Did it?

I honestly don't recall seeing those. I swear I missed so much in that game because I was just too terrified to do any sightseeing :laugh:
I completely understand. I took it so slow the first time because I wanted to fully immerse myself in the game. They really nailed everything in terms of keeping it in the ALIEN universe. And the posters and other propaganda felt right at home, despite the profoundly different style.

'ALIEN: Isolation' deserves its own set of trading cards.

Really does. Perhaps they'll do just that if this sells well. So everybody in this thread needs to buy some! Lol

I plan on getting at least 1 box. But the lack of advertising baffles me. I bet 95% of the people that WOULD be interested in this dont know it exists. Which kinda sucks.

This thread alone should sell a few boxs so that's good.

If anyone ends up getting one before I do, would you mind uploading some pics? Or even do an unboxing?

Hopefully I'll have a box mid April.

I will absolutely do an unboxing video on my YouTube channel. Here's one of my newer videos and it's completely relevant! Would love if you guys would subscribe to me!

Now I think I do want to get a box at least...

Very nice collection. It's like an advanced version of mine. Same thing, me and my old lady's spare bedroom decked out with alien and pred figs. Except she's the predator nut. I'm the demo addict. Tough fighting over shelf space :P

My audio was crap so I wasent able to hear. But with your Palisades how are the collector numbers? Low? I always wondered how important that was to collectors.

Sick!

So it looks like they take a few artists and give them a a handful of blank cards, and they draw up the same drawing a bunch of times and number them.

So for example those 3 above there may be 10-20 of each of them?

That's how it seemed to work when I looked into the firefly ones. Unless these are 1:1. But that seems unlikely.

I think those are the sketch cards. According to the releases they're, "Another premium option, one-of-one Sketch cards offer original interpretations for notable characters and moments in Alien history."


Another one.






Some other artists are posting theirs up too -

Not sure why she's signing though. Are they doing artist signed cards?

Didn't the blurb mention it would be artists as well as actors?

I am starting to think the sketch cards will be higher chased than the autos. Either way, looks like I will be getting a box! Aside from no "high end" pulls, I will donate cards to those on here that need/want them for their collection. You pay shipping costs of course ;D

Wow. All 1:1. Love unique stuff like that.

No way to collect the whole set though.

So the announcement said something about this set being released on Alien Day so I wonder why the previous sites had the end of March listed. You would have thought that Alien Day would have been the best time to do it all along.

Perfect-Organism

Does the trading card industry have a special "new release day" anyone?  I mean, comics come out on Wednesdays in America, music is released on Tuesdays I think...

Friday for Magic the Gathering sets. I would guess Friday unless it's slated for April 26.
