I just saw this on Twitter! So for everyone disappointed by the lack of characters, don’t lose hope yet!

Edit: Someone further down in the comments also mentioned that this is how their original Tweet was worded and quickly deleted.

I have mixed feelings about this because yay new characters, but also I can't imagine they'll offer Island Dad Wolfgang regardless.

Either way, I hope any others they have are better looking than these two!

Now a message on the waiting room saying limited supplies today does mean being in the waiting room doesn’t guarantee a purchase. It’s been hours now that man is going nowhere!

Uh-oh. Looks like I might be going on that shopping spree elsewhere unless I luck out, because it's... not looking good for me right now.

Man, I woke up two hours early after having trouble getting to sleep (due to undeserved excitement) for this crap.

I'm not holding my breath, but in finally says I have less than an hour wait.
It says more than an hour again, wth?
Less than an hour again, this wait estimater is whack.

my sister waited in the (UK) queue for two hours and then they wouldn't let her place an order -- kept insisting her card details were wrong when they weren't. then when she switched to paypal, they gave her a second error message saying she had to wait and check her connection or some bogus. (connection was totally fine.) now she's been errored out (presumably because time was up) and has to rejoin the queue. yikes.

Heads up - I think they've just sold out of Tom Nook in the UK (both versions). Isabelle is available.

Edit: N/m, just the site being weird.

Edit 2: Or maybe he is out of stock... The site seems to be getting overloaded, I guess.

Well the pricing is questionable. I mean who would pay that much for a plushie? Also only 2 plushies? I mean I thought there would be more than just Tom Nook and Isabelle. Well this is going to disappoint people who were expecting villager plushies and other NPCs, but there is hope they can do it in the future when the time comes. They look pretty good, but then again the price is questionable.

Uh-oh it says the line is paused.

Update: " We are nearing the end of our event and our virtual waiting room is closed. There will be no further shoppers released beyond the waiting room. If you weren’t able to purchase the Animal Crossing™: New Horizons collection today, don't worry! We will have the collection back in stock soon."

after all those hours in line, i was 10 minutes away when it paused. it's fine. i'll just go sob in a corner somewhere. no biggie.

Yeah I got this too, the wording is kind of confusing but I guess this means that I waited in line for 3 hrs for nothing?

Yeah, I agree that wording is awful. I haven't actually closed the queue because of it, even though I don't actually expect I will gain anything from it.

some people over on twitter were pointing out that when the buildabear x pokemon collection first released, it started with just pikachu and slowly gained more characters over time. i'm betting it will be the same with this one. guess we'll see in the summer when they start releasing in stores EYY

Everyone who wasted their time in line should be given priority for the next event, although I highly doubt this will happen.

We can start a sadass club.

 

[heaven.]

i like isabelle and tom nook well enough, but not to the point where i want a plush of them. i hope the rumours that they'll introduce other characters down the line are true and that there'll be a character i'm interested in purchasing available at some point. i hope there will be more outfits + accessories available down the line too (i want to dress up my my melody build a bear in some animal crossing gear).

 

[JessieOfSeacowBay]

Well, I finally just got kicked out of the queue page and redirected to the Animal Crossing page where I can enjoy looking at their sold out product.

Yeah, are they gonna let us put Raymond in a maid outfit? Lol

 

[.: Meri :.]

Welp, so much for that. ;; Ordered myself the Little Buddy Tom Nook and Kicks plushies to soothe my pain.

 

[MapleSilver]

This is actually good news because if they're sold out this early, I fully expect them to make more than just these two characters. This was probably them trying to see how much demand there really was for Animal Crossing merchandise, and clearly there is a lot of demand.

It’s a little disappointing that it’s only Tom Nook and Isabelle, I should have known lol. Does anyone know how much they were sold for at build a bear? They seemed to be priced around $130 on eBay each which is insane.

They were $51. Sad that it seems a lot of them went to scalpers.

 

[JemAC]

I'm not surprised the they chose to make Tom Nook and Isabelle but I was really hoping for some others characters, in particular Celeste or Pascal for the NPCs or a number of villagers, even if it was just the new ones introduced in NH or the Sanrio ones to tie into the rerelease. I don't have any interest in spending money on the two in the initial release so I'll just hope that the suggestion that more characters will be released in the future works out and then I might consider purchasing one.

$51 USD plus tax and shipping. I'm a little surprised to hear they're available on eBay, I would have assumed such a strict procedure would have mostly prevented scalping. Maybe they were listings made by over confident people who hadn't actually made the purchase yet?
