Ok, I need advice.
I have all 3 waves. Full sets. Sealed.
Do I cash out now? or wait for Wave 4? Or just keep them long term? My game guy at JB tells me that the Nintendo rep has told him that Nintendo Japan still has TONNES of stock in a Japanese warehouse of Waves 1 and 2 that they're holding onto for the time being. Not sure whether to believe that or not.
Because I think Nintendo is going to release too many of these to be able to keep up. So I'm thinking I might cash out after Wave 4.
It's all just speculation really. Some people say they're discontinued, others don't. No one can be sure unless you're working for Nintendo.
FWIW, as someone who doesn't much care for the amiibo's, I'd be selling them nowish while they're in hot demand and letting someone who wants to collect them have them.
They're also a licence to print money for Nintendo so I'd be really surprised if we didn't see every wave come out again at some point in the future. At the end of the day Nintendo have to do the right thing by the shareholders and this seems like an obvious thing to do.
So I'd say sell if you're not keen on collecting them. Not necessarily right this second if you want the wave 4 ones too, but I'd be doing it in the next few months.
