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

WALMART is still open—managed to place two separate orders, and there’s still more it seems!

Thanks @N a t
Do you place 2 separate orders with one account and just place separately or do you have to use 2 different accounts? Asking for a friend, lol.
 
I'm literally in a zoom class meeting, watching this thread and refreshing the walmart page....lol
 
should i refresh 'view cart' or the general page for the amiibo cards?
i was able to get into the checkout page, but it was sold out TT

edit: when i was refreshing view cart, it kept saying '2 left' but now they're all gone 😭
I refreshed the product page for a bit and eventually the blue "pre-order" button came back again, and I was able to add them to my cart again and check out!

Thank you so much, N a t!
I was able to order 7 packs. My cats thank you too, as I filled up my cart with litter, food and treats to avoid shipping fees!
Were you able to place multiple orders for the amiibo cards using the same account/shipping address? you just had to buy them 2 at a time?

I think the "2 left" may have to do with the limit of two packs per purchase. The site also told me "2 left" but after I placed my order it was still in stock and many people were able to order. The site may be bugging due to traffic or it may actually be temporarily out again.

Two different ones—I asked my partner if I could set up a Walmart account under his name and card. If you have anyone who trusts you, I’d say ask them (family member, friend etc.)

Funnily enough, he then placed another (so second) order accidentally, and it went through initially. I’m expecting that to be canceled though.

Same thing for me. It said “2 left” both times I placed an order—and those orders were several minutes apart!
 
i just keep barely missing these >: (
besides there being 3 AU cards per pack, does anyone know whether the AU cards are diff from the NA ones?
might ask for a favor from my cousin who lives in aus bc i am getting frustrated lol

Here's Isabelle in every region, NA, EU/AUS, and JPN. It's notably the names and the date format between them all (unless someone's particular about the serial numbers, too)
(edit: the EU/AUS cards shouldn't be physically smaller IRL! This is not to size 😅)

I think Walmart may be different than Best Buy. I was able to place 6 separate orders (my husband placed 1) using the same card and address. I have not received anything but a fraud alert from my CC company, but other than, everything checks out on my Walmart purchase history. I even check my credit card and all of the transactions are there.

Anyone else purchase through Walmart that has a delivery date for November 10th? Seems like that is more accurate than Best Buy's promise to deliver by the 5th.

My order from Walmart says it'll arrive the 11th actually. Weird but I'll live.

Today I learned Isabelle is called Fuffi in Italy
 
Interesting, guess I'll have to keep my eye out for Wal-Mart. I felt lucky getting 3 from Best Buy, but people getting 14 from Wal-Mart puts 3 to shame!!! Wal-Mart is pretty open to scalpers and scams, so it doesn't surprise me. They let people order like 30 switches last year for a single name.

Oh no, you just condemned my poor boyfriend to at least a days worth of sad, sideways glances (he cancelled the duplicate order thinking it might cause problems)—to think I could’ve potentially had six packs! *sighs*

Interesting your date is the 10th—like @N a t mine is listed for the 11th. I don’t think it’ll be an issue either way though. I’m happy we got lucky enough to score some!

You have been cracking me up with your posts/replies in this thread. Thank you for being so witty throughout this process.
😂:LOL::giggle:

I thought it was kind of dodgy myself, but just kept rolling with it. At least we know what to expect when they drop again at Walmart. And of course, I keep everyone updated if there are any changes to my orders.

Don't really shop at Walmart, so we will see about the delivery. It's def better than the AU delivery time (my husband also bought me a 25 pack from ebay).

Yes! Happy everyone got their orders in and we can keep the information circulating, so others know how to check out fast and beat the bots for future drops!

I have a premonition that I’m going to miss all of the preorders. I can’t use my phone at work, and the preorders always come up at some random time while I’m working.(n) I’ll check stores on release day and if they don’t have it then I do have an Etsy account. :sneaky: Scalpers won’t get a cent from me.
 
It went back in stock for a split second at Walmart. I got one in the cart (said limit 1)..... and then sold out. GRRR

Limit 1? I wonder if they lowered the limit or if they actually only had one pack available to preorder???
