Good luck
[Update:As expected the rollout seems to be a mess. The official Twitter account didn’t update anyone when the process began, leaving many fans in the lurch as to how they should actually buy the newAnimal Crossingline. After many requests,it provided a link to the waiting room.
In addition, after a lot of hype, they are reportedlyonly selling Isabelle and Tom NookSKUs at this time (which might be the entire “line” altogether). Many folks on Twitter are reporting that they couldn’t get in the waiting room, or never got the email explaining anything regarding the process. If you try and join the waiting room now the time listed is “over an hour.”]
Ah, another day, another Nintendo-merchandise-related fiasco in the making.
Fresh off of the insane demand forAnimal Crossing Sanriocrossover amiibo cards is the newest promotion on the block: Animal Crossing Build-A-Bear. You laugh, but this promo is so crazily hyped that the Build-A-Bear corporation is actually taking this very seriously, andhas provided exact go-times for the online frenzy.
Todayat 10:30AM ET, you’ll be allowed the privilege of stepping into a virtual waiting room for an 11:00AM ET sale time. If you’re curious,to get the go-ahead and the link for said online room.
While my kid would probably love one of these, I’m at the point where I rarely get involved in Nintendo-related merch anymore. There are too many dropped balls by retailers and very little oversight in terms of limiting scalpers. When the hunt stops being remotely fun, it’s time to walk away.
Having said that, good luck if you’re trying today!
