Animal crossing amiibo info thread/how I obtained every amiibo in 2024

[Revivers]

Thanks for everyone's help and info in this thread. I have completed my amiibo card collection minus the promo Isabelle and K.K. Slider cards (I mean there are already 6 Isabelle variants and 3 K.K. Slider variants in the main series...)

I'm going to repurpose this thread and archive it for anybody looking for amiibo info in 2024 that this could help. Furthermore I will always have alerts on in case anybody else responds here to ask any unanswered questions.

I don’t have any questions, but congrats on completing your collection! I too am starting to collect Amiibo cards as of 2024 and it really is rough. Nintendo really should have kept printing these.

I ended up going for European cards (I’m in Canada). They are Quite a bit more expensive than Japanese cards but I really want the cards in English and North American cards are even more absurd price wise. I also kinda like that the European cards have the character names in more additional languages to the North American cards. The birthdates are reversed to how we read/write dates here but as long as all my cards are formatted the same I don’t mind.

I ordered a European box of Welcome Amiibo cards (50 cards) for about half the price of the only single pack (6 cards) of North American WA cards that I could even find online. Yeah…

I’m definitely going the box route for the rest of the sets as well. The fact that boxes are better priced on average compared to individual packs and that the Japanese and European boxes (but not North American so even more of a plus for collecting non NA cards!) typically get you the entire set in a full box is a no brainer.

Other than paying more than I should have for a bunch of individual series 1 European packs that’s all I have so far. Boxes only from now on - I’ve learned my lesson.

Hey everyone! I haven't been collecting these cards for long, so sorry for the dumb question. I'm thinking of getting the Amiibo Festival cards, but I noticed the game they're bundled with comes in two variants. There's the box with the two Amiibo figurines and just the regular game case. Do they both come with the cards?

This thread made me realize they never rereleased the WA/RV amiibos. I'm surprised they didn't bother. Even if they handled it as poorly as series 5, they still would've made a profit on it. I'm guessing they never bothered since they couldn't just reprint they'd have to do redo since having them in RVs wouldn't make sense. But they could've just did it anyway, I'm sure not that many would complain. I'd probably buy a pack if I could find it.

The more I think about this, the more I do wish that maybe Nintendo does print the WA characters into Series 5 in the future- most likely when they release their next Animal Crossing game. It could give everyone the chance to collect every villager's amiibo while still keeping the sort of exclusivity the WA/RV cards have, and it feels a bit unfair to not have regular amiibo cards of every villager in ACNH. Plus numbers-wise it makes sense to add the WA/RV characters into Series 5 since there's 50 characters and whoever is the last card will be number 498 which almost perfectly rounds out the series.

This is the only Animal Crossing game I've played. Are there any characters who don't have amiibo cards?

Technically they all do, but 50 villagers have amiibo cards where they're in RVs as they were introduced in New Leaf's Welcome Amiibo update... well, they were re-introduced as they had been characters in Animal Crossing for the Gamecube. So for example, if you search up say someone like Maddie or Weber, they have RV amiibo cards compared to characters like Raymond or Audie whose amiibo cards are what I referred to as "regular".

Thanks! I was just wondering since there's been other games and it would suck if there were characters without cards.
