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!

[Michka]

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

[Conquistador]

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

Wishing them well.

Gracias,

Glenn

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

[Hildred Castaigne]

Noooooooooooooooo! WTF!

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

Yes, but we demand variety! More variety!

[Doomsdave]

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

[Sardoo]

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]

@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:
