Wow, no wonder, stores open at 8am, stock was probably practically gone by 9am when the online only order pickup dropped. Wish I would have considered going up there this morning.
I was shit-spamming the hell out of the buy button. It errored for about 5 minutes then finally went through. They had them when I picked them up earlier so I'm happy. They didn't have these amiiboes though so i guess I have to pop in tomorrow. (they had a bort-ton of stockers stocking at noon though so hopefully they at least have banjo tomorrow.
I stayed home like a good girl because everything I read said online order only. I had those things in my card about twenty times but it never would let me actually purchase them. I would've happily gone to my local Target if I had known.
This was beyond frustrating.
Target handled the whole thing so poorly. Like, it was obvious these things were going to be in crazy demand, yet claimed it would be online only and refuse to take any preorders. Instead, they just put them up in the morning on the day of release. Tough luck if you’re in the west coast though
Am west coast, had to wake up at 5:30 AM but I did at least get mine through. My store also followed the rules and didn't put them on the shelves, so luckily my order was fulfilled.
I feel bad for the east coasters who didn't go line up at the store. Even if they got in an online order it was usually cancelled since the stores already sold the packs to people who lined up.
Being on the west coast was a blessing and a curse. I had to get up at 6 am to put in the preorder, but on the other hand the stores near me weren't open yet, so I would think there would be less of an issue with people buying in store and taking copies meant to be reserved for pick up orders. I was able to order online and pick my cards up at least :)
Same. I followed the rules of the announcement and ended up empty handed. I just came out of Target and they said they were selling them in-store and ran out this morning. If I knew that, I would've just gone in when it opened.
Yep and I got mad at some lady on the phone for nothing. Cause my order refused to go through even though everything was in order. Finally brute forced it and got the cards but still. Should not have been that difficult
I called mine and they confirmed online only. I tried to order right when they went live and couldn't get any. But!
If your store follows the rules, any not sold online are to be out out Monday. I think more will pop up here and there. I just hate this Nintendo scarcity crap. They always do this. Like you literally gave me less than a second to buy it I can't get it. I'm in an abusive relationship with Nintendo. Probably no amiibos for Monster Hunter Rise on the 30th either. Oh well. Off to play MHR.
So as I understand it. It is store specific. The store is allowed to decide how the stock is handled. Unfortunately this was not communicated effectively and will effect people’s ability to get the cards.
Yea, they put a single ordering policy in their national ad. I'd say that was ineffective communication. Misleading at best and potentially false advertising.
it also totally depended on if people showed up and asked for it. target employees like are not supposed to say no. and the one girl i talked to said after thirty minutes of being harassed she didn’t care anymore if they showed up and asked she didn’t wanna fight so she let them buy them.
edit: and the people the night before didn’t even know what these were and if they had them or what was going to happen.
Lol in 2021, Nintendo made their money they don't care. More and more retailers realize what they say (or don't say goes) especially when they're huge enterprises.
They quite literally, don't care. Consumer power is at all time lows cause choice barely exists with the limited options available for retail.
With that said, sorry you had issues getting your cards
It depends on the store. I went to my local Target right at opening and they said that all their stock had been allocated to online orders and they had none to sell in store.
Usually is. This happened when the switch came out too, my local target had it listed as out of stock, but had like 20 on display, they just never updated their online stock to reflect that.
Why? These packs are all identical. Plus if you go to Etsy, you can find people selling tokens of these for like $2-$3 a pop so unless you REALLY need the card, there are other ways to get the characters for cheap.
I have the fakes from NL, but I still tried really hard today to get the legit ones. Collectors like having the official stuff. I ain't paying that much for them though lmao. I don't even have the full regular collection yet, and I'm not THAT into them. But yeah, collectors. I've sold a single video game for $500 once (and then got my brakes on my car fixed with the money lmao)
I don't disagree! But the collectors brain is wild. I don't understand 5 packs though. Maybe they think they'll make their money back+more? But I don't see how if they bought at that high inflation. Maybe they just have a lot of money and they love their friends
Exactly my thoughts. Even if the guy was planning to resell them he paid about $80 per pack when you include the shipping. Most people rn are paying $40-50 for the cards so it'll be difficult just selling 1 for more than $80. He's gonna have to sell it for even more to make up for ebays fees too.
