lazypadawanI got my set in the mail on Saturday. The version I got was the 120 base cards plus the etch foil cards and the silver shiny Brian Rood cards. I'm not wasting my time getting the different foil versions and stuff. It's annoying that they make card sets that are impossible to fully complete these days. Grr.
What I care about is the artwork within the base card set. There are some really nice pieces, like the one I made into Bail 'n Leia icon, but overall I just wasn't as impressed with these as I have been in the past. I think what annoyed me more than anything else, even more than the strong skewing toward the expanded universe and Eps IV-VI, is that the New Visions were limited to 50 while everything else was filler, filler, filler. They spent a lot more energy getting new stuff drawn for the zillions of sketch cards selling for $$$ on eBay.
