Now on Amazon Canada, there's only one offer available and it's for $150 CAD

If all else fails, I've got one more pack unspoken for. I will diamond hand these 6 cards until I know yours are safely in your hands.

Aw thank you so much! I got mine through a pre-order and it never cancelled, so I assume it's okay? Might just take long

I called one of the local Targets because I curious to see if it was really a one and done deal. The lady told me they're expecting restocks on Monday! This was the same store that gave me the heads up that Targets wouldn't be doing preorders! Idk if its just a few select stores or nation wide, but there's hope!

I heard some states like Alaska and Hawaii did not get cards. Someone said one city in Alaska did, but many would have their shipments next week. So it could just be regional. I have no clue.

Well I really appreciate it! (Amazon will lose my respect though if they drop me after almost a month )

I tried but the Target cards sold out in like a minute. I lost a minute resetting my Target password and missed out. It's ridiculous how few were available. I have some fan made cards on the way from an Etsy seller but I would've liked to have an official collectible set.

I'm beginning to think nintendo is scamming everyone. Seriously there is little profit for them by making them limited edition and exclusive to target so why do it? I wouldn't be surprised if they are paying the people who are scalping them. They'd make a lot more money that way. No one will spend $50 or more for those cards in a store but they will if they are sold out everywhere and have no other way to get them.

I was able to walk in at opening at 8am with only 2 other people in front of me to buy them. They were making sure that only 2 were distributed per Household (not per person).

When I came in for my shift I was told our store had sold out by 10:30am. Our district got 72 cards in every store except for one (that's 9 stores out of 10 within the 30 mile radius). As of right now only 3 those stores still show them in stock with the numbers getting lower only by 1 or 2 per hour. Either those counts are wrong or people have yet to show up to pick up their orders.

This reminds me of the Nuka-cola jones soda promo where if you bought the game fallout 4 you get a free Nuka-cola quantum jones soda. The problem with that was that the online orders would let you buy them without limits and without buying the game. They literally took all four cases that we had in front of the people that were in line to buy the game. Within that people accusing the employees of stashing them. 2 weeks later I was able to walk into a separate target and casually buy one because they had a restock. I am hoping that's the case with these but I'm not holding my breath.

the sanrio collaboration cards are supposedly in the next target ad this Sunday. Due to what happened though I don't know if they're going to change that or not.

I’m so annoyed. I tried to place a pickup order even though that’s a huge pain, but I had to work today so I couldn’t keep checking to see if I could get an order through. If all of this was to prevent scalping why did it still happen and why did so many people still not manage to get even one pack? I really hope they rerelease it.

 

[Skyfall]

It was disheartening to hear how it was all over the place. Some people walked in and got it, some stores were letting people have more then 2, and the site was super confusing this morning, that's for sure. In stock. Not in stock. It's in your cart. Nope, now it's saved in cart. If I wasn't checking on here, I wouldn't have known to keep smashing the buy button like a lunatic, so thanks everyone for that.

I've seen that (I'm in the US but was looking international preorders earlier) It's insane that these are so limited that scalpers think people will pay that much. And honestly someone will and more power to them, the allure of limited release is so strong alas it is not me (and a majority of people lbr) who can afford that so guess we'll just enjoy our basic adopted, island hopped villagers

Forever salty at Nintendo for the way they handle amiibo sales...

Yea it really was confusing.I kept having to put the cards back in my cart. I also wouldn’t have know to keep trying if not for people here.

 

[The Pennifer]

Oooo did you manage to get a pre-order here in BC? I missed out myself. I hope you get an update soon from amazon.

No ... I didn’t get a pre-order option but I got a promise of email notification when I can order but I’m not really believing in it LOL

That's a pretty interesting theory...

 

[The Pennifer]

Ughhhhhh I hate that!!!!! Let me know if u want some of the stuff Pen! At least I have my Japanese ones I can order with!

Thanks I will definitely keep you in mind, Hon ... I purchased a complete set of each of the new Sanrio furniture and clothing items and have already decorated some rooms, but I can hardly wait to get the little villagers in person

 

[neoqueenserenity]

Hoping for a restock was working when they dropped and couldn't place an order. I just got back from hitting up the store and they had no cards inside either. I even overheard another girl asking an employee about them and he said they sold out in minutes in store?????? I was really confused and bitter that we were told we could only purchase online via drive up or pick up woulda had my husband go pick up a pack this morning otherwise

i was at work too but i went outside just before 9 to order but a lot of us were getting errors and couldnt order online anyway. when icalled the store they said they had some behind the counter. i was so mad because i originally planned to go to the store before work but the website so no in store purchases so i didnt. it seems everywhere sold out immediately. and now they are on ebay for insane amounts.

In the end, my brother gave up ahead of time and didn't go to Target.
He probably wouldn't have found them anyway...

 

[HappyTails]

I'm in the US but I could care less about those cards, so I didn't even attempt to buy them. I even forgot they were being sold until I saw it on Twitter, and I was like 'huh, that's nice.' But other than that, I just didn't care.

To me, if I have to race other people to get something and not being able to just buy it on my own time at my own leisure, then I don't even bother. To me, personally, it's not worth it.

I just looked on Target's site and the cards have a 1.7 star rating. I guess people are pissed because they weren't able to buy them. But not surprising that people are angry. Nintendo and Target knew how many people want those cards and they intentionally put out a limited supply at one store exclusively. That's pretty messed up if you ask me. However judging by the poll on here, more people were able to get them than not. That's good news and I hope you guys enjoy your cards. And to the people who weren't able to get them, I'm sorry you guys missed out. Hopefully Nintendo and Target decides to release some more sets so you guys are able to get a them as well.

I know i wanted one, but i don't have ways to get one of my own during this pandemic. My friend said he checked 2 nearest target stores for the pack and they were sold out fast so if we had to guess, it could be the scalpers behind this problem. I mean yeah, that was the only source of the problem. They said it suppose to limit 2 packs per 1 customer and i might have figured that scalpers are the problem.
