[Original] Offering toys-to-life figures exclusively at specific retailers isn't new for the video game industry, so you shouldn't be surprised to hear that two of Nintendo's amiibo figurines have their own hideaways at the likes of GameStop and Best Buy.
Shulk, of Xenoblade, is only available at GameStop and Nintendo has revealed that Meta Knight will only be available at Best Buy stores. While these exclusive deals may prove frustrating for consumers who want to collect everything, you may only want one of the toys and to that end you have to seek them out.
