Kid Icarus Uprising - AR card collecting

[chibilolli]

^ How have you managed to get 100+ cards so fast? From Club Nintendo?

Bares worth mentioning I've not seen any way of getting the 24 preorder pack in the UK at all, and that bares 2 exclusive cards, Power of Flight & Medusa.

It was a GAME pre-order bonus here in France, and as I don't think GAME UK were stocking Kid Icarus (at least it was never on their website), that could explain why it wasn't available anywhere in the UK. I now have two copies of the game (one in English, one in French) due to this pre-order bonus

[Pheelon]

nah got some additional pre-order packs - some store sold some after the game was released.
ordered some from club nintendo too - but well those take ages to arrive...

as for game.co.uk - true they originally had it listed, but all pre-orders got cancled ~2 weeks prior to release....

Sadly Pheelon just an hour before you appeared i bought an over price preorder pack on ebay from germany, so i'm getting those 2 exclusive cards plus over 22 more random ones. But if you have so many of those exclusive ones then your going to be anyone in the UK's best friend

[Welshwuff]

I've moved all the infomation to the first post and have simplified it. I'll update the more we learn!

[Pheelon]

ahh well too bad.

additional Info:
all starter-cards except Pit can be in Boster packs. (had like all of those other 19 afaik - not sure on First Blade but will check)
Event Pack 1 features 403 - Pit (Rally Cry) - not yet released in any form in Europe yet but some Greeks got them due to a mix-up in their local Nintendo branch.

btw US - @gamer = 403 Pit (Rally cry) not 001- Pit

the Guide Book there comes with 25 - Three Sacred Treasures, 75- Aether Ring and 356-Killer Eye

Can't wait when the cards come in from Nintendo! Will be nice to get a bit of trading going on!

[aazdogg]

going to order a few packs with my spare nintendo points

Edit: Ordered 8 packs

[Welshwuff]

still waiting on my 34 packs to arrive, ive been fortunate so far not to get a single double in the 36 cards i got so far, and ive got 200 plus on the way too, but whats gonna happen after that, even if i manage to get a different card every time im still going to be less than 200 short D: Could someone with an abundance of cards be that kind as to help others out somehow?

Also just bought Pandora's Tower and the last story for wii so i'll be getting another 4 packs when those arrive too. :3

depends what an abundance is - got ~190 of the EU Cards yet + some US/JP "Fillers" for some not yet released ones (14, 75, 126, 403, 404, etc...) and what kind of help you want

btw there are ~220 to 225 EU cards available through different means atm and if i had to guess most of the missing ones (Forces of Nature + corresponding weapons, Hades, Mystery, Foods and the different Stages) will be in "Series 2" packs...

The May edition of Official Nintendo magazine in the UK includes a "Promo pack 1" packet of 6 cards. As far as i can figure, only 1 card is guaranteed to be in the packet, number 025, "The three treasures", the other 5 are random, also the magazine says there are "Exclusive cards only available in ONM", but i think that just counts for number 25 as the rest are just random. either way, finally there's at least one source for obtaining cards (but at £4 a magazine its barely worth buying more than 1 issue, plus the guaranteed duplicates of 25).

I'm from Spain, and April's Nintendo magazine here had this Promo pack 1, I bought 38 magazines at 3,50€, but I think it was worthy, the problem is that those random cards are restricted to 250 cards of the 407 more or less, and you can not obtain the exclusives such as power of flight in them. I hope that Nintendo Club packs have the 150 that they did not distribute right away. I'm waiting 54 packs from Nintendo.
edit: I checked again and at the moment you can obtain up to 233 (if you add those exclusives cards and I'm not wrong xD) and there are 174 that can not be obtained right now.

hmm, if you need Power of Flight and/or Medusa(Battle) - np can help you with that - got any cards double on my need list per chance?
edit: ups got a pm from you already

and well if those packs contain more than the "initial card-pool" well we'll see...

[Batossai]

Thanks but I have them, I've got all the european exclusives except for 403 and I would get one in the following weeks. I'm trying to collect up to those that we can collect right now. But the Nintendo packs probably will have those 233 cards so you will have to buy series 2 (if you registered the game they send you a survey about if you were interested in buying Kid Icarus packs with 6 cards at 1€), but it's just a guess. I'm waiting 54 packs, for god's sake I hope they are not just those 233 or I'll have thousands of repeated cads.

i hear ya - sitting at just ~ 200 atm incl. some trades maybe closer to like 215 - and well there aren't many promo exclusives for the EU atm - just 004, 025, 027, and 403 (though not really available) - US/JP got us there - well we'll see when and how they are gona be distributed.

and as for doubles - well got "enough" myself - actually thinking about building a 2nd Set atm /o\

Hello!

I am a Kid Icarus card collector from the U.S. and I just wanted to contribute some info for U.S. collectors

It seems like the in-game 6 out of 20 cards do not come in the Series 1 Booster packs.

All of those cards have an additional serial number on the bottom right of the card, as well as being slightly thinner.

The 6 out of 20 cards have two serial numbers.

The Standard: AKDE-###
and the Additional: CXA(001-020)-CTR-AKDE-USA

On the topic of trading; and U.S. traders with an extra 'First Blade', let me know

[Pheelon]

a yeah by the by - the other 2 US Prima Guide Cards are 074 Exo-Tank and 029-Hades

[Welshwuff]

whoo this is starting to get alittle confusing for me, do people mind adding me on skype so we can talk more fluently about this? mine is welshwuff

I'm in Japan at the moment, and today I found a shop in Nakano Broadway which sells the Choco Snacks! Only bought two packs to start off with, and unfortunately I didn't get any of the "specials". Just read about the Famitsu Mag "specials" on the first page though, so I'm going to try and hunt down a copy if it's not too late. I really want to go for full EU and JP sets, if I can

hmm, the choco snacks feature 20 different cards - some are in the magazines though.
if you can get the Guide you have 24, Famitsu 217 = 6, The DS & WII Mag = another 8 (incl. Cherubot), Nintendo Dream has another 6.

though whats a lil bit anyoing is that those all share some cards --> you will have doubles.

here some ebay links for those mags:

^ Wow, people on eBay want stupid prices for those magazines!!! Many thanks for the info, gonna see what I can next time I go to Nakano Broadway and Akihabara.

I was going to ask you a question about all your card doubles. Are you only interested in swapping them for other cards, or would you eventually be interested in selling them?
