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

[_Rainy_]

The box I preordered a month ago is going to be here soon, but I forgot to order penny sleeves and top loaders. I probably won’t be opening my box until they get here. This is going to be torture

 

[Aniko]

I saw some on the Toys R Us website for pick up only

 

[LumiMoonPlays]

@Fey I just sent a second email to the Australian store. I'll admit I was pretty pissed and not very polite. I told them they were being shady and that they need to update me on the status of my order now.

 

[EmmaFrost]

I haven't been able to find a single pack in store. It's so sad lol

 

[Matt0106]

I bought one last pack on Sunday, and finally, FINALLY, I got Ione all on my own!

 

[Blueskyy]

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?

I’m not sure what the 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.

I've put together three complete series 5 villager-only sets and traded two away today for only S2 and S1 cards. I'm trying to focus on S2 since I could only find a single packet. What S5 villagers are looking for still? Would love some more older cards. I need a LOT - edited to remove exhaustive list

I have a trading thread I run in the post office section. All that I need is there . I don’t want to spam up this section with all of that.

Was just able to order some off the Target website, 4 packs.

 

[ACJedi]

Has anyone else noticed Target has removed the product pages for the earlier series 1-4? That would seem to indicate that they are not getting any more.

I regret cancelling these packs but at the time one of them was showing for $24.99

 

[Sweetley]

I planned originally to buy some packs, but all the shops in my area either sort of failed to get enough cards at the release date and are now sold out or they never got them for whatever reasons. That one shop where I pre-ordered two packs somehow messed up many orders including mine and informed me way too late about it. Gonna try one day now to get at least the cards of the villagers I want the most via eBay or so. Kinda disappointed about it but at least the new villagers aren't amiibo only so it's not a big problem to get them for me after all.

@Fey I just sent a second email to the Australian store. I'll admit I was pretty pissed and not very polite. I told them they were being shady and that they need to update me on the status of my order now.

I received notifications and a personal email saying my order has been refunded—apparently they didn’t receive enough stock. No money back in my partners’ account yet, but at least they responded!

I’d like to think us asking repeatedly helped push them to finally react.

What's 'The Australian store'? I ordered a box from this place and it hasn't shipped yet. Was wondering if we are talking about the same retailer?

Yes! I just got that message too! I am a little sad not to get the cards but relieved they refunded my money. I do think our email inquiries made them realize they need to act.

Yes that is the store! Did you do the 25 pack pre-order thing with them? They said they didn’t get enough stock and have no ETA on when more will come in. I think they might not be issuing refunds unless you contact them. I sent a rather strongly worded message yesterday stating I felt they were being shady taking my money and not responding to my earlier messages and not offering any kind of info on the status of my order.

Thank you! I just managed to place a 4 pack order. I have never gotten the ship option before and have it actually reach the submit-thanks-for-your-order part. Are they also often cancelled later? Or do they usually work once you managed to get the order placed? I got that Funko pop thing preorder to cancel
later too, thanks for that tip!
I had also noticed the series 1-4 links disappearing. I had them saved to periodically check. I am very sad that it might mean there won’t be more stock anytime soon.

 

[xWENDYx]

Target sent a notification at 4am today ... at 5:30am I tried to order and they were out of stock.

I tried to order from Target today at 5am and they were out of stock. I think it depends on location. The ones by me don’t seem to be restocking them,

 

[LumiMoonPlays]

I just managed to order 4 more packs to ship from Target! Keep checking the app! It seems to intermittently become available again. I ordered 4 earlier and the 4 again just now. I have no idea if they will cancel one? Or both? How does Target handle multiple orders of this item?

 

[CanuckChick]

Welp, I don't think I'm getting the replacement cards from amazon.ca after all lol. At least I got a $5 credit out of it but I think I'm done with trying to grab more cards. Perhaps some will pop up in the future on kijiji or hopefully will be re-stocked in stores or online, just like they did with the Sanrio and the 1-4 series.

Oh no! I suspected it was the same place. What email did you write to? I want to request a refund then too.

Fantastic! I have never had any Target order with these cards cancelled yet. I've been able to order 32 packs from them (it took 20 packs to get my first Audie card which was insane!). Since I can't get the earlier series I am trying to get as many as these to assemble 'villager trade packs' and hope others can do 1:1 trades for that with the older cards I need. Additionally once I can finish off the series 5 SP cards I intend to take the dupe SP cards and use them as trades for the more popular\older to get series 1-4 cards. I figured quantity with the new series was the best strategy as a pivot to get the older cards. Target has been incredible for me, but I learned quickly how to monitor their site when they go back up for shipping (much less interested picking up at the store, though I had one success order like that).

Definitely wait til the cards are on the way before you cancel the Funko pops. If you forget you can just bring them to the store and return that way too and get your money back. Super easy!

Yeah the 1-4 product pages being removed at target.com is sad. It's why I am working on that strategy I mentioned. I don't have an alternative and refuse to pay scalper prices for packs.

Do you know what happens if you cancel an item from the order before it ships?
