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

[ACJedi]

I keep trying Target but it always says out of stock. I guess I keep missing it. Was going to try for two more packs to try for Ione.

I got on around 6:30 am EST and my default target store said they had 8 in stock and none available for shipping. I expect they won’t fill the store order for 4 before customers come into the store and get them. That’s why you all get orders cancelled. It means the pickup order fillers didn’t take your cards off the peg or behind the counter before customers on foot visited the store and took them away before the picker pulled them for your order.

I then changed to another Target store in my area for my default store and the app showed limited stock at that store but the “shipping” option button was red. I was able to place an order to ship to me instead. It’s weird that changing the store made that button turn red but you probably need to try that early in the morning maybe if you find a store with limited stock that doesn’t have a pickup option unlocks the ability to order from target.com for shipping instead.

Yea I have tried the few stores by me around 7 and all said not in stock and not available for delivery. Tried on the app and website and both say shipping is not available. Will keep trying .

I was able to get one more pack from Target today after checking online. I honestly did not expect this to be so frustrating.

 

[SurgeonOfMean]

I got a pack from Amazon yesterday. It won't arrive for another week though.

 

[ACJedi]

Surprised, but my in-store pickup order this morning for 4 packs at Target was picked before foot traffic took them; mine are ready for pickup! Hopefully soon I can back up off the orders and finish the series. I wish older series were being printed and available and at retail too,

I did too today and from the Target closest to me. Just one pack but still!

 

[Plainbluetees]

I was also able to get a single pack after ordering on the app. Only one. But it’s better than nothing!

I have not lucked out with anymore packs yet. It's funny but I have had wretched insomnia for years, waking up at 2 or 3 am constantly. But just in the last few months I have started sleeping through until 5 am. And now it would really help if I could be waking up at 2 am to check my Target app (I'm West Coast so 2am my time seems to be when it all starts happening).

I went to my Target about 8 hours after they got them in stock and they were all sold out (they had two hangers for them too). I don't live in a huge town, and the regular 1-4 series amiibos were in stock for like 2-3 weeks after they came out, so my guess is a few scalpers came in and cleared out the whole inventory.

 

[Blueskyy]

Not sure if this is for every area, but Target is giving me the shipping option right now. There’s a $35 dollar minimum though so I’m not doing it. Hoping some people can get cards!

Sadly not my nearest options. My closest Target says limited stock, but I have no way to get there today so I’m not holding my breath that I’ll be able to get anything by tomorrow or Friday. Lol

That’s how mine is as well. I had the option to pick some up earlier but I talked myself out of it. At this point with trades arriving, I just need 12 NPC cards and it isn’t really worth it to buy a blind pack.

Just add 4 packs of cards and this preorder; then cancel the item after your cards ship to get the order minimum and free shipping: https://www.target.com/p/funko-pop--marvel--eternals---sersi--target-exclusive-/-/A-79661881
I do it all the time. Target lets you micromanage orders to cancel only what you want from an order so you can cancel the Pop and not be charged for it.

I actually read this from you the other day when you (or someone) posted this advice. I totally forgot! However, I really shouldn’t be ordering another 4 packs

Yeah it was me! LOL
I'm the same way. I have 14 outstanding packs waiting to ship from a couple places. I saw the cards earlier up again at Target this morning and was going to order more but I need to stop though. LOL. I just need 9 more SP cards and hopefully will have them from the orders. What I really need bad are S1-4 cards, but seems Nintendo isn't producing them anymore. The sales in September at Target must have been a one-off thing?

The target I went to is in a small town too. The employee said that somebody came in and bought two, and then somebody else came in and bought all of them. Every. Single. One. However, he managed to find one single pack for me in the back (the website had said Limited Stock), so god knows.

 

[LumiMoonPlays]

I just got 1 pack ordered from Target as a pick up. Expecting it will be cancelled but still hoping. It showed buy in store only then literally 2 minutes later pick up became an option . So strange!
I have one more SP that I desperately want after managing to trade for the other 3 I really wanted. I originally wanted a whole set but I have given up on that dream, lol.

 

[LumiMoonPlays]

Yep my Target pick up was just cancelled! Store hasn’t even opened yet! Argh!!! This is the most frustrating thing.

It means someone was able to order as well and for whatever reason an employee picked their order before yours; more than likely. It's annoying I know.

 

[Blueskyy]

I’m not sure what th plans are for 1-4. I have a ton of those (have way more than I need) and have gotten a few more even recently for series 5 villagers. So see if your duplicate series 5 villagers can help you get some 1-4 cards. It may seem like everyone on here has them already but I’ve found plenty of people still searching for them.
