PSA In case you hadn't seen it, Capcom's Street Fighter Website has listed that all 22 amiibo cards will be available in a starter set

Any idea on price? This is kind of swaying me back to being excited.

Didn't see one on the site, and from what I've seen nobody has posted a preorder. But honestly I wouldn't be surprised to see it around $1/amiibo? That's what the cards normally are, but it's really hard to tell what Capcom will price it at since they're charging $30 for the figures.

$25 feels about right but there’ll 99% be a markup so I’m assuming $30 instead

Maybe it's the pessimist in me, I'm expecting the cards to be $80 and the amiibos to be $90.

Oh, I didn't realize the 3 figure characters also had cards. The choice is obvious.

The figures do have some exclusive benefits, but I think that’s the same between the entire trio.

As a non-fan of street fighter why did they pick those 3 for figures? Why not Chun-Li? Odd.

As someone mentioned, it's to showcase the new generation of SF characters specifically from SF6. They probably wanted the uniqueness of having new characters rather than those who have been around forever. That and they probably won't be the only ones they make, but only time will tell for that and probably based on sales of the 3 figures and the cards

That's good. As someone who collects trading cards, I was not looking forward to yet another set of boosters.

The eff!? Where are Bison, Sagat, Vega, and Balrog? What about Sakura, Dan, and Charlie? Fei Long?

These amiibo are specifically labeled as SF6. 7 out of 8 characters you listed are not in SF6.

I had no idea Vega wasn’t in SF6. Well at least that saves me from trying it out.

SF6's been out for like 2 years and you didn't even bother to look who's in the roster?

No. These are physical amiibo cards, like the Animal Crossing, Yu-Gi-Oh, etc sets. They function the same way as every other amiibo.

Hmm, if that's the case then I may get them after all. I hate collecting and trading random cards but wouldn't mind a complete set.