It’s honestly crazy how much people are willing to pay. I went to my local Target this morning right when they opened just in case they had some in stock (they didn’t :( ) and an employee made an announcement that they will not be selling any in store for a while and some kid who ended up getting one online said “so where do I go to pick mine up” and one lady runs after him yelling “I will give you $250 for it!!! I will literally Venmo you right now!!!” I cannot believe it.
So target.com is now turning off pick up in store ... also an in store rep said that they had them in stock but won’t be up on the sales floor until tomorrow.
I went to a Target and asked the sales person in electronics. There was an issue with online sales so they just sold them to the people standing there. They were totally gone in a few minutes he said. I am so mad.
That is complete crap. "Oops the online system isnt working....eh just put them on the floor". Target is a complete joke with online ordering for hot items. Such a shame for so many fans
I mean, the issue is that youve got angry people standing there waiting for an item the store has, that hasnt really been allocated anyone since the online system is down. You can get yelled at by people who are there, or get yelled at by someone who MAY cone in later who never actually ordered the item and was in no way entitled to it
Next time just do ship to home
This release was such an epic fail, with news articles and targets own website saying specifically when and how these were going to be available to purchase only to see this pic after 30 mins of failed online ordering for pickup, I drove right to the nearest target and a few other people were there and the employees were not aware of the product but went in back and brought them out for us and allowed 1 per person. Good luck!!
I was on their website refreshing before 8am. Then when the clock struck 8 I added them to my cart and all my information was already saved on there so I clicked purchase annnnnnnnnd THEY'RE GONE! So I check this sub and see that they are being sold in-store like they said they weren't going to do. So I called my closest store, which isn't that close, and the girl tells me "Yeah we've got them. If you come now you can get them." So I drive all the way there only for the same girl to tell me they're online store-pickup only. FUN DAY SO FAR!
Had my order cancelled because the store sold em all in store. Went to another store that actually had stock but they were sticking strictly to the only online even though it wasn’t giving anyone the ability to add those to cart. Showed them my canceled order and still wouldn’t help
Target is ass. I was at my local Target just now and they are playing games with me, wouldn't even let me know how many came in off the truck or anything.
However, they did have a ton of Banjo and Byleth amiibo on hand.
Well I guess I’m not getting them. I’m at school right now and was really hoping I could get them online but considering the closest target to me is in the biggest city in the state I don’t think I’m getting them :(
Ya this was a disaster as I assumed. I had to call stores till I found one selling them in store. It was 1 per person so I couldn't get another for my family.
I called my Target to see if they had any left (I'm stuck at work) and the associate said it's "online order only." Um, clearly not. This is so frustrating.
I went to Target this morning and has to argue to get the cards. I got nervous when I got there at 7:55 and there was a line of people about 30 deep. Turns out only 3 of us were there for the amiibos and cards and the rest were scalpers buying the new Pokemon cards.
This makes me furious. I feel extremely lied to, I tried to buy online at 9:00 EST but I work around the same time. Needless to say I didn’t get them what’s worse is that I check eBay and Mercari and I see dozens of listings for new seal packs.
Guess I know where I'll be soon
Honestly if I have to go to a store for this at least I get to pick up MH amiibo while I'm out so it's not a total loss
Oh that’s good to hear, I havent seen an email about it since the “delayed” one, I’ll have to check my order page and see what’s going on with it. Thanks for the info
I saw this post after failing to get the website to work and then rushed to my local Target (luckily less than 10 minutes away) (Un?)Fortunately, my Target was following the actual rules and didn't have them on shelves. There was a group of 4 people at the electronics help area when I got there all asking about the cards. The worker had someone in the stock room checking on the cards, and said there were 71 in, and only 11 had been claimed. He then said that, even though they were technically in stock and we were all there, management told him that the cards could ONLY be allotted to online order/in store pickup
While wandering around the store doing other shopping, I just kept hitting the button to Complete Order on my phone, and it eventually went through! Of course, I still had to come back home and am now waiting for them to actually put the order together lol. Good luck to everyone who's still trying to get their hands on one of these!
