Someone's jumping the gun here...
The game is 100% complete without the cards though

Yeah, it is (aside from building houses for special villagers), but it's soured me on the whole thing. It's more the principle of the thing and how I feel about the overall package now.
I'm still going to buy the game and a few packs at first because it looks like a lot of fun, but if I see after a month or so the prices for the cards aren't coming down then they can frankly go swivel. I'd love to complete that gorgeous looking album, but I also need to not be stupid with my money.
There we go http://store.nintendo.co.uk/amiibo/animal-crossing-amiibo-cards-pack-series-1/11155586.html £3.49 a pack. That's far more tolerable than the prices ShopTo, GAME and Amazon are charging

Remember that there is a £2 delivery, so 3 packs will be about the same price as game are selling them for.

Yep, indeed, it totally sucks if you want to collect them all. So I'm going in with the mindset that I will be happy enough with just a few packs.

Game just added a pre order bonus with the Super mario maker bundles:
A set of special pins.
Heres the link
Surprisingly they are cheaper than Nintendo store UK

Every copy comes with the art book.

You could not buy the game without the artbook if you wanted to.

All versions of Super Mario Maker come with the booklet, so don't worry about that!

I'm subscribed to a trader's website, and you can buy that shirt from there. It'll be in your local GAME/Foribdden Planet soon.

hmm, so if you buy 6 packs in one go you will get free postage.

I wouldn't, you still have to get series 2, 3 AND 4 aswell...

no, thats exactly how I feel and a fair few others, as for the card prices, over a £1 a card, not touching them at all, and way back when, I thought of getting the cards rather than the amiibo, glad i didnt stick with that idea
I've been out of the Amiibo loop since wave 4, but I checked out the all the waves since april and lawd, I still want/need Charizard/Ganondorf/Olimar/Zero Suit Samus/Dr Mario and Bowser Jr. A whole lot of cool ones released while I wasn't looking :/ Guessing most of these have become hard to find as well.

Not really hard to find, have a peek at the Nintendo store.
Just a very early look of something I'm trying to put together for GAF..
Looking good!

Looks cool. If you finish it, it should be an awesome tool for the community. Will you be adding the figures too, even if only to show what people have/want, not necessarily want to trade?
A new device shipping later this week will allow Amiibo owners to upload character data from other users onto their figures.
The Amiiqo is primarily being sold as a backup device for Amiibos. This is potentially useful as each figure is only able to hold the data for one game at a time, although that doesn’t prevent them being recognised by any compatible title.
However, Eurogamer reports that Amiiqo will also be able to upload character data obtained from other users on the internet. Via this method users will be able to access extra content already unlocked on whatever profile they have uploaded.
It will even allow figures to trick games into thinking they are other figures that the user doesn’t actually own.
Amiiqo is currently available to pre-order for £49.75 and comes pre-loaded with the data for ten figures. Up to 200 figures can be stored in total. Users will need an NFC-equipped Android device to operate it.
The Action Replay device already exists, but what makes this one interesting is that it is claimed you can emulate any existing Amiibo without actually owning it.

Grabbed Olimar and Dr Mario today. Man, Olimar is definitely one of my favorites. His strut, the Pikmin, the detail on his suit... Just a great figure. My wishlist is reduced to Charizard, Ganondorf and Dedede.
Top 5 of my collection:
1) Bowser (SSB edition)
2) Toon Link
3) Olimar
4) Pit
5) Mega Man

Yeah it seems to be nothing special, surprised no one made an app for it.
Apparently, spoofing the protocol Nintendo used (Mira) is hard, especially with the NFC used in a phone which uses a completely different technology.
Ah thought it was probably protocol, guess you do need an external device then. At some point I really should see the differences in standards (was thinking of trying to get the reader cheap and hack to work with PC - but if not compatible with phones not so much point)

Really wanna preorder Falco, Ryu and Mewtwo but not on wasteman sites like Game or Shopto. Come on Nintendo Store, hurry up, take my coins.
It's not
Meta Knight was up at a local store, so I nabbed it. Another great looking figure. And amazon.de have Charizard and Dedede at normal prices... both bought.
