I've only just started collecting these after the announcement. Whilst I'm not constrained financially (bedrest is phenomenal for saving money, just fyi..), I *am* restricted in both time and effort that I can spend trying to track particular cards down. I have family and friends I can dispatch to look for stock but there are SO many cards to get.. there's only so many times I'll be willing to send my sisters off looking for more cards to buy or people to trade with.

So I'd been planning to turn to gumtree and then eBay to finish off the albums. I'd known there was a thriving little swap/sell market for these cards, I just didn't think it would affect me at all! I guess I should start looking to get the albums complete sooner rather than later. Especially as so many places around me are selling out of their remaining stock. Gah! I don't even know where to start right now. At least I got all the amiibos, so that's one thing ticked off of the "to do" list!

EBay is the best place for cards. I bought all my favorites for anywhere from $0.50-$4. NPC cards go for a few bucks more but normal villager cards go for about $1.50. Any more than that is a ripoff. The series 4 cards were a bit higher ($3) when they first came out but that's settled down now.

The only cards worth a fortune are Isabelle cards. I couldn't find anyone who had a price less than $10. Here's hoping she doesn't unlock anything special.
 
Anyone else foreseeing this as a precursor to shutting down the ACNL server? Looking to the future I see this as a way to get different villagers because you can't go online anymore.

Does this mean that the special characters from HHD can be added into your town? because thats cool! I need to start recollecting these and playing HHD

and yeah, bye bye VTP and all cycling threads. Unless they are free

Future proofing I'm sure, but I don't think the 3DS is on the way out just yet but I could be wrong given the "leaked" specs of the NX.

Special characters would be cool, Isabelle needs a home.

I, personally, think that Amiibos are a waste of money. But, then again, they're sort of like the e-cards for the GBA and Gamecube. I don't know; I have had a Wii U since March of 2013 and I don't have any amiibos, even though I have games that are compatible like NES Remix and Mario Kart 8.

I heard you mention something about using Amiibo cards to have villagers move into your town that haven't actually appeared in New Leaf yet. I think that this would actually be pretty awesome. My top two favorite villagers, Leopold and Meow, and some others like Stella, Hornsby, Bea, Paolo, and Twirp were only available prior to Animal Forest E+. As a matter of fact, Meow was only available in AF E+. If they made an Amiibo card for Meow, I would die for it. The only thing is, would these villagers not be able to move to other towns? They would probably only move to someone's town if they scanned the card with that particular villager on it.

With this update, they should let people choose where villagers move in. I think that sometimes, plot reseting can be a long, difficult process, especially when you want the villager to move into a *specific* spot. Idk, they probably won't do it.

Also, with the villagers, if they released a plush amiibo for every one, I would end up splurging all my money on plushies of my favorite villagers. ^^"

I really hope what you said in the second paragraph is true. It really doesn't make much sense to just add the Splatoon sisters. They should bring back all of the e+ villagers.
 
What personalities do people reckon the new amiibo characters are? Imao, here are my choices:

Callie is definitely peppy and Marie is definitely uchi.

Mario is Jock, and so is Luigi.

I'll edit this later :)

It's hard, but I'd say that they were jocks cuz of their energetic personality and "can do" attitude

But... Even if you scan a Mario or a Luigi Amiibo, they won't move into your town. I believe you'll get special furnitures based on them.

I believe they were just talking if we were to get new villagers based on other Nintendo characters. Y'know, aside from Callie and Marie.
 
I have Leif's card and would love it if the SC cards let you play with the character! Let's go to the island Leif. :p
 
I personally am very excited for this update! It makes my hunt for a Frita Amiibo card even more of an incentive. I'm also wondering if they're going to be adding any additional updates to the game that they're not telling us about, like maybe being able to decorate like in HHD but I dunno. At the same time though even though I'm excited I'm a tad confused, ACNL is a 3 year old game, shouldn't they be spending the effort making the newest addition to the series? Or are they planning on not making another major game. Overall though many good feelings for this update :lemon:
 
I saw some people say they want a higher villager limit, I really don't want that because I want lots of space for landscaping because all my towns are dense forests and more villagers in town would get rid of some of that space.
 
My original plan was to get the Amiibo cards for the villagers in my oldest town, but now I'm doubting I'll do that. I mean, this town is over three years old, and as unhappy as I am with the map and my stupid placement of perma-PWPs, I kinda don't want to reset now.

But this update will probably entice me to pick up a fourth cartridge.
