cool. i hope they are available here in canada.

*cosses fingers*

OMG! I'm buying them!

Considering that I bought the whole set of X-Files trading cards as a teenager since I'm such a nerd, I know I'll be buying these. *Nervous laughter.*

awsome! i'm buying some lol

huh! Well how about those grape nuts flakes! I'll have to keep my eye our for these.

That's sweet!

(I am in no way endorsing this site.)

This is the only place I've (google) found so far that is taking pre-orders:

Whoa! I gotta have these!

Gah, nearly $50 for a box? I guess that's an all right deal...

Me too!

*crosses fingers also*

ETA: Actually that site that Idallia mentioned ships worldwide. YAY!

can someone please explain to me exactly what I'm buying? I have no idea what Trading Cards are, although i do have an idea.

^ Spoken like a true Heroes fan.

Generally speaking the purpose of these sets is to collect and/or trade for cards. So, buying an entire box may not guarantee you an entire 90 card set, even though 24 packs x 7 cards = 168 cards.

Well, it can be found, at least, here (but I don't know where all they ship), and that UK site says the cards will be available on the 30th of July.

Ooh! Very nice!

I might treat myself to it with my next paycheck.

oh man! between these new cards... the pricey World Tour trip.. and new DVD.. and possibly other Heroes merchandise... I'm going to be broke.

hah... that is cool =D.

I will probably buy these.
Then a month later, I'll be like "Why did I buy these?"
The really have no use.
But I want them anyways
XD
I'll be spending all my money on Heroes stuff

Whoa that's pretty neat. I've never bought trading cards before, but I probably will for Heroes!

this reminds me of the pokemon trading cards... and harry potter cards i bought years ago.. and they're just sitting there, untouched on my bookshelf.. and i'm not gonna buy the heroes ones, they're a waste of money. unlike the cards, i'll be using the DVD over and over again.

I probably wont buy them.. I'm spending all my money on the dvd set and the new harry potter book. I've never been really into the trading card thing anyway. Its a waste of money that could be spent on that cool necklace that they have at the nbc store.

I love cards. I might get some, but I don't want to order on-line, so I'll have to go see which local stores might have them in stock.

What's Topps? Isn't that the grocery store o__O
But that is sooo cool!
I'm totally getting them!

Topps is a baseball trading card company (though they do make all sorts of trading cards. Not just baseball cards.)

Oh. Why do I not know that? hahahaha

Topps is making it? How did I miss that?!

It would've been so much more fun if they turned them into a trading card game... but I guess it wouldn't make much sense...

My question is, will they just be like trading/baseball cards ('I'll trade you two Hiro Nakamuras for a Noah Bennet') or battle/Pokemon cards ('My Ted Sprague attacks your Claire Bennet for 50 points of radiation'). Either way, you bet I'll buy some! Eventually, they'll probably live with my Pokemon/Yu-Gi-Oh/Harry Potter/Sailor Moon cards under my bed. Except for Ted. The Ted card (which they WILL make. Ya hear me Topps?) will live next to my Quicksilver action figure and my comics in the corner of Awesome. =D

Nifty. I might buy some, then hide them from my parents, who would mercilessly mock me, like they did every time I spent loads of money on Pokemon cards. I am embarassed to say I have a full drawer of Pokemon cards, though I stopped buying them about two years ago.

I remember buying Pokemon, Magic, and Yugioh cards. The most fun I had was Magic though.

From the looks of things, it may be that it's just a trading card, not Trading card game, although, like I said, it would've been cool if they made it a TCG. They could've come up with plot cards and the decks could be used to tell a story. Alas...

Yeah, I collected Baseball cards for a time my amassed collection:

Years in my inventory: 1958-2006, with the highest concentrations from the late 80's to early 90's

Quantity: hard to measure. A rough idea: got boxes full of them under half of my Twin Size bed, plus, if you stack all of my binders up, the stack would be about 9 ft tall

Source: bought some, but most of them were from 2 giveaways to me by an older collector and Bought from another guy for $40, both people were substitute teachers at my high school, that I knew getting rid of them that

Trading cards aren't completely useless...

You can do neat things with them... I'm kinda crafty so I'll put some under the glass top of my coffee table or make magnets out of them.. lol... decorate HeroeSTYL3... lmao

I know... I'm looney.. hehehe

thats a good idea sylarstyl3. lol. maybe i'll do that with my desk. its sorta big, and i could fit a lot pf cards there. LOL.

awsome news can't wait for them to come out.

cool! I want them

Thanks canadianprincess... I'm cool like that! lmao

Um, why?

LOL


what she said lol

Uhm, yeah...I think I'll pass on these.

Awesome, I knew they'd do this. Now SDCC announce some action figures!

because they can and its awesome!



hahahhahahah! you're kidding me right?! LOL!




aww, they're cool to have!

Stop peer pressuring me kitty Gosh...

But seriously, after buying packs and packs of Pokemon, Digimon, and Beanie Baby (yes, they have those) cards, all of which I had no idea what to do with, and leaving them in my closet somewhere to collect dust, I don't want to add to that collection of dust collected cards.

I'm a bit too old now for trading cards. I bet they are awesome as well.

Your never to old for trading cards

I agree especially when there Heroes trading cards

I probably won't buy any since I can't play with them.

I'd definitely get cards if they were part of UDE's VS System, though I doubt that will ever happen.

i would start playing VS if it happened lol

You young 'uns will soon learn! I need to pay bills and buy food before I can even think about buying something like this. I didn't mean I am too old because collecting cards is childish, collecting cards will never be childish. I could buy a box of these but it would mean that I don't eat for a week.

I once saw a Volkswagen Beetle entirely covered with laminated Pokemon cards for sale on eBay. They were super-glued on. It was awesome.
Cards are good for art projects. The only use I can see for these cards is to make them part of some sort of psychotic Heroes shrine. Or possibly using them to comfort yourself during the long agonizing weeks of hiatus.

Jeph Loeb already implied that HEROES merch like action figures were in the process of being finalized, besides, I collect action figures so I want some.

action figures?!

ugh.

i might not buy those. i need to save my money:P


but they do sound cool.
