CVH and a few others received a winter promo card and and note from Andrea Cole and “The Kaijudo Team”

Old Man Winter

Lvl: 6

Power: 1100

Civ: Nature

Race: Colossus

Abilities:

Double Breaker- This creature breaks 2 shields

”Holiday Bash”’ — When this creature enters the battle zone, each player may draw 3 presents cards. Then your opponent may put any number of non-evolution coworkers creatures into the party battle zone from his or her hand

I'm not sure who else will be getting these or how many were even made but it's pretty cool.

Maybe in the future they'll release it for everyone else?

I doubt it. Activision just did the same thing for the Skylanders franchise. They made a Holiday exclusive figure this year and gave it out the staff and to a few members of the community (like in this case). One figure popped up on ebay. Sold for like $300 I believe.

No love for casual fans. I'll definitely try the raffle (can I enter here at Kaijudo Central?). Doubt I will win though.

Well, it is possible that there are more of the promo that have yet to be distributed. After all, the print run for the card must have been of decent size (at least 100 I'd assume). They may give more out later and the current patch being more of a pre-release. However, I agree that is doubtful.
So yah, causal collectors have a right to be a bit upset. Even if they rerelease the promo in future, chances are it will have a different set number. Although, it was bound to happen at some point. Every card game has uber rare promos eventually. YuGiOh has the Jump Championship Prize Cards, which were all reprinted but still not same version as originals. I'm not sure if MTG has any limited release promos, but I know there are a lot of costly cards with that.
Hopefully they don't make promos like this too often. A game this new can't afford to lose collectors over how promos are released.

Well there goes me collecting every Kaijudo card... I hate Holiday exclusive products like this. It is never fair to the casual fans... :(
I'm positive the prices will go down on this card. Don't count yourself out just yet.
Also, this card is less expensive than three boxes of 3RIS. And you'll need at least that many to finish the set Even if you buy singles you'll spend more than this card costs.

Cheer up. This doesn't ruin anything. Capitalism and secondary markets ensure you've got as fair a shot now as ever. If anything it just makes the collecting aspect more fun. Now there's at least one card you really have to chase down!

I'd rather everyone entering do it through either of those sites, makes it easier to make sure I don't miss anyone.

If you absolutely have to enter it through this forum then I'll accept it.

Also, I just caught someone entering on three different names from the same IP address. It's much easier to prevent abuse like that on the other two websites.

That's a disgusting lack of integrity.

Elaborate on what you are saying here.

Maybe it's because I never was/will be a collector, but I don't see the big deal for you guys. Is it really that bad to collect every card BUT one, that was mostly only released to WotC employees anyway? I mean, if a part of you NEEDS to have this card, the opportunities are out there to buy it, but if you don't want to spend that much money, just don't worry about it. Wouldn't make you any less of a collector imo.

As a collector, collecting every card but one is a frustrating thing. Collecting and completing sets is the fun part.
Of course, I agree that if you don't want to spend the money then you shouldn't worry about it. Collecting is a form of entertainment. Spending money is a part of being entertained. You pay money to see movies, go to amusement parks, eat at nicer restaurants. All forms of entertainment and all at a cost. Collecting will have its own set of costs. Sometimes those costs are more than others, as is the case with this card.

Aiden,

Much respect for giving this away vs selling it even though you are seeing the prices on Ebay skyrocket. I hope it goes to someone in the community that will keep the card and collect it, possibly play it vs reselling the card. Take care and best wishes.

You said there is no bias, so I'm assuming that means owning one doesn't exclude you from the raffle.
That being said, if I were to win yours in the raffle, I would hold onto it until Kaijudo expands more. Then I would use it as a tournament prize in hopes that it would help to draw in more people. Probably a couple of years down the road or so.

That's my plan if I win and I'm sticking with it.
