    They've got 'em up on eBay. I asked them if they could mail them cheaper, but he said they send them via Registered Air Mail...thus the higher price. Quoted me $12 shipping for both sets. Still comes out to be close to $50 though...a lot of cash for KO cards.

    I love cards, heck I just paid $15 for Omega Supreme's Superlink card last week on eBay...but I'll have to think long and hard about these before I pull the trigger.

    way way too expensive for bootlegs cards.


    I see some of you get upset at these because of the artist's rights, do you get upset at knock off toys for the same reason?

    Yes. Toy Design and prototyping is a cost that KO companies avoid and then make a buck off of.

    If they had enough to cover 88-90, I'd consider, but alas, too expensive..

    I think you missed my point. I was saying that Dreamwave and these knock-off card makers would both be using the art without paying for it.

    Those cards look very cool ... sadly, I'd like to see them first in person.

    Any chance someone will carry this on Botcon?

    I got both sets of the cards and are very impressed with them. I'll happily display them beside my other official cards.