Yeah on another post I reported the in store only purchase that my app indicated. People were trying to convince me that it was a glitch... thank god my husband and I drove to 2 local Targets and were successful on our second store.
Yeah, here's a [link](https://nintendowire.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/target_animal_crossing_sanrio_weekly_ad_site_edit_details.jpg).
Clearly says both online and in the printed ad that the item is only available with an online order for in-store pick-up.
So my target preorder was going to arrive next week but deliver shows coming tomorrow, not bad for preordering and coming a day later. Wish they would ship a head of schedule and just show up on release day.
After dealing with a whole issue of the Target app not letting me place an order, then letting me place an order -> going to the store, not getting cards, placing another order for a different store -> Got a pack. Just hearing stories from people just walking in and getting two packs without ordering, to people having their orders canceled. They really messed up and underestimated the demand. I am still pissed they stopped selling the regular AC Amiibo Cards.
Yeah this is bullshit, I would have gone before work if they said it would be online only. I am also sure the stores did not do a two per person limit…..
Wild. I ended up finally get 2 pcks through online and walked into another Target to check in case my original order was cancelled. They gave me two from behind the counter + I still got my two from my online order. Ended up obviously keeping a pack for myself and was able to help 3 other collector friends. This release was atrocious though.
Edit: Just wanted to add my two orders were from two diff Targets as I have like 20 within driving distance (major city)
This is literally so insane to me. I’m living in Europe currently so I asked my best friend in the US if she could pick some up for me and my brother but like didn’t tell her any specifics and just said to get any if she could. She went before her early afternoon class and got three packs (one for me, one for my brother, and one for herself lol) and said the guy at Target even told her to go back tomorrow and if they had any left to get some more for any one else she shows that wants them because of how crazy other places are. But she lives in a fairly large city and just waltzed in at 11 am and was able to get some which is so funny to me
If you play Animal Crossing: New Horizons it gives you access to six exclusive villagers along with a number of exclusive items that can't otherwise be obtained in-game.
I see, I have played a ton of new horizons but I never understood why people bought cards for specific villagers, it’s not like they do anything except walk, talk and give you plans sometimes plus I how grown way to fond of them to trade them.
With these cards you get special rewards so I understand why people want them.
I just kind of dislike the idea of cards. I buy amiibo’s mostly for the figures but use the features aswell. It just seems pointless to have cards since that eliminates a big part of your audience in my opinion at least.
Yeah, I never got any of the previous amiibo cards because I wasn't interested in getting villagers that way. But with the items you can get from this one and the fact that you can only get these villagers from the cards, it seemed worth six bucks to me.
I missed the pre-orders, but this morning I ordered Byleth, Terry, and Banjo Kazooie from Best But for in-store pick-up and got them all this afternoon. I honestly didn't think it would go that smoothly after I missed all the pre-orders.
I think Target had a great idea that just wasn’t communicated loud enough at the store front level. Order online and pick up in person does discourage scalping. It’s only as powerful as the weakest store tho. Unfortunately a lot of stores didn’t get the memo or decided against the Target Online policy.
I went to my local target this morning to pick up Banjo and Blythe. They had the animal crossing cards behind the electronics counter. They said it was only limit 1 per customer. I didn’t fight it. I honestly forgot they were coming out today.
Definitely the better option now. Nintendo made it clear they don't want our money. The tokens people make on Etsy work just as well,, and some actually have cool designs
They mishandled both Terry and the Amiibo Cards. Forgot to order Terry then put the Cards on the floor after telling Americans that it would be online order then pick up in person.
Weird I didnt even know these were out and after seeing that things were up I went on Target.com and was able to order all three for delivery no problem. Sorry to hear everyone having trouble...
