When I was younger I fell for the 'collectible' game series.  I was into
Doomtrooper and Imajica cards.  I spent a lot of my hard-earned cash
attempting to 'collect' these entire series, buying boxes and boxes of
cards.

But these companies enjoyed torturing me, keeping my goal just beyond my
reach.  Doomtrooper increased its volume with the seemingly un-ending
introduction of expansion sets.  Imajica went out of print long before I
could even hope to obtain my goal.

I have shoe boxes filled with these cards, carefully filed and catalogued.
 Not being used or enjoyed, just taking up space in my closet.  And filled
primarily with un-godly numbers of the dreaded common cards.

Now I'm not saying that this game will have the same result.  I will just
be leery of investment into something that I cannot obtain in its entire.

Will the company offer the entire series as a set? or will they dole out
these 'pieces', forcing us to buy endless numbers of the same pieces in
order to obtain that one good piece.  If the latter, I have absolutely no
intention of even considering purchasing a single part of the game.
