Thread: Boxed Sets Getting Reprints?

  1. #1

    Default Boxed Sets Getting Reprints?

    Any word on boxed sets & cards getting reprints or will this game now exclusively be a miniatures game?

    I know I had the card game only for about 4 weeks before I decided to dive in with the minis...

    I think there's a vibrant market for the card game still, but at the same time I don't know how profitable that market is so it's hard to comment as an outsider.

    I've not heard from my sources on any thing about the card version of the game. I think at one time Andrea said that it would continue on as a card game though.

    It's just a great low price-point entree to the game system that I think it'd be a harder sell for the minis game if you couldn't hook people with the card game. Back when I was doing demos and product was on local shelves, I can tell you that it generated sales not for minis but for the card game even though minis were also available.

    I am actually buying more card booster packs now than ever, as I try to source cards for my repaints.
    Oh! Why are there no independent J decks? I'm fed up with having to buy Burning Drachens sets. Anyone wan't any Balloon cards free?

    Rob there is a simple answer to dealing with lack of J deck. Simply colour photocopy the deck (deck fits on to 2 x A4 sheets) laminate and then cut out.

    Thanks Alastair. I have a problem with that. I have all actual decks for my sets of aircraft, and although it makes no sense, as I do have Max's and Gunners' aircraft cards for the ones unobtainable, I have set this silly rule that I will always try to get official cards if they exist.
    Anyone want a bunch of Pfalz aircraft without decks or pegs?
    Rob.

    Kyte, I think I have a spare J deck I can send you. PM me your snail mail address and I'll have a look when I have access to my stuff tonight.

    That is very civil of you Paul. If I can repay you in any way I will be glad to . At the moment I have spare A and B damage decks if they are of any use.

    You already have my friend: I have a shiny, new Schassenberg card you sent last fall for my pseudo-Schassenberg repaint! Plus all the free advice and humourous comment you have contributed to the many posts I read.

    This is pretty cool. Another great idea is to get a nice top down shot of your paint schemes and overlay it on the blank card templates here. I've seen a few of those a while back and cannot remember who did it. The result was pretty awesome though.
