Tech animal crossing cards were actual cards. Not the memory card bundled with the game. There were 3 or 4 series of cards that could be used in conjunction with the game.

Hey, look what I found.

Scanable data cards that add content to a game? The idea rings a bell somehow.

That is just a booster pack though.
Ideally we would be tracking all of the cards

I really have nothing to say. I know they will get added. Everything that has any game logo or name on it will be in the DB at some point. I have hardly been on the forums in months. You can tell by how long it has taken me to respond to it.
In my opinion the list of things to remove form the database is very long. I am liking my Excel spreadsheet now a days.

...what if these things were not part of YOUR collection tool, but someone else's? Would that suffice? I know I ask similar questions all the time, but allowing for customization of the collection tools is near the top of the list as you know.

I am for their entrance into the DB.
But they need to be in their own place.
In fact the whole lineup is submit incorrectly as WiiU when they are supposed to be be multiplatform

Oh damn, I forgot about that. I even brought it up before.

On a side note,when the time comes, remember that Amiibos still need to be under multiple consoles because the 3DS is also going to be compatible with them.

True. Was there a yes or no to adding "Data Figure" as a hardware Genre? I think that would group them all up in a nice, searchable way.

I still think they are going to filthy up wherever they are unless it is their own home.
I'd be most in favor of seeing a "Data Figure database". (Multiple databases is a dream i will never see realized.)
Select
Skylanders
Skylanders Giants
Skylanders Trap Team
Skylanders Whatever-Other-Line-They-Have
Amiibo
Amiibo Series 2
Disney Infinity
Disney Infinity 2.0
Obviouisly i don't know enough about any of them to give proper breakdowns. But it would make them optimally searchable for those who do want them in the collection tool and wouldn't fill up the Multiple Systems category.
Also since they have variants/reprints/etc and are bound to do so with future Series/Editions of each figure it would make it easier to identify.
BUT
Since i know it will never happen i guess...
UNLEASH THE FLOOD GATES!
Put them all in under Multiple Consoles.

The "Search Option" you're referring to is something I'd like to add globally, in an easy yet data intensive update of the database. Essentially, I'd like to have an "attribute" system that maps to information like "Game Series: Tomb Raider", "Environment: Post-Apocalyptic", "Data Figure: Amiibo", "N64: RumblePak Supported", or even the Genres, Subgenres, Ratings and other existing information so that we can index it and have it be properly searchable.
There's a ton of data we don't track that would be useful in the database, like finding out which games support the PlayStation Mouse as a controller, or which games support the PocketStation. Most of it is information we throw by the wayside since we don't track it, but it would be simple to add that information to a submission if we did.
