Well, this is certainly odd! Rumours are coming in from Twitter and NeoGAF that a portion of the Yarn Yoshi amiibo figures have been destroyed by an individual or group. Because this has happened pre-orders across Europe are currently being canceled and notifications have started to go out to those that preordered the amiibo figures.

Update: “Yarn Yoshi pre-orders cancellations are only coming from France at the moment and they were first reported on @infoamiibo. Auchan (a major retailer) said on twitter Nintendo France destroyed bundles and amiibo, and the same goes for Boulanger (another major french retailer) who told us exactly the same thing.”
