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

[Aniko]

I went to two Gamestops and they didn't have any on shelves. Was I supposed to ask the employees for some because I didn't do that.

Same. When I went to Gamestop (Canada), they were not on shelves with other cards, so I asked the staff . They were keeping them in a drawer behind the counter.

Ooh sneaky, I should have done that.

My pack from Amazon finally says shipped and arrived at a town north of me. Says it should be here sometime tomorrow.

@Aniko hope you get your pack soon .

If I'm lucky, I will get it Monday. I just hope they didn't send it back.

Went to local target this morning. Found out they were suppose to get shipment 4 days ago for cards.. they never received them. This also happened to GameStop. Manager told me all of the gamestops on the peninsula didn’t receive their shipment.. what’s going on Nintendo?!

 

[Cosmic-chan]

Check your GameStops US peeps! I just scored 3 packs at mine. Their limit was 5, but I wanted to leave some for anyone like me who has been struggling to get any.

I've checked game stop since the day of release and I've seen nothing.

 

[PPUAlchemist]

Bummer to those who didn’t find them. My GameStop had 2 hanging on display behind the counter and the cashier was kind enough to tell us more were in back with a limit of 5 per person.

 

[CanuckChick]

Had some great news from amazon.ca, my order that was supposed to be ready around Nov.21-22 has been shipped already & supposed to arrive tomorrow!

I'm weak and ordered two more packs from Amazon.ca!

Says they'll be in stock on the 18th and delivered by the 22nd.

Did you also get the same message @ChaosKitten ?

I still think making your own cards is best

I was finally able to open the packs I got all together! I had managed to get 13 packs in total, and luckily I managed to pull all the villagers! ^^ Unfortunately only pulled 9/24 of the NPCs though. I was hoping for at least 10, and was hoping one of them would be Niko, but oh well kdskfdk. I have 4 more packs ordered, though the address I use is my parents place and I'm only back here for the weekend, so it'll be like 2 weeks before I get to open them. OTL

On the other hand I have so many duplicates that I really wish I didn't have to deal with rip. My amiibo card dupes just keep growing and growing it seems.

You could do amiibo trading with other forum users via the post office thread. You could probably complete the set that way much easier than buying packs at this point.

I've considered that multiple times actually, but I've held back just because I went through a spree of buying amiibo cards and doing some trades on other websites and almost none of them went well because unfortunately I like my cards to be in mint/near mint condition, and I had multiple bad trades/transactions. Almost none of my cards came in the condition that was promised despite taking numerous precautions. I was even told that my standards for mint condition were too high (which I don't understand because mint means mint?) and I just like, kind of gave up after a while. OTL

I guess it may sound stupid to some other people since I think most people are casual collectors, but those experiences basically shattered any trust I had with buying or trading, so I've come to just buying fresh packs instead.

You could sell the dupes in trading groups then have more money to buy new packs! And speaking of, do you have any SP dupes you’d be willing to sell I am desperately searching for Flick and Wardell (and Niko but I know you said you did not get him).

I definitely get that. However, I’ve done dozens of trades here and never had any issues with bends, tears, etc. The one time I ever tried it off of TBT and on another platform my card arrived bent, so I only trade on TBT. I collect so I’m also picky about that. People here care about their ratings and pack their cards well from my experience. If you ever give trading a go again, I’d recommend using this platform with users that have many positive feedback ratings

 

[Cosmic-chan]

Plz I'll buy people's dupes plz

 

[moonlights]

Opened two packs, got Sasha and Chabwick in one and Raymond and Judy in another! Really happy with those cards but I really wanted Shino and Ione, so now we wait until the Nintendo UK store have a restock, which I'm hoping will be soon.

 

[Blueskyy]

Just caught another Target pickup opportunity online. I put in 2 separate orders of 1 pack so we will see if either one go beyond processing and don’t get cancelled this time I suppose!

I did not! D: Fingers crossed they ship on Monday.

Edit: Got the email about 5 minutes ago saying the order shipped and will be in by the 17th. Woohoo!

 

[Blueskyy]

The Target 30 miles from me has them in stock, with another allowing pickup as well. I ordered a total of 8 packs between 3 stores, so fingers crossed at least 1-2 get past processing!

I have only traded here on TBT and I’ve never had a bad trade - knock on wood since my previous trades were years ago and I’m just now trading again. In my experience, TBT users are definitely very respectful of others and only send cards in the condition they want to receive. I would give it a chance.
