NA/USA Pre-Order Bonuses and New Merchandise

[Carson]

Hey guys! I know that as the console release today and the game release next Friday, there is supposed to be some new mechandise releasing and I have been trying to pull together a sum/list of all of these items that will be releasing in North America. Would love help figuring out what all these items are, as well as online listings verifying these or photos so we can keep track of the best place/method to purchase them.

Pre-Order Bonuses:

- GameStop: Double-Sided Poster (Release Date: 03/20​

- BestBuy: Tom Nook Electronic Sticker (Release Date: 03/20/2020)​

- Target: New Horizons Journal (Release Date: 03/20/2020)​

- Walmart: Tom Nook Tote Bag (Release Date: 03/20/2020)​

Merchandise:

- Target: Animal Crossing Plushies (Release Date: 03/13/2020)​

- Target: Animal Crossing Ankle/Crew Socks (Release Date: 03/13/2020)​

- BestBuy: Animal Crossing Bell Bag (Release Date: ?)​

This is all I have personally been able to keep up with. Are there any updates on other merchandise coming out or availability at other retailers? Is it possible to pre-order at any of these retailers to secure these bonuses in any way, or can we possibly buy them independently? Looking to compile as much information about all these items as I can.

Personally I want the journal and the crew socks, but I haven't stopped by Target to pre-order or check their inventory at all lately. I've seen pictures of the Journal flying around on Twitter so I wasn't sure if it was somehow purchase-able already or if we could get it along with the console or the other merchandise releasing today.

Walmart had a tote bag that had Tom Nook's face on it as a pre-order bonus.

Best Buy also has a bell bag actual little bag that they're selling (not a pre-order bonus).

i thought one store was offering a keychain as a pre-order bonus? i feel like it was best buy but maybe i’m wrong

Gamestop is selling preorder spots for the plushies as well! They do not provide pictures of the plushies so its kinda a ~mystery~

I don't know if it counts, but if you buy New Horizons from the Eshop "early", you get 7 days of Nintendo Online. It's worth about $0.40 LOL, but better than nothing.
