They all have a card. The Pokemon didn't come with one from the factory I heard, but they should be enroute to buyers.

My pokemon did not come with a card. Will SkyJets400 send it? I would like to have it. It "adds" something to the jet.

Question

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm,

I've gotten 3 of the first 4 releases and squat on the number cards. Like Shawn said, 1 of them was from "the source" and the other two from "the sources good buddy".

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm.

Here's my experience with BB cards on all BB models (except Thai):

1) All came with cards in the box-bought the models in Hong Kong

2) 'Sydney Blue' card is laminated, the others are not.

3) BB places cards under the plastic (bottom of model box) vs. on top or in-between the plastic. Because of the way the models are placed in the boxes, the cards can easily slide out the side under the flap. If your model was packed with "sno-pak" in the shipping box, you may want to do some digging to see if the card slipped out. Everytime I tilted the box with the flap-side facing down, the card slipped out onto the floor so I have since placed the card on top of the plastic.

Hope this helps solve the mystery of any missing cards.

Question

Beside the series-no. my BigBird ANA 744D has the writing 'Premium 2002-04' on the card, my Ansett 743 Olympic blue has 'Premium 2002-02' on it.

Who can tell me the writing on the Pokemon 744D and on the first Ansett 744?

Stefan

Talking about this, the writing in the Thai Royal Barge card is '2002-06' although we all know that this is the fifth release of BB. I was wondering what is the '2002-05'.

2002-05 I imagine will be one of the 'MOST EXCELLANT' releases released.
It might be the one coming up in the next 2 or 3 weeks.

HANG ON to your seats !!
