 		Out of the 9 packs I have so far bought, I have 4 different designs on the front.

1. Parking meter
2. Cofee Cup
3. Telegraph Pole
4. Perplex City Cards on table

while going through all the images on peplexcity, i noticed something odd which is probably nothing however, there are two identical pictures up with different file names... http://www.perplexcity.com/lostphotos/image7.jpg and http://www.perplexcity.com/lostphotos/image9.jpg

 		I think they cards will start making sense in strange and unpredictable ways that we could never have forseen but will be completely logical when when see it happen. We just need to buy more cards.

Or maybe its just a really good marketing ploy for firebox.

 		Packaging
I suppose I will get screamed at for posting on a 2-year-dormant thread, I just started, and noticed some pecularities in the packaging of the cards that I received.

I received two store-bought packs, one that contained Wave 1 and 2 cards, and another that contained Wave 2-4 cards. These packs both had the
LOST. THE CUBE
*** REWARD ***
&100,000
$200,000
PERPLEXCITY.COM
sign on them in front of some unknown sculpture. (I apologize for not attempting to use accurate international currency symbols.)

I also received a Starter box that had two packs in it. Both contained Pre-Release Wave 0.5 cards. One had the above sign on what appears to be a lamppost (not including the US $ amount) and the other on some sort of vehicle (does not include the UK & amount, US $ amount in red) next to a tag that reads "OF MACHINE, NO RESPONSIBILITY CAN BE TAKEN FOR LOSS OR DAMAGE TO ANY VEHICLE OR ....IN ON OR ABOUT ... HOWEVER SUCH ... DAMAGE"

The first pair and the second pair are almost identical, with slight coloration differences in the logo. There are two other differences, however. The Prerelease packs have a different UPC code and the bar code is shorter, allowing the left side of the back to be spaced further apart vertically.

The other more recent pair has a taller UPC bar code as well as an ISBN 0-9552970-1-X above it. These packs ALSO include a Guest Puzzle Architect and Guest Artist credit on the bottom right corner of the "Twisty Little Passages" card shown. I do not have the actual card, but these lines are NOT on the same card image that is on the prerelease packaging, NOR is it on the sticker of this same card that was included in the Starter kit. I am, however, unable to make out the name, but I believe both of the names are the same.

There is a difference between the game hints ad on the back of the red and orange cards between the sets as well, but I'll look for an appropriate topic before posting.
