Going by NL, the items will be tradeable, you just won't be able to adopt the villagers without the cards.

I was replying to the person that said the items should be availible like the mario items without the cards.
In New Leaf you also had to pay to get the cards. I'm not saying anything about this being dlc because that's how it was originally. Same with the RV cards. You can also trade for them and it might be possible to visit and buy the stuff, but even back then I found it more convenient to own the cards rather then bother others to set up a trade.
I just hoped that Nintendo would had printed more of them this time around, but with all the online places becoming sold out almost immediately, that doesn't seem to be the case. I hope plenty of you here are able to secure them from Target if you hope to get them. I never had any desire to own them in NL, but there were times that I wanted a certain item from one of the Sanrio to decorate one of my rooms a certain way. It was just more convenient when I got the cards to boot up the game and get the item.
I'm not one of those 'what about me' people if that is what you're getting at. I am playing devil's advocate for those people who are excited, but will come to realization that they won't be able to get the cards legitimately without paying an insane amount of cash if this turns out to be like when the Sanrio collection was scalped in 2016.
If this time around Nintendo is able to print enough out and most people are able to secure them, that is great. I just don't see it happening with how every online place is becoming sold out. And I feel bad for the people who are excited for this content but will have the rug ripped out from underneath of them when they may come to the realization they can't get them.

The cards barely cost anything and it's the first thing you have "had" to pay for since the game came out a year ago. You cant put the console and switch on the list, that's just silly, of course you had to buy the game to play the game.
You hardly need unlimited cash. You are being so incredibly over dramatic if you think that. You need enough money to buy a McDonald's
For me it’s more about availability then price. The six dollars is not a bad price at all. If it costs around that for future DLC I wouldn’t mind. Are they going to limit who can buy them. I am going to try and get a pack of the cards online because I really want them, unfortunately I can’t go to the store that day to get them. The probability of me actually getting the cards is pretty low. I just wonder how they will go about releasing the DLC in the future and who will be able to get it.
Yeah im hopeful but not too optimistic about stock.
Although unlikely and not what they did in New leaf, I would really like the villagers to be able to move to other people's towns. Then the stock doesn't really matter too much.
Better yet let them be found on islands (yeah that will never happen
)

It would be great if you could move the villagers to other peoples islands. If you can and I somehow manage to get a pack I would definitely help people who wanted them. Yea getting them on mystery islands won’t happen but would be nice.Yeah im hopeful but not too optimistic about stock.

If I'm able to get multiple packs, I'll shoot you a message to arrange for something.

You're doing more than playing devil's advocate. You've put forth a position that assumes Nintendo hasn't printed enough of these, but we have no idea of knowing that until 3/26. Granted, a lot of people will be left out because they couldn't or didn't get to Target on time, or because of people buying more than they need or want (flippers), but most folks taking your position sound more like they're complaining than adding to the discussion.
If history repeats itself, sure, perhaps there's reason to complain, but also keep in mind that this new release is potentially serving two populations of people: NL-only players that are new to the game or missed these the first time, and NH-only players.

That’s so nice of you thank you. Still going to try and get one myself I appreciate the offer.
Occasionally I will search Twitter to see if there is any new information out there about this, and today there was a tweet by someone who was told their local Target would not be receiving the cards (source).
Obviously, this is just one tweet and one person's experience for now. It's possible the employee the person spoke to could have been misinformed. It's also possible that some Targets will not be getting the cards (there are 1800 Targets in the United States). A third possibility is this could be an online only release.
I would say everything is still on the table until Target confirms something. Target's Twitter account continues to tell people that ask that they have no further information (source).
Just something to keep in mind going forward if you are planning to go to the store the day of release. It might be a good idea to call ahead if you can, though I'm not sure how well employees will be briefed about this.

That’s just stupid. I’m sure Target paid Nintendo money to have it exclusive to their stores. If they’re going to do stuff like that, they better make sure all their stores get it.

I can see this. Nintendo may be waiting for fans to request paid DLC out of frustration with the card issue. Even I had said they could have done a digital version of the sanrio stuff for the people who want it and can't get the cards.
Not for me. I know some people here are ok with $60 games and doing additional for DLC and the Nintendo Online. I'm not. the amiibo cards i'm ok with because they are only a few bucks and apply to more than one game (if you had the past games or if they continue the amiibo into the future). DLC I could see being more and would only apply to one game... even if the DLC is repetitive content across multiple animal crossing games through time. Personally $60 games is a bit much for me. But I do get them sometimes if it is pokemon (which I decided to stop being into recently because I am unhappy about some stuff). With Animal crossing I was thinking about having to replace pokemon as they are both games that are expensive and long lasting.
I mean, if they did the DLC at a reasonable price I MAY be ok with it... I mean the Sanrio stuff for example, if they did digital for $6 then I'd be ok, but let's face it, they would charge more than that and they could more than likely have 10,000 little DLC fees and that would just annoy me. If I want that, then I would go to the awful mobile gaming and not bother with purchasing a console to begin with.
Other people may be fine with games costing $60 and that is ok. Honestly I almost always prefer indie games over nintendo games and they tend to be cheaper. Paid DLC for Animal Crossing is a no go for me. nintendo is on thin ice with me already with games and their console quality so...

Nintendo might have to keep up with the demand by producing a lot of cards. I genuinely hope that they make some...

I don't think you have anything to worry about regarding a ton of DLC fees; the most I can see is Nintendo maybe doing like four DLC packs, for small fees, with certain furniture series and maybe even villagers in each. The only time they've ever done a ton of little fees was with Smash Bros. and the Mii outfits, but those are different since they're skins for your Miis. I've always seen Nintendo's DLC packages as USUALLY being pretty fair, with examples such as Smash Bros. Challenger packs, Mario 8 Kart 8 DLC and BotW Expansion being some of the more reasonable ones in my opinion. If they do end up going the micro transaction route, then oof. That will suck.
We'll just have to see what the future holds. though

I’m pretty pumped for the Sanrio items and villagers. I really want Etoile and Chelsea back in my town.
Happy Monday! ☀
Hope your morning has gone better than mine! I just came out of a fairly gross meeting that has achieved a near impossible feat and put me off my lunch. Don't go into microbiology unless you've a strong stomach!
I'm expecting that we are going to see more information/preorders go live this week as we inch closer toward the release date.

Sorry to hear about your meeting, im sure your gut flora is sad about not getting lunch so you may be able to study a micro-bacterial riot soon maybe. :3
Regarding pre-orders the fact that the pack is still up on spelbutiken(sweden) makes me worried that they have no idea how many packs they are going to get and that they may have overbooked..
I hope we get more preorders opening up soon in other shops.
I called the Targets in my area and one of them told me they will have them in stock but weren't doing preorders for this item. The others said they didn't know yet/had no info at this time which I found weird because they're being released next week. So Idk if its just that one store or not but it looks like fcfs.
