Why so much?

Nintendo's website sells these for half this price. Other store have them for like 2.99 a pack. Is this just one pack for this much? WHY?

The cards are fun, and if you like collecting stuff , which is kind of the point of this game, the cards make a nice extra collection also the lay the path to making your townsfolk truly happy. The shirts they wear on the cards are the shirts you should send them.

BUT as much as I love amazon, DO NOT BUY them here. This price is horrbly inflated for no apparent reason. Seriously Retail from nintendo's official site online store they are 3.29 per pack!

Interesting addition to the game, but what's with the price?

As of this writing (08/11/2003) the price of these cards on Amazon.com is almost double that in walk-in software stores and big-name superstores. That having been said, the packs are already too expensive in those locations.

The cards are a convenient way to scan in an item or two (or write a letter to your in-game "Friends" in exchange for a gift in the mail. Some rare, some VERY VERY common. Some of the cards also contain special patterns (for clothes and umbrellas) or town-tunes to replace the tune on the board outside the post office. They are fun to use, and a good way to get some "free" items in game, but for the most part they are not necessary.

One neat thing these cards add is the occasional GameBoy Advance-only mini-game. Tug-o-war, Fortune telling... Some of them offer some hidden codes to mail to the animals.

All in all these are merely a novelty. If they added something to the game that youo could not otherwise get, then they might be worth the hefty price tag. Do yourself a favor and either borrow some from a friend. Only buy these if you are really interested in starting a new card collection.

I would have given these 3 stars for their novelty, but the price here is attrocious.

Not worth the money

I had all of these cards, series 1+2. I scanned them all in, and I found it ruined my game. Items that would have had to work hard for, were automatically put in the game all by scanning a card. Some of the cards just put boring everyday objects into the game. You can go onto Ebay and get a bunch of the cards for maybe 10.00. The price is worth it on here, only if you're a collector.

But in my humble opinion, these cards made Animal Crossing boring, and too easy. I haven't played it since. If you're looking for the challenge of the game, don't bother with these cards.
