I've got 30 at the moment and 60 more on order from Club Nintendo. If anyone wants to sell or trade send me a PM.

MySQL database, interactive web-based front-end built with PHP, AJAX and CSS3 and hosted on a local Apache webserver. I'm trying to put everything in my video game collection into this database; games, consoles, strategy guides, soundtracks, magazines etc etc etc. Currently working on adding all my pins & buttons, plushies & figurines are set to follow. At some level, you need something like this just to keep track of what you actually own... Edited by Mk II, Mar 29 2012, 09:43 AM.

The net is filled with examples of that sort of thing. You should be able to write your own MySQL queries after studying those examples for 1 or 2 hours. It really is VERY simple, i had to learn it "on the job", maintaining & expanding existing production code and i managed just fine And i can tell you that being able to program your computer is very rewarding in itself, never mind all the lovely things you can make it do.

I hope somebody uploads scans of all 60 cards so I can just use them from my computer screen hehe.

Newbie Posts: 37 Group: Members Member #764 Joined: February 23, 2012	There are a little over 400 cards to collect

Elite Posts: 4,493 Group: Staff (Ret.) Member #381 Joined: November 7, 2010	there are already more than 440 Kid Icarus cards as far as i know. getting them all will be nigh impossible, not helped by the fact that they are different across the regions. Already seeing some crazy prices on eBay but i reckon those will bottom out when more cards are available. Nintendo is thinking about selling them in shops, just like the Pokemon trading cards and that would be awesome. I'd buy at least one pack every day! Anyway, here are two cards to get you started BTW: ive noticed the 3DS AR scanner is triggered by the lower part of the cards... that swirly colour pattern on the left is different on each card. im sure thats the key Edited by Mk II, Mar 29 2012, 01:59 PM.

Holy cow... I must've misread your first post because I thought there were only 60. I guess I can pretty much give up on collecting every single card now.

Kick, Punch, It's all in the mind Posts: 2,532 Group: Legendary Member #55 Joined: January 3, 2007	I'm assuming the AR cards only work in the Kid Icarus game and not on the 3DS's AR option right?

That's What She Said Posts: 274 Group: Senior Members Member #752 Joined: February 13, 2012	Nintendo Power included a pack of 5 AR cards. I haven't gone through them yet so not sure which ones are included.

I never thought the AR cards would take of the way that they did. I am looking forward to the Wii U for these features, if they hold the interest of the GP.
