And are you guarenteed to get a special character in a pack? I'm just trying to establish if you can cap the amount of cash your willing to spend on 100 cards, and ensure obtaining each character through trading.
Which totally skews how much you would need to spend on packs of 3. There'll be an abundance of "specials" on the trading scene. Super lame.

I need that display.Ooh, the GamesCom display has Mewtwo.
Right now I just have the Amiibo standing in their plastic shells (with the backs removed) bundled up in a remote corner of my gameroom. I don't want to invest in a case, or a shelf, or some gimmicky stands, until I have an idea of how many Amiibo will be released alltogether.
It would be awful to buy a display, only for it to not have enough room to fit new Amiibo in
Hundreds, and that's not including the Amiibo cards.
Buy standard shelves and just compartment them into groups like all the Smash Bros ones together, all the Animal Crossing ones etc. If you're waiting for the end of the whole Amiibo line then you'll be waiting a long time. Don't see Nintendo dropping this venture any time soon.
Mewtwo Amiibo release date is 23.10.

cheers mate
For the Animal Crossing cards, in addition to Amazon's £6.26:
ShopTo added the cards at £5.85
GAME added at £4.99 or £12.99 for 3 packs
That's a horrific markup. Japan gets them for 300 Yen which is equivalent of £1.55. ShopTo is almost 4 times that. Amazon is 4 times that. GAME is just over 3 times that.
I'd understand and accept it being at £3 a pack due to rip-off Britain, but this is ridiculous

there's no way I can possibly afford to complete the entire book/album thing if the prices are going to be like that. Hopefully the prices will come down pretty sharpish if not many people buy them at these shocking prices.CanUKlehead

Cheers, pre-ordered.
Can import 3 packs + delivery cost from Japan for the price of a pack of one on Amazon. Granted it won't be next day, but still.
Just saying.
Only skin deep though

Because it's run by TheHut Group and all their stores work like that.

I only want to get one but which? Classic Mario or modern colors? ugh can't decide...
For what it's worth, I find the modern colours a bit jarring with the 8 bit Mario - the sepia tone fits it better I think.

Nope, they will probably still sell out. As much as I want to buy and collect them, I can not buy at that price.

They are both. There's a physical switch.

currently, they are only being sold as part of the Game Starter p-ack for wii/wiiu/3ds. If you see the pictures for those, THATS what it will be packaged like.
There is currently no seperate versions going to be sold.

Went to my local TRU today as I wanted to pick up a Charizard. There were no Charizards this time round, but there was last time, but instead picked up Greninja since Charizard wouldn't fit as well on my display anyway, and he's priced higher than Charizard usually. I don't see 'zard being toooo hard to find if I want him a later date.
What was even more shocking was that for the first time ever I saw Rosalina(s) out on the displays also, at normalish RRP. I already went with the import route months ago, but yeah, if anyone needs a Rosalina and wants me to pick them one up HMU.
They also had Robin, Toad, and Lucina as well I think. But yeah, finally, Rosalina in stock, and at a reasonable price.

Surely 50 would be more fitting? [One hundred and] 51 is Mew's number after all.
Also funny that the alts and DLC all seem to be positioned in a way to work better with Amiibos (standing on two feet etc) and yet Mewtwo still ends up with a support.
Failed clone indeed.

Lol this is just Animal Crossing. Imagine the Super Mario or Pokemon album.On October 2nd, a special folder will come out that contains slots for all 100 Animal Crossing cards from Series 1. Don't know if there will be folders for Series 2 through 4 but wouldn't be surprised

It's a character standing on two thin and somewhat long legs. There's really no way around it.
Well that sucks.

Just changed it. £30 for both the amiibo and the game is a steal! still £35 is still an okay price for anyone else out there.

Also, Super mario modern is also up: http://www.game.co.uk/en/8-bit-supe...cm_mmc=Twitter-_-Digital-_-amiibomario-_-Link
That's not the same one as in the bundle, right?

Nope, the one in the bundle is the Classic colors.

At £15 they can feck off. I'll wait and try and snag him on Nintendo's site or in store, since the more recent wave has been easier to find.

At 60p a card, I am OK with collecting, at £1.95 it's a no go.

Even thinking about not getting the game at all now, despite loving the idea. Blech.

It would be really funny if Europe had stacks of cards unsold, whilst NA and japan keep selling out. Maybe then they would change their strategy for the second wave

its funny how in less than a year Nintendo has created great hype for amiibo and then destroyed said hype by flooding the market with so many amiibo and now these cards
