>>23530649The primary issue was that a lot of folks were worried about their favorite characters not being ever rereleased, like say Ike, Ness or Lucas - who are not ever starring in any other forseeable game in the future, especially if they decide to drop the whole amiibo thing by the time the next Smash game comes out.
The ones that would get the most use such as Link and Mario aren't going to run out any time soon though, so you can pick those out at any time and will be the ones you would be able to find in a bargain bin should that ever happen.
I only bought ones I actually planned on using, really - Shulk and Link.
Of course, Japan was better about the whole scalper thing so I didn't even have to preorder Shulk or anything.
