Nintendo’s Animal Crossing: Happy Home Designer amiibo cards are an unusual thing. After all, we’ve only seen figures until now. The Skylanders, Disney Infinity, Super Smash Bros and even Lego Dimensions toys have all occupied valuable desk and shelf space in our homes. They’ve become dual-purpose collectibles. Yes, they make a game more interesting, but isn’t it cute how the Wii Fit Trainer looks like she’s using Dive-Clops to maintain her balance?

We know a lot of things about these amiibo cards, despite the next wave of money stealers only having made their Japanese debut on July 30, 2015. There’s the fact that they’ll work with both Animal Crossing: Happy Home Designer and amiibo Festival. They’re affordably priced, with three cards costing ¥300. A whopping 100 of them are going to be released in that first wave, which means trolling eBay for people’s dupes will be the most cost effective method of collecting.
