    Nah. I feel jerked around at this point. I was on the fence as it was. These would have been a fun thing to have at a table for a con. Stuff to just crack open while vending. I don't recall the price when they eventually said it but it was kind of absurd to me. I was out then. KS campaign has me fully out now.

    This seems to be that. For many months I've been looking for updates. And now to find that it's morphed into a kickstarter is massively disappointing.

    Those are the random packs. I think the kickstarter will be for the whole set. Not sure yet.

    What BBTS has the listing for is what I've been looking for updates on for months and could never find any info about. Then this kickstarter thing popped up and it's the same cards. Same product.

    I don't know the details because there are none on the kick page, but this is the same thing.
    Whether there's special bonuses only on the kick or it will be the only place you can purchase - I don't know.

    This is absolutely the same product, though.

    Will there be other unique sets to buy only from the kickstarter page?

    is it true that Sam’s Club will have the full set?

    Any more details you can give us?
