I was looking at my Lynx-o today and noticed it is a 14 back. Isnt it supposed to be a 22back showing the other new ones like bengali and jaga etc mine just shows the origanal 14. It has young tygra with wileykat lino with snarf mumra with ravage etc
does anyone know of this or this what it normally is like
You have an American card. All US cards of the final series of figures were 14-back. To be honest I have no idea exactly why this was. I can only assume they used card that had already gone into production before the new catalogue shots had been taken. Though that is purely speculation on my part and not necessarily FACT.
However the UK Rainbow Toys/Toy Options cards are 22-backs. But then these were released probably a year or so after the American ones.
I actually just bought a Tygra on a 22-back card and the same seller was also selling a 22-back Jaga and Safari Joe
Actually I still have the Ebay links to those 2 auctions, here you go:

I did notice my Lynx O being on a 14 back card, my best bet is that being that the 3rd series was at the very end of the toy line LJN decided to use previous card backs to save on cost rather than use new card backs. The Thunderwings Lion O for example it’s speculated that it was released to pretty much get rid of extra merchandise because LJN thought the toy line was at its end…and it was. Therefor why not package Thunderwings and Lion O together to get rid of toys before going under and still make profit. The Lion O with the Thunderwings was also part of the cost saving process because if you notice the Lion O had no battle matic action and the paint was rather simple.Again it is all speculation but IMO it makes perfect sense
How did the transaction go with that guy? He sent me a second chance offer on one I was bidding on but was a little leary.
Well I got Tygra fine. However the card does have a crease down one corner, but the seller did give me a partial refund if I decided to keep the figure. Which I did because I really wanted Tygra on this particular card.
I noticed someone had trouble with the seller about payment going missing. But I paid via Paypal so I was covered and no dispute could arise from whether seller received the payment or not.
So all in all it was a very good transaction in the end for me.
oh ok thanks for clearing that up just seemed to be a bit odd.
22back tygra didnt now they came on these I thought they only came on 8 backs and 14 backs god theres so many tygras. Also does old tyga come on 8 backs never seen one and did lion-o with snarf and mumra with ravage ever come on 8 backs
I had the same question about old Tygras on 8 backs, just recently I found out that there were no old Tygras released on 8 back.Lion O with Snarf and Mummra with Ravage didnt come on 8 backs as far as I know
