Only set from the list that piques my interest too.

[Bartholomew]

Curious for the Women of Marvel set.

Pass on the Iron Man set though.

[rilynil]

Oooohh, maybe there's an X-23 card or two on the way! :)

Well, there will definately be some X-23 full color sketch cards in this set.

[Nitefall]

Is your work on any of these sets Tony?

Just the sketch cards. I'm currently working on sketch cards for the Women of Marvel set and then I'll be working on Marvel Masterpieces 2008 sketch cards.

The next Marvel set is tentatively titled ‘Marvel Universe’ and includes themes from the Civil War and World War Hulk storylines. Much of the content choices for this upcoming set was voted on by VS System fans. The set will be super-sized at more than 300 cards.

Guess, I should have my people talk to your people. :laugh: Wait, you are my people. :banghead:

[ALEX23]

I'm not going to try to pre-order any boxes of this. I think I'll just get a set someone puts together on eBay.
Thats all I'm interested in and will probably be cheaper.

Thats what I do...no need to have a ton of extras you won't use :thumbs2:

[Tattoo-X]

I do that with non-Marvel stuff. And Marvel movie related sets. I like to buy a box or two of series that have many artists contributing. That way I will have extras to get signed. Sets are cheaper now days. Even most chase sets, since dealers are making their money with the sketch cards.

[ALEX23]

These recent boxes are just too pricey for me. I rather spend the money to get a guaranteed full set.

[Tattoo-X]

The next issue of Non-Sport Update will have Iron Man and Women of Marvel promo cards.:buttrock:

• Game features the most famous characters in the Marvel Universe, especially those that have been highlighted in movies in the last 5 years.

• The cards will be visually stunning and will look more like trading cards than TCG cards.

• The game is fundamentally about heroes fighting each other - the way to win the game is to beat up all of your opponent’s guys, there’s no "life total" or "combo deck".

Got me excited for a second there tat. I thought Marvel was bringing back their Collecor's Club with Neca. They'd do statues for $35 & busts for $20. Awesome sculpts for the price but generic packing to keep down the cost. Loved that line.

Not much of a DC fan. Probably only buy a box, or just a set.
