Where to buy NA amiibo cards online?

[starlite]

Hey!! So, I'm from Ireland, and over here the amiibo cards are sold as packs of 3, and they're quite expensive! I've seen them for €6.99 (roughly $8) and the cheapest I've come across is €5.50! (roughly $6.30) I want to buy a bunch of them, naturally, but I don't want to spend all that money!!

I know that in the US the packs contain 6 cards, and they also seem to be cheaper than the packs of 3, which is crazy!!! But I was just wondering if anyone knows any websites that sell the 6 packs online, and that ship worldwide?

I've had a look, but haven't found any!! It would mean a lot if anyone could help out!!

Have a great day!! ​

One of the biggest problems you'll face right now is that most US retailers are still having a really rough time keeping the cards in stock. For example, in the past few days both Amazon and GameStop have made cards available online and both sold out of their available stock within 24-48 hours. Amazon didn't even have them in stock in the first place, but rather they were accepting orders for a future shipment date (Oct 20, I think). Your best bet may be to bookmark those listings and keep an eye out. Do keep in mind, though, that with online retailers limiting purchase quantities, it may not end up being worth your while when combined with international shipping costs.

Right now, only available from a third-party seller but stock occasionally shows up. However, they enforce a 3-pack limit. International shipping info.

Enforce a 10 pack limit. GameStop's international shipping information can be found here!

There are other retailers which offer the cards for sale online, but they either don't ship internationally or have even worse product limits (for example, both Best Buy and Hastings limit quantity to 1 pack). Walmart also enforces a limit of 3 packs. Toys'R'Us limits to 5 AND overcharges for the packs.

Sorry if I'm not much of a help, just wanted to provide a little more insight into the current U.S. availability situation. Good luck!

Wow, thank you so much for all the info!!!

Aww, I don't think I'm going to have much luck, then!! I'll just have to save up a lot haha!! It just kills me to pay, like, $6.30 for 3 cards, when the American Game Stop sells double that amount for only $5.99 haha!! The Irish Game Stop don't seem to have the cards at all, yet, so maybe when they do their prices might be better? Who knows!! Again thanks so much for your help, I really really appreciate all the info!!

Your best bet is to check out ebay. That's where I found a number of the cards I needed

Wow, I can't believe what they're charging you guys for the 3-card packs. If they were at half the (converted) price that ours of 6 were that'd make perfect sense and might even help sales, but nearly $8? That's outrageous. Definitely buy online, miyari's post was very helpful for that.
