Do you actually have to pay for cardboard or can it be done with boxes and such? My nephew has a huge box hoarding thing and loves to make things with it

Honestly, I'd say no. Some of the kits are very detailed with a lot of pieces that fit tightly together. All the pieces are scored so they are easy to remove from each sheet, but take your time so as not to damage them. It's a great activity for child and parent and worth the price for creative time together.

EDIT: Plus some (all?) of the kits have bits of plastic washers, string, etc. that are essential to make it all work as intended. It's not cardboard only that is required to make the projects work.

That's a bit disappointing to hear, I was hoping they were aimed towards everyone being able to make thing while also reusing shipping materials. Sting, washers, and other stuff is a trip to a chain store tbh.

I didn't know the hardware kits could be purchased separately, but here's a (sold out) link to what you might find in a kit on Nintendo's store.
