The situation in the UK is pretty frustrating, but it is seeming like weβll only be able to get them on launch day.. although, yet again, poor communication from Nintendo UK means we have no idea what to expect, and a lot of people I suspect will miss out.

I like the fact that they limit to 2 packs per person only at Target, but I keep wondering why can't we order it online? I don't live close to targets and I don't know if I could justify walking an hour or rent a car just to buy a pack of amiibo cards during work hours on a workday...

What makes it weird is the fact that you have to order them online to get them picked up and delivered to your car. Why can't I just have them delivered to my house?? It makes zero senseI like the fact that they limit to 2 packs per person only at Target, but I keep wondering why can't we order it online? I don't live close to targets and I don't know if I could justify walking an hour or rent a car just to buy a pack of amiibo cards during work hours on a workday...

In-store only does seem like an odd choice, but perhaps their supply is grossly limited.I like the fact that they limit to 2 packs per person only at Target, but I keep wondering why can't we order it online?

not saying I like them being in store pick up only, but target seems to do that with limited stock items, maybe because they donβt have them in the warehouses and the stores want to control their own stock. It was that way with switches last spring, when they had few in stock and they would sell out very quickly. Just for what it is worth, which may be very little...
again, not going to tell anyone not to be upset about how inconvenient and confusing this has all been, those complaints seem fair. I wish they were allowing delivery, as some people just donβt live close enough to target for store/curbside pick up to be feasible.

But someone could steal theoretically buy the whole box of cards in store. Why can't we just have them delivered to home? We already have to go online to set this stuff up so..

I get that it's to limit stock but again ordering online doesn't seem like it would be too hard. There can be a limit option button online. I just find the choice odd. We have to do online to set everything up so why would it be difficult to do like one more step?

They're not going to be available to purchase in-store. You have to use the app to buy them (limited to 2 per customer), then set it up for in-store or curbside pickup. I'm curious if I can place multiple orders, or if my account is limited to only 2. If that's the case, I'll have to order from my account and then my wife's.

I donβt think it is as much to limit the amount each person purchases as because their (targetβs) stock is limited.
I obviously donβt really know but I think shipping orders are handled differently by the target system than pickup orders which are processed by the staff at the specific store (I think probably shipping orders would be handled by fulfillment centers not primarily filled by individual stores, for example).
Sorry, I know it isnβt really a satisfactory answer, but fwiw this is just how I have observed they seem to handle limited or fast selling items in general.

Hmm..I guess I can understand why they took such route even if it doesn't fully make sense to me.

Another reason I think they have it as pickup only is theyβre also hoping that you buy something else in the store. Itβs such a cheap item that they think people wouldnβt want to waste gas to drive to a store without buying something else.

by no means do I want to stop you from being mad at target/ nintendo (thought not the individual store employees they are not in charge)! I think they could change all of the stuff that is frustrating people if they wanted to, I just think they have it pre set up and wonβt (they will sell all the cards so thatβs all they care about).
but yeah, please get mad at how it is set up as much as you want, I was trying to explain, but I donβt want to make you feel like your upset is not valid!

I mean the lack of info on stockists in the UK doesnβt even give us many places to start looking. Nintendo Shop Uk obviously, Game and Amazon are the only ones I can see as possibilities. So frustrating!

I'm wondering how evenly inventory will be distributed among the stores in the US. Do you think some Target stores will receive nothing?

I imagine it will go to those stores already selling both video game supplies and Animal Crossing merch. I believe there was speculation that if you looked up your local Target's specific ad, some didn't have the cards listed and it's assumed those are the ones not getting cards. But I don't think anyone knows anything for sure right now, just reasonable guessing.

Interesting. I mean, I see the banner about them on multiple store locations by me and the ads. I definitely donβt think we will know anything until 8 am Friday. I am lucky because Iβm in a metro area by a major city, so I have options. I just hope all of us can get a pack!

Can you just scan the cards and get the stuff or do you have to invite the villagers to your island?
