Just left from a store near my place and they said not only are they no longer accepting pre-orders but the rest of the city's locations aren't as well. They are going by actually stock and the numbers that I were given as far as quantity goes (about 13-15 each, with more popular characters like Fox being limited to less for some odd reason) they will almost certainly sell out during the day of launch.
Of course we all expected something like this to happen but here's the PSA for those who aren't aware of Nintendo's "supply and demand" shenanigans. Most games and items are available for pre-order up until the day of release unless its a major title with huge clout (CoD, perhaps, GTA, etc. etc.) in which case pre-orders might and will sell out before or long before launch day. Stock usually gets replenished pretty quickly.
However Nintendo tends to drag their feet to replenish stock in some instances so yeah, if you are counting on getting Amiibo from GS and I'll even go ahead and throw other retailers in the mix.....do it now. If they sell out, it might be a little while before they come back in in steady supply (keyword), especially since Black Friday and Co. are upon us.
Check your GS in your area and perhaps the other retailers and find out before they're gone, possibly for a little while.
