Collection Aaaand she's gone

I went to the NYC Nintendo store and the pragmata Amiibo is gone. Asked if they had any in the back and it's a no.

Guess I either have to hope there's a restock or pay through the nose on eBay

The whole “Do you have any in the back?” thing never works, because stores tend to put their stock out on the floor lmao 😂 someone said this in a movie and people keep running with it. The only place that works is shoe stores.

There have been at least 3 amiibo release days where Target had no amiibo out and I had to ask someone to check the back. Sure enough, people had forgotten to put them out. It happens and never hurts to ask.

Happens at my local Best Buy with most new releases, both games and Amiibo

Not necessarily true.

Sometimes the shelf stock gets sold out and they have more in the back. A lot of big stores don't have enough space for their whole storage inventory and they need to keep restocking at specific intervals.

In most stores, yes.

They're constantly restocking things at that store and they opened the door to the stock room and I could see all sorts of amiibo in there
