What's truly ridiculous is that there's still alot of people who think that Nintendo doesn't use scarcity marketing even though amiibo are a thing and they mysteriously have "shortages" all the time.

They do that because they don't want to get stuck with a bunch of figurines no one wants.  That happened to one of the other "Toys-to-Life" products that is now discontinued, but I can't remember which one.  They only want to make what they know they can sell.

That might make sense now but what all of those years?
