Well I wouldn't necessarily say that. Some have been discontinued. Meaning they won't come back. Along with ones like Marth, Rosalina, and Pit. Which Nintendo said they won't be producing more off. Maybe ones like Mega Man, or Toon link etc. but a lot won't be coming back. Plus, they're pretty much moving on from the SSB line and going to MP10. After that they'll probably focus on a different game.
No i am 100% sure of it, they are doing it already, the only amiibo which were really meant to be rare are the Gold Mario amiibo and the Silver Mario amiibo. They said that they did not expect amiibo to be this big already so they manufactured just a little bit of each amiibo, even Mario can become rare if someone buys a lot of them and he will return later for sure, but it would take at least 3 months for the amiibo being registered for manufacturing, recource ordering and the actual manufacture process. Just give them some time to recover the supplies! (A lot of time xD)
Believe me i called Nintendo like 6 times about this topic already today lol

But they're not going to bring back discontinued Amiibos or ones that didn't sell well.
That's specifically why they are discontinued. No one bought them. It's a waste of their money to make something no one will buy. That's why there is an abundance of Mario, Luigi, Link, etc. because those are
Ones people will buy, and continue to buy. Half the people out there don't even know who Villager, Marth, C. Falcon are. So they're not going to make more of something that will collect dust.
Plus, Nintendo had announced a new console. I doubt they're that worried about Amiibos right now.
But they all are selling, they were still available everywhere if they didn't sell right? Well that is not the case so they will make new until it really doesn't sell anymore, as for now, they are selling great. Every single one of them so that theoy doesn't make any sense in my opinion.

They could easily make more money by restocking them and that is exactly what they are doing! Nintendo even officially announced restocks for Marth, Villager, Little Mac and Captain Falcon already!

Well Id like to see a Nintendo official source for that. Because I've looked and I see nothing but un-official sources claiming that Nintendo has "talked about it" but nothing more.
Well i don't think i know exactly where it came from but believe me, i am not someone who would believe everything i never believed the Rayman leak for example. But i got it from an Dutch site since i am Dutch, Nintendo of Europe did confirm it here, again i called them too so you also can just take it from me lol

Eh. I'll just go from what emails Nintendo sends us at work.
Remember that there could be a difference in the news Nintendo gives to Europe and to the US, we do not have any news about the Gold Mario amiibo yet but does that mean that it is non-existent? No of course not! But that is exactly what you are doing.

No. I'm going by what emails Nintendo sends my work - gamestop.
If Nintendo is going to restock Amiibos theyd more than likely send them to the US and Canada before anywhere else considering we are close to 70% of amiibo sales.
I'm not arguing about anything. I was just asking for proof.
Anyways.
Heads up my fellow canucks, Gold Mario is available on Amazon right now: http://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B00U6Y7ISC/ref=ox_ya_os_product
Noticeably for $16, not $14. Presumably this may be the new MSRP here to account for the dollar in the toilet, I sent a query to my Nintendo rep I know to see if I can get a confirmation if it will be for other amiibo as well.
EDIT: I received this statement back:
"After careful review, Nintendo of Canada Ltd. will increase the suggested retail price of its amiibo toy-to-life product line beginning April 1, 2015. The MSRP will increase from $13.99 CAD to $15.99 CAD for all amiibo launched in Canada after April 1. The price increase is in direct response to current and future projected exchange rates between Canadian and US dollars. Retailers are free to set their own prices."

Dasbreenee no, that is not true Europe also sells 70% and Australia more than 90% which means that the European amiibo will surface earlier.

Europe and Australia are one single region for Nintendo don't worry i know what i'm talking about...

You're both way overshooting.
This was their official chart in February for regional shipments. I'm sure it's still roughly accurate for determining where they all go. 70% of Amiibos are not going to PAL.
Nooo what i mean is that 70% of the amiibo shipped to Europe sold, same rule for the US. I know that the US get more amiibo in general but it is exactly the same in comparison. Only a small part of Europe major amiibo support (Luckily i am included) because a lot countries in Europe can not afford games so they get limited shipments which do not even sell.

Australia sells over 90% of all amiibo which are shipped, that is why even common amiibo are sold out and can be considered rare there. (Which totally confirms my theory about restocks but that does not make sense for now) Do you get what i mean?
Yeah sorry it is hard to speak proper english when you are foreign hahah!