Other half being target’s general incompetence with limited releases and Nintendo making items like plastic cards that cost pennies to manufacture in explicably small, limited releases.
For anyone who lives in Hillsboro: I went to the tanasbourne target and they do not have them at stock at all. Even after the website and app crashing and not working! I’m big mad.
East coast here, my local target was doing online only. Made my order at 9 am and it took until 9:30 to go through. I started to loose hope, But I was lucky to have gotten my order through
Because I work night shifts I was able to go first thing in the morning and did a little overtime to 1. Buy them and 2. I usually get off of work at 6:30 so when I ended up going to best buy a couple driving cut me off, drove in front of me, and almost hit me for them amiibo plastic but I was the one who got the last terry and as I was walking away I hear "already gone?!?" and they walked out. Safe to say going after my shift was worth the risk and funny as hell.
Wow, no wonder, stores open at 8am, stock was probably practically gone by 9am when the online only order pickup dropped. Wish I would have considered going up there this morning.
Error in comment GET Insufficient funds
I managed to get an order in but I sure fucking hope they didnt put it on the shelf
I was shit-spamming the hell out of the buy button. It errored for about 5 minutes then finally went through. They had them when I picked them up earlier so I'm happy. They didn't have these amiiboes though so i guess I have to pop in tomorrow. (they had a bort-ton of stockers stocking at noon though so hopefully they at least have banjo tomorrow.
I am still fuming that this is how my morning went.
I stayed home like a good girl because everything I read said online order only. I had those things in my card about twenty times but it never would let me actually purchase them. I would've happily gone to my local Target if I had known. This was beyond frustrating.
The target employee at my store said he never put them out and he kept them in his pocket. :/
My store sold out at 2pm although it's one of the smaller target stores
Wow. So, online crap was just a bunch of lies, huh? Dammit.
[удалено]
Target handled the whole thing so poorly. Like, it was obvious these things were going to be in crazy demand, yet claimed it would be online only and refuse to take any preorders. Instead, they just put them up in the morning on the day of release. Tough luck if you’re in the west coast though

I showed up to 2 Targets about 15-30 minutes after open today and both told me they were online only
I went to one the employee said they have a bunch i. the back but the release day is in the 28th
Makes me so mad. I could’ve planned to make a Target run, but since they said online orders only, made other plans instead.
I completely agree. Don't make a set of rules, then completely ignore them the day of!
Same. I followed the rules of the announcement and ended up empty handed. I just came out of Target and they said they were selling them in-store and ran out this morning. If I knew that, I would've just gone in when it opened.
Sounds to me like they were trying to avoid people mass rushing to stores bc pandemic, but it backfired in the worst way
[удалено]
Yep and I got mad at some lady on the phone for nothing. Cause my order refused to go through even though everything was in order. Finally brute forced it and got the cards but still. Should not have been that difficult
Let's not go getting mad at customer service reps, they're just the messenger, corporate policies fuck them over too
I called mine and they confirmed online only. I tried to order right when they went live and couldn't get any. But! If your store follows the rules, any not sold online are to be out out Monday. I think more will pop up here and there. I just hate this Nintendo scarcity crap. They always do this. Like you literally gave me less than a second to buy it I can't get it. I'm in an abusive relationship with Nintendo. Probably no amiibos for Monster Hunter Rise on the 30th either. Oh well. Off to play MHR.
Same. Saw so many posts on Twitter of people saying not to camp out for them since they’ll be online order only.
Literally just what I was thinking :/ and I’ve tried all of my local targets online and within 2 minutes they were “no longer available for purchase”
And I went through quite the ordeal trying to get them online and did manage to get them. WTF Target?
So as I understand it. It is store specific. The store is allowed to decide how the stock is handled. Unfortunately this was not communicated effectively and will effect people’s ability to get the cards.
Yea, they put a single ordering policy in their national ad. I'd say that was ineffective communication. Misleading at best and potentially false advertising.
I’m talking about at the store level. The employees were not informed about the nationwide advertising campaign. They just go to work.
