Reports are coming in from twitter that someone has destroyed the special edition Yarn Yoshi amiibo. Pre-orders are being cancelled left and right in Europe. No word yet if the NA stock was also damaged.

JET FUEL CAN'T MELT YARN YOSHIS!

 

[RadioJoNES64]

R.I.P Yoshi.

 

[Wario64]

what

 

[Richie]

Woah Jeff

 

[YianGaruga]

"Someone" has destroyed all (or many) Yarn Yoshi amiibos? Huh?

 

[Peterthumpa]

Dat Digital Event backslash.

 

[Cosmonaut X]

BRERA STRIKES AGAIN!

 

[cirrhosis]

Man, Nintendo can't win.

Wonder who this someone is.

 

[SigSig]

Wait, "someone"? As in, somebody destroyed them on purpose? Not unintentionally damaged while shipping?
What???

 

[daxgame]

what does that even mean? I don't understand.

 

[Dunkley]

mariotehplumber strikes again.

 

[BrettHeazy]

first the batmobile, now this...

what has the world come to?!

 

[thefit]

My heart...no, please no!

 

[Interceptor]

When a petition isn't enough.
Serious business.

 

[Tenebrous]

Wait, "someone"? As in, somebody destroyed them on purpose? Not unintentionally damaged while shipping?
What???

If true, how fucking petty can someone be?

 

[LiK]

I don't understand

This is almost as funny as the splatoon amiibo hijacking.

Spoiler

Sux they looked decent aswell.

 

[DrArchon]

Seems like fate itself is out to screw over European Amiibo fans. First the Splatoon theft and now this. Unbelievable.

 

[morukutsu]

What? The translation is really bad (I'm French).
"Rupture de stock" means "sold out".

Even tough the litteral translation is "broken".

Edit: or maybe it's sold out because someone destroyed it.

Spoiler

I have mine anyway.

 

[Einbroch]

Amiibo is such a clusterfuck, even if this isn't Nintendo's fault, the whole thing just can't catch a break.

 

[Rymuth]

Whyyyyyyy

 

[claude.labonte]

what is this?

there shouldn't be since the NA release is pretty far away, may be they haven't even started making the edition for NA

BTW this is like the second time I see something bad happening with the amiibos in Europe, last time was a theft of the Europe Splatoon special edition which came with the squid amiibo

 

[Hibiki Kurosawa]

first the batmobile, now this...

what has the world come to?!

There's was also the stolen Splatoon speciak editions not long ago.

 

[YianGaruga]

Alright I'll admit to it

Fuck Yoshi

 

[BronsonLee]

what

Yeah that can't be right.

Woah Jeff

GERSTMANN HAS LOST IT

 

[Captain Smoker]

amiibo gets crazier every day.

• Guys buys all Rosalina because he hates her and noone should be able to get one.
• UK truck full of amiibo gets stolen in spectacular heist.
• "Someone" destroys all Yoshi Yarn amiibos. Poor Yoshi.

 

[MarkMclovin]

I just can't imagine someone going through loads of boxes and fucking them up.

 

[sixteen-bit]

These are gonna be mad rare

 

[Infernal Monkey]

Yoshi secretly renamed to 'NEW 3 DS amiibo' confirmed.

 

[Maebe]

How could you destroy something so cute? Pure evil.

 

[Intel_89]

I tip my tinfoil hat off to you sir, got a good chuckle off of this thread.

 

[Kouichi]

What kind of monster would do such a horrible thing.

 

[SenkiDala]

I'm French, they don't talk about "someone" they just say that a part of the stock has been destroyed. How? By who? What happened? They don't say anything about it.

 

[Hasney]

Are we sure this isn't based off a bad translation somewhere? I mean, even that Tweet says "his stock" referring to Nintendo.

 

[Kyzer]

So seriously when can I preorder wooly yoshi amiibo

 

[JetSetRadio]

Got to keep the hypetrain moving, sounds like some sort of sick pr.

 

[Real Hero]

Imagine someone setting a mountain of Yarn Yoshi's on fire like Joker with the money in the Dark Knight. Some people just want to see Amiibo burn

 

[zroid]

errrrr

 

[HardRojo]

Amiibo will truly be the end of the world as we know it. Just wait for the Pokémon amiibo line to come out. Oh god...

 

[Theanine3D]

You have to be straight up dead inside to even think about harming something so adorable. WTF?

 

[Alucrid]

Reggie is a genius. Say that they're increasing production, then create false flags about the destruction of amiibo stock.

 

[djplaeskool]

This is even funnier now

 

[Stallion Dan]

Clearly a Metroid fan.

 

[Nosgotham]

this cant be right

 

[E_Darkness]

Well yarn is flammable...

 

[Klart]

Understandable after this E3.

 

[ElectricBlanketFire]

This is even funnier now

I enjoyed this 4 hour long portion of the presentation.
