Were you successful in buying a pack of Sanrio amiibo cards from Target today (03/26)? 🇺🇸

Really hoping for a restock. It's one thing to miss out because you overslept or forgot... but to miss out due to technical issues and misinformation is really frustrating. Would have gone in person if I knew.

I also hope people don't buy from scalpers. It only encourages them to keep doing the same to make a quick buck. Scalping (buying out a product for the sole purpose of selling above retail) should be illegal, imo. It's getting out of hand.

I checked the Ebay sold listings for Sanrio Amiibos. It was ridiculous. Tons of tons of packs sold for 50 dollars, which is the current consensus on the cost of these cards.
 
I had the one I wanted a while ago, I had it before the restock; I got a Japanese pack when they dropped for ACNL. {I only wanted Toby, because I love Keroppi and the items made for him, so I was excited that I was able to get him because the Japanese packs only come with 2 out of the 6}.

When I saw they were being restocked, I almost automatically gave up the idea of getting my hands on the full set officially, with all the scalping and nonsense going on with anything gaming related lately.

I wish all of those who haven't been able to get access to official cards yet some luck in doing so.
 
Sadly I wasn't able to purchase the Sanrio Amiibo card pack or have any success stories like many people that I read on here, Twitter, YouTube, and elsewhere did with trying to spam the checkout button, changing stores, and or even picking it up just like some people did on Twitter. Unfortunately, I could only go to one location today and that was the one near my work and the guy told me they all sold out when asked.

Oh, and to those who managed to snag the cards just in time or got really lucky: congratulations on doing so! Will add that to anybody here as well as everywhere else who had gotten them to give to their family, friends, and or those who couldn't get them and or giving them for giveaways for the AC fandom/community, you're awesome and props to you! :D

It's upsetting that Target didn't organize and or handle this whole thing better. There's bound to be confusion to with how stores were giving them away to how the website acting up and whatnot. However, I do feel bad for the employees who do have to deal with so many angry customers though especially the ones that misplaced their anger. It's also not surprising yet very disappointing to see the scalpers putting them online and knowing there will be people who'll buy from them.

Saw many of that as well but also noticed that one person had 80, another had 100, and one even 200! It's ridiculous! Seriously hope that nobody buys from them especially out of desperation.
 
I managed to put an order in after spamming the place order button off and on for 25 minutes yesterday morning, and an hour later I got the ready for pick up notice. But I was out of town and couldn't pick it up right away, so hopefully it'll really be there waiting for me when I go in later today.
 
I just hope they stock them in the UK soon~
Same. 😞 I’m thinking a release on Monday is likely, but of course that’s just speculation at this point. I’ve been checking constantly, I’m just worried they’ll go live when I’m not checking or I’m at work!

I don't like being negative on this front but I'd temper your expectations. Like I've said prior Nintendo encompasses a minimal mindset business wise. They'd rather produce less and risk not having enough than making too much along with having surplus. This makes said cards prime targets for scalpers and harder to get a hold of in general. I hope you get them, but I'd expect you know what you're getting into. I'd prepare as best you can if you want them.

Thank you. I completely agree. If I’m not checking almost constantly I could easily miss them. At this point I’m 99% sure I won’t be able to get them along with many others.

A guy on youtube called switchforce posted a video about a possible rerelease from target. He doesn't know for sure but he feels the info id reliable that the cards will be rereleased April 28th. If that's true why does it take a whole month to get more stock?

If there's a rerelease it won't change anything. It's just another date for scalpers to show up and take them again. Nintendo should put their foot down and make the content DLC in the EShop or release them in large enough numbers it burns the resellers/scalpers heavily. It's clear going through distributors like Target isn't working.

I heard some people thinking there may be a rerelease this Monday. I think a rerelease for this upcoming Monday is extremely unlikely unless it’s in regions that didn’t get the first batch. I think something like end of April may be more likely. We will see. It’ll still be a mess to get them regardless, but hopefully they’ll have more.

i don't think monday will happen either. i have spoke to target and nintendo and neither of them has a date right now
 
Not sure if it's been posted yet, but for the few people I've seen in the DACH region looking for the cards, it's been confirmed we won't get a reprint. The video title only mentions Germany, but the email from Nintendo Support shown says none of us will get it.

Did they say anything about why? Is it because of stricter rules on gacha and similar things or something?
