[ Nintendo UK Comments on Amiibo Sales & Stock ] "We hoped Amiibo would be strong, but our expectations have been smashed. We hope to do a better job in future with more stock & while there are times we can’t on certain characters, I suspect that's also part of the appeal." "We hadn’t anticipated the number of collectors wanting to get them all – this has seen demand exceed supply in some areas"

    I told you this wasn't their fault! They weren't expecting this! Although it was ALMOST predictable. Almost.

    You Know, their are kids out there that just want a Ness amiibo, or a Pac-Man amiibo, but can't because of selfish desire and greed through those crazy collecters buying out Pre-orders of Amiibo from not as popular franchises, such Game & Wario, Earthbound (Mother), and even Pac-Man. Thats what i think the amiibo shortage all comes down to. Fans cannot get the figurines they want.

    While NOE understands the problem with amiibo shortage, we Americans still have to deal with it. Come on, NOA! You must have a solution to this situation by now!

    @MrBinman German ones online are cheapest. Nintendo should do something where you pay an online premium for access to any character. ie $20 to buy it through them.

    I love Nintendo because they don't understand basic economics. Thanks to them I was able to make 500+ dollars just from glorified happy meal toys. I already preordered 5 triple set Splatoon Amiibos thinking on selling them for 60 each. What do you guys think?

    Meanwhile Disney Infinity and Skylanders bring in more Figurines into markets. I just love how people are still complaining about Amiibos for six months now. All of it is Nintendo's fault and their customers are the one's suffering for it.

    @Koi To be fair, those cow to sea rates they charge are also pretty abysmal.

    i think that Nintendo wantec to play it safe, and if the Amiibos did badly, they wouldn't come out with anymore. However, they're all sold out, so Nintendo's gonna make more at a later date. Be patient everyone.

    @Sony Pony: And you think taking advantage of this situation makes you any better? Every time you scalp amiibo, it makes it harder for people who want to find them at their original price. You're cutting off accessibility to people like me who aren't willing to pay 50+ dollars for a plastic toy. I guess I can't blame you for wanting money, but I do feel a tad bit bitter about this situation

    I got the Splatoon three pack and I'm using it. There's no indication it's going to be rare, except people assume it will be.

    I can't blame you for doing that Sony Pony. I mean, scalping is one of the smartest and profitable ways to make money off of an already purchased product especially near the holidays. I also agree with the idea that Nintendo was probably afraid of a 2012 repeat, but when they first noticed that it wasn't going to be a failure, they should have put them up for higher prices and mass production.
