That is not clear at all, in regards to my question. At some point GTG promised to provide oversized villain cards to those of use who already purchased the base set. We got them with Vengeance, and it wasn’t until Wrath of the Cosmos and a few promos that the set became inomplete. Now, I am trying to understand why I have to re-purchase 10 or so villain cards in order to complete my set. It is frustrating. I don’t need doubles of something and pay for it twice.
Hopefully they can be treated as singles replacements or something. I don't want to have to buy another Legacy deck because one card is damaged.
Some of those 10 need replacing anyway, since they have errata.
So it appears the consensus is that we should order the new oversized villain cards, even if we bought the first oversized villain pack and every expansion and promo since release.
Sounds good. Please speak up if anyone hears otherwise!
Well, in addition to the new cards and errata, all of the cards are getting a design update. So, yes, get the pack.
Wait, what? I didn't see anything about a design update. What is the update all about? Are we talking new artwork or moving text around or just a new border? Spill the beans!
I would imagine it's making them in the same format as the V5 cards, with the picture side by side with the text, rather than the text overlaying it.
I hope not… I kinda like having a big picture of the villain (even though it is partly covered by rule text).
I agree that I like the current format better than the Vengence format. I do like that the Vengence cards look different though as it makes them easy to separated from the other oversized villain cards.

Yes, this will be the only way to get the new Oversized Villain Cards. Many of the old cards have slight wording changes to fix typos or errata, and they are all getting a slight graphic design update.

It might just be that Jennifer is giving them a once over, but I do hope we can have a bit more clarity once they are back from Pax South.
Yeah, 'slight' doesn't make it sound like a huge overhaul, and the difference in orientation will make it a lot easier to tell who's Vengeance-stlye and who isn't when we have fifteen of these guys flying about.
Agreed. I like the smaller picture for "smaller" scale villain (Vengeance style) and big picture for big bad guys… Probably a psychological thing…!
Another thing is on the preorder page, they say it will also include "every villain which will ever be printed (other than those which come with their own oversized cards, such as the Vengeance villains)." Will that mean if more "big" villians appear as promos and future expansion, we get those cards too? That part confused me
It either means that there will be large character cards included with all future (standard format) villains, or that there are no future (standard format) villains. We aren’t quite sure which it is, yet.
Or maybe they already know all the villains they want to publish, and they'll just include them in this pack...and then we'll all just have to guess about their decks and when they'll come out for the next 15 years.
Not likely. You have no idea how much the character cards change over the course of playtesting. They wouldn't release the character cards before we've had a chance to playtest them, with the decks, and we definitely haven't done that.
Though there might be some promos for existing villains that don't have one yet and that don't have small cards yet.
Maybe they send it with any of the preordrs they recieve from the people with the oversized bundle thing
I'm bumping this thread because, although this group has come to some sort of conclusion, Greater than Games needs to give us feedback.
I'm a dissapointed fan, and I'm considering holding back on this preorder. The community manager should at least talk to us.
