Re: The Nintendo Amiibo Discussion Thread
Whatever their decision is, it's very stupid and has been very discussed throughout social websites. Making something this limited will not please fans at all. It's just causing them trouble to get the figurines and supporting resellers. This will end up in multiple situations:
- people having incomplete collections
- people quitting collecting them or buying different waves in the future
- nintendo doesn't make the same profit it could be doing, only resellers do
- many fans will pay good cash for the sold out figurines and those same fans probably won't be buying more if Nintendo ever decides to release more stock later.
This is not the type of item that should be limited. It's not a limited edition console or game. This is the type of item that should be mass produced because everyone wants them, even those who say they don't. Nintendo is just making a bunch of bad decisions lately and that only upsets costumers in general once they start to lose the patience from constantly trying to get the new waves. If they didn't have the capability of responding to demand, they should have tested the market differently, and not start with a roost of nearly 50 characters to release in Amiibo format, over half of which will become a nightmare to get because Nintendo thinks they are not interesting or popular enough - wrong!
