I got my long awaited copies of VIPER-M1 and VIPER-M5 in the mail today!
Both are used copies, so (unfortunately) the M1 set is missing its telecas, but the M5 set came complete with the most awesome VIPER throw-in Sogna ever devised: a complete playing card set featuring VIPER characters. I'd seen a card or two of these in pictures online before, but I thought only the Jokers and Aces had pictures. As it turns out, all 54 have pictures of VIPER characters and no card has the same image as another (though some characters appear on more than one.) Becuase its so cool I just had to scan some for you fine folks:
Obviously, the upper right is the backside image of all the cards.
I should also note that with original M5 discs, I now have the full audio for the game - all the torrents you'll find online are sans CD-DA tracks. If you want a piece of that, M5 will once again be an option in this year's "All I Want for Christmas Is a New VIPER Game!" thread in a few months.
Also, my Japanese seller sent me a number of flyers for Japanese DVDs, not that I'm terribly interested in any of them: Pretty Cure: the Movie: Max Heart; One Piece: the Movie: Karakuri Castle (mail-in contest flyer); Polyphonica; Peace Maker (order form flyer); and Stamp Out. They're all about 8"x11" except Polyphonica's which is only about 5"x7". If you're interested in acquiring one or more of these flyers let me know.
