Do you want those wave 4 amiibo, but value your sleep, time and dignity? Amazon might have you covered!
Despite Amazon’s international branches taking pre-orders for the latest round of figure hell, North America bypassed the whole system, instead deciding to release the latest set on release day in increments. By limiting each character to one per person and making the formal announcement the day prior, it’s obvious that Amazon wants to give its shoppers an equal chance to make their purchase, (in the middle of the day, no less!)
Promising to work with Nintendo to secure more stock, this hopefully won’t be the last time Amiibo hunters can turn to the online retailer for their wave 4 needs. Let’s just hope that future waves are approached in a similar manner, making late night lineups a thing of the past!
The release schedule is as follows, with special attention being paid to Lucina at 3:30 PT and Robin at 5:30 PT. Will their servers survive the mad rush?
