    I wasn’t going to bother with these as I thought the Costume Cards would be too hard to pick-up & collect the full set. Luckily I managed to complete the Base set & turned up 3 Costume Cards in the process on the day they came out. I have now completed the full set of 160 including the Costumes. Just need to keep an eye out if they release any more Limited Edition cards…?

      I guess you decided you would bother with these then? lol

      October 26th, 2013 - 10:35pm

      Yeah, it was only because I got the 11th., 10th. & Ood Costume Cards out of 4 boxes, that I really went for it…

      You have done well Radburn. I have bought 2 boxes and 2 starter packs. Gained one costume card, and still 5 short of a set with triples of some rainbow cards from 59 packets.

      The 1st box had no doubles of foils, the 2nd box was nearly all doubles of foils. Anyone getting that box as their first would have been severely disappointed. I was as a second box. I got three cards out of it I needed. Do I buy a third for now a 1 in 3 chance of another costume card. I feel like a gambler with these.

      When I originally contacted Topps & they told me it was 1 Costume Card per 75 Packets – So not even one card per box – I nearly did not bother! Unfortunately with the UNIT Card being the rarest only 1,460 people will get a full set if they collect them all…

      £40 is brilliant indeed, but the Tenth Doctor Costume card is my favourite one so I would have only traded it to a friend if he or she gave me £80 lowest. 😆

    I bought the starter pack and 2 packs today, I got the Eleventh Doctor Costume card number 3963 of 4150.

    Made a bit of a spectacle of myself in town with my excitement, If you can get your hands on a packet its easy to feel for the costume card. Because their so thick, their is very little bend in the packet. So if you give the pack a little bend and you feel resistance I would put money on that you have a costume card in your packet.

    • AlexanderOP

      October 29th, 2013 - 8:45pm

      Exactly what I found, the packet with the least bend will have the card in because it’s such a thick card.

    I only need five more cards. The cards I need are:

    Clara Oswald (Rainbow Foil)
    Dalek (Rainbow Foil)
    The First Doctor (Mirror Foil)
    The Fifth Doctor (Mirror Foil)
    The Sixth Doctor (Mirror Foil)

    Hopefully as I hunt them down I manage to get my hands on another costume card!

      Today I bought a starter pack and only got 2 new cards, plus only one standard foil across the 5 packs, which is bad odds.

      Like normal cards but with a circle in the middle which the fabric is inside. Also its a much thicker card.

    Would it be possible to feel for a Costume Card? I would think that Circle in the middle would bulge a little inbetween the cards, especially easy to feel if placed at the front or back of the packet.

    • Radburn

      October 19th, 2013 - 4:01pm

      No – The card is placed face down in the pack so you can’t feel it. If you get a costume card you will also be 2 or 3 cards short in that packet for the thickness.
