Finding AC Amiibo cards?

[Neechan]

I couldn't find this anywhere on the board, and dunno if this is the right place to ask DX

I have a quick question about these (i know what they are XD) where are people finding these cards? i've looked in the gaming areas of my Target and Walmart but no box was there, am i looking in the wrong place or store? (because, to be frank, I'm getting a little tired not finding them) or am i having just extremely bad luck...

I live in Canada in a smaller city so the traffic might not be as heavy as where you are from but I'm finding cards just fine. During release day and a few weeks after that it was hard to find cards but now it's fine. Both EB Games locations and Wal-Marts have them, as well as the one Toys R Us. I've been going to Toys R Us for the month of December in order to avoid Christmas shopping lines. xD

Otherwise, you could try to buy some packs from Amazon or Ebay, just watch the prices because some people like to try to rip others off and make more money. >_>

I've seen them in GameStop on the counter, Best Buy with the 3DS cases and accessories, and Walmart on the counter in the Electronics department. If you can't find them in a store, you can order them from Amazon.

they're not in boxes, but packets similar to ones you get trading cards in. most likely by counters since they're quite small.

ah, yeah, that's what i meant XD

I can see why you might have thought i meant boxes in the retro-spect of boxes you rip open, but i mean boxes you find those MLP blind-bags in.

I'll keep a look out then :3 cause i remember the pokemon trading craze xD

(I tend to use that term loosely, and it shows DX btw, i hope i'm not offending you, its really early in the morning for me)

I bought mine directly from Amazon when they were first released and for the regular price of $5.99 per pack. I won't pay more than they're supposed to cost.

When I tried to them them on amazon, they were 12 dollars a pack, and I knew that was way too expensive (and I just checked amazon, they're 5.99 there) so I waited, and honestly, I'm kind of glad I did.

I see quite a few at Wally World, I mean Wal-Mart. GameStop has some, but like others said, they were on a shelf behind the counter, and mine have some strict limits of something like 2 or 3 packs per customer- don't they realize they're blind packs, takes a LOT MORE??? I've seen more at Best Buy, but they're on shelves, sometimes opened with the cards removed. Toys R Us had the most, but mine had them behind glass- guess Best Buy told them someone stole theirs!

 

[starlightsong]

Hi! I live in Alabama and personally, I never see them at Walmart. I don't think Walmart even sells them here--on the other hand, my local Gamestop has tons of packs and no restrictions. I bought 15 at once the other day--I guess they aren't in such high demand here! So it depends on where you live but yeah, Gamestop is the best place for me. Best Buy also has them but they cost an extra dollar for some reason

Even here in NY the scalpers have stopped grabbing them, we see them regularly in Target etc. They hang them in the Amiibo section on one of the pegs. (Of course they didn't appear on shelves here until I had finished the set!!!)

I usually find mine at walmart, by the gaming section. Pretty much in most gaming stores I guess, it's usually in a stash cardboard holder, like the style you would see from other game cards. I kind if regret not buying as much as I could have, it would've been such a lovely animal crossing collection for my life time xD

 

[miyari]

They definitely shouldn't be too hard to find at the major stores as suggested! The cards look to be available on Amazon right now at the normal $5.99 rate (not sure if they're still limiting them).

Walmart Canada had them at the cash register in the beginning. Now they are hanging by the amiibos. Look for the amiibo AC board game figures. Check the week before Christmas and after and the cards were stocked. The saleperson said that sales have slowed down. A lot of player have enough that they can trade their extras now.

Ebgame owned by Gamestops has placed them the same way. At Best Buy they put a card by the amiibos and you have to take it to the front desk. People were stealing them.

I've noticed this as well!
I went to the cash and didn't see them so I assumed they were sold out but they were hanging by the Nintendo stuff the entire time. xP

I went to Target a few weeks ago and saw a whole display for Animal Crossing, but the card packs themselves were nowhere to be found. I flagged down an employee and he informed me that he "didn't think they were getting shipped those anymore," which sounded like a bogus explanation. He probably just wanted to provide me with an answer.

I could tell that this dude didn't really know what he was talking about, so I checked the display again around a week later and they'd restocked the entire thing with brand new packs.

I'm assuming they're just popular and sell out quick, but the Target here definitely stocks them.

Where I live, the only place I can find them is at GameStop, but you have to ask the cashier for it. Where I love they REALLY rip you off. They cost €10 for a pack of 3! I bought TWO packs of series 2 and I didn't get anyone interesting, either >.<

 

[BaileyEloise]

I'm from CA and I've seen them at a few Walmarts in the gaming section as well as GameStop. I would be careful on amazon because I've seen packs of 5 going for almost 25$ if not more. I've also heard that theyre sold at Best Buy if you want to check there as well.

 

[macskar.]

I live in Canada, my walmart has a bunch! But there idiots, thy have all of them in the gift card section yet the advertisement for it is in the game section

 

[LoLkittyMC]

Here in pa they are hung up individually like toys or amiibos in Walmart and target. IDK about toys r us, but I'm finding them more frequently then most amiibo.

I live in the middle of nowhere so Amazon.com will be my go to when i start collecting
