      I know! I have bought about 15 packs, and around 10 of them had those ‘Help Cards”! They shouldn’t release them like that; it would have been better if they released one with the Starter Pack, one in a pack from the Multi-Pack, about 3 in a box and one with the tin. Getting them in single packets can get really annoying.

      Hm, I’m not sure if I want to buy it or not. One time I read on a review for a DWMI box that the 24 packs came in a plastic bag, and that was on Amazon. But also Ebay can’t always be trusted, so I’m not sure what I’m wanting to do. I’ll definetaly be getting the tin at some point though.

    For the absolute completist I believe there are two variant packs.

    Judoon/Silent pack (dwa) has “Promotional Packet.” on back
    Ood/Judoon (binder) has “Promotional Packet.” on back.

    These are such lovely packets with five cover variants, I always keep a selection of opened packets, and in this case we have the two promotional ones. Are there any more? My 3 starter pack packets all got mutilated during opening and I didn’t think to check them-but logically they are standard-non-promotional packets.

    • The Monitor

      April 5th, 2013 - 9:35pm

      If you got down to only needing 4 foils from buying packets you would not need 16 commons. That sounds hugely imbalanced to me. Unless they are factoring in that you may as well complete a 2nd or 3rd common set by that point.

      I need 9 rainbow 15 foils and 1 common.

      But at least it is an option at some point.
