So I'd been eyeing these G1 calendar cards from Portugal, I see them pop up on ebay from time to time. Usually individual or a handful of several but never a complete set. I chewed over the idea of trying to collect them all, cause it is a set of 63. It looks like they come together to make a picture, otherwise why would you have to collect all 63? Well a full set caught my eye and I went ahead and bought it. After waiting 2 weeks I got my package yesterday and excitedly spread out on the floor with my cards to see what it assembled. Within 5 minutes my excitement was replaced with disappointment it doesn't make anything. It's just random pictures, a few of them do line up together but that's all. There are many cards where half a pony or image is missing like it should line up with another card but no such luck, it's just random cuts. Boo!!!
I can only assume maybe they had leftover scrap or images and were like, what can we do with these? And came up with pocket calendars to use it up. And then someone had the idea of, hey, we'll sell more if we number them and tell kids they gotta collect them all even though they don't fit together to be anything. Boo!!
They're still pretty neat though and the images are fun but man, what a disappointment, my little OCD heart expected them to come together to make a scene or something! Boo!!
