Borderlands 2 Top Trumps Cards Exclusive to Independent UK Stores

In a classy move by publishers 2K, a set of Limited edition Borderlands 2 Top Trumps cards will be offered as pre-order incentives at selected independent UK retailers.

As an alternative to the numerous pre-order incentives offered via the big retail chains, indies will be exclusively dishing out the cards, which feature 30 of Borderlands 2’s craziest weapons. 

The “Guns Guns Guns Pack" is genuinely limited too. "Only 5000 packs of cards will be distributed across the country and will be available on a first-come-first served basis to those who pre-order Borderlands 2,” said Ben Lawrence, UK PR Manager at 2K Games.

“Once they're gone, they're gone so I'd encourage people to check with their local Indie store to see if they're stocking the cards. We want to turn everyone in Vault Hunters!"

Borderlands 2 hits on September 18th in North America and Sept 21st in Europe. Oh, and there's a funky "de-make"  browser game available to play for free now too. Give it a bash here.

Excellent, it's about time devs realised us gamers are sick of high street stores like Game and HMV! Power to the little people!

It's a shame I've already got the Loot Chest pre-ordered as I would be all over this.

Incentive? So they're just going to sit in a draw for all eternity! When only 5000 packs are available, you're not going to find m/any to play with. It's hilarious that they can't even spell the word 'where' correctly either. Pathetic.

Right, I'm popping straight down my local independent store... if only there was one, it got killed off 10 years ago by Blockbuster, Game and Gamestation all being in the same small town.
