Guess I'm not sleeping on the 25th Does Target usually drop stuff in the middle of the night?

Edit: I'm guessing this isn't going to be at my local Target because it's not showing on the ad for my zip code.

 

[Nefarious]

Really hope one can just walk in for a pack despite what that ad says, I mean the stores here are open like normal, would be really stupid if you have to order online when you're still walking in the store to pick it up within 10 minutes anyways. I really don't want to make a Target account for just this one quick instance.

 

[KayDee]

Well that sucks. This just made it much harder to get cause now scalpers can just use bots to buy up stock instead of lining up in store and possibly be limited to one per person.

 

[Cosmic-chan]

It might be order pickup only? But how would that work? I'm not sure how legit the source is.

Edit: It's on the Target ad

Pick up only? That's even worst than just going into the store and buying. A least then I'd have a better chance. When I said I wanted online ordering I wanted to where I could have them shipped to me.

Why is Target even making this so difficult? You already have limited stock so just allow all options. Online, pick up and in store. Not that hard.

Some1 should design an app that lets you hire someone to go yo a target for you in case you can't when stuff like this happens

Sorry if this is too obvious, but make sure you are checking the ‘sneak peak’ in the weekly ad section, not main ad. (It is on page 18 for both of the 2 target closest to me)

I was checking the sneak peek ad, and mine is missing that whole 'Game on the go' page

I’m just sitting here as a confused European wondering why I thought Target was a supermarket all this time

 

[Junalt]

Out of stock now, removed (was for Amazon Italy).

This is getting ridiculous. I have so much hate for Nintendo right now. Why exclusive to only 1 retailer?? With no preorders, limited quantity, etc etc. It's bull! Other countries have multiple retailers, why does US only have Target! Ugh!

Also, drive up or pick up sounds more like, local only. If we order for delivery, items usually come from their warehouse but pickup only means items will just come from local store inventory. Might be able to just walk in store and pick one up without reserving ahead of time? What sucks is, if you get sniped so you go into store and can't get any cause all their inventory is already reserved for online orders....or if your local Target gets no stock

Well, with that recent news, this turned from good to bad really quick. I basically have no money so I can't even get the cards, and even if I could, I can't drive out to some Target to pick up them, as I don't have a car, either. Nintendo...why do you keep making mistakes like this with Amiibo like this?

What I really don't like is how they've made it much harder to get any of this without the cards, which are probably very hard to obtain! I can't get Etoile, the cute sheep, because apparently she won't move to other islands, literally requiring the card just to invite her. The furniture is a bit better since people could trade it with me, but... who would be willing to do that? If I can't get Etoile, the Little Twin Stars furniture and Etoile's poster would be a nice...consolation prize.

I totally forgot about the update so it was a nice surprise yesterday when my friend messaged me! I bought the cards a few years ago whilst playing NL so luckily I’ve been able to order the items I like c: (I’ve also linked my shop in my signature if anybody needs items!)

I would love to have Marty on my island - I had him in NL and he is just soo cute and matches my aesthetic to a T! Etoile is adorable too but that’s just a given!

All of the items are amazing and I’m particularly fond of the kerokerokeroppi set ♡ it’s just annoying that there’s a 5 item limit per day, v annoying for people who don’t TT

Any one know if target will limit how many you can order. I just want one pack. This is bad for anyone that can’t get to a target. I wonder if they will say when you can order. If not I will just stay up so I can order one.

so sorry! I thought you probably were, but hoped somehow it was a mistake and your target ad wasn’t missing them after all!

target does sell have groceries! So you are not totally wrong. They sell groceries, clothes, furniture, electronics, toys, books, medicine (they have a pharmacy)...pretty much everything! except apparently adequate amounts of amiibo cards to everyone who wants them...

 

[Plainbluetees]

Pickup- drive up only? As in picking up in store or curbside?

Nintendo just ruined my chances of getting them.

I don’t know when they’ll release the orders... it might be in the dead of night which is just lovely.

for better or worse since the ad doesn’t list any purchase limits, at most potentially maybe the individual stores could limit the number of packs purchased, though admittedly, since it says order pick up or drive up it seems you have to order online, so it sure how a limitation would be implemented. But I guess on the upside, people may be able to pick up some extras for friends in less target rich (haha...) areas

the ad information is not great. It seems strange that you can not order delivery, to me that unfortunately does imply the stock will be limited...this is also how switch purchases in my area last April-June were working. It is really bad for anyone who does not live near a target, does not have access to a car or has for any reason difficulty making purchases online... I’m really sorry guys

I know there are at least a few people on here who may be willing and able to try and grab a few extra packs to distribute to the community here. I don’t know if we could arrange something like that through like the amiibo post office for better transparency. Idk, I just hoped everyone who wanted a pack would be able to get one.

nintendo is apparently very not transparent about things (from anecdotal stories from a friend in the video game industry, Nintendo USA employees complain that sometimes they would not even find out about big announcements until the day of) so I am hoping, perhaps against all hope, that there will be restocking of these items and nintendo just isn’t telling anyone...but this isn’t something that feels like we can rely on it.

That's honestly kinda rad, I'd love to see shops that big here, the only ones we have are company only.

This would violate the rules of the amiibo Card Post Office - in fact running something like this publicly at all would violate a number of site rules. I could try proposing the idea to the site owner to see if we think it's safe to make an exception this one time however I'm not sure if it would be successful for the usual reasons we don't allow the sell/trade/etc of real world items.

yes I was afraid of that. And there are a lot of risks involved that I imagine would leave the site open to liability, which makes it probably a bad idea.

Don’t mean to cause trouble for you, just wishing I could help those who may not have the chance to get ahold of the cards

But yeah, if you need me to edit that out of my post or remove my post please do! It is 6 am here and my sleepy thoughts carried me perhaps beyond the bounds of what is prudent to write.

I just wish there was more information. I feel bad for people not close to a target. It seems even people who are close to one will have a hard time getting them. It is weird that you can’t have them delivered. Seems you will have to be checking at the right time in order to get a pack of cards. It would be nice if they do restock at some point so everyone that wants cards can get them even if they just have to wait a little longer.
