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

[azurill]

I was actually able to get some cards from Target. My mom ordered me 4 packs for Christmas. They will be here on Wednesday and have to be shipped since the closest store that has them is an hour and and half away. Hopefully can have Ione for Christmas.

If my Target packs actually ship, I’m hoping for Raymond and Cyd to have backups of two villagers in my town I’ve grown to love.

The Target site has shipping available but I’m not dropping my money on these anymore. Hoping people can get them!

Yes! Thank you so much! I finally was able to get my hands on some packs from target!

I keep managing to get a Target shipping order and then it gets cancelled immediately! What is going on? I successfully got 2 shipping orders processed yesterday morning and then I would see more shipping available over the day or this morning, a local pick up and it goes all the way through to checkout then immediately cancels it. The message lists reasons for cancelling one being that I might have reached a purchase maximum. But I know from here that people have been able to make multiple orders before with no issue. So what is happening? Has my account somehow been flagged? I am so bummed.

I hope you get them. I actually have an extra Raymond card. I am also looking for Cyd and Shino. These will be the last packs I try for. Since I’m already going to have a good amount of duplicates.

This is just a guess but they may have some type of “fraud protection” where if the system is detecting activity like you constantly buying multiple packs from different stores, they start to cancel. If you give it a day or two, it’ll probably reset.

I’ve given up hope at this point. In the one pack I got, I found both Faith and Shino, and the only others I would have liked to have were Raymond, Sasha, and Cephalobot. When I was at my Target getting these cards, I noticed that they had a huge stack of Sanrio amiibos probably 20-25 deep, so fingers crossed we get a restock in a couple of months.

I think you are right. I guess Target thinks I’m a scalper now just because I successfully bought 8 packs? It makes me feel kinda bad. And question my life choices, lol.

Just give it a rest for a day and I’d assume it’ll allow you to again!

 

[Khaelis]

Do you have a Toys R Us close? Yesterday they had some in my town (out of stock today)

I do, but its a bit out of the way. I'm generally not in the area much.

 

[amylase]

Felt like Christmas morning at Target. Was able to grab 8 packs

 

[JulianSG16]

I've been getting mad lucky with Target orders, the one advantage to my job destroying my sleep schedule is that I'm up around 3:50 to 5:00 am when the text alerts let me know that the cards are in stock online. Now I only need 10 NPCs to finish the set.
I'm so tired.

 

[amylase]

Yea haven't been too lucky. First time in a long time I was able to grab some. I've been lucky I've gotten 14 packs altogether and have only gotten 1 SP duplicate. Fingers crossed that keeps happening.

I’ve successfully bought and received 24 packs from Target now so that’s not it. I only could use Store pickup once and everything else was shipping only. Were you only store pickup type orders? Each individual store has discretion on the others and the individual store may have a policy of one pack per customer (like my store) but there’s no way for them to convey that to the web storefront (developers don’t think of everything or upper management doesn’t want to pay for further development costs if they think to do it later) so likely that’s why yours have been cancelled. The store maybe like mine and see 4 card packs and is strict of one per customer. On 11/5 I stood outside our local target in 23° air and the store manager was there and said their policy was one pack per customer.

Just got my 3 packs from Amazon Germany shipped stateside (they used DHL) and out of 9 cards I got a dupe of Reneigh. Bad odds for sure! It would have been a miracle if I got SP 110 of Sable. It’s the only card I need (North American version anyway)

The heck are these cards branded with the Nintendo 3DS stuff? Seems like it should have the Nintendo Switch stuff on the foil

Nice! Shipping label was created for my packs and I should have them Tuesday.

Yeah it’s so strange. My local stores do have a strict 1 per person for in store buying/pickup. I was able to place 2 orders of 4 packs each for shipping via the app yesterday (and according to shipping they are both coming from CA). But there have been more available to order for shipping and everytime I place an order it goes through then immediately is cancelled. Like within seconds. Then I was sent an email that lists possible reasons for cancelling as being that I’ve hit the max allowed or problem with my card (which is not the problem). Then there was the option for more shipping early this morning and local pickup (which I only ordered 1 pack). And all were cancelled within seconds. I honestly tried a few times because it was so weird.
I am not going to try again for a while. It seems like my account has been flagged or something.

I’m part of a Facebook group and people are selling multiples of all villagers for like 3 dollars each including shipping. People are after the SPs right now. Those go instantly when put up for sale

Do you have any extras of Series 1 through 4?I have plenty of Raymond, And Cephalobot and would trade in a heartbeat to get some older cards

 

[Blueskyy]

Ok I got one more pack from Target pickup today. The girl picking the order was like I love that game so much! She did go to a different area than the pickup area to get them though. Wonder why.

 

[azurill]

I checked the tracking for my target cards and it says delivery date will be provided as soon as possible.
