Last year TheArnoldFans gave you the exciting news of the "Conan the Barbarian" collector cards. Although there were only 9 of them, we were thrilled to have this limited edition set - since the movie cards have never been produced before.



We have ours and they are fantastic! Soon after our staff was told that they were planning on releasing a FULL SET of cards based on both The Barbarian AND The Destroyer; a box set filled with extras.

Here at Rittenhouse we are working on a Conan movie card set that will offer a retrospective look back at the 2 Conan movies made by Arnold Schwarzenegger in the 1980s. To that end, we are tracking down many of the key supporting cast members for autographs.

For awhile TheArnoldFans was helping them with autographs. We even got them in touch with Ben Davidson and Rexor himself agreed to sign many cards. Unfortunately, months later, they tell us their plans are on hold right now.

We are working on a way to utilize the elements we've already acquired (sketch cards and autos) - perhaps a series of 9 card sets, but we've nothing firm now.

Perhaps you Arnold and Conan fans want to tell scifihobby.com (A division of Rittenhouse Archives Ltd.) that you demand the full box set NOW. Maybe your voices will be heard if you raise enough hell and attention. Email: webmaster@scifihobby.com
