Replacement cards from Hasbro... official or photocopied?

Early on, when folks would send in requests to Hasbro to have HS cards replaced, there were many complaints that the cards they were sent were black and white photocopies.

Is this still the case? Has anyone requested a replacement for a damaged or missing army card and received the real thing? And has this been going on for a while now, and I'm just completely oblivious to it?

Just curious... and once I get an answer, a mod can feel free to lock this thread if he or she so desires.

JPX, they do sell replacement parts over at Hasbro CS, and as far as I know that includes cards. A while back an expansion I got came with the wrong cards, I contacted customer service and they sent me the correct, official, "real" cardboard army cards.


Guess who's back, back again? Chilli's back. Tell Skahen.

But it wasn't an actual card, correct? And when was this?

It was not an actual card, just an 8.5 x 11 piece of paper with the front and the back of the card printed on it in color. This would have been after they changed the wording of the Death Reavers.

Best option, scan all your cards when you first get them at a good resolution.... if any fall apart, reprint them on white cardstock.

I'm not trying to down Hasbro in any way. I'm just curious why it's so difficult to send actual cards as opposed to the copies that seem so prominent? They're already paying for postage to send the item. Why not send the real deal?

Apologies for my lack of insights. I was wondering if the problem had been resolved. Currently the count is 1 and 1, with an official card and a photocopied card received.

In response to JpX above, I do think they should sell replacement cards. This may be problematic for those who actually were jipped a card in their sets. Though really, that's a different matter all together. It's one thing to spill a drink on your card. It's another thing to just never have gotten a card right from the start.

I just emailed WOTC customer service to get replacements for KidScaper's Kilts & Commando cards. I'll post if, when & how they respond.

That would be great if you could. Especially now since these requests go through WotC.
