I don't know.  First off, would Nintendo have to pioritize these 3D printers, or would they buy from companies that sell 3D printers to avoid lawsuits.  As well, how do they get these 3D printers into Walmart's hands, all walmarts or just super walmarts all across the United states and canada, then of all Europe or Asia markets and so on.  Also, how much does a quality 3D printer cost nowadays, I'm sure they're not cheap.  Not to mention nintendo having to rearrange their whole production business and contracts with suppliers and transporting new equipment from walmart or whatever contracted retailer.  How much exactly would the start of this undertaking need and how long will they wait to finally start making a profit? 

Too much factors.  It's like hoping Nintendo create smartphones, just too many factors.


They could avoid all of these factors just by selling custom amiibo online. I don't see any reason to make everything more difficult. I have also mentioned this idea a few times and I think it would work really well. There are only so many combinations, and essentially everything is just accessories on a base M/F body type so it shouldn't be very difficult to produce them in high quantities.


You're probably right, although I liked the get up and go feel. The build a bear work shop feel where people could see it printing. Nintendo shops would be awesome, although I know that won't happen.
