Nintendo just announced a new series of amiibo cards (series 5)

[your local goomy]

Aziz. Please. Bring back Aziz. I want my blue lion boy

 

[Serabee]

I really hope that a new series means that old forgotten villagers are coming back as well. It would be a very small pack if it only contained the 8 new villagers and the new NPCs. I could also see them printing new cards for the villagers that were introduced through the RV set of amiibo cards.

Oh, yah! That would make sense. And I'd love another chance to get a Julia card~
I think it's a safe bet that there will be more than just the new villagers in the series, since as you said, it'd be a small pack otherwise. But the real question is who else will be added!

Gosh, I hope it doesn't turn into another Sanrio Card mess.

I mean, I imagine they'll be hard to get initially. But, like I said, since the other four series all have villagers that can be "traded", I don't know why this pack would be different. If they were releasing a "super awesome totally exclusive" pack, I'd be nervous. But I imagine there will be less drama over these if the villagers can be traded, and I think they'll be able to be.

Aziz. Please. Bring back Aziz. I want my blue lion boy

Since he was my first BF in the original AC, I agree

I didn't catch this part of the direct. Going to assume series 5 is all the new comers. Would be cool to get a pack, but we all know scalpers suck wet farts and will ruin it for all of us.

 

[kayleee]

yesss I'm ready to start collecting these cards again

 

[Moritz]

If old villagers come back, I really want this guy
He would go perfect with Megan

 

[Miss Misty]

Hopefully series 5 will include the NH villagers, and hopefully Nintendo gives us a nice big rollout so there's a good surplus of cards to avoid the scalpers (or at the very least that the amiibo duplicators on etsy can get their hands on them before the scalpers buy them all rofl)

 

[AccfSally]

I just hope my missing baby, Viche is one.

If not, maybe Kit

My theory is that this will be another 100-count series, including:

8 new New Horizons villager
50 Welcome Amiibo RV villagers released as regular Amiibos
17 special villager cards as is tradition (a new Isabelle, Tom Nook, and T&T. Wilbur, Orville, CJ, Flick, Daisy Mae, Gullivarrr, Harvey. That makes 11, I'm not sure who else would be added off the top of my head, maybe a second Blathers? Lloid? Is there a new character I'm forgetting?)
That makes 75, which means there are 25 spots left for new/returning villagers. My top hopes - Woolio, Rio, Faith, Sunny, and Sven.

 

[Rosch]

Considering that each series has 100 amiibo cards, then I guess it is safe to assume that Series 5 will have 100 cards as well. Here's a list of all the characters that have no amiibo cards. I'd like to think that the RV cards are separate:

Real talk though, if they add the RV villagers and make it so only those cards work and not the originals, I'm gonna be hella mad.

This is why I am honestly not happy about this. I’d normally be happy to collect them but the mess with the sanrio packs left a bad taste not to mention that poster patch timing right when the amiibos got rereleased. I only got a pack thanks to a friend (I am still very grateful ). I am hoping if they don’t run out right away, my mom will let me get some since I still don’t have a job unfortunately.. Was honestly hoping they were done with releasing amiibos.

sweet, now can ya'll reprint series 4?

fwiw, I'm pretty sure the sanrio packs were meant to be a limited distribution

so I'm a tad more confident that this will be decently reasonable to grab

 

[JKDOS]

I mean, series 5 could easily include the new New Horizons villagers, as well as the new New Horizons NPCs, such as Flick, Daisy, CJ, the Dodo birds, etc

 

[LambdaDelta]

though also, I wonder what the designs on these card faces will look like

like obviously the series 1-4 cards had some stuff that was clearly meant for the amiibo festival game, plus villager models being updated for nh and all compared to nl

best news here though is now people have to stop calling the welcome amiibo set series 5

 

[smoky]

STOP

ive bought 40 packs this week i can only handle so much

I might have misinterpreted the question but I'm I was able to scan Tybalt, Tasha, Dobie, and Buzz just fine. All of them are RV villagers and they have stayed on my island for a long time.
