Uhh, everyone: I did a thing. I did a pillbox thing.
I bought Aeon’s End. But, oh… oh I didn’t just buy Aeon’s End; I bought way too much Aeon’s End.
After the discussion in another thread, I subscribed to Aeon’s End on BGG and started getting notifications whenever people posted about it. Well, I was surprised at how much activity there was: it brought even more attention to Aeon’s End - enough that I browsed to the GeekMarket listings. It was there that I found a bundle of Aeon’s End stuff. It was pricey, but not exceedingly so, compared to buying AE products new (it’s currently between printings apparently and retail prices for it are off the charts). I had already looked at late pledging for the whatever-whatever expansion, but the add-on pricing for Waves 1-4 is really steep.
However, this bundle I found. Expensive? Yes, but no, not when you see the jaw-dropping amount of content that arrived:
- Aeon’s End (2nd Edition)
- Aeon’s End: Buried Secrets (cards still in shrink)
- Aeon’s End: The Ancients (cards still in shrink)
- Aeon’s End: The Depths
- Aeon’s End: Into the Wild (cards still in shrink)
- Aeon’s End: The Nameless
- Aeon’s End: The New Age (cards still in shrink)
- Aeon’s End: The Outer Dark
- Aeon’s End: Shattered Dreams (cards still in shrink)
- Aeon’s End: The Void
- Aeon’s End: War Eternal (cards still in shrink)
- Aeon’s End: Broken Token Organizer
- Another Broken Token Organizer
- Aeon’s End: Accessory Pack 1
- Aeon’s End: Playmat
My mind is reeling trying to do an inventory. So far I’ve discovered, of the packs of cards that are opened, only 1 of the randomizer cards was actually sent.
Anybody with experience with the A-series cards, let me know (I think it’s The Ancients Accessory Pack). For whatever reason, some of the packs of cards are unwrapped, but the pack that starts with card A123 is still in shrink.
Also: I want to know why and where from came the two different series of non-designated cards. Like I have two different sets of cards numbered 10-33, 42-51, 100-119, 130-134, 140-159, 165-174, 180-184, 190-205, 215, 217, 222, 230-265. There may be more, but those are the ones I’ve inventoried so far (everything that’s not in a shrinkwrap)
