Not as a replacement, for sure. But they'd be a nice addition.

Regarding amiibo cards, it's nice to know that there will be alternative methods to unlocking content associated with the figurines once the figurines are no longer available. Plus, maybe I'm interested in the functionality associated with a particular amiibo, but don't like the figurine itself -- allowing me to unlock that content without (hopefully) having to spend $15.

Case in point, when I tapped my Captain Falcon amiibo on my Gamepad today to unlock his racing suit in Mario Kart 8, I thought, "Man, it'd be cool to have the Fox and Samus suits as well," but I'm not interested in either of those figures. An even better example may be the Spinner item unlock in Hyrule Warriors that's associated with the Link amiibo, which is a figure I really don't think looks that good. I'd love to have that item, but not for $15. Amiibo cards could be a very nice solution to such things.

I've got almost zero interest in cards as a replacement for figures. I'm solely collecting amiibo because they look awesome. At this point I don't even care about their functionality, so a card would seem pretty useless.

My thoughts as well. Besides, I've already collected enough cards with Pokémon - which I mean to eventually complete, at least the WOTC Promo and Base through Gym Challenge sets.

I too, have a ton of Pokemon cards. No complete sets though, unfortunately.

Now I have an extra pit in hand and an extra captain falcon coming in the mail.  I will trade either one for a little mac.

It might be rough, man. I've only seen a single Little Mac in the wild.

It seems that Pit is selling for more than little mac on ebay. If nobody bites I can just sell it on there and buy little mac with the money I get for it i guess.

I have a spare Little Mac that I can trade for a Pit.

Just know that I don't intend to keep them in the original packaging, and I do plan to open them (otherwise, what's the point in having them?) and use them. My spare Little Mac is still in packaging though. :)

Thats okay because I open all of mine too. If you want to trade we can and we dont have to worry much about the packaging getting ruined from the shipping. The one I have to trade is in the package still too.

Thanks but I live in north america and I'm sure it'll be cheaper to try to find them here rather than import. Thanks for looking out though good sir!

It coasted me $40 to order 2 Amiibos from them, Shipped.  Shipping is only $5 or so.

I have a spare Lucario and Meta Knight, My only Roselina, and 2 Marths from them.

BTW @ Hoverboots, they shipped.  ;)

Thanks for the trade. You should receive pit in the mail Friday.  Now I only need to score the two pre orders and I'll have a complete set.   ;D ;D

They are sold out, all 4 exclusives are. I might have a spare Lucario if TRU reinstates my preorder.
As i said, GAME.CO.US, it will cost you around $40 shipped for both. Not that bad of a mark up from $28+Shipping.
