I agree with this guy's take on what's happened. Given Nintendo was trying to get lean last year, they probably made pretty conservative estimates for Amiibo production. And now their manufacturing arrangements are plain insufficient. Which unfortunately means fixing this will take time.
Nintendo also put themselves in a tight spot by starting with the Smash series. That's a TON of characters and fan bases to cover, which means they have to divide their resources between trying to fix their supply issues and producing wave after wave of new Amiibo. Failing at either would cause an uproar.
