Within minutes of the sale going live on Friday, Target sold out of item. Related: When Animal Crossing Build-A-Bears Are Comingįans waited for months to finally get their hands on the amiibo Animal Crossing Sanrio Collaboration pack, but unfortunately, some many seem to have been unable to make the purchase. The Sanrio card pack actually released in Japan back in 2016, but it did not come to the United States until Nintendo announced the Animal Crossing x Sanrio Target exclusive earlier this year. Having first been introduced in Animal Crossing: New Leaf, each character also comes with their own in-game poster, which can be purchased in the Nook Shopping app in New Horizons. Each character card in the pack can be scanned on Nintendo Switch and Switch Lite Joy-Cons to unlock the characters in Animal Crossing: New Horizons, as well as their own in-game item sets with Sanrio character themes, such as Hello Kitty and Little Twin Stars. The Animal Crossing x Sanrio amiibo cards feature six characters inspired by Sanrio characters: Rilla, Marty, Étoile, Chai, Chelsea, and Toby. Players are upset and rightfully so, as it appears that Nintendo has once again driven players directly into the greedy hands of online scalpers.
Nintendo's Animal Crossing: New Horizons Sanrio amiibo card pack went on sale exclusively at Target on Friday, March 26, but the Hello Kitty-themed DLC sold out almost instantly, leaving many empty-handed and disappointed.
