| Boutros said: Nintendo still hasn't restocked many amiibos for absolutely no reason (except to create rarity of course but that suggestion is apparently not accepted by everyone). PSVR will eventually get more stock until most interested will have had the opportunity to get one (it's only been 3 months since it released and I just looked it up and Sony announced more incoming stock soon). Nintendo knows there's demand for those amiibos that have never seen big restocks but they're still sold out and some of them have never been readily available. For example Roy came out 1 year ago and I never saw him in stock (or I would have bought it) here in Canada. The only way must have been to pre-order him but even those were sold out quickly. So a whole year goes by without new stock for a product that was never supposed to be limited. And that goes for many other amiibos. It's certainly not a production restriction issue at this point or a fear they wouldn't sell. |
Creating a rarity is a whole different topic that limiting supply in order to try to create demand. Rarity means higher price on second hand market for a limited release, but the first hand seller is only losing sales. Are you sure the issue isn't with retailers? Not sure if Roy Amiibo would sell, other than the collectors would be buying them.
