Great news and terrible news !

Great that you are doing it .

Terrible that we've got to wait until next year to get it .

And that promo is brilliant . Hopefully some will be left after the show for those of us unable to make it.

Count me IN

Plenty of time to save up some money. Maybe. Hopefully.
Can't wait to see the artist list!

Im hoping not that way me and my kid can collect this set together.

This set will NOT have an adult theme. This set will be based on classic versions of these characters from the traditional stories. No Disney or overly big breasts or sexual poses or modernized versions.

Hm, have you read the original Grimm's Fairy Tales ? No big breasts or sexual poses but not exactly cute children's stories either. Most had/have a decidedly adult theme

Yeah, we've read some of those stories and we'd like keep some of the hard-core moments out (Example: Sleeping Beauty being violated while sleeping and giving birth while sleeping. etc...). We want to try to keep the magical feel to some of these stories intact, but we don't want pin-up versions of the characters or characters using machine guns, etc....

I think if you keep the tone of the first promo card they will be perfect .

I couldn't agree more Triple-Frog. I love the idea of a fairy tale set, so I'm definitely in on this one!

And I can't wait to get that promo too, it's lovely.

That's what we have in mind.

Is that a wolfie on that card because I do make a charge for image rights.

wolfie, that's a chicken, not a wolf.

This will be the first sketch based set I have ever purchased. Finally somthing me and my daughter can bust together

Thank you all for doing this one.

I really like the look of that promo. Nice work this is something I can open with my kids.

I hope you will reconsider and include at least 1 tentacle rape / AK47 gangsta Redd Riding nda HOOD (Crip Killa) chase card. You know, for us "mature" collectors who never "matured" past 7th grade.

Wow. I think you have us confused with some other company. We don't produce **** like that.

I love the look of this promo, as I adore the classic/retro children's storybook illustration style. I'm very glad to hear that this will be the direction this set is heading. Not that I'm opposed in any way to "adult-themed" sets, but there are *plenty* of sets out there to appeal to that segment of collectors.

Will this promo be available for sale after the show?

Tony: +1

I'm sure another company will produce something like that. It's just not for us.
