Completist question: Oversized Villain Cards

Games Sentinels of the Multiverse
1

Hello!

 

I'm trying to understand the newest Oversized Villain Card product available for pre-order.

 

I have every card ever released from GTG for Sentinels.  I own the oversized villain cards from before they went out of print.  There are a few villains that do not have the oversized villain treatment.  I have not done an inventory, but I know there is at least one, and probably more, villains without oversized cards.  I loved that Vengeance included the oversized cards, but a promo villain along the way did not.

 

The listing for the new Villains expansion does not state if it contains oversized cards.  I wonder if GTG can clarify this.

 

Are any other completists out there ordering the $15 oversized villain pre-order?  I need to do an inventory to understand which villains do not have oversized cards, it might only be a couple promo villains, I do not recall off the top of my head.  I'm glad the pre-order window is rather large, so we can get clarification on subjects such as this.

The only villains without oversized cards atm are the Wrath of the Cosmos villains (Infinitor, Progeny, Deadline, Kagraa Warfang), the promos Agent of Gloom Spite and Skinwalker Gloomweaver and the mini-expansion Wager Master.

Villains is a Vengance style expansion so will have oversized cards.

It's currently unknown what the final expansion will be but it may include oversized villain cards as well.

Personally I'll be getting the new oversized cards and passing off my current ones to my brother who currently only has the base set.

I ... thought... I heard that there were Oversized cards in the works for Wrath villains, but they had been delayed at the printer and would be shipped out later.

 

I would too like to know this. If I am going to be getting Wrath Oversized, then there is no reason for me to order the Oversized villain pack.

This has been asked and answered a few times. But for those of you who missed it, I'v got you covered.

Question from the update:

For anyone who is waiting on oversized cards from previous orders, you don't even need to order the new villain oversized card pack as you'll be getting it for free!

1.  Is this referring to the cards for the Villains Expansion, or the regular oversized pack, or just the content added since the first pack?

2.  Is this coming out to everyone with the new pre-order, or just those who had orders standing?

3.  Do the previous orders need cancelled, or is that automatically being done.

4.  If an order was placed for oversized cards, and the orderer does not pre-order this time, what happens?

Thanks.

3) This is automatically being done. We'll send out an email to everyone who has a pending order letting them know that they'll be getting stuff.

4) You will get an envelope with the full pack of oversized villain cards once it is in print!

Aren't there also still a couple of open errata on the current oversized cards that are out there? I think that what a lot of people are after is the option to buy just the 'new' oversized cards (wotc, wager master, spite, gloomy, plus whatever the new mini expansion will be), but with a couple of errata replacement on top I doubt that it would be possible to offer them for much cheaper than $15 as >G would have to do a separate run on printing and packing just those cards (and potentially not selling all of that stock). It would be great if it was possible to do a separate extension pack, but if the difference is only going to be a few dollars then it isn't really an issue to buy the whole lot again.

My oversize pack has an old Matriarch errata, so beyond that I have no need to get everything else again. But I guess I can have backup copies..

7

There's an errata on The Dreamer too isn't there?

 

I guess the point I'm making is that there are eight missing Oversized cards and two (?) errata, so it works $1.50 per card if you only value the ones we don't have already. I don't think it would be appreciably cheaper to buy them separately.

Yes, the oversized card says she deals each hero H-1 psychic damage on her flipped side where the regular card gives it as H-2.

Actually, something else comes to mind - there could well be some more villain promo cards so for all we know there could be much more than 10 oversized cards that will be new to us!

10

This brings up a good point, though. Has there been confirmation that the typos have been corrected?

11

They wouldn't do another print run with well known typos still intact. I'd hazard to guess those are fixed.

12

I believe that there were oversized cards with errors for Citizen Dawn & Omnitron, as well - Dawn was missing the keyword Citizen on one side; I believe Omnitron was missing the Device keyword on one side.

13

Those were fixed on the newer cards. Not sure about La Capitan though.

14

OK. Since I got mine not straight from GtG (can't recall off-hand if it was through Noble Knight when I got my base set or from my FLGS later), I'm not sure where in the print run cycle mine come in. 

15

Check Omnitron or Citizen Dawn, if they have Device or Citizen in their keyword then you have the second printing, if they do not have those then you have the first.

16

I knew that part... I just couldn't recall off-hand which it was, and didn't want to go find the briefcase with the boxes and dig them out to check.

17

And don't forget La Capitan! She's supposed to redirect damage once per ROUND, not once per turn, on her flip side Advanced mode.

This thread has gone a bit off topic. I read the quoted posts, and I’m not any closer to an answer.

I thought Wrath of the Cosmos owners were being sent oversized villain cards at some point, but the quoted posts do not confirm that.

Is the consensus becoming that we should order the new oversized villain cards?

I wish GTG would answer us. I have been less than impressed with the new community manager.

That was a misunderstanding. People who are getting oversized cards are the people who have had them on order for months. They know who they are, and they've been emailed. If you didn't get an email, you're not getting them, and will need to order as usual if you want them.

>G are at Pax South right now, so it may be a little while before they are able to respond to stuff.

GtG has answered.  Very clearly.  If you look at the blog post in the comments section, the second post down from Paul, it says:

 

In order to get the new

In order to get the new Oversized Villain Pack for free, you have to be one of the several dozen people who ordered the Oversized Villain pack in the past year or so but were never shipped it. If you are in that category, I sent you an email last week :)

 

If you didn't order the pack in the last year or so, you have to pay for it.  If you don't remember whether you did or not, did you get an email from Paul about it in the last week or so?  If not, you have to pay for it.
