Nintendo makes a amiibo collection of all Pokkén fighters. Send them all to selected Targets in Wyoming.
Now people care about amiibo.

They are already established, so people will probably just buy them for collecting/children's gift.

Bet with Teeqoz for 2 weeks of avatar and sig control that Super Mario Odyssey would ship more than 7m on its first 2 months. The game shipped 9.07m, so I won

I used not to care, but the other day I got a blue Yoshi that was on sale and I couldn't resist, he's so cute. Oh and the Mario 30th anniversary one.

I can't find Kirby and Samus anymore, so I'm still irked.

"Just for comparison Uncharted 4 was 20x bigger than Splatoon 2. This shows the huge difference between Sony's first-party games and Nintendo's first-party games."

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.
