The first Adrenalyn XL release was for the 2010 World Cup. For posterity, we've kept some of the old information - see below...

Standard Booster Packs contain 6 cards. The 350 Cards in the series are broken down as follows:

250 x Base Cards
25 x Star players - approximately 1 in every 4 packs
25 x Goal stoppers - approximately 1 in every 4 packs
25 x Fans favourites - approximately 1 in every 8 packs
25 x Champions - approximately 1 in every 24 packs

If you're just starting out on your collection, the starter pack is (as the name suggests) a great way to, erm, get started. It contains a collector's binder, a game mat, 3 packs of cards and an ultra-cool limited edition card. After that, cards come in packs of six.

Amongst many other fine retailers, Bus Stop Toy Shop, based in the United Kingdom, ships Adrenalyn XL Trading Cards World Wide. Non United Kingdom Customers should note that we supply the English Edition, which contains additional England related cards.

IMPORTANT NEWS: Adrenalyn XL has now ceased printing. If you still haven't finished your collection, we recommend that whether you're buying them from us or elsewhere, you buy quickly before stocks run out.
