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

[Blueskyy]

i ordered the cards for target store pickup on tuesday morning and picked them up yesterday (wednesday evening). as long as the order is out of the 'processing' stage and it says 'ready for pickup', then the cards have been taken off the floor and have been reserved for you. they keep them in back room near the store pickup area in the store.

Thanks! My Sanrio pickup order was cancelled back in March so wahopong this scenario would be a bit different. I guess we will see since I got it in quickly and then it went back to limited stock.

I second this. I worried about the same thing.

I called my local target on this exact thing. I bought them early for in stock pickup Tuesday morning before they opened and then called them as soon as they opened. They said the orders than come in BEFORE they open are pulled from the shelves and reserved for you. I had them in a small bag tied up with a tag with my name on them.

That makes me feel better. I worried basically because I ordered a little after 6 am and this Target opens at 7 am. I guess there’s really no point in worrying.

I'm looking forward to getting these new amiibo cards! I don't have any previous ones but I'll definitely be getting these as the start of my new collection! May take some time for there to actually be some stock for them, but it'll be worth the wait!

Eh the cards I was able to get for order pickup were cancelled. I expected it so no big deal!

Can I ask why they were cancelled? Was it from Target?

Yes it was from target. The only reason that was stated was that they’re now out of stock. So maybe a few people bought them at once for pickup? No clue. It happened with the Sanrio cards as well. So, it isn’t a guarantee until it says you can pick it up.

update about my gamestop order: i had to contact fedex after days of the same “awaiting carrier pickup” status (after they were supposed to be delivered) and was told that gamestop never gave them to the carrier, so my cards were still in gamestop’s possesion i.e never shipped out.

so i talk w gamestop customer service and they basically say that the cards are out of stock, and that just because i was able to preorder them doesn’t mean they actually physically had the cards to send to me.

????
needless to say i am bummed, had to get a refund.

My local target had limited stock, but I wasn't able to run in before work. Was sold out by 8:45.

My 2nd online order was supposed to be delivered today but now it's showing tomorrow. I don't mind waiting the day, but Fridays my work schedule is less convenient for AC

I gave up on cards. I can't get jack crap ever and it upsets me more that I see youtubers with like 50 packs and people sell the cards for 30-100+ a piece

Glad I never hopped on the amiibo card trend (I do have the figures). Though it's been tempting.

My heart goes out to those who are desperately trying to get these cards for their collection though amidst all the darn skalpers.

I've been having a similar problem with Pokemon cards as of late as well. :/

Not even trying to gloat, but as my birthday was coming up and ive tried my best to see if the US has any stock and welp my luck is never good with sellouts; my BF lives in Australia and welp LOL he so far has managed to get me a whopping 30 each of 1-3/20 of 4 and 20 of 5 ;v; bless this man and his plans to try and complete my set Orz <3 I wish luck to all who still need to get ahold of them as someone had said for some reason EU/AU seem to just have more stock so lucky me haha? I am incredibly excited for my first amiibo ever :' )

Congrats on the haul! I hope you can complete your set ^^

Also, I'm pretty sure EU/AU have more in stock because each pack only contains 3 cards, VS NA packs which have 6 cards. In fact, I think NA packs are the only ones that have 6 cards per pack, at least I know that was the case for series 1-4 cards. If anyone knows if I'm incorrect though, please feel free to let me know. :0

Oh yep i'm aware they have 3 per pack so the sheer vast amount he's hauled should be more than enough chance haha :' ) <3 but tbh this is still a great way to get multiple packs as per USAs constant sellout lol. He also got me a legit sanrio set so im super excited! and ty : )

Somehow every store there aka EB Games etc. just had lots of extra stock and because he's such a regular she gave him 5 extra packs first round haha. He's just seemingly deadset to currently get me 50 per 1-4 and more of 5 aaaa I told him he didn't have to spend more and to send them as is but yep nope he's gonna try lol. it certainly would be nice atm to be in EU/AU for the large quantity I do agree :' )

I was almost tempted to order from Australia but, I dont think it would work. I'm so jealous. I don't get why the US can't get stock. I've been checking since the day of the drop and my state never gets anything. Pre orders were joke since they were virtually non existent for me.

My Best Buy order is STILL delayed in transit in a city 20 min away from me… it’s been that way going on 4 days. Does that mean it’s lost? This is so frustrating! Especially because Best Buy charged a lot for shipping.

Same. Was coming via UPS, was in transit, but no movement since 11/5. Yet the pack I managed to snag from Amazon on Tues is out for delivery today, a day earlier than initially reported (assuming it doesn’t get misdelivered, bc goodness knows that’s happened, too ).

Giving the Best Buy order until Monday, and then I will be contacting them is there’s no further movement. I hope things work out for anyone else that’s currently dealing with this.

Got my Amazon Packs. Couldn't be more disappointed.

Out of 12 cards, 8 were duplicates. Still no Sasha or Ione :/

I am in the US and couldn't catch a preorder no matter how hard I tried. I checked bestbuy,walmart,amazon.gamestop and target all the time. The preorder button came up on bestbuy twice but it still said none available. I tried to order from bestbuy canada but the site wouldn't let me. I had planned to go to walmart before work that day but I decided it wasn't worth getting up even earlier and going out of my way when there was a good chance they wouldn't have any(there was another walmart who later told me they never got any so I think I made the right call). The thing that really pushed me to that was seeing people selling all 48 fan made mini cards on amazon for $30. it made all the trying ive been doing to get real cards seem like a waste. I would like to know how all the youtubers manage to get their hands on this stuff though.