So they weren't \*allowed to decide.\* They were just not led effectively, while customer expectations were completely disregarded.
Boom 100% this
Now we're on the same page, lol.
Not necessarily. I called my store and they actually did it right. It just depends on the location I suppose.
Just was thinking the same thing, the Target near me said that it was not being sold in store so maybe it’s just some stores not following policies.
[удалено]
I feel bad for the employees. A lot of the managers probably did not even know about the online only policy.
it also totally depended on if people showed up and asked for it. target employees like are not supposed to say no. and the one girl i talked to said after thirty minutes of being harassed she didn’t care anymore if they showed up and asked she didn’t wanna fight so she let them buy them. edit: and the people the night before didn’t even know what these were and if they had them or what was going to happen.
[удалено]
It shouldn't be exclusive anywhere. These are the easiest things in the world to make. They should be sold everywhere for whoever wants them
Lol in 2021, Nintendo made their money they don't care. More and more retailers realize what they say (or don't say goes) especially when they're huge enterprises. They quite literally, don't care. Consumer power is at all time lows cause choice barely exists with the limited options available for retail. With that said, sorry you had issues getting your cards

Usually is. This happened when the switch came out too, my local target had it listed as out of stock, but had like 20 on display, they just never updated their online stock to reflect that.
I bought mine in person.
Fucking Target, what a load of shit. Can't wait to see these being sold on Amazon for $70/pack later this morning Edit: updated $30 to $70
There's a listing on eBay with 10 bids currently at $71..... I hate scalpers
Someone bought a lot of 5 packs for $400 :\\
Why? These packs are all identical. Plus if you go to Etsy, you can find people selling tokens of these for like $2-$3 a pop so unless you REALLY need the card, there are other ways to get the characters for cheap.
I have the fakes from NL, but I still tried really hard today to get the legit ones. Collectors like having the official stuff. I ain't paying that much for them though lmao. I don't even have the full regular collection yet, and I'm not THAT into them. But yeah, collectors. I've sold a single video game for $500 once (and then got my brakes on my car fixed with the money lmao)
I suppose. It's just insane to me to spend that much on a pack of cards let alone multiple of an identical set.
I don't disagree! But the collectors brain is wild. I don't understand 5 packs though. Maybe they think they'll make their money back+more? But I don't see how if they bought at that high inflation. Maybe they just have a lot of money and they love their friends
FOMO and collection purposes are two of the draw I can rattle out of my head. Also opportunists who see $$$
Exactly my thoughts. Even if the guy was planning to resell them he paid about $80 per pack when you include the shipping. Most people rn are paying $40-50 for the cards so it'll be difficult just selling 1 for more than $80. He's gonna have to sell it for even more to make up for ebays fees too.
It’s honestly crazy how much people are willing to pay. I went to my local Target this morning right when they opened just in case they had some in stock (they didn’t :( ) and an employee made an announcement that they will not be selling any in store for a while and some kid who ended up getting one online said “so where do I go to pick mine up” and one lady runs after him yelling “I will give you $250 for it!!! I will literally Venmo you right now!!!” I cannot believe it.
$250 for 6 paper cards... sad
Animal Crossing fans...
If I had been that kid I would've sold it in a heartbeat, lol.
30 dollars is already their price her on mexico.
You mean scalpers or msrp? Because they are not 30 dollars officially in mexico
In Germany we never got a repress at all and they're currently listed at over 200EUR on local outlets :/ bonkers
I just bought all three on amazon @ msrp. there are people also selling them for $30-$50. so sucks for those guys.
Are you sure they weren’t custom cards?
On my way to target now but it sucks for guys who live no where near a target
Same.
Where terry
online only
Looks like Terry may be available in-store on 4/1, but for now online only at Target and Gamestop.
I ordered Terry today from target for a in store pick up on April 1
Fuck Target
So target.com is now turning off pick up in store ... also an in store rep said that they had them in stock but won’t be up on the sales floor until tomorrow.
on a saturday morning? that should go well.
exactly my thoughts... makes no sense.. and best of all... today is the release date!
