If you plan on getting your hands on the upcoming Bowser Jr. amiibo, be prepared: this toy-to-life will be available exclusively from Toys ‘R’ Us, according to a tweet from the retailer.

Bowser Jr. is, of course, Bowser’s son, and he has made dozens of game appearances and acquired quite the fan following. He’s one of several new amiibo coming out on September 11—the same day that Super Mario Maker hits shelves. September 11 is also the 30th anniversary of the original Super Mario Bros. game.

The other amiibo that will be available on the 11th are Dr. Mario, Ganondorf, Olimar, Zero Suit Samus and the 8-bit Mario that comes bundled with some editions of Super Mario Maker (but which is also available for purchase on its own). Shortly after that on the 25th, the first series of card amiibos will be hitting shelves, and there are already 100 different cards to collect.

Gird your wallets.
