Upper Deck, who are making the upcoming Trading Card Game for Neopets, have today released a landing page with details of what the first release of the TCG will include.
As part of this, they have announced that the two themed starter boxes will each include a code for an exclusive avatar, and the avatar will be different based on which themed box you buy. (We confirmed this with Upper Deck: in other words, two new avatars for the two boxes.) There is no release date or ordering information available currently.
However, the landing page also includes a link to sign up for a newsletter to receive news of the TCG as it releases. Signing up for this newsletter enters you into a sweepstakes competition, the prize for which is an avatar! Although not stated, it is assumed this will be the UD TCG - Arcade Shoyru avatar previously available as a rare item code from Upper Deck convention exclusive promotional cards.
Note: This sweepstakes is only available to residents of Canada and most of the USA (see the terms for details). You may still sign up for the newsletter if you don't qualify, but cannot win the avatar. The sweepstakes is only open until March 14th.
