I've got this now. Album definitely has things concealed in it, I've emailed Hesh records and they say that I can't upload it Sad however, they say

few other goodies - watch this space
The magazine is really just an intro to Perplex City, with a few puzzles in the back, the solutions are at http://www.perplexcity.com/magazine.html, no hidden sites as far as I can see. The folder is nice, but for one design flaw. There are exactly 256 pockets, this includes 2 at the front and 2 at the back that don't make a pretty four like the others. I've decided to omit cards from it to make them viewable as a set, shame. It comes in a box with a maze on the front, and it has a sheet of stickers, a 24 hour guide, and a leitmark in it. the Four packs (at least in mine) were all wave 1. Incidentally, on 55 packs of cards, 41 were wave 2, and 14 were wave 1, so approximately correct in the 3:1 thing.

55 PACKS!?!?! hot damn!

The maze on the box covers all the sides by the way, which is a nice touch.

The magazine has a few puzzles in, but noting inherently 'new'. A bit of bio on the CRP team, a slightly different letter from sente (but similar to the old, original letter.

My Packs were 2:2 wave1 to wave2, so i guess you were just unlucky with the cards Ollie Sad

the most interesting bit is where they name their favourite cards. Anna's is 002 Designer Flakes, Aiko's is 035 Smile. No pictures outher than cartoony headshots lifted from the academy page.

The four packs of cards that came in my starter pack were all Wave 1 too.
I suspect that these packs were put together before Wave2 cards were out.

A little poor given the timing.

However, I did well on the other packs I ordered from FireBox, meeting or better than the 3:1 ratio.

The Wave 2 cards with each Wave2 pack are defintely more randomised than the Wave 1 ones.

Of the Wave 1 packs I got this time round I think 2 were completely identical.

I don't believe that any of the Wave 2 ones were identical.

I managed to get 2 identical wave 2 packs so I don't think the distrubution is fully sorted yet, although wave one cards were MUCH worse.

Well, now we know two more card titles, likely from Wave 3?

actually, I was most interested in the new biographic info on Susan Marchant and Hesketh Zeller. Can someone put these in the wiki, please? I'll do it later tonight otherwise.
