Though the scarcity of Amiibo has been bad, it seems a weird time to be complaining about it, when they're the most stocked they've ever been (at least in Australia).

The FE characters have been restocked for codename steam. The latest few Amiibo including the inkling triple pack are still in stores. Target's even restocking Little Mac, Villager, WFT and Captain Falcon; some of the "Raraest" little buggers to find.

Still waiting on Amiibo cards which will fix this probloem completely for those that just want the Amiibo content. It really shouldn't be difficult to pump these ones out.

Not even the cute Yoshis?

Hand in your girl license right now, young lady!

I'd take a metal gear rex over a yoshi every damn time.

You could argue that months ago. Not now whenever production has no real signs of increasing and they're resorting to random windows of availability to launch the next waves of amiibos, while also stopping very highly demanded ones in current production.

When Amiibo was announced, I decided I would not be taking part in the whole affair.
Seems that decision saved me a lot of hassle.

Nintendo is being very stupid about this and they know it.

From the new wave 4 amiibos, the stores in my city got very few (between 1-3) of the 'rare' amiibos yet they'll also get like 20-30 Pac-Man amiibos in each store. Honestly, who the f**k that works at Nintendo decided that Pac-Man was the most demanding and that they needed to make more Pac-Man than any of the other amiibos?

Jim Sterling is mostly spot on here. I have to say I don't see why Nintendo would be making them purposefully rare - it's not them who make the money off resellers. If they would just produce the right amount to meet the demand then they would make the most possible money, whilst not irritating their fans. As usual Nintendo come off looking incompetent.

Jim Sterling is one of the worst gaming commentators ever and the fact that people take him seriously is pathetic.

If it helps, they occasionally line up in squares instead.
