Remeber, collectibles are only worth what people will pay for
them. If you will pay a 100 quid for a card, then its worth that much
too all that possess it. They are not ripping us off, they are just
little gimmicks.

If you guys would abandon FASA for putting in only two plastic cards
instead of all six, you guys are pretty sad.

It seems to me like these little card thingies are just trinkets. Like the
Mechwarrior House Packets (now /those/ are a serious waste of cash)

Cards yes, but for a while there it looked like each box had a different set of
maps too, now that would be annoying.

Er, we didn't buy a packet of baseball card though, we (or they - I haven't,
Australia is always a tad behind in releases :-() purchased a sourcebox. If
we wanted to buy trading cards we would.

If they are of no real use to the sourcebox (as I take it they aren't - they
don't seem to conatain any real pertinent info), then I can't see what's wrong
with them, same as a picture really. But if they do contain useful material,
then I feel it is a bit of a rip off.

Hey, we are internet geeks, we have no life besides the internet (oh, and
sometimes SR). :-)

Thanks for the plug, but as everyone can see, there are still missing some
of the cards. If anybody have them, please scan and send them to me at
l-hansen@*****.tele.dk.
