, you may want to put in a pre-order – or make a purchase at launch. Nintendo is counting on the first amiibo shipments to sell out pretty fast.

“We’re expecting this first wave to disappear really quickly,” Nintendo’s Gil Ruta told The Detroit News. “We’re encouraging people to pre-order theirs or be the first in line.”

They will

Wouldn't doubt it! I pre ordered falcon however cause the first round seems kinda eh

So, since Amiibo isn't a game or a console, it's sales won't be tracked by VGC right? I'm fairly certain they won't but I just wanted to make sure.

They won't, but you can be sure they'll sell well.

Oh yes they will!

Totally Agreed.

If they are not very expensive, I might buy one or two. Also, do you know future 3DS games that use amiibos?

Impossible that they won't. Some study (around e3) actually proved kids want one more than skylanders or infity.

I just hope they keep 'em shipping!

I plan on buying the Fox and Captain Falcon amiibos for Smash Bros and Mario Kart. As for the others, I need to see what else they can do for other games.
