I am so mad at target/nintendo/scalpers right now. I originally planned to leave early and pick up the cards on my way to work today but than the site said you could only buy them online and then pick them up. Ok fine. I was on my phone in the site before 9am. At 9am I put the cards in my cart and went through the buying process. I clicked place order and the site started glitching. it said order cant be placed cause store doesnt have item or method of pick up is wrong. what? I tried again same thing, i tried another store same thing. i called the nearest store and the guy says they have some behind the counter. WHAT? why did the website say online only if they had them in store? i would've gone on my way to work but by then it was too late! Why did nintendo only sell them through target and why so little stock? they knew lots of people wanted these things. And now the scalpers are gonna make a killing(they are selling on ebay for anywhere from $60 to $300 dollars! It almost seems like nintendo cares more about the scalpers than the actual fans who want the cards. This is such crap!

Yeah. What you're describing was our collective experience this morning. It was confusing, frustrating, and highly disconcerting. Being on the west coast, I wasn't competing with in-store sales (which shouldn't have been a thing anyhow), only Target's poorly prepared website. I was online right at 6a, they were orderable, but then I couldn't finalize, then they went away. After a couple minutes, they were available again, but it wouldn't finalize. I spent a good few minutes spamming the Buy Now button until it went through at 6:29a. I decided to try my luck a second time, and got a second order of 2 to go through at 6:36a. Now it's a matter of hosting a giveaway, which in and of itself seems like it's a win/lose situation.

I might just hold on to the other two as prizes for my students, who knows.

You were lucky. after the first error messages i tried taking out of the cart and it wouldnt let me put it back in. then they disappeared from the site altogether. i would've gone to that target right than if i couldve but i was at work.
 
Hey guys. Turns out I never got New Horizons, but I was going to get it next month when I get more money. To prepare, I bought Sanrio cards. However, when I looked at the back it said it was compatible with "New Leaf." I prefer my 3DS over my Switch, so if anyone can tell me how they are compatible with New Leaf and the difference between New Leaf and New Horizons with the Sanrio cards, that'd be appreciated. PM me. I'm never going to check here again.

EDIT: Actually, i'm waiting for a response on this board now as well. I really want Chai on ANY game.

just- wow
 
I don’t understand why Nintendo made them target exclusive and such a limited amount. Do they not realize all that does is help the scalpers? I mean you d think Nintendo would want to make the money themselves
 
Hey, I hate to be the burden here, but what's the difference between using a Sanrio amiibo card in New Leaf as opposed to New Horizons? Please answer in great detail PLEASE!
 
That's it? Cool!

Sorry, tried to quote above poster. But yeah, that's so cool. Thank you so much!
 
I didn't vote because I was just BARELY successful. I drove 170 miles round-trip to a store that hadn't sold out down to "no pickup/in-store only" numbers within the first two minutes. I had a pack in my cart at one store, sold out. Then at 8:30 the other nearest store put theirs online, got one in cart, sold out immediately.

Kept going through each store as my home store. I got to one that was an hour and a half away but I searched using it as my store and somehow actually got it and checked out. I was in shock!

I am so POed. It's the PRINCIPLE of it! My city, college town 120k ppl in county, did not get ANY.
I used to buy my shirts at Target. I am not going there for anything ever again. EVER!!! I will forever be outraged at this.

On the other hand, it actually turned into a wonderful day trip for me and a friend who rode along. The trees are budding and it was an amazing time for a drive. If it hadn't have been or if the store was in a part of the country I hate, forget it.

I am really, really sorry that hardly anyone could get one. My friend said I sounded crazed on the phone when I called to tell them about not getting it after it felt so close -- BUT IT WAS IN MY CART!!!!!

Gonna go and read other people's experiences from earlier!

You put in way more dedication than I have seen. I-
 
My sweet husband just got me a pack of the Sanrio cards!!! He just went to our local Target and got them there. I live in Tulsa Ok so if you live in Tulsa go to the Target at Tulsa Hills. He bought them this afternoon and they still had plenty of packs left. I am so HAPPY!
