My amiibo left nintendo Australia warehouse on 9 Jan and is still in transit.
Sigh maybe tomorrow
I blame the wildlife.
Stolen by Dingos confirmed :P
Oh, and random side note - when I went to go get my amiibo from Best Buy found out the store was closing. I was about to be upset and then I said to myself, "literally when is the last time I went here for something that was not an amiibo?" (because fuck paying $4 shipping for a $12 item). I swear those stores are not long for this world...
Why didn’t Lady Byleth get an amiibo? Come on, Nintendo.
Because dumb. Honestly I think amiibos have largely died as a fad and Nintendo realized this ("why make two of the same character when they won't sell?"). They're probably mostly doing the Smash Bros DLC ones out of social obligation. Otherwise they barely ever make new ones anymore except for their big tentpole titles.
Still, it annoys me that like Corrin got a "player 2" and no one else. FFS, female Robin is my favorite, why do you hate me Nintendo? There's a lot of other characters this would have worked nice with too, like Olimar, Bowser Jr, etc.
They look so clean!
And the wait for Sora continues (probably indefinitely)
Nah I don't think so. Sora isn't really a "Disney" character. As long as they aren't making amiibos of Mickey or Donald or whatever I think they'll be fine getting permission.

It's been nearly two years - every other character's Amiibo was announced long before now. Plus Sakurai went out of his way to say it's very possible we might not be getting every single Amiibo. I think I'd put money down on Sora not happening.

*shrug* I mean, Sora was announced way after all the others. There hasn't really been an opportunity to announce an amiibo since he was the last character (whereas most of the last few got announced during his reveal). There probably is some extra negotiations involved here (I mean, it's not just Disney but also Square-Enix so there's multiple 3rd parties) so it might take longer than most. And without a relevant event they might just kinda wait until either a Kingdom Hearts thing or just "it's gonna be out soon" to announce. But I have a gut feeling it's still gonna happen. Could possibly not, but this is the company that got permission to put Goldeneye 64 on their Switch virtual console thingy :P
Also Sakurai's statement was, IMO, more a disclaimer. "Hey, there's a chance we can't make this happen" rather than "we definitely can't make this happen."

Then again, they went out of their way to announce the Pyra/Mythra amiibo over a year ago, without any real opportunity or event. The existence of Sora is still waaaaaaay overdue. The timing is still very, very, very odd compared to every other Ultimate Amiibo.
Granted Sakurai is cautious, but I get the feeling he wouldn't have mentioned it at all if it wasn't for the Sora Amiibo. His statement could also be interpreted as a polite way of saying "yeah, we're not getting Sora."

I was a little disappointed that FE: Engage didn't bother making ones for Alear, but... considering their design... maybe for the best.

Good things come to those who wait:
I'm not holding my breath.
If it does come, though, I'll look into getting the Pyra/Mythra and then Noah/Mio when they release.

Gamestop seems sold out but was able to get one from Best Buy
But you know I'll never own them since we don't actually get significant runs of anything that isn't a first party game/character anymore.
