The Trading Cards have Shown Up

[Gogobinsin]

I have no idea what they even look like!
Anyone have any pictures?

There's a trading card info page being constructed over on Strawberry Reef http://www.strawberryreef.com/Index/G4/G4tradingcards.html

There's also the Elements of Harmony puzzle cards. I am waiting to see more of these. They're pretty! Kind of weird, because mine is Twilight Sparkle on the front and Rainbow Dash on the back. Er, wait, Rainbow Dash on the front and Twilight Sparkle on the back.

I was a nay-sayer when they were announced, but I love these cards. They're really nicely made (imo) and pretty unique. I printed out the card list to keep track of what I have so far. I've also managed to score 6 packs without any doubles, which I'm chalking up to dumb luck.

I was a nay-sayer too, but actually seeing them, they are pretty nice. They are fun and have a good variety. I love all the detail put into each card, and there are 84 so lots to collect! It will also be fun to start trading with everyone on the forums ^^

84 is actually just the "commons" (Characters, Pets, Locations & Moment of Friendship). Including Gold Series, Royal Wedding, Elements of Harmony, Discord, Special Foils and the Standees there are 130 cards to collect, not including the Fun Tats since they aren't cards.

There is a really active thread over in FiM as well - there are links to a couple of sites which have a lot of the cards listed as well

I think they are super cute but they are full of a surprising number of errors...I cant help but feel they were a little rushed into production unfortunately.

The fact Lyra and Golden Harvest share a card annoys me to no end!
It should be BonBon and Lyra!

CURSES!!!

My local Walmart has been cleaned out already...no cards in back either. I'm only missing three of the "elements" cards though!

[Brandi]

So far I've only come across two boxes in which I eagerly approached only to find that they were completely empty. One box was empty literally a day after it was put out because I was there the day before and they didn't even have the box out there, which makes me wonder if they really are that popular or if people are just buying them to put on ebay.

Yeah, I feel like they needed to proof read these a few more times before releasing them. Don't get me wrong, I love 'em and will collect them, but I hate the few errors I've come across.

Does anyone know how "rare" the gold series & foil cards are? I'm just curious, I don't ever plan on selling my cards.

[gargoylekitty]

Gold series seem most rare. After them, the normal foils, then the puzzle piece ones. But, I might be off and it's kinda hard to tell since there are different amounts of each(that is, with only four gold series of course they're going to be harder to find than a normal foil)

[BigBrotherPony]

I love these! I can't wait to get my hands on some!

I have read there are a few mistakes but in general I am so pleased that these seem to be done by a company who cares about the show and wants to get it right. The text and level of detail on the cards is really nice.... So much better than the usual ' Rainbow Dash likes to fly!' ... 'Cupcake likes Cupcakes!'

So bummed Dr Whooves real name is Time Turner though! Lol

I'm gonna buy them by the box load!

[hathorcat]

I'm gonna buy them by the box load!

I think a lot of people planned to do that! Everywhere that had full boxes is completely sold out! I cant believe how popular these are...amazing!

[StarlightGaze]

The standees seem pretty common... I've gotten 4 out of 4 packs so far, maybe I'm just getting weird odds.

[Elfpony]

Anyone know if these have shown up in Canada yet?
