as a huge twilight fan, this was so fun to watch! you can definitely tell that whoever created this set didn't speak much english/didn't watch the movies because a lot of the stuff you pointed out as being weird was, in fact, weird. the quotes were right from the movies but didn't match up to the characters - some of the jacob (the werewolf) cards had quotes from edward (the vampire). the duplicate of edward cullen that you pointed out as being a different person is correct - that's riley biers, a side character, so not sure why they labeled that as edward! the cards that say "amanecer" are in Spanish, and its a translation of the last book's title (breaking dawn, but amanecer means like sunrise). they have "part 1" written on them (i think) because there are two parts to the movie adaptation of that book. I'm not sure why they chose to use the Spanish title of that movie (or if they even realized) but its kinda cool. the scene cards are prominent/memorable scenes from the books. the child-looking one that you got the booklet for is the half-human, half-vampire child of bella and edward (the vampire who she ends up with). as far as i know there is no significance to the color of the glitter! in the series, vampires' skin sparkles under the sun (lol), but there's not like specific colors assigned to specific vampires. the fight scene on the inside of the box is hard to explain without paragraphs of lore, but on the left-hand side is the cullen family AND the werewolves (they form an alliance after jacob, the werewolf who is featured in the film cell card, falls in wolf love with edward and bella's baby (yes I'm serious)). your boy garrett is fighting with them to protect the baby. on the right side is some evil vampires who want to kill the baby because they think its a threat to their vampire secrecy and a threat to humanity. sorry for the infodump but wanted to provide you with some context for the set! this is a really cool set though and i’m thinking about picking one up for myself! garrett is definitely a fan favorite character of the franchise so you're valid in wanting his signature card! would love to see you do an unboxing of more of these!
Woah... that's kind of amazing to read - thank you for posting all that! I did buy 3 more boxes of this, cause I just can't live without a Lee Pace card. I will definitely use this information in the next video once those arrive. Knowing more about who is on that booklet makes me like it even more as a card, that's a cool bit of the story.
I have sold many cards before, I'm not a big ebay seller or anything though - that always seems like a conflict of interest to what I'm doing with the channel. If you want to email me at tradingcardarchivist@gmail.com we could arrange something I'm sure.
@@TradingCardArchivist okay! I just ordered 3 boxes last night, I’ll let you know if I get anything Garrett related too :) he was only in the last movie so finding anything related to him in Twilight is pretty rare but if your his fan you should watch atleast the last movie, Breaking Dawn Part 2, he did a phenomenal job, I never noticed him before the films.
They are great quality cards although if you read the other comments on this it seems there are quite a few errors and cross-genre stuff in there. Like that "Winter is Coming" booklet card I opened is obviously not from Twilight 😂 Still I got a Lee Pace card, and that always makes me happy.
These look much better than I expected. I ordered 2 boxes from the C1LUX store and 2 boxes of one piece, but they only shipped 1 box of each, so I'm waiting for them to ship the other ones.
Hi. Thanks for the informative video. There's little to no information on these cards so great to see a video. My guess is random unlicensed manufacture. It was really useful to be able to compare some of the cards I received from this set with yours and gave me a much better idea of their origin. I've been collecting Twilight Trading cards for over 10 years including the original official Inkworks and Neca base cards as well as some of the promo and fan cards and there's a lot of mistakes and inconsistencies with these new cards. Including the fact these are very thick cards. None of the original cards are this thick and just the usual Trading Card thickness. The Garret / Lee Pace card you're after is likely a print from the internet and the 2nd signature / image features JK Rowling who wrote the Harry Potter franchise not Stephenie Meyer who is the original Twilight Franchise author. The booklet emblem is from Game of Thrones (Winter is Coming is known text from GoT as well as the emblem image which is a GoT house emblem). The extra Edward Cullen one is actually a character from the 3rd movie Eclipse, Riley Biers who is an antagonist of the movie. And there's a bunch of other choices that don't really make sense such as the flavour text on some cards being completely irrelevant to the scenes shown, other name and /or character mistakes, the colours of certain cards etc.
Yeah you got it nailed there, definitely bootlegs and some of the mistakes are just silly/weird. I’d been looking at that older ink works set - would you recommend it?

I loved the movie and the novel of twilight I did not expect it these cards to be so good ❤

'I should have done research but I didn't want to' 😂😂 I'm shocked the cards are so nice! Ive only seen the first movie.
I tried to come up with a better excuse on the spot... but I had nothing 🤣 I'm still hunting my Garrett card, bought 3 more boxes.
These look much better than I expected. I ordered 2 boxes from the C1LUX store and 2 boxes of one piece, but they only shipped 1 box of each, so I'm waiting for them to ship the other ones.
These cards are honestly quite pretty!
They really are, I also love the variety of styles - like the way the film strip card has multiple cells in it.

Sure thing! This set was so much better than I expected, I've got 3 more boxes on the way.
