\"\"<\/a>And last on \u2018amiibo week,\u2019 here are some amiibo cards I recently got of a crossover with Animal Crossing and Sanrio.\u00a0 You know, the folks who make Hello Kitty.\u00a0 Out of all the amiibo things I\u2019ve wrote about this week, these cards were probably the hardest things to get!\u00a0 So let\u2019s take a look at them!<\/p>\n

Here’s a bigger picture of the front of the box.<\/p>\n

And here\u2019s the back of the box.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

And here are all the cards.\u00a0 I love how the animals have nothing to do with the Sanrio characters they represent.\u00a0 For instance, the Hello Kitty animal is a gorilla, the Kerokerokeroppi animal is a rabbit, etc.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Originally, these cards came out only in Japan many years ago, around the time that Animal Crossing: New Leaf got the \u2018Welcome amiibo\u2019 update.\u00a0 You could scan these and other cards into the game to have them visit a new campsite in your town.\u00a0 That\u2019s why they are in camper trailers here.\u00a0 Since then, the mobile game Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp has had a couple of Sanrio crossover promotions (they\u2019re doing one right now actually).\u00a0 And if you scan these into New Horizons, that animal will visit your campsite and you can coax them into moving to your town.\u00a0 But best of all, you can buy a whole set of Sanrio themed furniture and clothes at any time with the Nook Shopping app in the game, so it\u2019s kind of like paid DLC you can share.<\/p>\n

But yeah, like I said earlier, these cards were a pain in the butt to get!\u00a0 They were only sold at Target, and you could only get them online via store pickup.\u00a0 But since I\u2019ve been blind in my left eye since birth and can\u2019t drive and don\u2019t have a car, I can\u2019t do store pickup.\u00a0 So I decided that the morning of the release, I would just go inside the store and see if I can get them that way.\u00a0 Luckily, the lady I talked to in the store didn\u2019t work in Electronics and probably didn\u2019t know the details of the release, so she just handed me a set.\u00a0 I really hate it when Nintendo creates artificial scarcity like this.\u00a0 I really shouldn\u2019t have bought the cards because of that, but I also don\u2019t like denying myself things that make me happy, so getting the cards won out on the end.\u00a0 Life\u2019s too short for that, so that\u2019s why I usually don\u2019t boycott things.<\/p>\n

So these cards will make a nice addition to my Animal Crossing amiibo cards collection.\u00a0 I don\u2019t have ALL the AC amiibo cards because those come in random packs so you don\u2019t know what you\u2019re getting, so collecting them all is nigh impossible.\u00a0 Plus, when those cards first came out, I had lost my job so I had to cut back on some purchases, and Animal Crossing cards was one of those things.\u00a0 Luckily the Sanrio card packs are all the same, so that\u2019s one of the reasons why I got them.\u00a0 Anyway, that\u2019s all for now, later!\u00a0 –Cary<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
