Re: Bicycle Natural Disasters Series
Now that I can see and compare the backs throughout the series, I kinda like what they're doing here. I still think they're missing opportunities by not having the blurred (implying shaky) volcano backs or twisted Tornado / Hurricane backs, but even so. It's more interesting now seeing the progression. I'm still sitting this out for now, but if the price is right, I can see picking these up at some point down the road.

You must be seeing something I'm not. What ARE they doing here? Genuinely not a rhetorical or condescending question.rousselle wrote:Now that I can see and compare the backs throughout the series, I kinda like what they're doing here.

Other than the Blizzard back being slightly more spiky/icicle-y, and the Hurricane back having a somewhat spiralling center element, they all look extremely similar to me with only very minor alterations.

Re: Bicycle Natural Disasters Series
I'm with Tom here. I have no need for this series but it's certainly not the worst out there. I've said it before and I'll say it again- I wish E would continue their "elements" series (Ignite, Fathom) ![Sad :(](./images/smilies/icon_e_sad.gif)

Re: Bicycle Natural Disasters Series
I would've got the Tornado deck if they weren't lazy on the courts.

Re: Bicycle Natural Disasters Series
I've given this a bit of thought, and I've come to the conclusion that you're right. What I saw / see is subtle. But, really, it's too subtle. I still like the progression more than any one stand alone deck, but given the pricing... yeah, I'm going back from "sitting this out for now" to "sitting this out."MagikFingerz wrote:You must be seeing something I'm not.

And, the faces... yeah, the faces are really not doing it for me. Again, an interesting idea, but a lot of missed opportunity here.
It's too bad they don't run some of these project through here for feedback the way GW does.
Alas.

Re: Bicycle Natural Disasters Series
I received my Volcano deck and like it very much, forget the rest.
