I've noticed this too ... Amiibos were overstocked big time this holiday, the Animal Crossing ones are not selling very well at all and even the Mario 30th anniversary and Splatoon ones and restocks of older models are all over the place.

I think what's happened is the Nintendo die-hards, who are most 20-30+ year old men have bought a ton of Amiibo over the last year that some fatigue is setting in as most people have most of the Nintendo characters they wanted. Kids who are supposed to be buying Amiibos don't have a Wii U and buy Lego, Disney, or Skylanders instead.

 

anything that sells well always appears over stocked. think about any popular normal thing you buy at a store. they constantly are restocking the item and making sure its available BECAUSE of the demand

like go into a store and look in the video game section- they'll always have all of the PS4 games available despite it selling well. same thing can be said for popular foods and other things

generally things only run out during extremely busy holiday time

 

I have no doubt Amiibos sold well during the holidays but to expect the shelves to be empty towards the end of January in stores is just strange. if anything stores have been restocked at this point
