Wizards of the Coast Transformers card game

[Sharky]

$22 (aud) to get the crate to Australia right now (with discount code LOVE50).

Not bad, but hard to know how good a deal it will end up being when we don't know what the other methods of availability will be.

that is a pretty good price even if taking a gamble that the card is in the box

in response to my question on FB the Transformers card Game Account is checking into the Australian Posted release of of lootcrate, they seem to think it still should be included but are confirming

Transformers Trading Card Game Series 2 Reveal - Dreadwing.

Griffin holding out with the best sneak peek!

This is a great reveal.

there seems to be some confusion at the moment, it is a Lootcrate Exclusive item, in North America,

they are saying in UK and APAC to talk to your card providers about distribution

so i am not sure if it will be in a lootcrate if we order it or not in australia

Yeah, I took their post to mean that there would be other non-lootcrate options available in APAC to get this card?

[griffin]

I hope so, as Omega Supreme could be a sought after card if it has similar properties to Metroplex.

Just quoting the official facebook page about the availability of the Omega Supreme card that Sharky was referring to above...

Clearing up some misinformation and confusion re: Omega Supreme and Lootcrate.
1. ***** Everyone who orders the current LootCrate prior to 9PM PST on 2/19 will receive an Omega Supreme - Autobot Defense Base card. It is not a random drop.*****
2. This is currently the only way Omega Supreme - Autobot Defense Base will made available in North America.
3. If you are in the EU or APAC regions, the card will be available via alternative means that will be communicated to WPN stores very soon.
4. The full, unobscured card images are attached here.
UPDATE: Customers in EU and APAC regions that order the basic Lootcrate will receive the Omega Supreme - Autobot Defense Base card, though it will also be available via alternative means.
UPDATE 2: Omega Supreme - Autobot Defense Base is only available in the basic Lootcrate. The Lootcrate DX has a Transformers product in it, but it is not TCG-related.

So if you do sign up for the loot crate to get Omega Surpreme, it is only in the basic one.


Also, an official image of the separate Devastator pack was posted up on TFW, but no source was noted, so I'm not sure where from, as I haven't seen it in a news post yet. The pack was on display at NY Toyfair though.

3. If you are in the EU or APAC regions, the card will be available via alternative means that will be communicated to WPN stores very soon.

So basically it'll be available at Good Games.

I wonder what TF product will be in the DX Lootcrate... I'm guessing a t-Shirt?

What was the source of that text listing, as they aren't up on the TCG website (to see if they have the list of battle cards too). Or did you type that up from the facebook postings of the actual card images?


For those interested, the official facebook page...


- images of the 46 new character cards (the first series only had 40)
- images of the 81 new battle cards (the first series also had 81)
- clean images of the six combiners that are in the booster packs (Devastator is sold separately in a special box four weeks later)

For those who are playing this, how long does it usually take for you to play out a game, usually? And is it something that is interesting to watch as a spectator?

I'm just wondering if we should try to do up some game days if there is enough people in close proximity to each other... and if we had a competition, I'd want it to still be worth watching by those who are not playing, or knocked out of the competition.
(I still haven't gotten around to trying it out... but not sure how much time I should set aside to give it a go.)
