ACNH × Sanrio Crossover Discussion + Question Thread 💗

[tajikey]

The fact these cards are causing so much stress and they haven't been released is beyond me ! I don't get what's so difficult about setting up pre orders or making more than like 100,000 cards. They know they're in high demand thus the reason why they're bringing them back !! Ugh..

It's all just speculation at this point. We have no clue how many are being made and distributed. Demand could outweigh supply, supply outweigh demand, or it will be perfect.

No stress on my end. I could get 0, 1, or 6, who knows.

I just hope to snag ONE PACK and I can order online. With my luck I couldn't make it to Target upon release day and if I could I'd probably not be able to snag a pack. I just wish Target or Nintendo or who ever would answer our questions

 

[bebebese]

It's bizarre to me that preorders are sold out and getting cancelled. This is the second highest selling game for the switch, surely that would indicate the amount of interest and demand for the cards.

On a slightly different note, the nintendo uk store had both the spring and ssbu Isabelle amiibo back in stock after what feels like years. Dunno if this would indicate anything but I thought it was worth pointing out.

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.

Okay, now I am scared I will get a cancellation email as well... Netherlands here as well. That sucks for you, though: (

As of yet, I have heard nothing from Fnac. When did you order your cards? I ordered mine on the 26th..

If I still get them maybe we can share the cards in some way? I am not really willing to sell the cards per se as they will be the only ones I own, but maybe I can help you get items and the villagers? I could probably have said this in Dutch, but o well..

I rarely post here (this is actually one of my first posts) but I just wanted to share that my order from FNAC got cancelled as well. At first I thought it got cancelled cause I'm from US and they wanted to cater to EU/France first but seeing how some people from EU also got their orders cancelled, I guess that's not the case. To those who were around during the first run of sanrio collab, did Nintendo print those cards in multiple waves? Or did they just print all at once and release them all into the market, which means there's only 1 chance to get a pack?

A hug for you as well, that really sucks!

All packets of the Sanrio amiibo cards were sold out in pre-order everywhere in the country before I even know they were coming back! I would really like to own the cards, I adore the set so much but I doubt I am going to get the chance to get to a store quickly enough when they are in stock and just like the re-release of series 1-4 amiibo cards, I doubt that they will get restocked. I am hoping it will be possible to adopt the Sanrio characters from other people's islands just like with a normal villager. I would really love to have Toby on my island. If anyone knows whether or not this is actually possible I would love to know! Very happy Nintendo released these despite the extremely limited availability.

I ordered a pack from Fnac on 26th around 18:30 CET time and I have not heard anything from Fnac yet.

It is so upsetting and scary Fnac is cancelling orders.

In new leaf you can only invite Sanrio villagers if you have their amiibo cards but I don’t know for NH. We need to wait and see.

If I see any preorders and news about Sanrio amiibo cards in Europe I will post here in this thread.

 

[InkFox]

You're scaring me with all your orders being cancelled. I pre-ordered one on the FNAC website too, to this day my order is still on (I live in France so maybe it counts towards it not being cancelled ? I dunno), but everytime I have a new email notification I'm afraid it's to tell me my order got cancelled. :'<
I don't understand why they would not print enough for everybody, this is so stupid. And if scalpers could stop being so freakin' greedy, it would give everyone a rest...

 

[Mu~]

Any idea where will they be sold in Spain?

Up until now the only place us in the EU could get the cards was through the French site Fnac.. but apparently some preorders from there are getting cancelled as we speak.

I wouldn't know anything about Spain specifically though... I don't think there is anywhere else in the EU/Europe where there is any chance of getting the cards. Really weird to be the case for a whole continent of you ask me..

But apparently in the USA the cards are limited to Target, which sucks equally. And in Australia the preorder has sold out as well.

You would think Nintendo would want to make money ;D

Edit: the UK apparently had a chance through their UK Nintendo store, but of I click that link in the opening post it doesn't work.. so maybe that one is not available anymore either.

Edit: do any of you know about other parts of the world?

Now I'm really hoping Fnac won't cancel my preorder.

 

[moonlights]

Kinda disappointed with how vague Nintendo are being, I'd really appreciate a pre-order so I don't have to stress getting on the website on the 26th to order them, in case it's laggy and whatnot.

There are people on eBay selling packs for over £100, and individual cards for up to £60, which is disgusting and I don't want to be in a situation where eBay scalpers are my only option yk. I think the only thing worse than Nintendo ignoring everyone is the people that will take advantage of the situation for their own financial gain. Like I don't understand how you can ask for that much in good conscience lol

Australia only had one game shop in the country that had the cards for pre order but it’s all sold out after one day

 

[KimvW]

So far my pre-order with Fnac has not been cancelled yet *fingers crossed*

I ordered one pack on Friday evening.

Nothing on their twitter and nothing on the Spanish site

So far, Nintendo's UK site is the only one that even has a listing for the cards, however it says sold out/unavailable. I've been checking it on and off, and I think it's the original 2016 listing. Don't know if it's been active since but might be worth keeping an eye on: here
(edit: i believe every Nintendo store in Europe ships from Germany so it shouldn't matter which site you buy from, if any others do start stocking them)

I believe each online store has a "contact us" page, might be worth shooting them a message to see if they'll be stocking the cards. And you're right, it seems like Nintendo don't want to make any money. At this point I'd say to start looking at etsy bootleggers; at least they don't skyrocket the prices like scalpers do.

Alternatively people with a modern android can use an app to make the game think you have the amiibo and do it for free.

I think you can also use your phone to make your own fake amiibo but I've not tried to confirm how.

So there are other morally gray routes available for those who are unable to get the cards

I'd check into where they were sold last time, I think it's only in the US that there's an exclusive deal with one retailer. I got mine off of Amazon Germany, and I know a major electronics retailer here has a listing for them that I assume is still left over. Otherwise, maybe check gaming news sites from your region.

 

[Xara]

pain i’m really hoping that there’ll be another restock soon. ;v;

I'm from Spain and as far as I know, only the company GAME has spoken up about it and said they would notify when the Sanrio packs would be available. There are also several FNACs in Spain so I'm not sure if they will sell them just like France. Amazon didn't say anything either, but I assumed they would sell these packs. I would first of all keep an eye on GAME, and hope they sell them physically too. (They replied to a fan in the Spanish collaboration announcement tweet.)

Today I went to my local store and asked them about it, but they told me they didn't know anything, they suggested me to keep an eye on Twitter.

 

[AkaneDeath]

I just like seeing people enjoy this game the way that I do, and it's evident that this is a pretty big deal to you. I'd hate to see you miss out because of your access or lack thereof to a physical store.

Oof. My heart. That’s so nice of you!

 

[Plainbluetees]

I’m going to have to have a family member ship me some cards, since there aren’t any targets where I live and Target doesn’t ship here. They are an animal crossing fan as well, so they’re going to camp at the target at 7:00 A.M. lol - hopefully they will be available there. It’s not like they’ve said they’ll be available in store, as a matter of fact they just said “they’ll be available 3/26” on Twitter. This makes me think they won’t have preorders, which is silly considering how popular the game is.
