The Trading Cards have Shown Up

[MLPlyte]

Are these with the ponies or with the pokemon/magic/sports cards? Also, what are the standees?
I haven't heard of these today - they are so cute!

They were over with the other cards, at least at Target.

Standee cards are ones that have perforations so you can separate the character from the card, fold the rest of the card to form a base, and stand the character up.

Okay, this is weird ... I found the cards at Target last week, then I found them again at TRU today, but they were in different boxes! They were similar, but definitely not the same. What gives?

Was one a "hanging" box and one a "sitting" box that just sits on the shelf?

Yeah! You know, that is a big distinction I never thought of before, haha! But yes, the Target one was hanging on a rack, and the TRU box sat on top of a shelf, although they were both rectangular. I thought maybe TRU just didn't set up the little 'hook,' but it's possible they're just made differently!

So, according to the cardlist, there are Gold Series cards (#G1-#G4) and Gold Series: Box Toppers (#G5-#G8). Now, I went and ordered a box off of Amazon, but it won't arrive until next week because I clicked free shipping. Do these Box Topper cards come in the box separate from the packs, or is it something where each box contains exactly one of them somewhere within the individual packs?

Every box doesnt get every card unfortunately. However, I believe every box is supposed to contain at least 1 of the gold cards - the "special card in each back is a standee or a foil plus and occasional the foil becomes a gold series card

Yeah, I figured it wouldn't have every card, but I'd never heard of "box topper cards" until looking at the card list for this set. Looked it up and it sounds like the usual way those go is you get one of them in a box, so presumably one of #G5, #G6, #G7, or #G8, with the usual other card probabilities inside each of the 30 packs. Just wasn't exactly sure how that goes. Are those four cards impossible to get randomly within the individual packs? And the four gold cards, the ones that aren't titled "box toppers" in the official list, are subject to usual chances?

I want to start collecting these so badly but on Ebay they're so overpriced, and Toywiz has ridiculously high shipping costs. Have these been found anywhere outside of the states?

they actually stand better than that, you want to fold it again (in the middle, there should be another fold line)so that the edges with the name overlap, and then they have slits where they lock into each other.

Thanks Eternia - not my picture unfortunately! I havent managed to track down any of these as yet...

I actually think G1 through G8 are all classed as the same rather than being two separate types of cards - they are all "toppers" i.e. one per box [assuming packed properly]
