Although I already bought a base pack, I am hoping to buy a premium pack as well. That Round 3 set will certainly make someone happy, although a gamer pack would be equally as cool - for me anyway. Good luck everyone; it's great to see so much support in this community.

Woot, so have any of the packs gone out yet?  I placed my Base Pack order right after the first email came out, before the Gold pack etc, so is it likely mines already on the way or is it waiting for a batch send out?

It's laminated but the sheet fills up the entire manilla envelope.  I snipped through the edge of the laminate leaving a sharp rough edge instead of the smooth rounded one on the other side.

Yeah at first I tried to peel the envelope open but it wasn't budging so I grabbed a pair of scissors and cut as close to the edge as possible but I still took a piece of the sheet off.
