Very poor management already Nintendo. Which is not necessarily explained by an unwillingness but a rate of outputs that they are obliged to hold. The amiibo sell a lot (more than expected) and they must leave all the figures provided as soon as possible. It would be uneconomic and con out the latest figures from Super Smash Bros 2 years after the release of the game. They must continue the production of new models as soon as possible, while réalimantant popular figurines (Mario, Link etc ...) that sell like hotcakes, already verging on out of stock on some sites / shops, and have more applications than characters such as Lucina, Ness or Harmony. I think the company responsible for the production of figurine running at maximum speed.
Nintendo is managing it all wrong but I wonder what they can do there ...
But they are not alone. The distributors are key to point the finger. Limit online shopping to 1 copy per customer would no doubt satisfy many more people. As a web developer, I can attest that most sites already have this option but do not just active. Otherwise it is relatively simple to implement. Unfortunately, as they sell their stocks it is to do anything that will or will not be. Sell quickly is better than selling well ...
So we end up with a handful of idiots that scoop up entire stocks online, to resell the figures from 15 to 30 euros more (and thus win the beautiful and extraordinary sum of 30 euros to 200 euros the most "glorious" in bébéfices, youhou the richeeeeeeesse !!! That should change their lives.), creating a shortage online and in stores.
In short it deserves one star, half and half for Nintendo to amazon (but applicable to other sites / shops, there is amazon taking). One Star Two good score.
