Hopefully they don`t wait too long to do reprints. Consumers may be too impatient to wait and may take the dive and spent that huge amount for the amiibo they want. And scalpers are definitely messing up the equation for Nintendo and consumers... -_- It is a good idea for them to do this to build interest in amiibo, but still seems somewhat hurtful.

The reprints will likely be targeted. For example, Marth is getting another shipment later this month for use in Codename STEAM. I wouldn't be surprised to see something like a Shulk reprint alongside Xenoblade Chronicles X or a Marth/Ike reprint alongside Fire Emblem: if or FExSMT. Then we have the new versions alongside things like Mario Party which gave us Mario, Luigi, Peach, Yoshi and Bowser. We may also see wave reprints after the entire Smash series is out.

I certainly hope there are reprints for all these amiibo at some point, even in small shipments, and that they aren`t small numbers to cause another shortage again... u_u; That exclusive store business seems like BS too...
