I am one of the of the people who has been beyond frustrated with these things. I collected a set of the first run of Skylanders for my son, including getting the Legendary ones (but NOT getting the insanely limited E3 paint job). It took some effort, some hunting and one early morning trip to Toys R Us (insanely early since I misread when they were open).
Getting the Amiibos has been an exercise in frustration. My local Toys R Us got in the newest wave and sold out in 1 minute. 1 freaking minute. Not even enough time to boil an egg. Insane.
For me at least a big part of the problem is the time they launched. Right during the Christmas shopping season. At the time period when I can not even consider buying things for myself. I love Punch Out, I wanted the Little Mac Amiibo. I could not get it when it came out. I was hopping someone would get it for me for Christmas, but no such luck. I did however get 2 Zeldas. Sigh. Now I will probably never get it.
Between this and the nightmare that has been Majora's Mask I am fed up with Nintendo. Majora's Mask is one of my all time favorite games and I am refusing to buy it. Will they care? No. But I feel better.
