...fantastic, my order went all the way through for pickup.
This should be a sigh of relief but in all honesty, having to go through my parents on this is almost just as stressful as managing to secure the order in the first place.
I checked Brickseek on their zipcode during my boring hour of spamming the 'place order' button and changed it to their area purely on that whim, but I'm not too excited about this scenario.
Yes I'm lucky for getting an order through but that was a silly move on my end.

Online only?

Seen on reddit.

oh i'm so gonna just rent a car and go to all the targets within 20 miles of my area to see if there are left over copies that I could salvage.

I have acquired the holy grail. At last I can close the Target tab on my computer after a whole month of watching the website! (I stopped checking last friday when they announced the date/time drop and confirmed there would be no preorders, but it still remained opened as a reminder.)

I CAN FINALLY SLEEP.

This whole thing was a farce. Luckily, my husband woke up with me at 5:55 am. I was using their app and he was using a desktop. He was able to navigate faster and was able to get one packet. He told me he learned his lesson when he was able to snag a PS5.

Went to a Target on the way to see if we could purchase them at the store, and that proved to be unsuccessful. We proceeded to the Target that had our confirmed pickup. Asked the lady how many packets they received and she would not specify. I asked how long Target would hold them and she said three days.

I guess the best solution at this time is to wait and see if people flake on a pickup.

Sorry to those who didn’t get it. If it wasn’t for my husband, I wouldn’t have them. I really wanted to mail some peeps on here the amiibo cards. I’m really sad about that.
Moving forward desktop works best!

Edit: grammatical errors (3 hours of sleep lol)

Well I’m back from the store, didn’t see any cards on the shelves or pegs.

I don’t know why Nintendo doesn’t want my money.

This late into the morning, there won’t be any. Definitely a lack of communication.

 

[Kate86]

Well, I lost my copy. I even went in store just to be sure and there were people lined up. Staff at the register just sold all the stock they had to people who walked in and nothing left for the online orders. Staff said they weren’t informed it was online only.

People managing Target are a bunch of idiots. How do you decide to make it online only because you’re interested in keeping them and customers “safe” and not inform them?

That is terrible.

any canadians order off amazon ca and have a late delivery date? i went to check my order status to see if it's shipping today but it says "Arriving 6 Apr - 14 May" i'm not in a rush to get them but just worried it might be cancelled later on..

Some people in this thread are acting ridiculously. Don’t call the managers of a store useless or ridiculous just because you couldn’t get your hands on a pack of cards. At the end of the day at least you have a chance, whilst in the UK we are still waiting (most of us patiently) for news before the end of this month. But some of the outrage and nonsense in this thread is way over the top. At the end of the day, it’s a pack of cards.

Should have shown the manager the ad I'm sure they have stocked in their store. Not that it would have changed anything, but that's what my passive aggressive self would have done.

Wait, you lost the copy you bought online?

I think the level of frustration is justified, and I'm normally an optimistic person. Target screwed the pooch on this one. Lack of communication, lack of adequate resources, lack of accountability. The ad has been available to view for well over a week. If the store manager isn't aware as to how a certain item is to be sold, then they should accept some culpability.

I think that perhaps the frustration should not be taken out on shop workers who let’s not forget are working ridiculously hard in the middle of a pandemic on the front-line, and more at Nintendo for choosing to make this process so ridiculous in forcing people to have to go in person to an exclusive retailer with such a limited number of packs.

i agree with this. the employees and workers aren't to blame, they probably had no communication on the matter and simply shelved the items like they do with others. real blame goes to nintendo and target executive that made the item so limited in the first place, then didn't effectively communicate to its workers :/

I agree. I’m already reading accounts on another site of store workers saying this being online only was not communicated to them. Some even said they had no idea this release was happening. It really isn’t the employees’ fault. It is those higher on the totem pole that messed this up.

I agree some of the frustration may be misdirected, as "normal" employees are simply doing what they were told. But it wasn't Nintendo that caused Target's site to act like it's Y2K. It wasn't Nintendo that created the in-store/curbside pickup only. It wasn't Nintendo that communicated their intentions to the US audience via colorful ad, then reneged on it.

Nintendo is NOT to blame here, Target is. There were plenty of us that played by the rules Target put forth, and it was Target that decided to bend/break/disobey those rules.

And yes, I was able to secure my packs, but that doesn't mean I can't stand up for the folks that didn't.

Yeah because they didn’t actually reserve it for online orders so anyone who walked in was able to buy it.

When I meant managers, I was referring to the higher ups who decided it was supposed to be online only in the interest of keeping their staff safe in stores. I agree that it’s not the fault of those in the store as they were clearly not informed.
