I still have my Clow Cards from that time. First bought a set at MegaCon but it was missing a few cards. Got the set I have now when KB Toys was shutting down.

Still have my set from 2001 from my host family. So much nostalgia. I feel this series is getting a reboot or something soon.

I actually still have mine too... My friend gave them to me in 2003 since she didn't want them anymore. They're my treasure.

So I have something like this on my wish list for a while now, cause I wasn't sure how legit it was and it didn't come with amazon shipping. Now I can get this.

Wait, they released Sakura cards as well? I only saw the normal cards back then.

Yes there is a Sakura Cards set well admittedly I did buy them second hand from Ebay so I can't comment if they are officially licensed merchandise or not. I didn't get the impression they were knockoffs because the product was good but they clearly came from China originally

I don't think they were released in the US, but there is an official set of Sakura Cards, which I have. They come in a hard plastic "book," and if you turn it on and put a card in the slot in the front cover, it'll name the card.

I had an old set given to me by a friend, but then things happened and all the cards were destroyed by water...
So... I'll gladly purchase this if my wallet allows...

Ah... I was afraid something like this would happen. It's great for newer fans and those who weren't able to get one back in the day, but as an older fan who spent a ton of time, money and effort tracking all the merchandise down, this is kind of a slap in the face.

I know it's selfish, but that's the fact of the matter.
