No bonus crystals in VIP anymore?

As a part of VIP, if you spent enough you used to get bonuses when you purchased diamonds. There was a one time purchase bonus where you got 3000 for $9.99 and one where you got 30,000 for $99. There was also a repeatable month long bonus where you got 25,000 for $99. This was active through yesterday.

Today I log in and there are no bonuses. At a minimum I should have the one time $9.99 bonus under the old system for how much I spent. Did they do away with the bonuses completely, have they not been added back in for this month yet, or is my app/account just messed up?

VIP level questions

I'm still trying to figure this out. I don't usually spend to much in game. Every other month or so I'll purchase the $9.99 season pass. Just to reload diamonds and get the extra coins cards and stuff too. I just got a notice that my VIP level is expiring or something. I didn't read it closely. I'm currently a VIP 3 there is a timer saying almost 23 hours then a point counter under all of that. See included screenshot. . . What the heck is all of this and how does it work? I STILL DON'T UNDERSTAND this portion of the update.

Thanks in advance.

I was at first not a big fan of the new update but now that some time has passed I have gotten use to it but I wonder why is it that they made to look at your collection or clicking to look at a card smaller than what it use to be?

Holy Crap it has been my weekend! 1/1 Wolverine!

Just finished my leveling up and claimed 1250 diamonds for finishing level 100. I used them for one pack of FF chrome and pulled this Wolverine 1/1 which is my second 1/1 in the last 24 hours... I need to play the lottery! This is one of the coolest wolverine cards I've seen

I packed it and now I’m going to defend why I think it’s (at least a little) cool

For the same reason I thought it was neat they put those actors in the movie…they played Johnny Storm and Ben Grimm in Roger Cormans ill fated, never released 1994 FF movie. You’ve got to be a comics nerd of a certain vintage (old lol) to remember when this happened. Here’s a quick breakdown…..

The 1994 Fantastic Four film, produced by legendary B-movie king Roger Corman, is one of Hollywood's most notorious "lost" movies. It was never officially released. The production was secretly designed as a low-budget rights-retention scheme by producer Bernd Eichinger to prevent Marvel from reclaiming the Fantastic Four's film rights.
Because Eichinger's contract with Marvel required him to start filming a movie by December 1992 or lose the rights, he hired Corman to quickly push a feature into production. Working on a shoestring budget of roughly $1 million, director Oley Sassone and a dedicated cast managed to shoot the entire film in just 25 days in late 1993.
The cast and crew actually took their jobs very seriously, hoping the movie would launch their careers. However, even before post-production was completed—and right around the time the cast was preparing for a theatrical release and press tour—the movie was suddenly pulled. Investors reportedly bought out the film, halting its distribution to prevent it from ever reaching the public.
Since the sole purpose of the production was to fulfill a contract and keep the rights from expiring, the studio (Constantin Film) got exactly what it needed without having to spend the money required for a real theatrical rollout.

I bought my VHS bootleg copy (still have it!) at a comics convention in 1996, and it remains one of my all-time favorite “so bad it’s AWESOME” movies ever. It’s great that someone on the production thought it’d be a good idea to finally get these guys a chance to be in a big FF movie all these years later. No, even the physical version of this isn’t worth a pile of money. But for a brick, it’s at least got a story behind it lol. Here’s the YouTube link to the original trailer

If you poke around the internet you can find the entire movie. Choices were made lol. Enjoy!
