Thankfully my husband managed to preorder me a couple of packs. I'm gonna see if my sis and I can go on a little card hunting adventure on the day they drop, provided they get an in-store release. I managed to get like 4 Sanrio packs from my local Target when those dropped, so I think that might be my best bet.

Guest, you're invited to help build our new TBT time capsule! It contains three parts, with some of its elements planned to open in 2029 and others not until the distant future of 2034. Get started in 2024 Community Time Capsule: Blueprints.
PSA: The new series 5 amiibo cards pre-order have started!!!
- Thread starter CanuckChick
- Start date
Just a heads up but if you still want the cards you may wanna check best buy US. Problem is the item keeps showing its up for preorder and then immediately goes out of stock a few seconds later. No update on Amazon nor Target yet and Walmart has yet to restock from what I've seen.

Mrrrroooooow! T-Treasure...
Been checking best buy constantly and only saw them in stock once and then when checking out they were out. :/

been checking nintendo, currys, argos, game, smyths, amazon. still no drops for the UK
Best Buy seems to be very broken from what I can tell. Every time the "Pre-Order" button has shown up (about twice in the past hour+ for me), it also tells me it's not available for either pickup or shipping, and then I always look like a fool trying to check out 2 seconds later.....
So, are we having a carrot dangled in our faces when those show up, or is it just the split-second reaction time of the bots keeping a regular human from being able to purchase any?

I really think it's bots. Normal people don't have the time or energy to constantly check for availability. I was shocked to see the pre order button up honestly. Althought it is really weird how random it isBest Buy seems to be very broken from what I can tell.

Oh, yeah, I don't doubt it's bots, if there's actual stock available when those buttons show up and not a brief site glitch.
I'm just finding it oddly amusing that I can pre-order them when the button shows up, and then...can't ship it, can't pick it up.
What then, do they want me to teleport inside Best Buy's website to obtain them? Go to Best Buy HQ?
Another thing, the holiday return policy is amusing me. I doubt there's going to be much returning happening, since it's either a scalper/reseller or an actual fan picking these up.
...I've been on that page too long....

Also it said there are no preorders left for shipping but we'll let u know when yours will be available. Why put that on there only to say not available right after? just weird
Don't forget the classic "Sorry about that! You still might be able to get it if you check nearby stores for availability."
*checks nearby stores*
NO, NOT AVAILABLE IN STORE. GO BACK TO SHIPPING.
edit: whoops, posted too soon

It’s hilarious to me that after putting off assignments and responsibilities all day in favor of obsessively refreshing the pages, the pre-orders opened up in the exact half hour I sat down to do some work.
Like NOPE, you must be punished for actually wanting a life. This is your life now. Don’t stop. Refresh

Yup , if there is none available stop letting me put them in my cart every once in awhile. Think I will stop refreshing Best Buy for tonight. Getting tired from an early day anyways. Good luck hopefully more people can get some cards.

part of me thinks there is some site gltiching going on too. it's such random times that it goes up. and zumhaus said it was up twice in like an hour. so they put it up,run out of stock and suddenly restock in less than an hour? doesnt sound right to me. but like you i will keep refreshing until i go to bed. shame i have to work tomorrow lol

I’ve been wondering the same. It does seem very, very random. I almost called in to ask earlier, but you just know that the person you’d get has no clue what you’re talking about.

Yeah, more of a quiet day, The Best Buy thing seems to be a glitch but no one’s quite sure. You’re best bet is to put your credit card info in and keep refreshing that, I know that some people have been able to get them from there.
