ACNH × Sanrio Crossover Discussion + Question Thread 💗

[Nefarious]

Fnac just emailed me that they canceled my order...I’m furious.

Oh no! Did they give a reason for the cancellation? I hope this doesn't means they're understocked...

“En raison de l’indisponibilité de cette référence chez le fournisseur, votre précommande ne pourra être honorée. Nous sommes contraints de l’annuler.”
This is what they told me. Translation: Because of the unavailability of this article from the provider’s part, your preorder will not be honoured. We are forced to cancel it.

I understand that their provider, I assume Nintendo, is not able to sell them the quantity of Sanrio amiibo cards packs needed to honour their preorders, or at least mine.

I rather them oversell then I undersell tbh

Overselling isn't a good thing; that means they would have too many orders and not enough units, meaning they would have to cancel pre-orders, as we have just seen with a user on this thread.

Ugh that's terrible. Sorry to hear about that It's sad that Nintendo can never seem to make enough. While I understand it from a collector's standpoint, it's still unfortunate since amiibo cards give actual content and are not simply for collecting.

I have the Japanese versions from when they came out for NL, and I'm so excited we can have them live on our island! I wish there was more personality diversity though, then I'd probably invite them all! However, I am not a big fan of the outside of Marty's house and I don't really like the gorillas... I will likely invite Chai, she is too cute and has an adorable house, and I like the elephants c:

Assuming that they're cancelling orders while also respecting a 'first come, first serve' policy—which would be the fairest way to do it—this doesn't bode well. I recall you ordered very quickly after the news broke here (and that was before the AC World article went up, and they stopped taking orders a few hours after @Justin published that IIRC) - so I imagine a lot of people are about to be disappointed.

I wonder has nintendo actually shipped any units yet? Europe doesn't have a set release day yet, iirc, but the US does and Target still hasn't any info about preorders up yet. Maybe they erred on the side of caution and cancelled the preorder? I'll keep my fingers crossed for you to get them

I'm wondering is it worth going full Karen and tweeting the bigwigs of each "Nintendo of..." territory. Amiibo scarcity and scalpers have been a thing from the very start and they've never done anything to counteract it.

It’s worrying that they are already canceling pre-ordering. I was already worried about them not having enough. This just means getting them is going to be even harder then I originally thought. This will definitely leave a lot of people disappointed. I’m sure Nintendo knows many people are going to want the cards so I don’t see the reason to limit how many they release.

I don't think they'll have shipped yet. It could be that they kept taking preorders, then tried to order enough from Nintendo to fulfill their current preorders, and only then realized that they can't get enough cards for that. It wouldn't surprise me if they weren't expecting people from all over the world to order from them, and assumed they would only have to satisfy the demand for France and the surrounding countries, especially seeing as I didn't find any options on the site to translate the page.

As for tweets, TBH I assume it's too early to actually do anything about it until the cards are actually sold out, besides maybe ask Target nicely to implement limits and allow preorders, since that's their job and not Nintendo's. Nintendo can't really do anything besides make sure there's enough to go around, and we don't know whether or not that's the case yet, except in places like Australia where the preorders have already sold out. It might just be that Fnac couldn't get enough cards to fulfill all their orders because of people putting in preorders with them just in case they can't get a pack from Target or the retailers in their country.

If they do, then things like this happen:

Fnac just emailed me that they canceled my order...I’m furious.

Which looks worse, in my opinion.

 

[peachycrossing9]

I'm only just hearing this news of pre-orders being cancelled... That's scary.

Here in New Zealand, we have had them available to pre-order for a bit now. I only just pre-ordered mine last week, and now on the website I got them from, it says you can't anymore. I really hope they have enough stock to full everyone's orders...

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.

True, but I wonder if they are considering the idea of posting it for pre-order a day or two before release day. I know it seems "kinda" silly to do a pre-order that soon to release, but since these are such a high demand and limited number, it is understandable.

I also agree with others on here about making sure they have enough stock for pre-orders too.

 

[heartdrops]

I preordered on FNAC two days ago and I just got an email that it's canceled

 

[nightglow]

Fnac just emailed me that they canceled my order...I’m furious.

and to @heartdrops too!!
I just feel the need to say I am really sorry. That is super disappointing and upsetting. I wonder if this happens to multiple people if Nintendo will hear it from those who are upset...
I mean, Nintendo can't be oblivious to this problem... from what I hear from more seasoned fans, this was an issue during New Leaf's time?

Ooh, so glad to see the cards will be at Target! That's my go-to store and where I bought the few Amiibo cards I have, lol. My local Target isn't super busy, so if they manage to get them in stock, it shouldn't be hard to get a pack.

Honestly, I'm less interested in most of the villagers (though I def want Marty) and mostly want the furniture/clothing. I'm not the biggest Hello Kitty fan. I mean, I don't dislike Hello Kitty, I have some Hello Kitty stuff, but I couldn't tell you the names of most of them. I just know I have a Chococat from Build a Bear and a... small cat from the Hello Kitty store in New York, I think the salesperson called him Marshmallow or Mallow or something, IDK. He's white with some cream patches on his head and I think a blue bow. ANYWAY- I just think the furniture/clothing is cute and I want to do a cat themed main room for my main character's house since her name is Cat. And I need Hello Kitty furniture for it~

That being said, I wanna move Marty in at some point. He's a cutie, and not too "themed" to the point where he stands out.

Lucky I can't even get to my Target and even if I could it's super busy

Same here. I was so happy I secured a pack, since I can't seem to pre-order them anywhere here in the Netherlands. I'm so disappointed.

Yah, even though I'm glad they're at Target, it does seriously stink they're EXCLUSIVE to Target Where I live you can't go very far at all without running into one- but obviously that isn't the case for everyone, and "exclusive" things like that really can stink.

 

[Mu~]

My order from Fnac got cancelled as well

Just my regular reminder that I will do my best to secure as many packs as possible, even if it means waiting outside Target at 7:30a on 3/26. If I get enough, and you don't get any, I got you.
