PSA: The new series 5 amiibo cards pre-order have started!!!

Fyi the price on walmart has gone up(yet they are still out of stock). It was $4.20. I just checked it it had 5.99 under the 4.20 but the 5.99 was scratched out and it says 8.40. Looking more and more like I'll be buying from etsy
I checked and mine still says 4.20 . That they are sold out glad I got my two.

I tried Best Buy on and off yesterday and sometimes they would let me add them to my cart and then say they are out of stock when I would try and buy 2 packs.
 
Why does this have to be so challenging?

I lucked out on the Sanrio cards - I got the last one at that Target.

I wish we could just buy them from Nintendo, or have a company actually tell us that they’d have them, or just have them printed en masse and sell them at one store with plenty to go around for anyone. At this point I’ll probably just go island hopping for the villagers I want, especially because I’m not a collector, and I just want a few from every pack.

I really wish they weren’t so hard to get. Walmart says I should get my two packs on the 11th . I would gladly help anyone if I get cards of villagers people want.
 
Preorders also available at Gamemania in the Netherlands! For EUR per package (half the price of Nedgame)

Fnac France also has preorders available, they also ship to the Netherlands, so they might also ship to other countries!

Today seems like a much slower day for the US.

I caught BestBuy open for a brief second earlier this morning, but couldn’t make it through the checkout process. Other than that nothing after hours of refreshing every few minutes.

Same here, I had them in my cart but as soon as I tried to checkout it said they were sold out and took them out of my cart.

Much slower day. Been checking too!

All tabs open for each retailer ready to go! Bot mode ;)
Refresh, Repeat...
 
I’ll definitely be sharing here as soon as I’ve managed to place an order. It’ll probably look something like this: “WALMART” or “BB” (that’s BestBuy!)

It’s weird that it allowed me to keep them in my cart—it still acts as though there’s three in there, so I’m leaving them for now just to see what happens.

Good, that's an easy check out!

Yea I wish they had let me keep them in my cart, will keep checking every once in awhile.

Who knows, maybe it’ll confuse the system and make it so I miss my chance. Could be a blessing or a curse lol

Or Nintendo can do preorders way ahead of time and not set a limit. To me, this seems like the most logical approach a company could take if they are really that worried about printing too many. And it is kinda the point of pre-orders, I think, is to get a general idea of demand.
I just simply will never understand the point of pre-orders if a company is going to limit how many can be made total.

Another option for Nintendo, maybe sell a digital pack of villagers through their eshop, though not ideal, at least people aren't blocked from their favorite villager just becaues Nintendo refuses to do a pre-order even that isn't limited by a number. Plus it wouldn't cost Nintendo any production cost selling a digital pack. Maybe it could be connected to your Nintendo account so it could somehow be transferred to other future digital AC games.

This is one of my frustrations with Nintendo lately, it is almost like they are handing stuff over to scalpers. I just know, Nintendo lately has been losing my money because of frustrations I have been having with them for a while. And I am sure I am not the only one. So many people are willing to purchase amiibos.

I have been saying the most logical, efficient and modern option is to make them digital, plus they would not break and are more secure and easy to transport and more environmentally friendly. The best part is that it is still doable, you just have to scan all your cards to your switch an it would make a virtual card

This would be perfect for me. I enjoy the cards and trading with the community, but all I really want are one or two villagers. Don’t tell Nintendo, but I’d pay $5 a villager just to have them on my Island (that’s not really a fair price everything considered, but it sure beats this grueling process and would still be cheaper for me in the end).

I mean, probably gonna be paying that price to hunt down a specific card anyways lol

Well, maybe we will luck out in the future and maybe there will be something built in game that will be like a VIP pass or request you can use to send for a villager you have met before. Like if you met them at a campsite before or something you can have their contact info and send for them later if you want them.. and just have like an address book of villagers. This too would help solve the problem. Amiibos already acquired could possibly still be used if a player has them, and Nintendo can move away from amiibo for AC.

edit, or it can just be a purchasable DLC like thing, special feature, to add to the base game.. .which would probably appeal to Nintendo more.
