Nintendo: Some Amiibo Figures May Return in the Future

Nintendo stated it is trying to "manage shelf space during the launch period"
Nintendo said in a statement to gaming news website Siliconera, that some amiibo may return in the future. The company previously told Wired that several of the amiibo figures will "likely" not get second shipments.
Some amiibo were very popular at launch, and it is possible that some amiibo in the United States, Canada and Latin America may not be available right now due to high demand and our efforts to manage shelf space during the launch period. Certain sold-out amiibo may return to these markets at a later stage. We are continually aiming to always have a regular supply of amiibo in the marketplace and there are many waves of amiibo to come. The distribution and availability of amiibo in other regions around the world may be different.
Nintendo previously commented after North American buyers noticed that some figures, such as Fire Emblem's Marth, the Animal Crossing Villager, and the Wii Fit Trainer, were sold out at a number of retailers and apparently not slated to return.
Amiibo figures unlock exclusive game content and features in games such as Super Smash Brothers. The first round of figures shipped on November 21, and the second round is slated for February 2015.
