Nintendo treating us like dirt and America can't even get a pre-order? I just wish they weren't exclusive to one store or at least a store that wasn't less common. I get they're going for the "rare card" idea but it's not fun. It's less rare and more of "here's today's headache 
"

I'm excited about these cards but also very concerned. I had to deal with scalpers trying to get the PS5 and it was so awful. They used bots that literally bought up all inventory within SECONDS. The websites couldn't handle the traffic and would freeze. The extra awful part was when you finally got one in your cart and hit pay only for the website to say "sorry, this item is now out of stock". Keep in mind people are still struggling to get PS5's while the scalpers grab them all up using bots and overcharge for them.
I really hope we don't have a similar issue with the cards but I'm not feeling confident. Especially since they are exclusive to Target. If there is no option to pre-order and limiting the amount you can buy then I see this being a big mess.

TBH I think it could be worse with the cards. With the PS5, it's only the console that's in short supply, from what I could tell, so scalpers are buying up all the consoles and leaving the accessories and games, and I assume at least some people are waiting to buy those things until they have their console, meaning even if retailers are making money on the consoles, they're sitting on everything else. Either way, the consoles are gonna sell out, so they might as well implement purchase limits if they wanna sell anything else. As for the cards, it makes little to no difference whether they sell to scalpers or to actual people, besides maybe getting people onto the site or in the store, but I doubt whether or not they get the cards will really affect anything.I'm excited about these cards but also very concerned.

Out of curiousity, and because I'm not in the US, I went ahead and looked up how many Targets there are. It's about 1,800 storea, compared to 4,700 Walmarts. I had always assumed these were the major supermarkets there, so they'd be about equal, so I learned something today lol
This does have me concerned about the numbers of cards Nintendo are going to produce
Hopefully preorders go up soon, or they limit it to one per person to try to dissuade scalpers. I remember the Nintendo online store had limited it to one per person. As of now there's still no listing for the cards on the US site.

Iβm definitely moving in Chelsea (purely bc my actual name is Chelsea lol) plus sheβs a adorable normal and deer are my favourite personality/species so itβs a win win. Iβm also thinking of moving in Marty he looks adorable.
I love that we are finally getting some sort of new furniture. Even if I wonβt use it. However, the bridge item in tobys house is a most have for me.
Iβm really looking forward to the next update. Iβve been waiting so long to have Chelsea on my island and finally itβs going to happen.

It would be nice to know if the cards will be sold online or be stocked at our local Target... because even though I have a Target near and in a smallish town, they definitely have less stock than the Target closer to the city. Buying online seems like it's going to be a race.
Whatever happens, I'll never buy from a scalper. They're not doing anyone any favors, they're profiteering.

I know someone else already asked this on Twitter, but I figured it would be worth a shot. And I donβt know if Iβll be able to check back in time because scalpers... this makes me think no preorders.
Yes, they will.
I never opened the pack I bought in 2016. May finally do so when the update drops, although I'm not really into the aesthetic of any of the Sanrio stuff.

Yes those are the same cards
I don't thin it's Nintendo that's the problem, I think it's Target. They could be waiting to hear how many they'll have per store in order to not oversell.Nintendo treating us like dirt and America can't even get a pre-order?

SERIOUSLY??? OMG these cards are such a headache. Can't they just put them on Amazon or something and be done??
I have no idea. I donβt know how Iβll be able to get them now. I hope theyβll be available on Amazon soon.
Iβll keep checking this thread to make sure Iβm updated about the preorder situation in Europe and Iβll share any information I have.
