Just a heads-up for anyone who uses the Hasbro cases to store MOC figures. The wave 13 cards are just a little bit wider than previous waves, and they don't quite fit in the cases. You'll wind up with one bent corner if you try. If you're careful, you can make them bow just enough to fit them in, but the back won't fit on all the way. Dunno if this is just a specific run of them, or all of them, but I have two cases of them and have tried figures from each case, with the same results.

I've noticed that in the last couple of wave actually, not just wave 13. slightly wider or taller cards, or smaller than usual boxes.
I think it started around Wave 10 that I noticed.

I just put my wave 13 in and they fit great. I think this is probably a case by case problem and not the overall production run.

Interesting. I hadn't had this problem until this wave. But every single figure from this wave had a problem with one corner.

That may be, especially after Bucky's comment about having this on waves where I did not. Still something to watch out for. Luckily for me, the only one who got a messed up card from it was Firefly, and I had another one still on card that I was able to more carefully put into the case.

Got any specific measurements on the cards? I'm wondering if it's possible to maybe shave a little off all the way around to make them fit.

I'll try to get the measurer out tonight and measure a couple. It wouldn't take much shaving, maybe a couple millimeters.

Now I havn't had any problems with larger card backs, but I have had a number of uneven carbacks ware the white border is way bigger on one side then the other. Has anyone had any problems with this?

had there been a difference with domestic vs. international cardback sizes, possibly switching to one size?

Sorry, just got a chance to measure these.

Older waves: Card top and bottom both measure 5cm 2mm
Wave 13: Card top and bottom both measure 5cm 3mm

That 1mm makes a big difference when shoving them in the cases.
