You can already purchase custom coins with the Sanrio data. I'm not a fan or supporter, but the data is already out in the wild.

im not sure I understand you, does this mean there will be other ways to get sanrio items like with out the amiibo card ?
Yes, by purchasing unauthorized, fan-made Amiibo cards/coins through eBay, Etsy, or other vendors that allow them.
Or make your own or use a phone app to emulate the cards.
Lots of ways other than the official cards.
Only one legal way however
Probably the best way to go about it. Nintendo has shown they have little qualms about going about anyone and everyone who crosses the line; this site would be no different. Best to leave said discussions if any to the proper places.
Yup, it has always been a rule and I agree
It’s unfortunate that not everyone will get the real cards, but regardless, it is illegal.Edited my previous post, just in case!
Do we think there will be another update at the end of April? I think there might be because the Nature Day Cool Globe will be available in Nook Shopping until April 22. Last year Nature “Day” started on April 23 and went to May 4. So if they plan to do that again, they’ll need to release another update to put it in since as far as I know, Nature “Day” isn’t in the game for 2021.
I could see them announcing something on the 14th of April (the 20th anniversary of AC?) Either that or they do one of those “happy anniversary AC!” videos like they did for the 15th anniversary.
At the same time I probably think the next update’s in late April.

Got the update...but I've been mostly playing 'Breath of the Wild' today.
Still...those extra pattern spots are going to come in handy in a big way. Just super bummed about this Sanrio situation. Nintendo could sell this as digital content on the eshop...they could even charge more. The physical pack of cards is $6.99? You could easily get people to pay $9.99 on the eshop. I know it comes down to Target having some Sanrio collaboration. But...it's terrible marketing, honestly.

Ooooooo, I'm sooo excited for the new updates, how exciting indeed. I've been inlove with the latest updates from swimming, to mario, to festival, to these ones. Glad i've been playing since release, I have a whole storage full of items from different collectable events, how cool is that. Also, with the new updates, it inspires me to terraform my island and make more space for themed corners and knik knacks. I've been surprisingly personally lucky with in-game items and villagers, now that I have all of my villagers (since last year) i'm looking to maybe switch one for a new islander via the nook miles tickets, spice the game up a little you know. These updates certainly help with all of that as i'm sure most of you will agree.

The thing is the cards are more so meant to be a collectors item. That's why they made so many and made them random in each pack. I don't think it's terrible marketing since the cards aren't really truly meant to be DLC. That's not how they started anyway.

Also why would people pay more for the digital version of the cards when the physical versions are cheaper and cute? I don't get that idea. The only thing that makes the digital version better is convenience and nothing more however, I don't see people paying more for just convince. People look for deals not to be ripped off.

You could keep the physical cards and offer the content digitally as well. The value of the cards as "collector's items" would remain completely unchanged by that. Point is, it's bad marketing to have add-on content that is limited to those who can obtain a physical item. Other amiibo stuff has always been pretty trivial. A skin for a game is hardy the same as furniture packs, IMO. Heck...I wouldn't even mind if they wanted to keep the characters themselves exclusive to the cards for that reason. I just think the furniture packs should be obtainable through more traditional methods.
Unlike the Mario items, Sanrio does not belong to Nintendo's umbrella company, much nonetheless Animal Crossing's IP team.
They don't get to hand these items out for free.
People need to realize that the items are utilizing IP they don't have rights to outside of a contract that must be followed to Sanrio's expectations.
Please stop whining and complaining about Nintendo when there are many ways to obtain these cards without paying scalpers ( utilize Google, I don't want to catch a warning for recommending other things, but it's very easy ), and realize Nintendo cannot do literally any of the stuff most of you are demanding/wanting them to do without going through Sanrio first.
Yeah, this is what I thought! I know everyone wants to point at Nintendo and think it's all on them, but these characters are representing SANRIO, not Nintendo. Therefore, it's really up to Sanrio's criteria. I totally get why people would be disappointed, but Nintendo may not have a say in how these are distributed. It's unfortunate, but that's how it is :/
I dont know 100% but i have read through this threat that pp are saying at the end of this month it should be here around the 23rd some pp are saying
