The availability should be no problem, rumour is Cryptozoic have increased the production run considerably. Price if anything in the UK will be higher because of fall in sterling against the dollar .
The exchange rate is slightly better than when the S1 set was released. I think it was hovering at $1.20-1.22 to £1 back then. It's currently $1.29 to the £. Of course Paypal can alter it a little and if the general election turns up a hung parliament then it might nosedive again. What we really need is Trump to have a huge mess up(with mud that actually sticks!) and the UK are in business again.
I found a couple of good US sellers last time and saved a LOT of money compared to UK sellers. I would genuinely like to buy from UK sellers first to support them, but my wallet only stretches so far.
I'm liking the look of a couple of the new signers.

You'd think, but no. Most UK dealers didn't even bother ordering it because there was such low interest.
As a show it's really unknown here because it's exclusive to Amazon Prime Video, and has never been broadcast on TV.
It will be, yes (More4, not Channel 4), but doesn't start until the end of this month. Sadly too late to aid the problems with the first season card set.
Being buried on More4 is disappointing too. That really won't help its exposure that much, unfortunately.This message has been edited. Last edited by: ravenheart,

I don't know if this has been mentioned anywhere else on the site, but the release date for the set is 9 August. It was in an email from CZE I received today.

Several people are reporting boxes/cases of this being short autographs and/or wardrobe cards. I know seasoned collectors may be a little more understanding but I hope this doesn't scare away a lot of novices where Outlander may have been the first trading cards they ever bought in their lives. Anyone shorted in their boxes/cases is urged to open a ticket with Cryptozoic and they'll look into it.
George posted about the issue on the Cryptozoic blog:
Unfortunately there was no autograph card in my Outlander 2 Box. Now I'm very dissapointed because the autograph was the main reason to buy a box. Did anyone got the same problem and a solution? Thanks a lot.

Surprised to see a manufacturer acknowledge a problem so publicly and I give them credit for that. Sounds like they think the cards didn't make it into the packs from a vendor and there's enough missing to be evident early on.
Throw back to the good old days when prized cards seemed to walk out the backdoor on a regular basis, maybe?
Seriously, hope it's not much and CZE can replace any missing hits. There is really nothing worse than being shorted a guaranteed hit and I don't doubt that CZE will try to resolve it since they have made this announcement.

You need to contact Cryptozoic. If you go to their website there is an announcement on the homepage dated 11th August about missing autographs in this particular release. There is a link within this statement where you can give them details and make a claim.
