Also good and bad news on retailer-exclusive toys
Toys”R”Us started selling some of the “wave 3” amiibo — Bowser, Sheik, and Toon Link — ahead of schedule at the end of last week.
Meanwhile, Toys”R”Us customers have been getting notice that pre-orders on other wave 3 amiibo — Ike, Sonic, King Dedede — have been pushed back (from the likely placeholder, February 1) to February 13, in-line with current GameStop release estimates.
The retailer is also holding a mild sale on amiibo, 4 for $44. You won’t find any rare stock online, but the sale should be good in-store too, whether you try and pick up some early wave 3 toys or track down some rarer stock. Maybe wait until January 30 when Lucario releases as you can’t get it elsewhere, but Sheik may be MIA by then.
Worth noting that Target-exclusive Rosalina is still looking like it’ll go on sale February 1 and Target employees on reddit are reporting decent stock, unlike Meta Knight, which is looking scarce.
