Earlier today, we found out that the Dark Pit amiibo will be exclusive to Best Buy in the United States. The retailer has since followed up with an official announcement.
Best Buy will be handling the sale of Dark Pit in a different manner than usual. For one thing, pre-orders won’t be available for the figure. He also won’t be sold online. You’ll need to head to your local Best Buy on July 31 for a chance of obtaining Dark Pit.

Looks like we have another retailer-exclusive amiibo on our hands here in the United States! When Dark Pit launches later this month, it seems as though it will only be sold by Best Buy. You’ll notice that there’s an “Only @ Best Buy” image attached to the amiibo when searching from him over on the store’s website.
The Palutena amiibo launches alongside Dark Pit this month as well. Chances are that figure will also be a retailer-exclusive.
Thanks to CarpetCrawler for the tip.
