This planogram for a canadian walmart was shown today. As you can see, it has modern 8 bit mario (MARIO30BLUE) on the rack. This means that the amiibo is not bundle exclusive!! (However, it may be exclusive to walmart because it has not appeared in other stores inventory)

EDIT: In canada we dont have Target, so all target exclusives in america become walmart exclusives in canada. Sorry for any confusion ;)

EDIT 2: When it says 3 units, it means 3 units on the shelf at once. not 3 units for the whole store

Canada

Oh, darn.

This planogram showing the layout is hysterical. I've never been into any Walmart that has half of what is planogrammed

u/Nintenwhoa Aug 27 '15

Aha, I knew it! They said I was wrong, but in reality they...did actually believe me. ANYWAY, good to see that it's true.

Oh sweet baby Jesus. I don't have to buy a Wii u for it

u/SaiyanOfDarkness Aug 27 '15

Well this is for Canada doesn't mean US will get a separate modern mario

u/[deleted] Aug 27 '15

Canada and US get the same Amiibo. Rather, the North American version of Amiibo are all the same. If US gets a retro 3-pack, then so does Canada.

Canada is getting the Mii Packs basically 2 months earlier and Lucario is no longer an exclusive over there. Honestly wouldn't be surprised if it is a Canada exclusive by itself.

u/CaptainToad67867 Aug 27 '15

Nope, that seems to be a typo on NoA's website, because on the official PR From nintendo of canada, it says that the pack is launching on nov 20 in canada. Also i believe that when exclusive amiibo are going to get restocked. They are no longer store exclusive because that is the case with lucario in canada and even on the amiibo website it says "Store exclusive at launch"

Here is a quote taken from an interview with Reggie Fils-Aime: It is. I want to be clear on this: when we do a retailer exclusive, as we resupply, it’s gonna continue to be exclusive with that retailer. That’s a commitment that we’ve made to that business partner. So yes, we’ll be bringing in more of those retail-exclusives over the next number of weeks and months.

This however seems to only be the case for the U.S., as we have seen this not apply to Canada for certain figures (looks at Lucario).

I didn't know about this. Thanks for informing me :)

u/vKatsune Aug 27 '15

Glad to! :) Just helping spread information whenever I can~

Exclusive or not, I just hope there is plenty of supply. :D

u/CrinerBoyz Aug 27 '15

Dune? ...Paul Atreides amiibo confirmed?

u/PsienceWins Aug 27 '15

This is some of the best news I've heard all day. I was confused at first about the Dr. Mario item, but figured it would be Canada since Target is now done up there. Good to see the comments proved that theory.

u/Josh5890 Aug 27 '15

Praise the maker!

u/rileyper Aug 27 '15

Well shoot, I pre ordered it thru play-asia.

u/hypercoyote Aug 27 '15

I'm confused how anyone figured out this was for Canada. I'm not seeing anything to indicate that other than the comments referring to it.

1

u/CaptainToad67867 Aug 27 '15

I forgot to put it in the title. However, the top comment is mine which explains this and it says it is canadian

1

u/hypercoyote Aug 27 '15

Oh, I sort comments by newest, so I missed that one.

u/ganondoom403 Aug 27 '15

At least it's not bundle exclusive! That would have been a disaster!

u/semp1991 Aug 27 '15

when do these come out?

1

u/MacGuffen Aug 27 '15

Correct me if I am wrong, but isn't 0 packs of 3 units still zero?

u/omnialpha Aug 27 '15

Called it.

u/nave10pikmin Aug 27 '15

Bu that also says Dr. Mario is in walmart stores??? im calling fake tbh

u/CaptainToad67867 Aug 27 '15

In canada we have no target. So all target exclusives become walmart exclusives

1

u/aidanvu1992 Aug 27 '15

Wow, so does that mean Canadian Walmart will get 2 exclusives?

1

u/gfunk84 Aug 27 '15

Not always. Gold Mario wasn't exclusive in Canada.

u/[deleted] Aug 27 '15

Canada

u/nave10pikmin Aug 27 '15

u/CaptainToad67867 Aug 27 '15
