Bonus Cards?

[Kang]

In the latest Communique, and indeed in all the Communiques I remember, there is a mention of 'Bonus Cards':

"Many stores have already signed up, and prizes (a series
of “bonus cards� used to give ships a special ability) are being
mailed out to those stores".

Is there any way in which we faithful fans could possibly get their hands on these? It seems a shame if there are game universe items that are kind of out of reach to the dedicated players, especially as they sound like a lot of fun!

I for one would be willing to pay for these if they were sold either as 'real' items, or as electronic downloads on e23.

Same here.

The bonus cards only go to stores because stores will throw a walleyed fit if we give them to anyone but stores.

The card gives you a one-game bonus of some kind, a free HET, or heavy drones, or something. It's part of the in-store league.
