BOGOF Perplex City cards on Firebox
8 packs for £12

Just had an email from firebox, they are currently doing BOGOF on the 4 packs of perplexcity cards (that 8 packs for £10 + £2 postage).

You can get this to a completely rediculous price of 8 packs for £7 if you have one of the many £5 firebox vouchers that go around a lot, PM me for links if you needs them.

Just one thing, there is a SEPARATE link for the offer on the page, click the buy under "8 Packs for the Price of 4 - Wave 1-4", just buying wave 1-4 packs will not get you the offer.

This ends at midday next monday as far as I can tellfrom the counter on the site. Hope it helps someone Wink

Just saw the same link and ordered some but got charged £4 for postage making it £9 total (with voucher). Still not bad for 8 packs.

Hmmm, seems strange, maybe they've forgot to update the prices, or maybe its like this on purpose. Oh well, still a great price.

Oh my God, WHAT!

Those bloody silvers must be really rare. I got 16 packs off Firebox, not ONE of them had a silver

Bah!

my experience is that usually a box of cards will have blacks OR silvers, not both. there is no way to know what fFlavour of box you have until you have fFound the fFirst one of either. Anyway. yes. silvers are rare. they do say so, right on the instructions. I think the odds of getting ANY silver is roughly the same as getting a PARTICULAR green.

Which one?






You are weird (and I mean that in the nicest way possible) if you really worked that out, Scott

I'm CONVINCED that there's a huge rarity leap between blacks and silvers. I've got 12 blacks and only one silver
