Can't believe I found this guy, he was the hardest to find in the wave - I was thinking I missed out. I think it was just put on the shelf at Kmart because the shelf packers were in the isle putting new stock in. Now I might have to get Grimlock if he gets released down here later this year.

Way better than the normal Vehicon!

Nice, I'm still on the hunt for him. Adds some fun to it though.. I guess :P

What do the playing cards look like?

Just your standard 4 suit 54 playing cards (2 jokers), not sure if every single card has different characters as I really dont want to open them.

Quick google search found me these:

One of my colleagues at work heard that i like transformers, and gave me a pack of playing cards (sealed) from 2002

Cool! I have the Megatron version ones.

A lot of people collect collectable cards (e.g. baseball cards, footy cards etc.) in those special collectable card folder sleeves that are designed to protect and preserve collectable cards and display them in ring-bind folders. I do it with all my TF cards and collectable-card-sized tech spec cards (I wish the BotCon exclusive toys' tech spec cards were that size ). You can also get individual card sleeves to put on the card and then insert it into the protective folder sleeve for double-protection (you can put the sleeve on 'upside down' so that when you insert it into the folder sleeve, it's virtually airtight).

I actually have a set of Beast Wars cards completely sealed... but that's a spare set. I got two sets; one set which I've kept sealed, and the other is housed in sleeves in a ring bind folder. And tbh, I get far more enjoyment out of opened display cards than the loose ones. Having one set sealed is purely a novelty... but I don't get any direct enjoyment from the cards themselves, since I can't even see or touch them. Could be a small weight inside the box for all I know.

Went to Myer Parra today and found some BH figs, got me Lazerback, Twinstrike, Airachnid, Smokescreen. Shame I missed the promo sale but then, I didn't want to get the other figures there anyways.

Also picked up my TF comics from PZ. pics later.

They made Beast Wars Cards? Care to show me what ones you're talking about ?

Aside from neat images, it also provides information about the characters, such as their height and weight (e.g. Dinobot is 2.9m tall and weighs 1.7t). It was also the first canonical source to definitively provide a name for the Predacon ship as the Terror Crasher. About 2 years later the N64 Transmetal game referred to the ship as the "Darksyde" (which had already been a long standing fan name amongst Anglophone fans anyway, but the game gave it official currency). This is the sort of cool stuff that I personally feel that I'd be missing out on if I'd kept a set of collectible cards sealed.