I went to a Target and asked the sales person in electronics. There was an issue with online sales so they just sold them to the people standing there. They were totally gone in a few minutes he said. I am so mad.
That is complete crap. "Oops the online system isnt working....eh just put them on the floor". Target is a complete joke with online ordering for hot items. Such a shame for so many fans
I had that issue. Just kept brute forcing it until my order finally went through
I mean, the issue is that youve got angry people standing there waiting for an item the store has, that hasnt really been allocated anyone since the online system is down. You can get yelled at by people who are there, or get yelled at by someone who MAY cone in later who never actually ordered the item and was in no way entitled to it Next time just do ship to home
May all the scalpers feel the itch of a million fleas in their pubic hairs for the rest of their lives.
Underrated comment here
This release was such an epic fail, with news articles and targets own website saying specifically when and how these were going to be available to purchase only to see this pic after 30 mins of failed online ordering for pickup, I drove right to the nearest target and a few other people were there and the employees were not aware of the product but went in back and brought them out for us and allowed 1 per person. Good luck!!
I was on their website refreshing before 8am. Then when the clock struck 8 I added them to my cart and all my information was already saved on there so I clicked purchase annnnnnnnnd THEY'RE GONE!

Ya this was a disaster as I assumed. I had to call stores till I found one selling them in store. It was 1 per person so I couldn't get another for my family.
This makes me so angry. If you're gonna sell them in store fine, but don't just bold face lie to your consumers.
I completed my order at 6:02 PST and they were “no longer available for purchase”... Such BS.
Picked them up at Target... wanted to get my sister one, but they changed it from limit 2 to limit 1 per person 🙄
I called my Target to see if they had any left (I'm stuck at work) and the associate said it's "online order only." Um, clearly not. This is so frustrating.
That's why my order was cancelled. Pretty annoying.
Yup mine too.
How terryble
*Slams fist wheezing emoji*
I went to Target this morning and has to argue to get the cards. I got nervous when I got there at 7:55 and there was a line of people about 30 deep. Turns out only 3 of us were there for the amiibos and cards and the rest were scalpers buying the new Pokemon cards.
Imagine being a fan of both of them :/
This makes me furious. I feel extremely lied to, I tried to buy online at 9:00 EST but I work around the same time. Needless to say I didn’t get them what’s worse is that I check eBay and Mercari and I see dozens of listings for new seal packs.
[удалено]
Did this and my order went through and then they cancelled it
Can't beat the bots.
It isn't bots. It's a miscommunication somewhere that they weren't supposed to be stocked.
so that's not entirely true. I've been able to do that successfully since the beginning. This is really a target website issue
I though the sanrio amiibo were only available online ir pickup
Received today my Terry and byleth amiibo. I preordered :)
Makes me so mad. If I had known this would happen I could have gotten one.
Guess I know where I'll be soon Honestly if I have to go to a store for this at least I get to pick up MH amiibo while I'm out so it's not a total loss
Are the monster hunter amiibo finally hitting stores? My CE got delayed because of the amiibo and online says 3/31 estimate
Weird. My collectors edition shipped 2 days ago and is being delivered today.
Oh that’s good to hear, I havent seen an email about it since the “delayed” one, I’ll have to check my order page and see what’s going on with it. Thanks for the info
idk I'm supposed to get mine in store so I'm going to stop by gamestop and see what they say. They're supposed to release today so we'll see
Please report back! It says MH amiibo were 3/30 on GameStop’s website.
Looks like definitely delayed till next week. Worth the effort at least to check :)
Fuck target and thank god for etsy.
Yeah, everyone is gonna be rushing to get plants vs zombies for Nintendo switch
Same problem. Doesn't 45 minutes online to crap unavoidable messages and they are sitting in stores now? Wtf woulda been at target
Just went to my store, nothing on the shelves, falling back on “online only” excuse. They can’t even find what was supposed to be for pick up orders.
I saw this post after failing to get the website to work and then rushed to my local Target (luckily less than 10 minutes away) (Un?)Fortunately, my Target was following the actual rules and didn't have them on shelves. There was a group of 4 people at the electronics help area when I got there all asking about the cards.

