amiibo Card Collectors Album Delayed

[Jake]

The album was recently announced to be released October 2nd, however, the site has updated it to be "coming soon", with the added description of;
"Regrettably there has been a delay in the delivery of the Animal Crossing amiibo cards Collectors Album, which we're now looking to make available in limited quantities a few weeks later than the originally planned 2nd October launch date. Please stay tuned to @NintendoUK on Twitter for the latest updates."

Makes me wonder what the card situation will be like..

It didn't take me too long to give up on the album. LOL

For now, I decided to put my cards in a pretty little velvet lined box instead of an album.

Very pretty box So much treasure inside

I actually never thought of storing my cards somewhere.

 

[Jake]

I've been meaning to buy a regular album off ebay or something for a while now but I never got around to it.
I was gonna get this album but if it's called "Series 1" then I'd assume they'd also make a S2/3/4, and I don't even plan on collecting all the cards so it'd be a waste.

They're basically the same size as Pokemon cards, so any binder that fits them will fit the amiibo cards!

I never even knew it was being sold separate , does anyone know if it is still going to come with the bundle? It was the main reason for my preorder :/

*edit* never mind me, it's still scheduled to arrive with the pre orders

How do you know this?

I've pre ordered the N3DS XL bundle that should come with the album, I hope it still arrives. D:

I called Nintendo this morning, they said it was only for individual sale but it will still come with all pre-orders so that should confirm it

But I did email them as well, if they email back the same response I'll be posting it for anyone who may be concerned still. Even then though, I highly doubt they would just take it out the bundle and not even email those who prefer ordered it, and online it still shows its available in the package

Ah I see! Thanks a lot for the information! I hope they email you back as well.

I think you are confusing the mini album with the large binder.

This is the one that Nintendo was going to sell

I think the pre order one is similar to this one. If I can remember correctly at least.

*update*

After calling twice to confirm and e-mailing them, Nintendo UK said anyone who has pre-ordered a bundle with the collector album will definitely be getting it. They said it only affects individual sales of the collector album, which they weren't even sure if or how they were going to release it in the first place. So as long as you know it's in your bundle, it'll be arriving with the rest of your things!

The first link is the collector album {the large binder} that's already been confirmed to come with all pre-orders, which is also the one Nintendo mentioned being available on the 2nd, but never actually confirmed it or was 100% sure on. The mini album was released in Japan, but as far as I know it's not the one included with any UK pre orders {I couldn't tell if your link to the mini one was separate, or the one you were saying comes with pre orders so sorry if I misunderstood >.<}

Anyone know if there is any word on NA getting a collectors album? If I can't get it here I might import it from Japan.

Japan hasn't even gotten it yet (to my knowledge) they just have the mini one at the moment that holds 20 cards. At the moment it's just been Europe who's gotten the news of the collector album

The album is now on Amazon UK with a release date of October 23rd. Looks like it can be imported too, I just placed an order in case we never get anything in NA.

For anyone in the UK who preordered via Nintendo did you get an email today saying the 3DS Kit has been delayed until late October? I'm disappointed about this as it was one of the main reasons I preordered through them...

I got it to, not happy since an employee earlier said they had them OK to go, some people claim they didn't get it and there's has shipped but Nintendo claims no one is getting it until mid October or so (so I guess for now it's one persons word against another's ><)

My email said the album and ds kit though
