Bumping the living hell out of this thread to share a bit of childhood wish fulfillment/irresponsible waste of adult money. I don’t know about you guys, but I used to adore the Star Wars Customizable Card Game from Decipher in the 90s. The game itself was a little over my head, but I loved collecting the cards (as much as a nine-year-old without any money can really collect anything). Anyway, a couple of times in recent years I’ve tried to make decks from my old collection, but I was missing some essential stuff and I was never able to get a satisfying game going with my friends. The other day, though, I came across a factory-sealed booster box of the game’s base set on ebay, and while it probably would have been cheaper and/or easier to order singles from somewhere, I couldn’t resist the opportunity to tear through an entire box of packs in one go like I always wanted to as a kid (they were from the much more abundant and less valuable white-bordered printing, so any serious collectors need not get stressed out about my childish need to open packages). This stuff combined with my old cards should definitely be enough to get me playing, and it only took me 16 years after it went out of print. Good lord is this packaging a nostalgia trip.
