Nah ebay is criminal! Dont even bother there, takes the joy of the game away, crazy really
Again, we do not really know how scarce or not scarce these will be. The Sanrio cards had several factors working towards their initial scarcity that are just not present with this rollout. If things look dire the week of the 5th, then sure, start worrying, but I think we are going to see a lot of opportunities to order these soon

So gross. They don’t even have the cards yet and are already preying on people’s pockets ;ェ; I’d buy knock-offs before giving those vultures a single penny.
I'm so mad that the animal crossing amiibo cards are still only at BestBuy in Canada, and 1 pack per person. I ordered one pack but I'd like to be able to order moreOnly 1 is so little
same!! i’m grateful that i was actually able to snag a pack, and i understand why a limit was put in place (it doesn’t seem to be helping, though lol), but i definitely would’ve liked to get 3-4 more packs. here’s hoping that other places will start to carry them as we get closer to release day and that we’ll be able to get more packs.

Yeah exactly! I wish the limit was just a little higher at least. Hoping more become available!!same!! i’m grateful that i was actually able to snag a pack, and i understand why a limit was put in place (it doesn’t seem to be helping, though lol), but i definitely would’ve liked to get 3-4 more packs. here’s hoping that other places will start to carry them as we get closer to release day and that we’ll be able to get more packs.
I might be wrong about this, but from my understanding all the cards are in either English or Japanese - the EU versions have more alternate names than the NA versions to account for other languages (I’m not sure what the languages are, apologies) but there are some differences in card appearance as well. Here is a pic of a EU card next to a North American card:
Luna is European, and Tortimer is North American. As you can see they are both in English but have slight differences in font/alternate names.
As for trading, I know that when I was trading for series 1-4 some people wanted only EU or only NA versions of cards for continuity in their collection, even though both cards are in English and functionally the same (personally I only wanted NA cards, as most of my cards are NA and I live in the US myself). Some people don’t care either way though. Just something to think about if you are planning on trading!
It's crazy ! Those cards are out of stock everywhere online and well ebay sellers being ebay sellers if you know what I mean, I think I will pass.
I'll count on Etsy sellers to make homemade and cheap ones.

Thanks for taking the time to write that all up, I really appreciate it. It’s kind of like I was expecting, and that’s fine. I’m not a collector and could care less about the version, but I do hope to trade cards for Shino and Tiansheng if I don’t get them myself. Here’s just hoping that there’ll be enough people wanting the EU versions on TBT.
For sure, I know there were a lot of people who wanted to trade EU specifically so I don't think you should have any problem trading those cards if you plan to do so here on the forum! And I'm sure there are others who don't necessarily care what version/language they get as well, as long as they get the villager they want.

Actually that's not a bad deal (if you have money to spare and impatient with preorder limits) considering the prices one pack fetches on ebay now. That is 19 packs of 6 counts each, which means you will get 116 cards If I am guessing correctly..That's like $6 a card....and free can do best offer too...
EDIT:
Bloops, they changed it to 13 packs now with price of 500...lol ...with the price of one pack fetching high prices...no wonder they are breaking it up..Thats still okay deal with 78 cards at 500 dollars. thats still around 6 per card

Mrrrroooooow! T-Treasure...
i just went to order them and they’re out of stock :/
Thank you for the information! Sadly, I'm not able to buy anything from Amazon, so therefore I have to hope for the other shops in Germany like Saturn, Media Markt etc. (maybe GameStop too if they would finally update their website again).
on Amazon!!Nice to see however that Germany has at least one pre-order offer available already.

I feel like we need a sad/frustrated react for this thread alone lol
But maybe @Insulaire is right, and the situation will be a lot better than it seems right now. Let’s stay hopeful and continue supporting each other! ♥

I hope this release goes better than the sanrio card release but so far I'm highly doubting it. Why are preorders going up on random sites at random times? Why not let people know in advance? I said it last time and I still believe that nintendo is working with the scalpers. Nothing else makes sense. Why else would they release so few of the sanrio cards and make it public knowledge knowing that the scalpers would grab them up and gouge the prices? It looks to me like that is happening again. With the sanrio cards I originally planned to go to target on my way to work but then they said it was online only so I didn't. So of course I wasn't able to get them online cause the site kept throwing errors only to find out later that they did in fact have them in the stores. Now the cards are randomly popping up on retailer websites and selling out before most people even know they are available. I really hope I'm wrong and there is a better plan/more cards available but it aint looking good so far. Congrats to all of you who've been able to preorder them. i have a feeling I will end up going to etsy for the fan made ones again. smh

The one piece of good news about all of this is I feared that these cards would be limited to Target for the US, like Sanrio. I'm glad that places like Best Buy and Walmart (presumably Gamestop too) are getting these cards. Hopefully they will be more available after November 5th for those willing to be patient.
I definitely don’t think Nintendo is working with scalpers, that would completely undermine their own profits lol but I do understand your frustration. I’m not sure if them announcing an official time for preorders to go live would be better or worse for people’s chances. That might be even better for the scalpers…. but it’s bad for us trying to get them too. I feel like they just need to make the cards more available overall so there would be no reason for people to buy them all up and price gouge
