Is Knap doing the stats? He hasn't been around the boards for a while.
The other thing that could be that Chikara has some preference as to stats... they might say something like 'We're pushing Archibald Peck in the summer, so make sure he's almost as good as Quack" or whatever.
As far as parity goes, I see what you're saying, but I've found that when I've had parity I've lost interest fast.
The other thing that strikes me is that these are in color, and the other cards are in black and white. If they were meant to be used together, I'd think they'd do something like they did with GWF, and re-issue some cards in color.
Or maybe they'll be compatable and they WILL do that.. that'd be interesting.
I think I'm mostly with Executioner, though... whether I buy it or not will depend on price and roster.

I find parity can be fun. But I'm really experimental with my LOTF fed. I have the Chikara tag team point system in place. I had a King of the Deathmatch Trophy for a year. I did a lot of stuff like that. It's been modern booking fed.

I think knap knows already how they want the stats to end up being so he can be working on them. Can't waste time if he makes them stronger than they say no or vice versa. That, the price, whether it's all known or not, FG never says anything until just before if then. Wonder how the decision to release in late June at a Chikara show went over with the guys doing the stats, the art, and the handbook. Moves the deadline up just a little bit. As the guy writing the handbook, the move up in date wasn't that big a deal, just a bit of a kick in the pants to get this done a bit earlier. Werner is close to done, so not a big deal for him either. For those wondering the new character, existing character breakdown I believe its right around 50/50. However even for the guys in LOTF, the new move sets will be updated to reflect their current characters. I dont know how the strengths of the cards will turn out, as thats not in my hands, but I know that this set will be designed so that it can operate as a stand alone for those that would be new to the game, but can easily work with other FG products. I would expect someone like Claudio to be stronger than his original card, but he wont be on the Harley race level or anything like that. No idea on price, and not sure if thats been decided yet. I'm sure it will be fairly priced as to not scare away any new game fans. I would have to guess its more than the regular Legends box set, but less than the GWF color set. Doesnt help much, I know. Hope you guys like what comes out, I know a bunch of us have been working hard to have this come to fruition.

I'm sure it will be good. Price will be the biggest thing for me. I figure at some point I will pick it up but it might not be as soon as it's released.

Price isn't an option for me. Especially with Frightmare and Tursas already announced. Los Ice Creams and I'm sold on it.

Oh well. I can always dream of Los Ice Creams getting LOTF cards.

Thanks for the info, TM... I think I can speak for everyone when I say we really appreciate it I didn't realize Tursas wore the giant horned helmet in the ring... very cool.

The Ants are definitely guys that need to be in color. The drawings are great in LOTF, but with no color they look so similar I constantly have to look on the back to see which Ant card it is. Still hoping Kizarny or Sinn or whatever name he is using now gets into the Chikara set. Another guy made for color.
