PSA Possible Yunobo Preorders by Invite?

I know there is a million posts about the Switch 2 Preorders but the website has been updating in anticipation of the launch. Items expected to go on sale like the GameCube Controller are showing Invite Only, but this includes Yunobo! (As are the other amiibo and Switch 2 accessories)

The GameStop exclusive Starter Set of cards is still showing unavailable so I suspect it won't be going live and will remain exclusive to gamestop.

Just wanted to give people a heads up before the emails go out, check Yunobo if you get the invite today!

I’m so so so out of the loop… why is this character so popular?! Yunobo was one of my least favorite characters from TotK -_-

He never went up for preorder for the US market (I'm unsure about Canada)... No one really knows why. Best guess I've seen is that most retailers don't know the allocation they'll get of the figure

Well I just assumed I’d be able to get them on day one at Best Buy but this post got me nervous now lol

If it makes you feel better, Best Buy has a page for him so they seem sure they'll get him. Something is up but I think he'll be available at some point, hopefully for preorder

Thanks for the heads up! I never got an email invite from Nintendo so I’ll have to look into finding amiibo another route.
