Gamestop confirmed rumors of them holding a special Amiibo event this weekend. Announcement was made by their official mobile app. May or may not require a Pro membership account in order to make a purchase but some stores might be requiring it.

While rumors and pamphlets have been circulating for an amiibo event on Saturday, now we have official confirmation by way of GameStop's mobile app (above). There's nothing up on the main site now but I expect there will be a full announcement soon. In short, stores will open one hour early on Saturday, at which point folks will have a chance to pre-order one "Retro 3-pack," which consists of R.O.B., Game & Watch, and Duck Hunt.
It doesn't seem like you need a Pro membership as rumors suggested, but rumblings are suggesting that some stores may require you to sign up at the time of purchase if you don't have one -- so budget accordingly just in case.
