Welcome Amiibo Card Rarity?
- Thread starter Blueskyy
- Start date
Welcome Amiibo cards are quite rare, at least the RV ones. I can find Series 1-4 at stores online, such as Toys R Us, but the WA and Sanrio cards are near impossible to find at a decent price, most people I see are selling them individually for a lot. :c I found my one WA card pack at Best Buy when they first came out and that's the only one I've seen.
Yeah, they are pretty much out of stock/print here as well, especially since I live in a tiny country where not a lot of people still play it. You can find some of the regular Series cards in certain stores as well as albums if you are lucky but WA/Sanrio I guess you are better off buying second hand from someone, trade here, or get them from Japan.
The Welcome Amiibo cards are probably only sold in Japan, even though they're highly in demand Nintendo doesn't care at all to restock them 
so, we're sadly stuck buying them online for very expensive prices.
The series 1-4 cards can easily be found in stores (depends on location I guess, but they are still in stores).

here they only sell series 1 cards
They're basically impossible to find. I wish Nintendo would re-release them. I should ask my friend in Japan to find some for me if they still sell them there.
OP I would buy them all off you depending on how much you sold them for, since you're bored of them.

I've heard that they're supposed to maybe release some this winter, but it might be rumors from last year. I hope not because I would like to have some, at least some more amiibo cards.
There's some people on etsy that have amiibo cards for decent prices, but they want like 50 cents -$2 PER card just to ship.

That's cheaper shipping than I saw on Etsy. Maybe it's 'cause I'm in Canada. I have Hopkins now 'cause I got one in my new game. Was hoping for someone more exciting but oh well.

They were coming from Canada. The base price was about $1-$5 a card then $2 to ship one card, then 50cents per card after that.
If I bought 10 $1 cards, it be $17 all together and I'm too cheap for that. *sigh*

I bought a full box when they first came out. Walmart and Best Buy didn't sell the Series 4 and Welcome Amiibo in store. Those stores sold them online for a short period of time. A month ago Best Buy Canada had them on their site but the shipping for one pack was $17. Checked again and they don't have them in stock.
The local gaming store said that no one was buying the cards before the update. They were taking up space for items that did sell. So a lot of stores went with online only. The summer before the update cards were on sale in a lot of gaming stores. Nintendo should have released the update late Spring 2016 when the card buying slowed down. At that time players were still trying to complete series 1. I would have preferred to buy the DLC instead of the cards. Buy all or some DLC and the villager show up. No scanning cards.

I heard Nintendo stopped printing these but they haven't officially confirmed it? It sucks that these cards have to be so rare :/ Just makes them more vulnerable to scalpers. Nintendo knows we want them so why not just print more. They can make tons of profit instead of scalpers.
