Help - Animal Crossing "Ribbot"

[LifeInAHamsterWheel]

Really need some help am out of my depth on this! DD has a Switch Lite and is obsessed with plays Animal Crossing. She has asked Santa for a "Ribbot Amiibo Card" but I can't find it? I have bought a pack of Amiibo cards off Amazon but I don't think Ribbot is in there! Does anyone know where I can buy it or does it even exist?!

You can buy individual ones on eBay. They are not strictly legit, but work just the same.

There’s one on eBay right now, if that’s any help

You can order any animal crossing amibo cards from ebay, or you can go one step further and buy the blank rfid cards yourself, download an app and create your own. I bought a couple then ended up buying my own black cards to make all the characters I wanted.
On ebay some charge a few pence now to have a sticker off the character on the card etc.

A few pence more to have a sticker of the character*

Thanks so much, I'm heading to eBay now!

Could somebody explain to me, like I'm a complete idiot, what Amiibo cards do? DD has a switch lite and LOVES Animal Crossing but I have no idea what these are/do! Thank you!!

I got it! I never would have thought of eBay, thank you

@TokyoSushi from what I understand, they are tiny little cards that represent characters. Using the console you scan the card and the character is then part of your game/world. That's as much as I know, hope it helps!!

Ooh I might get one for DD, thank you!

Yay! So glad you got it!

Characters appear in the game either randomly (at the camp site or on islands), or you can invite them IF you have their amibo card.

So if you like a particular character and really want them on your island but they never show up randomly you can use the amibo to invite them to the campsite them from there to the islands to live.

You do have to do a task for them and repeat inviting them and doing a task 3 times before they actually decide to stay though.
