That was my post, I think. And yeah, the initial release of the AC amiibo line sold so poorly that it was almost single handedly to blame for crashing the amiibo market at the time. So yeah it figures they'd understock these. Even when the Sanrios were first released back in 2017 for EU and JP regions they sold at a steady rate, compared to what we're seeing now. They were in stock for some days to a couple weeks before selling out eventually back in 2017. As much as I hate to say it, knowing Nintendo, I wouldn't count on a restock of these. I could be wrong, and I sincerely hope that I am, so everyone can get a pack. But nintendo seems hyper allergic to repeating past mistakes like over printing cards, even when theres clearly a market to do so.

I'm glad you saw this! Having only come on board since New Horizons, I thought it was strange Nintendo wasn't still producing the cards, so your post was really helpful in providing context for the situation.

I agree that it's probably better not to count on a restock at this point, but here's to hoping. It does seem like we are sort of in uncharted territory with the popularity of the series. It makes me wonder if Nintendo will reshape their thinking around the series at some point and make AC a bigger priority (akin to Mario/Pokemon), or if they will continue to see it as being just the tier below.
 
Even having it in my wishlist it doesn't show up as available to buy.
Yeah, I've just checked again and I actually do have it in my wishlist (it didn't show up before), but it just says out of stock. I can click into the listing now though, but no option to buy.
 
I feel very lucky, my pack finally processed and I recently picked it up. πŸ₯³

Hopefully Target will restock them soon for those of you who missed out! 🀞
 
Imagine if Sherb, Dom, Cyd, Raymond, Megan, Audie, Judy, and Reneigh were amiibo-locked villagers in the first place. 😳

I haven’t gone to check the Target 20 minutes away from me but I have to assume they sold out of the Sanrio amiibo cards too...

Apparently Nintendo chat claims they never went up for sale yet people say they bought them. 🀷

That's interesting. People have posted screenshots on Twitter and said their banks have taken payment, with the dispatch date set to 29th March. So people are wondering whether they'll drop properly later this evening, or whether they'll drop on Monday.
 
I'm confused..I looked up the amiibos in different ways and now they don't even show up in the search.
 
So people are having sucess later in the day??
I can honestly say that when I picked up mine I decided to check and see if there were any on the shelves and the entire Nintendo display was picked clean of everything. So probably not worth getting your hopes up at this point

And considering I'm in okie dokie Oklahoma I highly doubt my store even got much stock in the first place. This update is by far the worst. I much rather endure bunny day. At least I don't need amiibos to enjoy it.

@tajikey I hate to be a bother but, were you able to get any cards πŸ˜…
 
Another online agent from the UK store said that if you managed to place your order during the short time they were live, it should still be fulfilled! So at least someone is acknowledging that they did go live!

Reading this hurts. I get everyone can do what they want with their cards but the fact people are crying and couldn't even get them and they just tossed theirs just bugs me πŸ˜…

So many disappointed Twitter post. Wow this really hasn't been a good day for many people. Especially those who work up early. This disappointed me more than when I woke up to no Christmas. At least then I knew I wasn't getting anything. Wow. I hope this gets extended by a day or we get a restock or something..
 
That was unreal. It shouldn’t take smashing the buy button over and over again to buy something. I wasn’t able to put in an order at 6:00 am but could at 6:30. What?

I hope it’s there when I go to pick up.

I hope Tajikey gets your pack so that you can be happy β™‘
 
I had them in my cart at 9am and it seems like they were already sold out in every store near me in less than 30 secs :( I wish Nintendo would just mass produce them to flood the market because I’m tired of bots and scalpers getting these new release items.

I guess I will try to trade for the items I want on here, RIP my TBT.
 
Oh my gosh! Could you please post a link? As I didn't have them in my wishlist before the listing went down!

Edit: suppose the actual listing doesn't exist if they've been pulled from the website...

Hi, sorry for replying late. It was really weird, I refreshed my wishlist and it gave me the option to add to my basket so I did and I managed to order it, and then a few minutes after it showed out of stock again. I have a feeling putting it up was unintentional and my order will be cancelled, but I'll keep u updated.
