    I'm loving the Furies. I decided to spent ten bucs on cards, and got some simply awesome characters. Flamewar kicks Autobot butt!
    On the lookout for MISB Headmaster Highbrow, Takara or Hasbro. I'm sure I could make you a sweet deal!

    Yeah, I have been tempted to buy some good cards, but then I think 'Hey, I could spend that money on a real TF!' Although I spose if you are really into it and have the cash you might as well have some fun, so if people wanna buy the good stuff it's nice to have that option. Personally I'm still pretty chuffed I randomly got a Lvl 4 Ironhide this morning

    I would DEFINITELY spend money and buy these cards though if they came out in real life - maybe next time I am playing I'll put this in their suggestions box

    Absolutely. I've been 'playing' occasionally since January but haven't purchased any premium packs or ventured into the pyramid scheme that offers free currency if you download other games. Not only does the 'game' try to funnel you into paying for cards, but the cost of the microtransactions is practically extortionate (though probably on par with similar 'free' games).

    $1 for a chance at a randomrare card? $10 for 1 guaranteed random rare card and a chance at 14 others? It might be worth it if you could choose or they were all guaranteed rare but I've read stories of people who've bought premium packs and got nothing. Put simply, it's gambling - the game is a slot machine but the prize is pictures.

    It might almost be excusable if there was any actual game play. As it stands, the game is just to collect all the cards, preying, at least incidentally, on the "gotta get 'em all" collector mind set.

    With the way the events are structured, the only way to collect them all is to have been playing since launch and sunk a bucket load of money into power ups to stay in the top 100 or so in the event rankings. Anyone jumping on board now is out of luck, unless the previous events get repeated at some point in the future.

    Sorry this turned into a bit of a rant but it makes me really angry.

    TL;DR: Play the game if you like it but don't buy cards - look at them for free on the internet.

    I just randomly got a Flamewar card for free about an hour ago! She does kick butt! Only leveled her up a little and she is already my team captain ahead of those I have spent ages beefing up.

    Yea, I was thinking of getting her but I would like a proper deluxe version of her based on the legends artwork.

    That would be a great deluxe reprint. That artwork makes me want to buy toys!

    Yeah, I feel the same. If they could make toys that stood up to the quality of the artwork I would be there with a fistful of money yelling "Take my money and give me toys!"


    They made a basic class version of her for timelines I think...

    ... and the TFPrime one is a legion, don't think they have ever made a deluxe version. In Legends she seems to be sporting the bow from her Timelines appearance.
