Animal Crossing Series 5 amiibo Cards Launch This November, 48 Cards Included

To get the Wisp card, you have to find 5 card pieces to put it together.

@CharlieGirl And only at night

More or less what I expected, but I thought that they would have added the Welcome Amiibo characters too (with standardised artwork) in order to bring the set to 100 cards.

And I also predict that Raymond will be the Charizard of amiibo cards.

I wonder how the Daisy Mae will work. Will the Nook kids still allow you to sell turnips the day you summon her? Also, love the new villagers. Shino is a devilish cutie!

There are FIVE sets of AC amiibo cards?!?

My question is, are the new villagers only Amiibo cards, or are they able to be gotten in game too?

@Luffymcduck : Six including the Welcome Amiibo set (which came out after Series 4), and seven if you count the Sanrio cards as a separate series (though that is comprised of only six cards).

@VoidofLight : All villagers have been accessible in game. They’re just easier to come by if you have the amiibo cards.

@Luffymcduck Technically, this is the 7th set. 1, 2, 3, 4, Welcome amiibo, Sanrio, and these.

@Silly_G Jinx!

@Silly_G Ah, so the new ones they're adding are coming in the update?

Well... I'm going to need to complete this set too!

@VoidofLight : That’s right.

@ActionNineNews There are limitations on the main character cards, you can't summon them and interact with them like you can if they turned up on your island. So you couldn't scan Redd from the earlier series and keep buying artworks. You're kinda limited to bringing them into Harv's Island to take a photo. Though the paid DLC will let you design a house for them too.

I want to see the other 15. So far I'm only interested in the robot octopus and the space tail squirrel.

Glad they are adding new villagers. Hope they aren't tied to the amiibo, though...

Finally my girl Megan gets an amiibo card!

"Hello, mum? Yes, I would like to take £20 from your bank account."

OMG they brought back Ace! ='D He was one of my very first villagers on AC GCN.

Could we maybe finally get a re-release of the binders for Series 1-4 now, please? It's great that the cards are available again from time to time, but we kinda need something to keep them in haha.

Hopefully we get another small set with the Welcome Amiibo characters like Medli, Viché, & Cece too.

At last Raymondo, you will be mine.

I have completed every series so far only because I traded with a bunch of people. But this series may be tough to do that.

Looking at the numbers, #425-448 are all Villagers and #401-422 look to be NPC cards since they tend to be grouped together. We can assume it is going to be 24 NPC and 24 Villagers.

Thing is you get 1 NPC card per pack with 5 villager cards (at least in the Americas). Which was never a problem before when you had 18-19 NPC cards and like 80 villagers per series. It you bought 100 cards in a given series, it was easy to trade NPC for NPC and villager for villager.

But with Series 5, if you get 8 packs to get 48 total cards to trade, everyone will have 8/24 NPCs and 40/24 villagers. So the series will be over saturated with villager cards and the NPC ones will be extremely rare in comparison. So oddly enough Raymond will be EXTREMELY easy to get with someone like Tom Nook being rare.

Funnily enough, Raymond will probably still sell for a lot on eBay despite having little over a 20% chance to get him from a single pack.

But those new cards will they be compatible with AC: Amiibo Festival island mini game where you gather food and survive in the wilderness?

Finally 1 to 5 series will squash scalpers. They are now sweating bullets and will have to sell for major losses. Now if they make enough of these we be good.

I was hoping for some updated villager cards, but I mostly just want a rerun of the card albums. They’re so hard to find!

I would be happy if this set included the crossover characters from Zelda, Splatoon, and Monster Hunter
