Summary
GameStop has brought back fourSuper Smash Bros. Ultimatecompatible amiibos, giving fans a chance to pre-order some figures that had gone out of print a while ago. Amiibos are a set of collectible toy figures produced by Nintendo. The line was first released in 2014 as a part ofthe fourthSuper Smash Bros.game, where players could tap their amiibos onto their 3DS or Wii U to make the associated character appear in-game, train them to earn rewards, and gain new abilities. The Nintendo Switch kept its compatibility with the figures, with a lot ofSuper Smash Bros.amiibo functionality carried over toSuper Smash Bros. Ultimate.
Many of the older figures based on the Wii U and 3DS game’s roster can be used withSuper Smash Bros. Ultimate.Ultimatewould later release its own line of figures based on some of the newcomers or returning fighters, like Pichu, Sephiroth, and Sora. Many of these older figures have since gone out of print, making it hard for fans to find their favorite amiibo or complete their collection. Since last year, Nintendo has been restocking certain amiibo, with reprints of four figures from theSuper Smash Bros.line available for pre-order at GameStop right now.
These fourrestockedSuper Smash Bros.amiiboare based on Duck Hunt, Pikachu, R.O.B., and Charizard. All four of these amiibo are expected to ship on April 26, meaning fans will need to wait a month before receiving them. Fans might find it prudent to pre-order them sooner rather than later, as they might go out of stock before the new supply ships. Each amiibo costs roughly $15.99, making them one of the cheaper ways to obtain amiibo from a retailer.
Super Smash Bros. GameStop Restock
ThesereprintedSuper Smash Bros.amiibo’s box artand poses are based on their appearances inSuper Smash Bros. for Wii U and 3DS. The GameStop website has a slight inconsistency with its R.O.B. listing, where the picture of the figure is the neutral gray NES colored one, while the box art image shows that is based on the Nintendo Famicom’s colors instead. While the differences are minute, some collectors will likely check to see which version of the R.O.B. amiibo is missing from their collection first before ordering.
GameStop recently restocked theLegend of Zelda: Breath of the WildGuardian amiiboback in January, which is another popular figure. The Guardian amiibo hasn’t had any problems with stock ever since its resupply, so it’s possible the restocks for Charizard, Pikachu, Duck Hunt, and R.O.B. might be in the same boat. MoreSuper Smash Bros.amiibos are likely to be reprinted in 2024 as well.