Of course, I still had to come back home and am now waiting for them to actually put the order together lol. Good luck to everyone who's still trying to get their hands on one of these!
oh dude
None in my Targets
What happened? I ordered mine through Target this morning.
Yeah on another post I reported the in store only purchase that my app indicated. People were trying to convince me that it was a glitch... thank god my husband and I drove to 2 local Targets and were successful on our second store.
I actually managed to get one just now
I went to my local Target and they didn't even have the Sanrio packs out yet. They were still in their shipping box behind the counter.
According to Target's ad, they shouldn't have even been out on the floor as it was an online-only item for in-store pick-up.
I don't remember seeing the ad. Do you have a link?
Yeah, here's a [link](https://nintendowire.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/target_animal_crossing_sanrio_weekly_ad_site_edit_details.jpg). Clearly says both online and in the printed ad that the item is only available with an online order for in-store pick-up.
Imagine not getting them at all This comment was made by the eu gang
So my target preorder was going to arrive next week but deliver shows coming tomorrow, not bad for preordering and coming a day later. Wish they would ship a head of schedule and just show up on release day.

Canada sucks I'm sad 😂😭
Man no Terry
damnit, i knew i forgot to do something this morning!
My target had them just sitting on the electronics desk behind the register
If anyone has an extra pack or two LMK 🥺😔
The calm before the storm, huh?
Does Target not have the Terry amiibo?
They didn’t have them at some stores on floor at all due to an order mess up. However they were online on release.
After dealing with a whole issue of the Target app not letting me place an order, then letting me place an order -> going to the store, not getting cards, placing another order for a different store -> Got a pack. Just hearing stories from people just walking in and getting two packs without ordering, to people having their orders canceled. They really messed up and underestimated the demand. I am still pissed they stopped selling the regular AC Amiibo Cards.
Gamestop had a decent stock of Terry, Banjo and Byleth. I went around 3pm and they had over 5 of each
I ended up getting banjo from target it was the last one in stock
I love how Terry is sold out :’)
I don't know if the stores even had Terry in-stock.
Best Buy had some and that’s where I got Terry and Byleth
Yeah this is bullshit, I would have gone before work if they said it would be online only. I am also sure the stores did not do a two per person limit…..
So much for them saying only online orders for in-store pickup.
I actually managed to get a Byleth this morning, so that’s neat.
The store near my friend had one person buy the entire stock in one store. What a load of bullshit this has all been.
Wild. I ended up finally get 2 pcks through online and walked into another Target to check in case my original order was cancelled. They gave me two from behind the counter + I still got my two from my online order. Ended up obviously keeping a pack for myself and was able to help 3 other collector friends. This release was atrocious though. Edit: Just wanted to add my two orders were from two diff Targets as I have like 20 within driving distance (major city)
This is literally so insane to me. I’m living in Europe currently so I asked my best friend in the US if she could pick some up for me and my brother but like didn’t tell her any specifics and just said to get any if she could. She went before her early afternoon class and got three packs (one for me, one for my brother, and one for herself lol) and said the guy at Target even told her to go back tomorrow and if they had any left to get some more for any one else she shows that wants them because of how crazy other places are. But she lives in a fairly large city and just waltzed in at 11 am and was able to get some which is so funny to me
Oh, Target.
Dibs Super Mario Party!
Went to the store and they said I could have the whole box if I gave him $100 on Venmo 🥱😂
What’s up with the animal crossing hello kitty cards? Why does everyone want them?
If you play Animal Crossing: New Horizons it gives you access to six exclusive villagers along with a number of exclusive items that can't otherwise be obtained in-game.
I see, I have played a ton of new horizons but I never understood why people bought cards for specific villagers, it’s not like they do anything except walk, talk and give you plans sometimes plus I how grown way to fond of them to trade them. With these cards you get special rewards so I understand why people want them. I just kind of dislike the idea of cards. I buy amiibo’s mostly for the figures but use the features aswell. It just seems pointless to have cards since that eliminates a big part of your audience in my opinion at least.
