Nintendo’s Amiibo figurines have been notoriously hard to collect since their release last year, but online store Amazon listed out very specific instructions for purchasing the next round.
In an email circulated to anyone on Amazon’s Amiibo mailing list, the retailer lists out the times each of the Wave 4 Amiibo will be available for purchase when they go on sale tomorrow, May 29.
Here are the text, times, and links from the email:
“Throughout the afternoon of Friday, May 29, we’ll be posting each Wave 4 Amiibo figure individually within the following time windows. Each will become available for purchase at a random time during that time frame. Mark your calendars for the following times this Friday!”
- Pac-Man: 2:00 p.m. – 2:30 p.m. PT
- Charizard: 2:30 p.m. – 3:00 p.m. PT
- Inkling Boy: 3:00 p.m. – 3:30 p.m. PT
- Lucina: 3:30 p.m. – 4:00 p.m. PT
- Wario: 4:00 p.m. – 4:30 p.m. PT
- Inkling Girl: 4:30 p.m. – 5:00 p.m. PT
- Silver Mario: 5:00 p.m. – 5:30 p.m. PT
- Robin: 5:30 p.m. – 6:00 p.m. PT
- Inkling Boy, Girl, and Squid 3-pack: 6:00 p.m. – 6:30 p.m. PT
“We’re limiting each Amiibo figure to one per customer, and we’ll be disabling 1-Click Ordering. Additionally, it’d be helpful to make sure you’ve updated your credit card and shipping information to help you move quickly through the checkout process.
“We’ve seen a tremendous amount of interest for the latest wave of Amiibo figures and we’re always working with Nintendo to get our hands on more. While we cannot guarantee that every customer who wants an amiibo will be able to purchase one when they become available on May 29th, we are doing our best to make sure customers have an opportunity to purchase their favorite characters!”
Demand is expected to be especially high; earlier this year, pre-orders for Wave 4 Amiibo crashed GameStop’s online and in-store servers. In the US, GameStop has the Ness figure (from Earthbound) as a retail exclusive. Meanwhile, the Jigglypuff Amiibo is a Target exclusive in the US, thus neither figure is listed above.
In the UK, a truck transporting Splatoon Amiibo figurines was stolen, forcing the retailer to cancel many pre-orders for that set.
The next waves of Amiibo are set to roll out in July and September.
