I'm in Florida so I'm probably looking at receiving them over the weekend due to the mail lag.

Congrats to all the card set recipients! I'm still hopelessly stuck in the early levels — too fast computer, too slow reflexes.
Must try on a slower machine ... or implant a faster brain!

I may end up with two Space Paranoids, D-Con 4, Kraz-bot and Astrogunner postcards since people are still getting the ones that have the code and now are starting to get a complete set.

Anyone else got any Japanese vanac grasp?
i cant see the pictures at work, i'll take a look at them tonight if i can.
Hehe, maybe some really lonely, geeky, resourceful GAMES WORKSHOP employee can creat an addictive card game, akin to Tron Legacy, just using and utilizing all 6 of these collector cards :
A nerd, grasping and holding his TL collector cards peers strategically at another nerd holding the same number cards. He shudders at how much he completely misunderstands the 6 minute explanation he got on how to play this game, he picks up a 30 sided clear dice and throws it across the table. It rolls a bit and stop with the 'power symbol' facing up, both nerds, totally clueless, just shrug their shoulders and continue to play.
I have a feeling that it doesn't matter if you were "among the first" to beat all 32 levels, since that's something that's kind of hard to ascertain; they don't tell you, and there are almost certainly players we don't know about that may be ahead of the curve. I think that anyone who finishes all the levels before the SDCC is going to get a full set of postcards. After all, postcards, compared to pins and ENCOM badges, are relatively cheap and easy to ship. You can print out thousands at low cost.
Of course, for you collectors out there, it means your postcards are not going to be valuable for a very long time, if at all.
Since I beat all the levels, I'm hoping I get a full set of cards. I might frame them together, might make for a neat "retro" decor.
You are right, probably, they will just send out 'smaller combo' packages for those whom clear all the levels 'close to/in the middle of/after Comic-Con' with leftover 89 pins/Space Paranoids pins/89 sticker decals...but that's really up to them. Still, this set of cards is probably their 'nicest swag touch' to date! If any are wondering...my Cycles total score was 94,000 after 32 levels, years of playing computer emulator games (From NES to Turbograx 16) really do pay off...

Ok, pics as promised; here's a look at that missing 7th card:
...and the back:
...and a close-up of that Japanese text:
So... can somebody read Japanese? I took two years of Japanese in high school, but unless the message says "Where is the bathroom?", I'm not going to be able to decipher it.
Oh, and yes - I was one of the first people to beat all 32 levels on Circuit Cycles, which is why I'm guessing I received this. Although I AM also registered for Comic-Con as press...
I beat it that same day too, so I haven't seen them yet. Fingerscrossed! I AM registered for Comic-Con as well... I work for CCI. But being registered as press won't make a difference on getting these I think.

Nice... I cannot wait to get these in the mail. I stayed up super late beating the game in hopes that something like this would happen.

In a pinch, run it through translate.google.com as English to Japanese and then use the result in a Japanese to English translation.
Yep, that was the first thing I thought of - I ran the English text through Babelfish, but the Japanese translation that came up looked completely different. I'm guessing it just put everything in hirigana, though, while I believe parts of the card text are in katakana (Hey, whaddya know - I DO remember something from high school Japanese class! ).
