Briefly: Amiibo hunters and completionists (myself included) were distraught two weeks ago when Target Canada announced that they were shutting down every single store and pulling out of the country barely two weeks ago.
Target, of course, was set to be the exclusive retailer for the Rosalina and Luma Amiibo in North America. Since the announcement, both Nintendo of Canada and Target Canada have been absolutely silent about the exclusivity agreement, until just a few hours ago.
The original report came from Marios-Hat, which stated that “The Rosalina amiibo will be available soon in limited quantities at the following retailers in Canada: Best Buy, Future Shop, Wal-Mart, EB Games, Toys ‘R’ Us and Amazon.ca. Please see your local retailer for more information on timing and availability.”
Now, this particular report wasn’t sourced, but Future Shop soon confirmed via twitter that, yes, the figure was on its way:
Based on the very short notice of the announcement, I’m doubting that we’ll see the character in time for her February 1st release, but it’s simply nice to hear that she’s coming. I’m wondering what stock will be like however, seeing that the stock that was meant for 131 Target stores is now likely being split between Best Buy, Future Shop, Wal-Mart, EB Games, Toys ‘R’ Us, and Amazon. Maybe we’ll get lucky and the big N will just send more.
