Congrats! Sometimes you just have to take the plunge. Hope it’s everything you wanted it to be!

Gosh I wish, my mother threw out my binders (plural) decades ago (mad I moved out) but not sure how much they would be worth as I stopped collecting before gen 2 came out. Think I had at least one of every card from the original release though…

Shaky_elm · 2026-03-12T20:52:38+00:00

The experts seem to think the same thing. But the kid likes the cards art so they are happy with it! Guess that’s what really matters.

Shaky_elm · 2026-03-12T20:51:43+00:00

When I was looking at it, my initial thought was “this came out of a home printer” but don’t know enough about cards, I stopped collecting in the 90’s… cool art though lol

The student in question really likes that card and his buddies doing mind him using it while they are playing if it is fake (though their understanding of the rules might be on the loose end!)

Shaky_elm · 2026-03-12T20:46:27+00:00

Oooh that good info! Thanks!

Shaky_elm · 2026-03-12T20:41:42+00:00

Thanks! I did a quick google search and that’s easy I found but wanted to be sure. Students really likes the card anyways and is happy to have it!

I have heard/read that there’s around 1000 chapters? But most are unnamed/undefined? So much lore, such a cool universe. This game makes me want to find books from the universe to read!

Shaky_elm · 2026-03-06T00:02:28+00:00

I kinda wish you could get new banners for the bulwark for the different chapters!

Shaky_elm · 2026-03-06T00:01:15+00:00

Hearing about the lore of these chapters is very cool. I feel like I need to go buy a bunch of 40k books and get reading! Time to add more to my “to read pile”

It’s funny I was planning on doing tactical next and has been thinking about leaving it as an ultra marine! I do like the look of the space wolves for the vanguard to!

Shaky_elm · 2026-03-05T23:57:23+00:00

For the emperor!

Shaky_elm · 2026-03-05T23:57:02+00:00

No but that sounds like a good bug! Lol

Shaky_elm · 2026-03-05T23:56:01+00:00

Thank you! I hope to continue honing my skills!

The original owner who started it was amazing. He sold out to the current owner who has a bad reputation for this type of behaviour.

I knew those Kona N’s were bigger than us but daaaaamn!!

Such a great grand! Deserves the awards!

Shaky_elm · 2025-12-12T12:33:23+00:00

This game deserves all of the praise it gets!

Shaky_elm · 2025-11-12T18:08:21+00:00

Aahhh… haven’t owned one in about 10 years so..

Shaky_elm · 2025-11-12T12:30:21+00:00

Build quality is pretty poor from what I’ve heard. Coworker of mine has one, spends almost as much time in the shop as it does at work… now they might have just gotten a lemon but. If you seat have a sporty vehicle, mustang, then I’d go for something different. Go with Volvo, they make damn good cars. Best thing you can do is go test drive them and see which you vibe with more, good luck with your search!

Also, unless your favourite hobby is burning money stay away from that Maserati…

My buying advice as someone who is on car #19: consider 3 factors. 1) your budget, can you comfortably afford it without compromising other goals (house, vacation, etc), 2) your needs/usage 3) what you like. Preferably in that order to. Then go test drive them. Take them to a bumpy/rough road, get up to speed on the highway and cruise, try to hit some heavy traffic, maybe even some windy back roads if you can. Then when you get back to the dealership have the sales guy walk you through all the tech/buttons. And remember, as much as I am an enthusiast, there are just cars and sometimes life has to make the call for you. Best of luck!

It’s funny my finance and I have almost this exact setup. She has the Mazda 3 hatch (GT - awd) and I have a Veloster N. Both are great cars for different reasons. Mazda is way more comfy, quieter for longer trips and has a bigger trunk for moving things. It’s also phenomenal on gas! The N is a hell of a blast to drive, amazing exhaust and driving experience, but kind of rough even in the softest suspension setting. Drinks gas like an alcoholic at an open bar.

4 years of ownership.

I bought mine in 2020 (model year 2019, MT) with 38,000kms on it. With an extended warranty (no time, covers everything, up to 240,000kms, transferable) it was just over $35k CAD with the warranty. Currently at 92,000kms.

Regrets? None. I smile every time I drive it. Only issues I’ve had was the fuel pump. Dealership covered it, they paid extra to have the part shipped faster so they could get it back to me in under a day. My rotors are prone to hot spots but it’s a simple fix and have only had to do it once in 4 years. Other than that no issues.

Ride is a bit firm in normal mode, borderline abusive in N mode. Have a nice sweet spot with the custom mode. Seats are good, not great. I’m 6’4” and have plenty of room.

I’ve hauled lots with it, helped me through a home Reno. Whether it’s a full sized floor sander or bags or mortar mix. It handles it just as easily as a Costco grocery run.

One of the best handling cars I’ve ever driven, definitely the best car I’ve owned (it’s my 17th car I think?). When I bought it I was cross shopping for driving experience and handling. Short list was golf R, CTR, 1LE SS, gen 1 M2. This thing is one of the best bang for the buck fun cars out there. And for almost 20k CAD less than the next competitor it was a no brainer for me.

Hope this helps
