PSA: Series1-5 Amiibo cards seem to be coming back in stock at Target!

[Tiffany]

Trying to find these things is ridiculous! I keep checking target,bestbuy.gamestop and walmart with no luck. Walmart only has 3rd party listings, bestbuy has said out of stock since pre orders were up,no listing for any cards on gamestop(but they do have some cool ac merch) and target has the listing but can't buy online and no stores have them in stock. I'm not sure I trust their site to be accurate on that though. I still believe nintendo is working with the scalpers(or hiring their own bot makers more likely). Nintendo sells the cards for 5-6 bucks a pack in stores but the scalpers are getting easily 4x times that amount for them. No one is going to pay that much to buy them from stores but many will pay that to scalpers when they have no other options. I can't believe nintendo would be ok with them making all that money off their product while they make so little. So they have two choices. Either flood the market with them which would make them easily accessible to fans and thus put the scalpers out of business or keep with the limited amount and let the scalpers grab them up and make huge profits with them. Seems obvious to me which path they chose.

GameStop shows s1 listing for me but can’t order as it’s OOS for pickup, shipping, or same day.

Target has had s5 up and in stock for shipping so I have made (2) separate orders of (4) each which say will deliver Tuesday this week.

I have just gotten back into collecting from the initial hype during HHD and I don’t have many s1-s4 cards so I have been tempted by scalpers. I bought (1) pack of each s2, 3, 4 for $8.5/ea this weekend in person and thought that was bad until I saw online the crazy extortionist scalper prices!!! I’m trying to be patient here and not desperate because I don’t want my collection to end up costing 2-3x as much as it should.
I could purchase some singles here and there to finish off sets but I also think it’s fun to open packs for the experience/surprise.

Still not available within 50 miles of me, and I'm pretty annoyed. I didn't even want them very much at first, but after they completely disappeared I need more cards.

maybe i need to check target website more often, everytime i look it says shipping not available(same with the app). which one are you using?

My target has some series 5 . Trying to decide if I should buy some and take the chance for the three villagers I am still missing.

The specials are really hard to get but I think the villagers are not worth another few packs. You can get the individual ones you are missing on eBay for around $2 usd for any Villager cards you are missing!

I checked eBay and found some thanks for suggesting eBay. Now ordered the 3

I went to my local GameStop Canada recently and I was floored when for the first time, I actually saw Series 1 through 5 in-person. Was able to buy three Series 4 packs, and I finally pulled both Fang and an Isabelle SP card

 

[Aniko]

Amazon.ca just cancelled my order of 10 days ago and the cards are suddenly no longer available on their site.
They said the carrier returned it because they couldn't delivery it, but I have doubts, they come every week to my house, plus on the carrier website, they just say "Shipping label created" but they never confirmed they picked it up. Either they lost it or there was no package to begin with. I'm so disappointed and suspicious...

On Bestbuy the shipping is more expensive and we can't order more than 3, not that I really want more (because of all the dupes) but there is nothing else I want either.

I could try La Source but someone here said their 5 packs were all dupes or expect to see them at Gamestop....

I think I will just let it go for today, not a good day and I'm already in a bad mood. I wish I had knew sooner and ordered it elsewhere with other series. I will let that to karma and go eat my chili sin carne

 

[pocky]

My Target online said that they didnt have it at my local store. But I went and they had them all in stock. I bought two of each pack + a Sanrio pack

Sort of late to this, but I ordered 8 packs of series 4 and 2 packs of series 2 a few weeks ago from Best Buy. Was hoping for Dotty and Fang (my two main priorities) as well as Whitney and Beau. I had them delivered to my parents place and just got to open them today and I'm honestly super bummed that I didn't get any of the four I was hoping for, not to mention I got a bunch of duplicates and most of the new cards I got were villagers I don't care about. I'm pretty upset about Dotty since she's been my favourite villager for about 5-6 years now and I'm amazed I don't have her card yet sdkfdk. Fang is also very dear to me since he stole my heart in New Horizons. :') Out of my haul I'd say Stitches and Zucker were the best, however I personally don't care for them. Gacha sucks big time LOL. I'm in Canada, and it seems I missed out on ordering from The Source and Amazon. If anyone sees any series 4 back in stock at any time I'd really appreciate a ping/PM bc I always seem to be too late OTL

oof, i’m sorry you didn’t get any of the villagers you were hoping for, along with getting a bunch of duplicates. not getting the one/s you want sucks, especially when you get a bunch of duplicates that should have been cards you actually wanted. gacha can definitely suck sometimes lol. i’ll keep an eye out for series 4 restocks for you, though! i’m in canada as well.

For sure, like it kind of only hit me a few hours later but I was getting kind of teary eyed and I was like ksefkdfk these are just cards why am I so emotionally invested Tysm tho! It's nice to see other ppl from Canada bc we all have to go through the struggle of not having Target available LMAO

 

[LadyBoozer]

Last Saturday I found a few packs of S5 at one of my Target stores, went back to get the rest but they were gone. Decided to check a different Target in my area and they've had S1-5 and Sanrio all week. I went overboard. Was kind of embarrassed since they had to unlock the case each time I came in. I kept saying they were for my kids lol... my oldest has used them though so it's kinda true.

 

[MadisonBristol]

Somebody said the local Target got more. I immediately went and was told that they just sold them all.

Luckily I went to the flea market yesterday (where I was told about Target) and got Mabel's card and a Resetti figure. It was their last card, but they also had a Kapp'n figure and another Resetti.

The Target near me had all of the series 1-5 and Sanrio, all jam-packed on the hooks. They might be gone now, but I picked up a few packs of series 5 the other day. Happened to see them by chance, since I was there doing some errands after work.

 

[Imaginetheday]

I went to my Target today and they had 3 packs of the series 5 left. I went ahead and bought them (my first series 5 cards!) and got a couple of series 3 and 4 as well. I haven't opened them yet. I'm making myself wait 'til I get some stuff done.

Will Target continue to stock them? Or is this a one-time thing?

 

[MadisonBristol]

My Target finally had them today! They had stacks of every series besides 1. So I got one of each, and 2 packs of series 3. They limited it to one of each series per customer, but my sister bought another series 3 for me. I really hope they remain in stock consistently. I'm considering trying to collect as many as I can.

 

[Mr_Keroppi]

Still all of my Targets have nothing BUT I did get lucky and see Series 5 for shipping on Target.com and I could order 4. I hope it does not get cancelled like every time I order from Target. I wished there was series 1 - 4 though as I have every card EXCEPT Petri and 16 SP cards. Maybe I can get her and some new SP's!!!

 

[Tiffany]

Everytime I have looked online they are not available online or in my local stores. I looked tonight and they are finally available! But wait........It's 5.99 shipping(even for one pack) and oh yeah my order has to be a minimum of $35 to ship it. Why??????? This is such crap! They are showing available for pick up but I have too many things to do and no time to go to target for this. smh
