Old news.

I'm still not happy with Upper Deck making the game. And I REALLY dislike having commons, then rare, super rare, and ultra rare. Why not common, uncommon, rare, and holo?

I will give the game a chance though. Hopefully I'll have a job by the end of the month, so I'll plan on buying a box of this, along with a starter set.

I've never played a TCG but I'm excited about this. I'm curious about the game play and I can't wait to start collecting these.

I'm sad you're starting out with an Upper Deck game. The rule book will confuse everyone, i'm sure. I normally avoid anything with the Upper Deck stamp on it like it's the plauge... but the TMNT over ride that .

The wrapper art does look nice though, I'll give them that. Maybe they'll pull it off...

Any news what size the cards are? Standard size or mini-yugioh-size?

It won't be all bad though.. that other game U.D. makes was made by Konami... not saying it's a good game, but it might sell enough to get the other expansions at least.

Does anyone know where to find more images of the cards? I'd like to see bigger versions with the text so I can start figuring out how to play.

Old news, but thanks for the pic of the booster pack. I wish we could get an exact release date for these, and even a list of cards. I plan on buying atleast one box and the starter set when they first come out.

I'll probably collect them for the artwork, hopefully it's good stuff.

Thats a pic of the Donatello card... it's a rather large jpg though, so be warned.

I'm not likeing this whole flipping buisness...

Oh, and the boxes... 75 bucks for 24 packs of 9 cards. Bit pricey, considering most games have 36 packs of 11-15 cards for the same price.

nice picture may I bring it out to the open with another one that I have and thanks for the picture.

The turtle cards are going to be mini-yugioh-size again. This is all the information I have gotten from upperdeck. I hope they will give me a release date for the new turtle cards

-_-. Great. And I bet for tournaments they'll only allow their special mini sized sleves (something I'll just happen to over look if they even have tournaments for this game).

Oh well, those gold sleves I got for Yugioh can get some use now .
