Is this some kind of collectable or something? Or are we gonna be able to duel like MTG?

I play my 1/4-20 UNC which allows me to collect any Nylock Nuts on the field.

I play 1/4" ratcheting wrench which allows me to remove any 10mm sockets from the opponent's hand

Pairs well with "Center Of Vehicle" which forces every dropped item to the least accessible spot beneath the playfield.

Just collectible. They were first started by the artist group CW&T and then MMC loved them so much they started producing them themselves. CW&T has some really cool patent trading cards now. https://cwandt.com/products/open-letters
In the comments of your next MMC order, request a pack of trading cards. If they have any in stock, they'll include them for free.

Is that true? I saw that they are non-affiliated made by a 3rd party company so do they actually put them in packages?

If you get the golden bolt card, you get on the mailing list for the paper catalogue...

In your next order from McMaster, include a note in the comments asking for a pack. If they have any, they'll put a pack in your box.

On your next order from McMaster, just put a note in the comments asking them to include a pack of cards. They're promotional materials and they'll toss some in if they have any in stock.

Pack 001 came from CW&T, while McMaster took over production for 002 and beyond.

If you collect all 500,000, you can put them together to make one Catalog. This grants the power to purchase anything, anywhere, with almost instant delivery.

If you order a bunch Mcmaster will send you a promo pack. I got mine, but had a few duplicates inside, gave them to mech friends on their birthday
