Hmm, I was going to snark back, but the box confirms it. I wonder if I could have walked over there and got it myself.

The Klownhole card presented challenges, for some reason.
We also have more like 80 entries instead of 12. Will that link to the store with packs for $4,99 include updates or do we have to wait?

Glad to hear you guys are getting you cards already! Edits are made in real time, i.e., next pack ordered includes them, American Jeff. And sorry for the typo, fluffy, I am pretty sure I lower-cased your name , but I will check. I assume that's what you are scowling about. Luck of the draw, Paco, that's amazing!

So here's a question: I thought it would be fun to do these as trading cards, i.e. random decks, but I am feeling bad that not everyone is going to be as lucky as Paco. Should I also offer a full deck?

No, I got two sets of random cards as well, whole lot of pictures of me and some others, missing a ton of folks. I like the idea of trading, but I also like the entire set thing. Split.

Both options? I really would rather have full decks. Maybe offer them after the Live fight? Just let us know when you are gonna do it?

If others could report on what you got, that would be helpful. They are supposed to be random. Weird that Paco got several of himself...

I'll order some - but might be better to get them sent to the US.

If someone who is going to SF Live wants to PM me a postal address - they can collect them for me and give them to me when I arrive

Ha, I didn't even notice the missing "t".

And the "phone me" comment was an ET "phone home" reference. Because the smiley I used is touching his own finger tips. Image ...phone me? *taps mic* is this fucker on? :P

Oh, and have fun in le' frawn'say. You know what they call French food in France? .....food. :?

Here's what I got between two sets. While doubles would make sense, some were paired up in the same set, just can't remember which ones. Obviously, if there are triples, more than one came in a set. Guess I was surprised, is all. I would definitely purchase entire sets. But when I posed for my wonderful picture (!) I had a hard time deciding which pose to send in. What if different runs had different pictures or powers? Don't know if that's a good idea, just an idea.

Well here's the deal. There were 58 cards available, not including the index card. Each set contains 17 of these. I checked with the manufacturer, and there is no exclusion rule in the randomization, so your chances of getting any one card are the same 17 times. It's like heads or tails. The chances are the same every time you flip the coin. This means that duplicates are inevitable. The chances of duplication will only be reduced by having more cards, and I added two more recently. Keep sending!

I will allow a full set to be purchased when we get to 90 cards. This will probably not happen until after Song Fight! Live this year.

Different poses, yes. Different powers, no. Otherwise Aquaman would just decide he shoots webs out of his wrists, or have the ability of flight.
Then Aquaman would be all, hey Superman, we can just pick new powers any time we want. Now I can fly around the world like you, do you want to have some of my powers, bro? And Superman would be all, haha, no man, I'm good. :P

Ok, Spud, thanks.

Chrispy: Aquaman, really? Sure, his powers are good, if limited. Speaking of superheroes, they are releasing the entire Batman TV series in November. Ka-Pow!

Yep. Sounds like it's all good though. Thanks!

What about the entry date and fight count?
