It looks like it's something specific to the store. Probably what floors contain which items.

This might seem random the lift on card 1 is from sim tower!
Well, actually it looks like 2 lift shafts linked together with the actual lift stretched over both

I haven't got the cards myself and i've never heard of Hamley's but I just thought i'd try the keyword on the perplex city site:
http://www.perplexcity.com/keyword/hamleys/
Solve not allowed, must have to wait until march to get some of these points.
Also, from looking at the pictures on the perplexorum site, don't these cards seem too easy, the 4x4 sudoku one can be done without even solving the puzzle properly

God I hope bumflaps is a Season two card..."Whose bumflaps are these?" That would be so much more fun than billion to one

1. youre in meta, therefore, no trouts
2. that's the best idea for card 1 i've heard of yet. Me and my roomate Bere were trying to figure out what in gods green earth they wanted to konw from that card. (i was thinking 4 tires, 2 feet, 1 piece) but everything is Hamelys related on the cards there, so i'm sure youre right.
EDIT: WOW! I just realized..... Hamelys is the HUGE toystore in london, hun? I'm 29 now, when I was 8 my parents took me there, and let me pick out any toy i wanted!!! ( i got thundercats, wilykit & wilykat) the whole multifloor thinge from sheetal's post reminded me! thanks for making that full circle!

That is what my friend were thinking last night when we were talking about that card....the only problem is that we didn't know how to back it up since we live in the US. I am guessing that would be the most accurate answer.

Season 2 @ hamleys So anyway, interesting story...
- I went to Hamleys today to get their promo cards,
- I went up to the collection of lovely young ladies demonstrating the PXC boardgame
- I asked for the free Perplex City cards please
- she handed me a red card and said solve for a goodie bag
- I said "haven't you got the Hamley's special ones?"
- she said yes here you go [hands me the 5 promo cards]
- Then I look closely at the card she gave me previously... SEASON 2 WAVE 1!!!!!!
I will post some images when I get them scanned
Also for solving the Card I got a live event t-shirt, 3 packs of season 1 cards, and a set of find the cube stickers.
Not bad for a trip to London.

Season 2 Cards Looking more closely at the cards:
They have the back as if they were the 7th card in the new packs - the warm-up card
The new suits (pixel, water etc.) appear to be 'Dice' and 'Playing Card Suits'
Apparently you will be able to "find out more about the tales on the cards at PerplexCityWorld.com"
I think the scan is at the correct dpi etc. - Mods please correct me if I'm wrong.

Season 2 cards Hi, Me again, Sorry for posting separately, but I was going to put this in the card sections....
I was going to post the season 2 card images, but I'm not sure where to put them.
Should I create a new entry in the card sections for each one?
I have 4 red and 2 Yellows.
It's worth noting that the points per card is significantly higher than season 1. Card #001 for instance is worth 100 points.
Which means that the 20 points per card for the Hamley's promo cards are less significant. Which is fair.
Rich
