Goodwill Gaming Week Wrap-Up: Collectible Games AND LoEB!!!

Well it's Sunday night. I can't really see myself stretching Goodwill Gaming Week any further... even though I had 2 more posts planned for after this one. This one's going to serve me some double duty as well. Everything included in this post is up for sale or trade, to go along with this week League of Extraordinary Bloggers assignment: Trading Post! I'm sneaking this in just under the deadline.

Eh. You'll see them at some point. Today I'm focusing on collectible games that I've found cast-off at Goodwill. I'm almost always surprised to find these considering how attached we geeks get when it comes to our collectibles. I'm going to be brief about each game here, but post a bunch of pictures of the entire contents of the boxes. 

First up is the X-Men Trading Card Game starter set. This is mostly based off the style of the first X-Men film, with characters that did not appear in that film included... but included in the style as if they could have been included in that first film. Just look through the card art and you'll see what I mean. I don't remember where I actually bought these, but I know I got them secondhand, and I know I got them cheap. 

Here's the playmat and the instructions.

Punch-out counters, rule book, and the back of the box.

All the character cards that were included.

Exclusive foil card still in the plastic.

Examples of other types of cards. Really look carefully at these.
See the Juggernaut? Sinister? Bishop?

A deck of Magic: The Gathering cards. This is a part of an expansion concerned with the Multiverse. The deck is a fire-themed one. There are a TON of Goblin cards included. I paid .99 cents for these at Goodwill.

One side of the instructional poster included. 

Other side.

Mountains.

The four non-goblin cards in the deck.

More goblins than you can shake a David Bowie at.

Next up we have a Harry Potter Casting Stones Starter Pack. I have no idea how this is even played. I didn't bother to read the instructions yet. But it already exhausts me just looking at it. 

What?

The stuff.

Play mat.

Casting stones.

Rules.

More rules. 

Objective?

WTF are casting stones?

Quick Reference?

Wizards of the Coast (who also do the Magic: The Gathering cards AAAND the X-Men cards above) also did a Harry Potter collectible card game. Just looking it over it looks like it plays very similarly to Magic: The Gathering... except with... you know, Harry Potter stuff. 

Box contents.

Exclusive foil wizard/witch cards.

Creatures.

Lessons.

Spells.

Included play-mat and rules.

Closer look. 

Etc.
