Amiibo-crazy fans better get their Amazon accounts ready, as the online retailer is one of a few stores that’ll have a few of the Nintendo interactive toys in stock tomorrow.
Thanks to Amiibo News on Twitter, we have a range of times that Amazon plans to dole out the various figures it will have on sale tomorrow. The company is planning to stagger the releases of the new Silver Mario and Splatoon figures along with some returning favorites, so if you’re looking for one Amiibo in particular, you can use this guide to figure out when to start smashing the refresh button on your browser.

- Pac-Man: 2 p.m.-2:30 p.m. Pacific Time
- Charizard: 2:30 p.m.-3 p.m. Pacific Time
- Inkling Boy: 3 p.m.-3:30 p.m. Pacific Time
- Lucina: 3:30 p.m.-4 p.m. Pacific Time
- Wario: 4 p.m.-4:30 p.m. Pacific Time
- Inkling Girl: 4:30 p.m.-5 p.m. Pacific Time
- Silver Mario: 5 p.m.-5:30 p.m. Pacific Time
- Robin: 5:30 p.m.-6 p.m. Pacific Time
- Splatoon 3-pack: 6 pm.-6:30 p.m. Pacific Time
In addition to the times, it’s important that you know that Amazon is planning to limit the sale of each figure to one per customer. The company is also turning off 1-click ordering, and it suggests that you have your credit card and shipping info up-to-date and saved before you try to purchase one of these toys.
This is one of the more organized rollouts we’ve seen from a retailer when it comes to these Amiibo toys. People have had a rotten time trying to buy these figures from retailers previously, and the situation got so bad that Nintendo even apologized to fans. We’ll see if this staggering strategy will make a difference.
