Aren't they being discontinued cause of people that don't want to buy them? Cause from what I can tell, those are the least popular so keeping them on selves is costing Nintendo money if those aren't selling very well

That's kinda my thought too. If they were selling well, they would likely be getting a second shipment. I don't understand exactly how the Amiibo assembly lines are set up, but I imagine they're done in pretty sizable batches to make sure the manufacturing is as cost-effective as possible. If the demand is too small, it might just not be worth it to have another batch created. 

I am disapointed that a character from a universe I love won't be getting another shipment...but since I have no intention of buying it anyway, I guess you can say I'm part of the problem. :P Hopefully there is enough demand to warrant re-continuing some of these figures.

Yea, well, I am guessing these toys will be back in a later date (apart from wii fit trainer) when the respective games get released. I see no way in hell that the villager wont be coming back when/if animal crossing for wiiU gets announced or marth for SMT x FE. But as of right now, these aren't very popular and shelve space on retail is expensive so if they aren't selling as well as expected, then out with the "old" and in with the "new" loll
