Amazon has put the Animal Crossing amiibo cards up for preorder

Amiibo collections, prepare yourselves: Amazon have opened preorders on Animal Crossing: Happy Home Designer cards.

Orders are currently limited to four packets per person. They ship outside North America, but shipping prices aren't cheap (trying to order four packets to Australia, for instance, will set you back about AU$33).

Each packet contains six cards, which can be scanned into Animal Crossing: Happy Home Designer, allowing you to interact with the character depicted on the card. The cards release on September 25, alongside the game.

While these cards may not inspire quite so much fervour as the figurines themselves, it's still likely that they will sell very well. Nintendo have sold seven million amiibos since November 2014.

If you're planning on sticking with the figurines, the Retro 3 Pack is due out on the same day.

Thanks, Destructoid.
