But I am still not sure I understand why the people in this thread who don't have the promos are so OK with not having them. It seems to me that if you love the game and have any completest tendencies, you would be upset with the idea that these promos may never again be made available. There has been a huge outcry toward AEG, for one example, about promos for Thunderstone and Nightfall disappearing quickly with no plans for reprint. Don't know why I am the only one with an outcry about King of Tokyo. Perhaps there is a difference in devotion to the game or maybe it's because there is a difference in the depth of the game. Not sure.
I'm a completist.
I'd love to have the promo cards.
So, why am I not demanding that they be made available for me to buy?
Because I understand that as promos they're not intended to be sold to every person that buys the game ever. That's not a promo. That's an optional component.
A promo is not like an expansion. It's not aimed at people who have bought the game. It's aimed at people who have not bought it, or who attended a certain show or convention, or whom meet some other conditions.
