About Star Trek CCG Fajo Collection
Rich Loftus Web Writer
Fans of the eagerly awaited Star Trek Customizable Card Game Fajo Collection have plenty of questions about the expansion, which was most recently discussed on the web site in Bill Martinson's recent NewsFlash article Fire and Substance: Martinson talks about Star Trek CCG. Here are a few of the most often-asked questions, provided by our CCG Customer Service Manager, Niki Grandison, and their answers.
1. What is this Fajo Collection that I've been hearing about? What is included in the set?
-
The Star Trek Customizable Card Game Fajo Collection is a unique, highly collectible, limited edition Star Trek Customizable Card Game expansion set. Each set consists of the same exquisitely crafted and completely playable cards, 18 in all, housed in a protective presentation binder, and issued to you with a Certificate of Authenticity bearing the signatures of key members of Decipher's art and product development teams. Each set will contain a Fajo rules document. As a special bonus, Decipher includes a collectible art poster showcasing the entire Star Trek Customizable Card Game universe.
2. How much does the set cost? Where can it be purchased?
-
The complete collection will sell for $80, plus shipping and handling. All ordering information will be made available in the very near future, but here are initial details. The sole means of acquiring Fajo Collection (before it turns up on the secondary market) will be through a company called The Eccentric Order. Purchase must be made with a major credit card.
3. 18 cards for $80 ?
-
Keep in mind that this is a very limited set. How much would you pay for the rarest card in your private card collection?
The artists of Decipher's studios have lavished such attention to the 18 cards that each one is truly a gem. The nature of the collection allowed our artists to explore new card printing techniques. These are super-rare cards containing some of the most innovative features and gameplay ever seen in a collectible card game.
4. Are there any rebates on the cost of The Fajo Collection? Wasn't there a coupon in the Star Trek CCG First Anthology set?
-
Yes, there is a rebate scheme. Each set will contain a Fajo proof of purchase, which activates a $10 rebate voucher from the Star Trek CCG First Anthology. You can use up to 3 of the $10 rebate coupons after your Fajo purchase bringing the price down to a mere $50. When Decipher receives your Fajo proof of purchase plus the rebate voucher(s), the rebate will be applied directly to your charge card.
In addition, each Fajo Collection will contain a $50 rebate voucher redeemable against purchase of the first-ever release of Star Trek: The Next Generation Premiere edition uncut sheets (white border). These will be offered at a normal price of approximately $100 plus shipping and handling: with the Fajo voucher, you will save as much as 50%.
5. Certificate of Authenticity? What is that?
-
The certificate will bear the signatures of key members of Decipher's product development and art teams.
6. How limited is it?
-
Decipher will only produce 40,000 of these highly sought after sets; approximately the same number as the illusive Future Enterprise - our one and only Star Trek CCG Ultra-Rare card.
7. Is there a limit to the number of Fajo Collection sets that I may purchase?
-
Decipher will sell only four to each purchaser.
8. Will retailers be able to purchase this set?
-
Yes, but with the same limit of four per purchaser, and at the same price.
9. Hey, I live in Australia. Will I be able to get this collection?
-
Of course! All ordering information will be updated in the near future and will include instructions for Star Trek CCG fans throughout the world. There will be no "lag time", other than longer shipping times, in its availability to anyone, anywhere.
10. I don't have a credit card!?
-
Accountability to our customers, security and customer service are the three concerns that influenced our choice of major charge cards as the sole form of payment. It doesn"t have to be your card...a friend or family member could let you purchase the set using their card, while you make arrangements to pay them.
11. Can you tell me what cards will be in the set?
-
Not all of them, but here are a couple of clues:
- DNA Metamorphosis- a planet/space dilemma based upon the episode "Identity Crisis."
- Qapla'!- an interrupt written entirely in Klingon.
- Guinan!
- Locutus of Borg!
There are 14 more...each one a treasure.
12. Where can I find all the updated info?
-
As soon as it is available, all ordering information will be posted on Decipher's web site at www.decipher.com, and don't forget card game magazines such as Scrye and Inquest.
13. When will Fajo Collection be available for purchase?
-
We are currently projecting that the item will be available in November. We will probably begin pre-orders in October.
14. What can you tell me about The Eccentric Order?
-
This company will handle the sales of The Fajo Collection. Ordering will be possible via their web site, launching sometime in October, and also via telephone.
