ACNH × Sanrio Crossover Discussion + Question Thread 💗

[Xara]

Ahh so sorry you missed out on them.
They really did ran out fast. Only lasted about 30 minutes or so. Hopefully they restock some more later on as well.

it’s all good! i’ll just have to keep an eye out for if they restock again - thank you for pinging me about it, though! <3

Are you signed up to the email notifications on amazon? That's what my friend did, might be worth a shot!

just signed up now! hopefully i’ll actually be awake if another restock happens.

What the heck? I’ve been checking the Canadian Amazon website every day since the thread was created. I didn’t have time to check today, but the day that I didn’t check is when it was available?

I hope it wasn’t the scalpers that got to them first because that’s just ridiculous...

If it's possible Paypal is probably the better solution or the equivalent on here of how much they're worth, whatever that ends up being.

Without getting too much off topic, the upcharge with eBay is because of the eyes it attracts, while Paypal does not offer a storefront for such things.
If selling and buying physical goods were more of a focus on here, I would perhaps think about Paypal sooner, but it's not and there aren't any Actual Exchange of Money feedback systems...

Luckily, it says “temporarily out of stock” on Amazon, meaning I think they’re going to try to get more stock to allow more preorders or more orders on release day. I recommend you select to be notified by email; it helped me find out when it was happening and I’m surprised other places don’t have an alert option. I think I missed a Best Buy preorder on Thursday night all because I didn’t check at the correct window.

i worried it would be a bloodbath for preorders. looks like i was right to worry. D:

Which is exactly why I worry about finding them in stores. Really looks like Target isn't going to put them up for pre-order. Odds are its going to be a fiasco on the same level as finding the regular amiibo cards which don't seem to be restocking at this point

I want Rilla so bad I have never had a gorilla villager!

I feel like we have higher chance of getting them if Target puts the cards as both online and in store orders instead of online only, especially in smaller towns/areas with locals that have very little to no interest in collecting trading cards. Honestly, so far, I can't exactly call this whole thing "bloodbath" yet. Bloodbath is like PS5 lol. They usually disappear within seconds of being put up, literally. At least the earlier pre order still lasted over 20mins.

How exactly do you select to be notified by e-mail? I don’t know how to do that through Amazon. I did add it to my Wish list, is that sufficient?

Saving it to your wish list will not notify you if/when it comes back in stock. You need to press this button (only shows while signed in):

Thank you! <3

Yeah, what @Vrisnem said! It's honestly such a small but important feature.

 

[Feunard]

Any news about preorders in Europe? There’s still nothing on Amazon. :/

It's the weekend so we are unlikely to hear anything new today.

Nintendo really disappoints me. I don't really care, as I don't have a huge desire to get these, but they really should be more transparent and reach out to their community instead of slobbering on the scalpers.

Don't blame Nintendo for Target's lack of communication, if you even want to call it that.

Nintendo never prints enough of their stuff, whether it's cards or games. This happened with Fire Emblem Awakening and Pikmin 3 and a few other games. I remember these the most because I wanted them at the time and couldn't justify buying the games at $150+

Yeah, the fact that they put out a trailer highlighting these cards then not releasing them on the scale that fits with that is pretty aggrevating.. like I imagine the poor casuals that have kids that saw the trailer and want them and then they cant get them for them because theyre not hanging out on a forum like a hawk several times a day. Its so dumb..

It's also messed up because this update will literally mean jack for most people because they won't or can't afford the scalped cards. They really should had done a physical and digital version of the Sanrio collection.

That's what I really don't get about all of this. Surely they know how many active users the game has from the update model itself (if not that then the island backup stuff) so why don't they print around that amount of cards? Maybe the license agreement with sanrio is expensive for them, but then why (presumably) renew it for NH?
