How many of the foil embossed 25th figs were made and released into the wild and are they really worth that much more than regular foil carded figs? I never noticed the difference and didn't see any of them(didn't know what I was looking for at the time) and I think I may have opened up a couple of wave 2 embossed Cobra Troopers. I have almost 60 of the wave 2 trooper and at least 15 of them have been MOC ones. I will have to check the cardbacks later today and see if any where the embossed versions. Hope not if they are worth more.
Ive also wondered if there is a definitive list of the foiled cards. I noticed, during my initial 25th hunting that some of the cards were foiled and it seemed like the later waves weren't, I always assumed that Hasbro simply made the packaging change to save money. It never occurred to me at the time that the foiled figures would be worth more. I shouldve known this considering that I was a big collector of the IDW Transformers comics, they had four different versions of every damn cover, geez what a sucker I was, being a completist that I am. I am every comic book publishers ultimate dream, LOL. |

I knew they had the foil version of all figures in the first 7 waves + Major Blludd(wave 8) and then re-released them as comic and/or cartoon packaged cards. I did not, however, know that there was the regular foil and then an embossed foil until yesterday when I got the wave 4 Scarlett embossed foil from Shopko and then noticed how much shinyier it was than all the rest of the foil cards. Checked out my watched items on ebay and saw a bunch of embossed foil cards and then realized there really was a difference on the foils and not just my eyes playing tricks on me.

I see...
well, the ones i have are between those two. They are obviously more silvered than the ones on the bottom, but not "carved" like the ones in the top...
