Second wave of Amiibo coming to Best Buy and Toys 'R' Us

Nintendo’s first wave of amiibo released last month on November 21st, coinciding with the release of Super Smash Bros. for Wii U. So far Nintendo has announced that there will be four waves of amiibo and the second wave was slated to release this month. However, Nintendo did not specify a release date for the second wave in the US. But after another leak of one of Best Buy’s ad-flyers, it turns out that the amiibo release date is set for next week, December 19th.

The flyer also states that there will be a buy one get one 40% off all Wii U and 3DS games from Nintendo, as well as the release date for the next six amiibo. Aside from Best Buy, Toys ‘R’ Us and Amazon/Target/Walmart will also be releasing their amiibo collection, though each has a different date.

Though Best Buy and Nintendo have not confirmed this information, so buyers will have to wait for an official confirmation. But with other stores releasing their amiibos earlier, that isn’t too much of a worry.

The second wave of amiibo figures will consist of Diddy Kong, Zelda, Luigi, Little Mac, Pit and Captain Flacon while the first wave featured Mario, Link, Fox, Yoshi, Pikachu, Princess Peach, Samus Aran, Kirby, Marth, Donkey Kong, the Wii Fit Trainer and Villager. The third wave is set to release on January 22nd, 2015 and will feature Bowser, Lucario, Toon Link and more.

The first wave of amiibo’s sold out pretty fast and even had some super rare figures (Samus Aran sold for 2,500$ on ebay), it’s probably best to pre-order your amiibo for next week, in case of another sell out.

Also here is a list of stores which will be releasing the second wave of amiibo:

Toys ‘R’ Us: December 12th

Amazon/Target/Walmart: December 14th

Best Buy: December 19th.
