The Sanrio Amiibo cards coming to Animal Crossing: New Horizons are just around the corner, and the value these cards add to the game is insane. Plenty of new villagers and exciting new items are surely going to attract a lot of players. However, since the cards will be available in a limited quantity, everyone will want to grab a pack for themselves.

In the US, the card packs are only available in Target stores. Fans can buy them for $5.99 a pack with a limit of only 2 per customer. Naturally, Nintendo doesn’t want to encourage scalpers who could later sell extra packs for higher prices.
