Reminder: New Amiibos Hit Store Shelves This Friday

by Andrew Reiner on May 27, 2015 at 10:00 AM

Nintendo's next wave of Amiibos are slated to hit most retail chains on May 29, and are once again expected to be in short supplies if internet rumblings on Reddit, Twitter, and NeoGAF are accurate. The figures releasing on Friday are divided into a number of different series, such as the new Super Smash Bros. wave consisting of Jigglypuff, Charizard, Greninja, Robin, Ness, Wario, and Lucina. This line is likely to be the one most collectors are going after.

Nintendo is also releasing Amiibo figures for Splatoon. A three-pack consisting of Inkling Girl, Inkling Boy, and Inkling Squid is the the pack to get, but should you not want all three, Inking Girl and Inkling Boy will be sold separttely. Inkling Squid is only available in the three pack.

The final Amiibo release on Friday is a Silver Mario variant that is expected to be rare. The only advice we can give: Get to your stores in advance of them opening, and good luck hunting!
