Is anyone planning on getting the released switch gear?

I'm sure these aren't the last gear releases for the Switch/Switch Lite, but is anyone planning on ordering these from amazon.jp or hmv or waiting until they're released elsewhere?
I'm curious just because there's been relatively very little hype regarding them -- other than the new character reveals on the new skin :p
 
I probably wont get any sticker related products because I don't like sticking stuff directly only my consoles. Plus, it honestly looks terrible in my opinion LOL. The second one is okay, but the first one doesn't even look like an appealing product. I also forgot it was merch and thought it was just some cryptic promo we had to decipher :') I think some of the gear that came out is really cute though! I like the Hori products and those tiny cartridge cases with Mable and Sable on them. But for the most part, I'm not digging a lot of the new merch.

yeah that's partially why i'm asking... i feel like i want to get them solely because it's animal crossing merch but on their own i feel like the designs are really lacking for some of them. glad i'm not alone on that!
 
Nothing has really been "my" type usage so far. Some of it is cute, but too busy or the wrong color for my taste? My Switch likely will not be leaving the house, so all the carrying cases or a variant of the sort I will not be needing.

I sort of wished they had more things like their physical merch in the Japanese Nintendo store.

It would be better if they put more thought into it rather than just “throw a bunch of HD villagers together and call it a design”. The AC calendars that they released (this year and last year) has some really cute illustrative elements to them that would look amazing on products! If they made some switch accessories like that I would be all over it. I’m hoping if they release joycons they’ll be nicer than what we’ve seen... but they’ll probably be some variation of pop tart again :/

We posted at the same time so I didn’t see this but YES! This is what I mean. The illustrative merch is so much nicer. I want that set so bad!
 
I’m not getting the stickers, but I would love a switch case and some animal crossing joy cons which I am hoping for.
 
I ordered these:

I'm excited to use the bags when commuting to work. The stand will be for home use.
