The new Zelda amiibo are expected to launch tomorrow but all the preorders are already sold out. Furthermore loads of the old amiibo are only possible to get at exorbitant prices on ebay.
Now if it were basic merchandise this would be just a shame. But since the Amiibo's contain DLC it is now impossible to get certain content legally.
I already feel I need to hoard the Mario amiibo because they might have functionality in Odyssey. Getting the new Mario amiibo's seems like a dream.
I really wish Nintendo would change the current situation. Preferably by re-releasing and producing more amiibo. Another option would be to have the unique items for sale, you'll miss the daily bonus but the unique content would not be dependent on your ability to be on a webshop within 5 minutes of a release.
The only option I have now is to create my own NFC tags for the missing Amiibo. From Nintendo's viewpoint that can't be the preferred way.
Having nice looking statues for your DLC is great but this way it just creates loads of frustration.
