if it's any consolation, i rang travelling man, and they told me they had pure wave 4 packs. bought a load and they were mixed Sad

is there any way to tell from the pack, if they're pure, or not?

on the flip side, firebox sent me 4 pure packs on friday, which arrived saturday. but i've solved all but 4 of them (3 purple, one black)

no duplicates, but no silvers, either

ah well, should have a booster box arriving tomorrow.

I agree MC could have handled distribution a bit better. I had a pretty fruitless 90 minute trek around central London on Monday lunchtime. Borders: no, Forbidden Planet: didn't know Wave 4 was out "might be in later this week. Or this afternoon", and Playlounge: "yes, they're out today. Don't know when we'll get any".

Forced me to go to the launch in the end and then spend today with an aching head and no sleep. Damn you, Mind Candy!

Ah well, at least Borders rang me yesterday to say that ... the cards still have not arrived.

I have not received a reply to my email complaint to central office...

This problem seems to be to do with the distribution network used by Borders. The staff told me they are "at the mercy of their suppliers" (scary mental picture of black-leather-clad lorry drivers wielding large kitchen knives...)

Still no luck at Borders Teesside. They are all very apologetic and know who I am (even though this was only my second visit in person). Someone is checking every morning. Blumin leather-clad lorry drivers fault I say...
