The Weta Collection refers to a specific set of promotional cards earned by players during a promotion in summer of 2004. Similar to the Countdown to the King promotion, players could earn one new Weta card per week by purchasing booster pack product from participating retail stores.[1]
Rather uniquely among standard legal Promotional cards released in set 0, the cards in the Weta Collection were not "preview" cards, which is to say that they were never reprinted "for real" in a later set. Thus, some formats that aim to include Movie Block-era cards tend to carve out an exception to explicitly mark 0P56 - 0P60 as legal, although this is a controversial topic. The blank versions of the Customizable League Cards are the only similarly-orphaned promotional cards.
Cards[edit]
- Ghan-bûri-Ghan, Chieftain of the Woses (0P56)
- Radagast's Staff (0P57)
- Anárion, Lord of Anorien (0P58)
- Erkenbrand, Master of Westfold (0P59)
- Tom Bombadil's Hat (0P60)
Weta Workshop[edit]
Like 4 of the cards from The Countdown Collection, these cards were produced in collaboration from Weta Workshop, the special effects team that worked on the films. See Weta Book Cards for more information on the design and development of these images.
