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

[kemdi]

I just need one more SP card to complete the series 5 set, which is currently pending. With online trading both here and on reddit, it's taken me about 30 purchased packs to finish the set, a lot less than what I expected! With 24 sp cards total, to finish within 30 is well above the odds threshold!
To anyone wanting to complete series 5: I highly suggest you use the belltree's amiibo post office for trading! It's much more economical than to keep buying blind packs and hoping for whoever you're looking for. It may be a bit intimidating at first, but I've been trading with it 2017, and haven't had a problem.

Will they ever make a series 5 collectors album?

Yes, here is an article about it.
I would love one but it’s so expensive to get the older albums, and I like to organize the cards by species.

I’m happy they are continuing this. I have the previous 4.

I had been successful ordering many times from Target until an order arrived today. The box was empty except the bubble packing.
I called Target and they consider this a video game so that department has to make a determination on a refund. Wonder if the FedEx driver stole them?

Oof that is so awful! I am sorry. Why do people have to be that way?

Sorry that happened. I hope you can get a refund or that they try and ship more to you.

If anyone from Eu/Uk would like to trade cards please consider me. I just need Celest 407 and i will complete my very first set

I wish I knew. I suppose equipment could have damaged the box and the cards slipped out and someone taped the box back, but I wonder if I should contact Fedex or just see what plays out from Target?

If you go back in this thread, you aren’t the first person this has happened to in some capacity. So sorry

Yes this happened to me, except my empty package was one of those big brown envelopes and the bottom was cut open. The rep on the phone was very nice and gave me the refund without any trouble.

Just received my order from The Gamesmen of Australia that was forwarded to me by a kind-hearted Australian; my friend’s cousin living there.
My first impression is how inefficient the cards are packed in North America. Why do we need all that friggin’ cardboard wrapped around every foil pack here? It wasn’t terribly expensive for my Australian accomplice to send these cards across the world to me. She used Australian post (nothing fancy). I sent her $25 for it (plus a tip for the effort). Now to open and see if the comment about being sequential and complete is true.

it took 4 days but looks like the Target Video Games department has issued a refund for it. The rep I spoke with Sunday says he couldn’t do it because this product was in the video games division and they had to escalate it.

I bet this sort of thing happens more times than Target would like. I wonder if they file something to Fedex for loss prevention. I got another package from Target yesterday containing a Pro controller and the box was re-taped with clear tape over the Target-branded 'papery' tape, so either someone inspected it (due to the battery warning on the sticker on the outside of the box) or they looked inside and were disappointed there were no Amiibo cards and taped it back up.

Wow, I better go check the packages we got from Target (a pro controller and a new Razer mouse) for my son for Christmas. I haven't even opened them to check that all is well.

If there’s clear plastic tape over the Target branded paper tape it’s definitely sus to me. I dunno why the Pro controller was like that too. Still makes me mad I got the empty box the Amiibo cards were supposed to be in. That box looked kicked in but maybe that was on purpose too. I’ll never know.

Unfortunately no, Gamestop may have some left in some stores, but their info on the website are not always accurate.

no luck on my end either, unfortunately. i was hoping stores would get more in stock for black friday, but nope lol.

The situation is pretty dire in Canada. Both BestBuy and GameStop have not add any shipment in since launch. It's been a month now...

 

[romancement]

Ugh that's such a bummer (( I'm happy for all the Americans and Australians who are able to grab cards but sad for us, like I would just like a couple packs Nintendo please lol
