ACNH × Sanrio Crossover Discussion + Question Thread 💗

[John Wick]

Yeah, fear of missing out is a nasty psychological manipulation tactic Nintendo seems to be relying on a little too much, to the point of limiting digital sales and not filling all preorders.

That's why I'm not renewing my nintendo online account.

Amazon also has series 2 packs for $11 and one from each for $54 (which seems crazy expensive...)

Here in europe one card pack of three cards (2 villagers one "special") is 11 dollars.. lol

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.

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.

I’m definitely moving in Chelsea (purely bc my actual name is Chelsea lol) plus she’s a adorable normal and deer are my favourite personality/species so it’s a win win. I’m also thinking of moving in Marty he looks adorable.

I love that we are finally getting some sort of new furniture. Even if I won’t use it. However, the bridge item in tobys house is a most have for me.

I’m really looking forward to the next update. I’ve been waiting so long to have Chelsea on my island and finally it’s going to happen.

This thread is low key wholesome with all the helpful people who want to buy people cards omg y'all

Think nothing of it!

I'm alright with this and if the offer is still open I'll take you up on it.

Sure! Make sure to contact me by pm on release day. Again, I can't make any promises but I'll do the best I can.

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 don’t know if I’ll be able to check back in time because scalpers... this makes me think no preorders.

I'm sorry if this was asked already, but if you have Sanrio cards from New Leaf a few years ago, will they work in NH when the update comes out?

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.

I'm so excited my New Leaf character wears the kiki & lala clothes all the tiiime

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 don’t know how I’ll be able to get them now. I hope they’ll be available on Amazon soon.

I’ll keep checking this thread to make sure I’m updated about the preorder situation in Europe and I’ll share any information I have.
