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

pinkfawn said:
As I said earlier, my friend put some on hold for me so I just walked to guest services and picked them up. However, these were my observations:
1) I got there at 7:45 and there was no one outside waiting. Now, we are getting a huge storm right now in FL so that may be why there wasn't anyone out there.
2) The lady ringing me up rang all 5 up with no problem. My store is the second busiest in the entire state, and we had no limit on how many you could buy, if that helps with guessing if there will be a limit.

Thank you for that information. I did not think to line up early. The Target around corner told my husband that they had 18 packs in stock. I am not sure if I should go with him to that store and then hit up another (could be gone at the other stores by the time we get there). Or if we should go separate stores. We did not check with any other Targets about how much they have in stock. I just know the one around the block has them. Do you think we should hit up separate stores or go together?

I would try and cover as much ground as possible. As I mentioned, my store is the second busiest in the state and it only got 36 packs total. I haven't seen anyone else on this thread mention they got more than 36 in stock at their local stores. If another Target is close, I would try that one while he or you go to the closer one as well, so separate stores. Depending on your time zone, if they haven't opened yet I would leave for the store asap to get there at opening if possible. You MAY have luck with someone putting them on hold for you if you call and ask, though it depends on how savvy the employees in tech are with high demand products if they'd be willing to do it for you. Technically they aren't supposed to but there's always a chance you'll talk to someone willing to help you out.
 
I was able to get 4 packs from my local target this morning, they said they had 72 packs in stock! The only dupes I got are Raymond, Megan, and Tiansheng. Now to wait for the arrival of my preorders!
 
Apparently my local Game store sold out within 15 minutes of the store being open!

They're still in stock online, still limited to one per person (but, I mean... with shipping, £8.98/$12 for two villager cards and one NPC card is a bit too steep for most, I imagine).
 
None of the Wal-marts (three in my town), Best Buy, or Gamestop received any in-store stock at all. The closest Target to me that at least received the cards in-store sold out 30 packs within 10 minutes, so I didn't get any there since I arrived half an hour late.

I'm traveling to a Target an hour away to get a single pack. They have four left with a limit of one per person, and luckily the guy on the phone held onto one for me. Hopefully they'll stay in stock so my bf can get one too.

It was absolutely bonkers here in my town, and I did not expect it to be. ;o;
 
I went to target right as it opened and asked the guy working there if they had the cards, he said that they would get them on Nov 9th. I visited other targets after this but they were all sold out. I went to BestBuy and they said they were only selling them online, but I ran into a girl who was at the first target and she informed me that the target did have the amiibo cards but the guy who we talked to was new and was still working out the systems. I called the target back and they said they had six cards left but it was 5 packs per customer. They sold out on my 5 minute drive there.

I wasn‘t able to preorder any either…so I guess it just wasn’t meant to be. 😩
 
I managed to get the last 2 packs at my closest target (50min drive…ugh), and they also had restocked Sanrio cards so I got a pack of those as well :) happy about that but upset about Nintendo and their usual amiibo stocking b.s. Obviously there is demand, I don’t understand why they can’t produce more
 
My Target had some in the back—they’re not putting them on the shelves for customers. They’re doing a limit of 2 per person until this afternoon, when the limit will be lifted.
 
I didn't check the stores in my area at all. I ordered quite a few packs from Walmart this morning, and they're supposed to be here next week. Honestly I don't mind waiting, as long as I can complete the whole set. Just hoping and praying that they all show up.
 
My target was pretty empty (luckily I live 5 min away) met one other guy looking for cards, (very friendly!) the target employee was really nice and checked how many she could sell me, and either decided on or it turned out to be 3!

my other cards are supposed to come today from Best Buy as well! 🥳
 
No walmarts in my city had the cards and I tried calling my local targets but no one wanted to pick up the phone. Bestbuy had the amiibo section of their store blocked off. Gonna keep trying and hope gamestop or target has them in store.
 
Currently waiting for support from Best Buy to contact me so I can find out why the heck my pre-order hasn't processed yet. I'm so far in queue, ugh.
