It has to do with Canadian law... they can side stepped them by asking the silly question.

Yup. Without the math question it is considered gambling, which is illegal in Canada (unless the government gets their cut of course, then it's perfectly acceptable). Adding the math question makes it a game of "skill", as silly as that seems.

That's what I was thinking when I read that on the packet. I'm like, what do they think Canadians are stupid or something. Now it makes sense but I was really thinking "what the?"

I've already emailed.

I was told they were due in at the weekend, but he was expecting them Monday. That was LAST Monday. As in nine days ago. I've emailed again, TWICE, and have received no replies.

Anyone found damaged cards in their boxes? I have seen several boxes/cases where it appears that the rollers from the machine has left indentations accross the cards. I have not bought any Heroes myself but did see them.

Yeah, unfortunately Shake Head My one and only box so far had 78 out of the 157 base cards damaged. Someone else has had the same in the box breakdown threads, only his were cases worth.

My two boxes arrived just before noon today. Clap

I'm part way though the first box and found the costume card it contained, in the first pack I opened. It was a Hiro jacket card. Full breakdown later after I've finished opening the two boxes.

Incarnadine,

I agree this wasn't one of my best. Due to tight deadlines, and the fact that Topps needed as many cards as we could do in a short amount of time, this unfortunately meant less time spent on each card. This is my very first set. I'm not apologizing, as I agree with you, this one suffered the deadline crunch. I'm going to be on for Season 2, and I promise that those cards will be of much higher quality. Thanks for being honest! Smile

Cheers, N
