Did they say anything about why? Is it because of stricter rules on gacha and similar things or something?
Nope, just says they're not selling them here. They're not gacha-like, anyway, we'd get the EU packs with all six cards, as well. I think it's only Japan that gets the random packs.

yeah they aren't specifically gacha, but I know that like loot boxes and similar small paid items have been under more scrutiny lately so I wondered if it was related to that.
It's weird how Nintendo is allergic to money...
 
I went to pick my online purchase copy up from Target and had no problems. I did notice a general notice on a piece of paper taped up at the customer service booth that customers were limited to two packs of ANY β€œtrading cards” including theseβ€” not sure if they are actually limiting all card sets or if it was just easier for their clerks to remember this one if they said they all were. I also noticed two very conspicuous empty pegs with the other Amiibos in the Nintendo section which means there very well could be a restock coming, but who knows!
 
I'm not sure if this will apply to countries outside of Japan. Around 2 days ago, I came across Japanese Nintendo store and they were accepting reservations again. It says the reservations will be delivered around the end of May (google translate) so, seems like Japan will be getting a 2nd wave? Today I checked and it's already sold out again though. So, I wonder if other countries will get the same treatment.
 
I wonder what's more of a debacle. This or the that ship that got stuck in Egypt's canal. Maybe they're both related and they have the remainder of the cards.
 
I’ve got a friend wondering about the situation in Germany, apparently Nintendo Germany have confirmed they aren’t restocking the cards in Germany, anyone got any information on this? Thanks.
 
Probably they'll restock on weekdays if i'm right because weekends can be worst since customers (and possibly scalpers) buy them, but not only that, deliveries don't come on weekends.

Just a Quick question: does the card pack comes with all cards?

If you go back to the previous page, I linked to a video (in German) with the confirmation. Basically, someone emailed support, and they were told that the entire DACH region won't be getting a reprint.

So long as it's not the Japanese pack, yes. The Japanese packs contain two random cards and one "seal" (basically just a normal collectible card, if I'm not mistaken), everyone else gets all six cards.

I've bought the Japanese pack; the "seal" is a sticker shaped like a trading card with one of the six designs later used for the posters in NH.
 
I bought some on etsy, nintendo sucks!
EDIT: Just bought them today and they already shipped them!

Maybe I can try to get some, but knowing this kind of situation, i have to get it when it's on stock and available to buy.

I hate to ask, but how much was it on etsy? since my guess it would be pretty much expensive if it was from a scalper.
 
If they restock they should offer preorders(this alone would've solved the problems). But also make them available in store without buying online so the bots can't buy them all up again. And honestly either skip Target altogether cause they clearly can't handle it or at least make them more widely available. Make this right Nintendo.
 
I believe there's a related article about restocking and my friend shared the info to me. Here's the article you guys may wanna read. So probably (or hopefully) this will solve our problems and this article will help you guys out.
I can hope they could do a restock as soon as Monday but I'm seriously doubtful about that for most regions. If anything, maybe later in April.
