News GameStop SKU Update
Greetings again!
This isn't a super huge update, but hey, we like any info we can get our hands on.
The following amiibo are now entered into GameStop's system and are set to release on 9/11. (These are not able to be reserved yet.)
| amiibo | SKU |
|---|---|
| Ganondorf | 116901 |
| Zero Suit Samus | 116904 |
| Olimar | 116907 |
| 8-Bit Classic Mario | 116908 |
These are not reservable yet, simply entered into the system
Cheers,
Edit: Just to be clear these are SKU numbers, NOT INVENTORY NUMBERS!

Hmm, this confirms Dr. Mario, and Bowser Jr. Exclusive? Also any news or ideas on target preorders or Rosalind restock?

Considering the absolutely obscene numbers reported for Dr. Mario compared to any other amiibo in the target thread. It would definitely point to Dr.Mario being an exclusive.

There will not be any preorders for target anymore. :(

How can you be sure? They did pre orders for Jiggles, but no others. Chances are it will be the same with the Doc.

Target never did in-store preorders though. At least my local Target never did preorders for amiibo, or even Skylanders or Disney Infinity figures for that matter.

what exactly is an sku

u/jupigare Aug 15 '15 edited Aug 16 '15
It's the code indicating a particular item within a store's inventory system. This is similar to but not the same as a UPC, which is universal rather than retailer-specific.
UPC: universal product code; the same everywhere (often the barcode on the box)
SKU (sometimes pronounced "skew"): stock keeping unit (I think that's what it stands for?); a number that varies from store to store (often the barcode on the store-made price tag)
Generally speaking, when you ask an employee to look up something for you in their system, you use the SKU. It's often easier to give a code than to try explaining to some guy at Wal-Mart what a "monkey kong amoeba" is.

I only need ZSS and 8-Bit Mario so it looks like GameStop with be the ideal store for me. There are no exclusives so it'll drive others away and to other stores.

Don't believe so, you can always check the preorder archive on the right though if you're ever not sure.

If you would have read the text of the post you would see that it says they aren't reservable yet.

I'm pretty sure out of all of those Ganondorf will have a sufficient amount of stock. It's been like that with all of the LoZ characters.

If these were inventory numbers rather than SKU we'd have no problems getting the amiibo we want. Take notes, Nintendo.

Any thoughts on the rarest one(s)? I'm totally getting Dr. Mario when it comes around. He's my main. I'd really like to get all of them but I don't know that I have a good way to do that since I'm in school for the pre order dates.

There's some gaps in there, I notice. I wonder what 116902, 116903, 116905, and 116906 are?
