How mental is that? Of all franchises for Mantic to get involved with!

Mars Attacks has always had a pretty cool style, but their brand of violence makes me feel ill.
Still going to follow this with interest!

Not that much of a fan, but it could provide a good laugh as a non-serious game for my group of nutjobs!

Sounds like a great beer and pretzels style game. If nothing else we'll get some Martians out of the deal.

Not my style but, done properly, will be a fan favorite I suspect.

Wishing them well.

Gracias,

Mars Attacks is owned by Topps who basically ARE Trading Cards... However, they own the Shadowrun liscense!

Very odd.

I just hope these are not 'restic'!

The original card series for others like myself that thought the movie was the first mars attacks thing.

It looks great and beyond great. I have collected most of the things already like giant bugs and GI's so this is right up my alley.

The book in the link I posted has all the card series in, front and back, I forgot to thank Matakishi for the link to this.

The word on the street is that it is going to be in 15mm, totally underwhelmed now

Noooooooooooooooo! WTF!

Just as well you can get everything you need in 28mm already including the martians.

Yes, but we demand variety! More variety!

Where can one get the Martians in 25-28mm? I wasn't aware.

I remember collecting the cards when I was a kid. Bloodthirsty stuff but they were great. There was a range of cards out around the same time about the ACW - equally violent and equally collectable for a young lad. If only I'd kept them they'd probably be worth something now. Hey ho.....

Doomsdave · « **Reply #13 on:** May 19, 2013, 04:59:39 AM »

@Sardoo. I had the cards too, also the Dinosaurs Attack set. I never got the ACW ones, but have seen the images online.

@Scurv: Thanks for the info.

Flying Frog Productions is the company with the Martians:

Actually 15mm sounds good to me. Far easier to built (and store) stuff like this:
