Were these two promos supposed to come with VotM preorders, or are they supposed to come later with something else? They didn't come with my VotM, so I need to know whether or not to freak out about that.
They only came if you ordered the new set of Oversized Villain Cards.
Ah ha, which I did not. If I ever get my hands on the art, I'll need to remember to ask someone for the text on those cards so I can make oversized versions of them.
Presumably the non-oversized version of these two promos will be coming out at some later point.
Why would they make smaller versions of villain cards anymore? I thought they were going all oversize, all the time.
That's what we thought when Vengeance came out, but that turned out not to be the case. The Spite and Gloomweaver promos were initially on small cards, for instance. (They only just now got their larger versions.)
Because I want them!
Me too!
I still want to get my hands on small versions of Bomber Blade and Cosmitron!
I want a small version of Blade to put into a platform bot.
And a small version of Unity to do battle with him, along with an even smaller version of Platform bot!
And a small version of Haka to put them all in his pants, while he’s also in there
I would like small versions of anything that doesn't have one yet. It takes up less space on the table.
Table space isn’t a premium for me, so the bigger the better, in my book! I’d love giant Coliseum and Favor cards for Kaargra, actually, but I know that will never happen.
I've been assuming that small versions of the variant oversized villains would be included in the eventual set of all promo cards GTG has said they'd put out after the final expansion..
For those that are collectors who enjoy having the "first edition" of things, I wonder how that's going to factor in. There was some talk of having the promos a bit different than the originals, to allow those who preordered have the "first edition" promo sets. Since there wasn't really a pre-order for the alternate Infinitor/Kismet, that wouldn't really make much sense.
This is, of course assuming the reprints are changed at all.
More than likely it'll be something simple, like a UNLIMITED added somewhere to the card to differentiate it from the originals.
I'd bet on new art too. Why wouldn't they?
The smaller cards could be promos in the final expansion. They have only said that no new villians that will have small cards. So by having them already in the oversized villian pack, they could release the sm a ll cards as a promo.
That makes sense. So, the next promos could very well include:
Parse
Sky-Scraper
Hero Omnitron
Infinitor
Kismet
