Amiibo Alert! Wave 4 Date Confirmed, With Two More Waves On The Horizion!
Amiibo hunters! It’s time to prep the tents and hover your mouse over the refresh button, because new figures are incoming!
Releasing on May 29th, the long since announced Wave 4 figures finally have a solid release date, with a few new surprises thrown in. In addition to the previously revealed Robin, Lucina, Charizard, Wario, Pac-Man and Ness, the latest wave will also round out the Pokemon roster, throwing in Greninja and Jigglypuff for good measure.
The bad news? Those last three are store exclusive, with Ness going to GameStop, Jigglypuff heading to Target, and Greninja getting the $1 privilege tax at Toys R Us. Their pre order schedule is as follows:
GameStop: Ness and the rest of wave 4 to go on pre-order at 2PM CST, (that’s Noon Pacific and 3PM Eastern.)
Toys R Us: Greninja and possibly the rest of wave 4 go up on 4/3/2015 with no time announced, so be at those stores or get your coffee ready for an all-night refresh binge.
Target and every other games retailer: Nothing announced yet, although the exclusive Jigglypuff went on sale for a whole four minutes before selling out.
And by the way, if you were expecting a break, Nintendo isn’t going to be so kind. In July, the Kid Icarus Uprising collection will be complete, adding Dark Pit and Palutena to the mix. Lastly, in September, the Mario and Zelda crew will all be accounted for, when Ganondorf, Dr. Mario and Bowser Jr. all get the Amiibo treatment alongside Zero Suit Samus and Olimar. This leaves out R.O.B., Duck Hunt, Mr. Game And Watch, and Falco Amiibo, but something tells me they might either be added to July’s bare wave, or in the case of Falco, might be added to September to match up with a potential Star Fox Wii U launch.
How many of you are already in line? Are you only getting a few, or all of them? We’re in too deep now, man!