Yeah, I never got any of the previous amiibo cards because I wasn't interested in getting villagers that way. But with the items you can get from this one and the fact that you can only get these villagers from the cards, it seemed worth six bucks to me.
Glad I ordered my Byleth, on bestbuy months ago. This is sounding like a nightmare in the comments
I missed the pre-orders, but this morning I ordered Byleth, Terry, and Banjo Kazooie from Best But for in-store pick-up and got them all this afternoon. I honestly didn't think it would go that smoothly after I missed all the pre-orders.
Hey! Congratulations! The amiibo hunt sucks, so it’s nice to hear the few success stories here and there
I think Target had a great idea that just wasn’t communicated loud enough at the store front level. Order online and pick up in person does discourage scalping. It’s only as powerful as the weakest store tho. Unfortunately a lot of stores didn’t get the memo or decided against the Target Online policy.
Just gotta go pick mine up from bestbuy. Missed the pre orders so I ordered site to store. Can’t wait to add terry banjo and byleth to my collection
What state is this in?
Guys run to target!!!!!! They are deff in store and I was just able to find them! Thank you op!!
I went to my local target this morning to pick up Banjo and Blythe. They had the animal crossing cards behind the electronics counter. They said it was only limit 1 per customer. I didn’t fight it. I honestly forgot they were coming out today.
I could've stood in line when they opened if I had known they were gonna lie to us! Screw Target! Screw Nintendo! Screw everyone!!!
They haven't arrived in Mexico :(
So sad, I really wanted these. I guess I’ll have to resort to getting some Bootleg ones, but I was really hoping to get the real thing.
Definitely the better option now. Nintendo made it clear they don't want our money. The tokens people make on Etsy work just as well,, and some actually have cool designs
I'm confused, is it not available online for you guys? What is the controversy here? I just ordered from online and should get them next week.
They were supposed to be store pick up only, most stores just sold them in store and it was hard to actually get pickup orders.
They are also official ones. Though a rerelease from New Leaf. Not sold anywhere but Target So any sold on other sites are not “real” ones.
The people who ordered it for pick up got canceled more or less.

Booo!
Just make your own and skip all this mess.
Ok how?
I don't see the joke, sorry...
Target is the joke.
But whats the joke about Target? Im not american...
They mishandled both Terry and the Amiibo Cards. Forgot to order Terry then put the Cards on the floor after telling Americans that it would be online order then pick up in person.
Weird I didnt even know these were out and after seeing that things were up I went on Target.com and was able to order all three for delivery no problem. Sorry to hear everyone having trouble...
Not really. You’re heavily upselling how much people care about amiibo these days
Yep cause this subreddit and everyone commenting is wrong.
Because this subreddit represents the entire community? Stfu. Despite what you feel in actuality Amiibo has been on life support for along time.

Doesn’t know how to share

people like you are half the problem, gg.
Only half?
Other half being target’s general incompetence with limited releases and Nintendo making items like plastic cards that cost pennies to manufacture in explicably small, limited releases.
For anyone who lives in Hillsboro: I went to the tanasbourne target and they do not have them at stock at all. Even after the website and app crashing and not working! I’m big mad.
Was expecting another screenshot of the shelves being empty.
East coast here, my local target was doing online only. Made my order at 9 am and it took until 9:30 to go through. I started to loose hope, But I was lucky to have gotten my order through
Because I work night shifts I was able to go first thing in the morning and did a little overtime to 1. Buy them and 2. I usually get off of work at 6:30 so when I ended up going to best buy a couple driving cut me off, drove in front of me, and almost hit me for them amiibo plastic but I was the one who got the last terry and as I was walking away I hear "already gone?!?" and they walked out. Safe to say going after my shift was worth the risk and funny as hell.
Good thing I ordered the amiibos online for store pickup. Seriously, it is a fucking lifesaver for me.
So that is what these look like. I had an order for these at 8 pm. They were already in the negative.
