Monster Invasion Ultimate Set

On or around July 2012, a third a national set of 126 foiled cards were available. A full set of all of these cards were available exclusively with Doctor Who Monster Invasion magazine and not available to purchase separately. Packs included a mix of cards: 6 foiled trading cards comprising of 5 Rare and 1 Ultra Rare card. These cards followed the same categories as established in the previous releases. A further four, magazine-exclusive, Ultra Rare flip cards were included along with the magazine issues 32, 38, 45, 52. Doctor Who Adventures issue 280 included the fifth of the additional Ultra Rare magazine-only cards.

Taken from the Magazine themselves:

"The current set of Doctor Who Monster Invasion cards has proved so popular, that we’re launching a third exclusive set of cards called the Doctor Who Monster Invasion Ultimate collection.

You will start receiving these fantastic cards from issue 32. The new set will total 126 cards including 4 special Preside cards that feature Rory and a Silent, Amy and a Weeping Angel, the Doctor and Supreme Dalek and the Doctor and the Doctor’s Ganger.

PLUS as a subscriber you will be sent a fifth special edition Silence Will Fall card with issue 33!

There will be a specific pack of cards with each issue so you won’t receive any duplicates and are guaranteed to complete the whole of the Ultimate collection if you continue to subscribe. Each pack contains five rare cards and one ultra rare card. The new Ultimate collection cards are totally exclusive to Doctor Who Monster Invasion readers and will not be on sale separately in the shops!

Your first pack of Ultimate collection cards – including the first special edition card – are enclosed with issue 32 of the magazine.

We hope you continue to enjoy Doctor Who Monster Invasion and collecting the new Ultimate trading cards."

As a result of the exclusive subscriber cards, and those from magazines specifically the Ultimate Set is now slightly rarer than those of the other two due to limited printing as they were not released in separate packs, and the packs with the magazines guaranteeing a full set, and therefore making spares more sparce.
