Great news and thanks for investigating!
Thats the best possible outcome of 2014 - retailers making more money from Wii U and Nintendo and thus giving more shelf space and presence.
Amiibos will do their job too: I think many will collect them and its essentially buying a second Wii U money wise...
And they would even sell better - at least within the EU / germany - if retailers would present them accordingly. I've seen electronics markets where Amiibos where "dumped" into a bin whereas Skylanders and Infinity had their custom made shelfes. Makes me cry...
