G4 Trading Cards typos...anyone getting these?
« on: August 21, 2012, 09:38:41 PM »
So I have bought about 5 packs of the g4 trading cards from Target and I swear at least one card in each pack has an error. For example, I got a rarity (normal) card. On the back, the cards have the three types of ponies (earth, pegasus, and unicorn) listed and whichever that pony is, the card will have it highlighted. Well on quite a few of mine, it will show:

Pegasus
Unicorn
Pegasus

as the options. I have also found ones that say:

Pegasus
Unicorn
Unicorn

as the options. And of course, some of them are correct. Also, the pictures for the three pony types are correct, just the words are wrong.


Anyone else get these??

I've not noticed that...though I've found a couple of funny errors of my own.  On my Tank card, it has Pinkie Pie as being Tank's owner :P  I had to laugh at that.

Aww! That'd be a cool error to have.

I decided to go get my cards and find how many really have that error I said, and I found three. My shining armor (regular), sweetie belle, and mare do well & daring do.

I really want to find Zecora but I keep buying and she isnt coming! :[

Yeah, I have some:

Spoiler
Iron Pony Competition:

Error: It says under 'Episode' that's it's from Dragonshy, though it's really from Fall Weather Friends.

Pony Without a Team:

Error: Under 'Episode', it says it's from It's a Sonic Rainboom. This is a double error, actually, as the episode the card is claiming it's from is simply titled Sonic Rainboom. However, the scene is from Winter Wrap Up.

A Sonic Rainboom:

Error: For episode, it's supposed to be 'Sonic Rainboom', not 'It's a Sonic Rainboom'.

The Great & Powerful Trixie:

Error: Under Location, it says Ponyville. However, Trixie is a traveling magician, and probably travels all the time. She was only in Ponyville for about a day. But, this is probably me just nit-picking.

The Wonderbolts:

Error: On the front, the title of the card is The Wonderbolts, on the back, it's Spitfire & Soarin'.

Big Macintosh:

Error: For location, it says Sweet Apple Acres, which is correct. But why is there a picture of an apple instead of the barn?
I believe that's all I have.

Typos are so common on those cards, I think they weren't even proof-read :drunk:

I think the set was clearly rushed in order to be available for launch at BronyCon - it probably needed a month or so longer in development. When you are producing something with this level of detail, it may seem silly but a proof reading and editing process exists for a reason.

Personally I think its a little cheeky to launch what is essentially an unfinished product so blatently but from the fact they have run out a month prior to new stock arriving I would say thats a sign that most people are not bothered by the issues...which is weird considering how the odd dent/hair plug which are often fixable annoys us on a pony but glaring inaccuracies on cards which cant be "fixed" seems to be ok.
Thank you Matcha for my gorgeous Baby Fifi avi :hug:

I love Loa more than PonyLady!

I hope they at least fix those errors when they reprint them.

Haha I'm almost complete with my collection, just waiting for a few more cards in the mail. Once they've arrived I plan to write a letter to Enterplay describing each typo. (The list is already LONG.) I'll post it here when I'm done! XD

PS: BeatlesPkmnFan: Is it okay to use the ones you listed? You spotted a couple I didn't have down yet!
Thank you Thimble for my amazingly cute avatar!

To add to the list:

The Big Doozy
it says the episode is "The Big Doozy" when it's Feeling Pinkie Keen.

Peewee
it doesn't say "Pets" in the upper right corner on the front of the card.

what the butts enterplay.

Wow, who knew they would let out so many cards with issues! Sometimes the errors are cool to find, but not if they are this common!

Lots of them have issues, I think my WInter Wrap up card (whatever it's called) Mentions a line from WInter Wrap up as being said in Sonic Rainboom.
When the Equestria Girls dolls show up in stores and you end up with unneeded doubles, PM me! I'll buy them!/i]
