    I'm soon to acquire a complete set of the Scholastic Star Wars Missions gamebooks released only to the US school market from 1997-1999. I subscribed to the first six releases during the original run, so I have the associated cards and maps for those, but will have only the books for the rest. Does anyone here have the cards and maps for #7-20, and would you be willing to provide scans/pictures? I'm also looking for the cards and posters for the subsequent Star Wars Episode I Adventures and Star Wars Adventures series.

    At first I didn't know what these were, but after checking out the covers I know I used to have some of these! I don't know where they are now sadly. :(

    Any luck? I also have cards for books #1-6 and would love to get more? I will let you know if I find anything.

    I recently acquired on eBay a full set of all twenty Missions including all books, maps, cards, and magazines! I also acquired a nearly complete (#1-14 of 15) set of Episode I Adventures with all materials. Unfortunately, I missed a complete set of Episode I Adventures and Adventures because the seller limited bidders with few feedback scores to bidding on no more than two items, which was infuriating, because it could be a year or more before I see a complete set of either again. [face_plain] I'll be happy to send anyone card scans after the sets arrive. :)

    Tythan,

    I think you are the one who I fought against for the Missions on ebay! Was the seller unclejake13? I won the Episode 1 Adventures and Adventures set from the same person. The adventures set he only had 1-6, because 7-12 are repeats of episode 1 adventures (but he said there were 13, so now I'm not sure are many of them there were). Anyways, for Missions I just need books, cards, and maps for 18-20 and magazines 17-20. I'm willing to scan all of the cards I own (front and back). There is a website I have come across. He has a whole bunch of the cards from all 3 kits on there, but he did not provide the back of the cards. Plus, he is missing a whole bunch of cards from Adventures, and one from Episode 1 Adventures. I just emailed him about it. I had gone and searched for his website today to do an inventory of my cards and I just saw this in the search engine. I am so glad I clicked on it! Here's his website: http://starwarsimages.home.comcast.net/~starwarsimages/missions.htm
    I'm going to go inventory my Missions cards right now.

    Desiree

    Ha! Yes, that was me! I won both the Missions set and the associated Star Wars Kids magazine set. Since we've found each other here, we can trade digital copies! The Episode I Adventures set of #1-14 I recently won (from a British woman who's downsizing her Star Wars collection) includes the magazines and even the posters, and the card packs are still sealed (I'ven't yet opened them); finding that last poster in particular will probably take a long time. I found the site you also found, as well as this German one, which helpfully lists which cards go with each set. There are thirteen Adventures sets, the first six books of which are original, and the last seven being Episode I Adventures reprints. I assume that since the last seven books are reprints, the associated card packs are, too, but I can't confirm as the German site doesn't have information on the Adventures cards. I know the magazines are all unique, though. There are 108 Missions cards; how many Episode I Adventures and Adventures cards do you have? I haven't used my scanner in a long time, but I'll try to get it working and start scanning soon (front and back).

    I actually used to own the star wars adventure episode 2 version, you know the clone helmet shaped one. Found it at a thrift store and donated to that same thrift store strangely enough, as I never played with it much.

    I counted 102 cards for Episode 1 Adventures. For Adventures 1-6, I counted 53 cards. Tythan, I sent you a message, in case you didn't see it.

    I know this is an old thread but I'm trying to get sets of these too and there's not a lot to go off of online.
    Can anyone post some new links to good sources of information please. These old links don't seem to work for me.
    I have partial sets but still looking for a few more cards & books.
    I also have 12 of the posters from Episode I Adventures and a few of the Magazines.

    Thanks!
    Justin :)

    Regarding Star Wars Missions, I have all of the main storybooks besides #20 - Total Destruction, because on Amazon and eBay it goes for like...a gajillion dollars. If anybody has scans of that one, I'd trade my left hydrospanner for it.

    Yeah, that's a tough one.
    Hit me up if anyone wants to sell any of the carry cases, cards, maps ect' - particularly looking for the clone trooper case from the 3rd Adventures series.

    I have acquired the full collection of Star Wars Missions: Books, maps, and playing cards.
    I also have a large collection of the cards from the Episode 1 and 3rd Adventures Series but it is not complete.
    I think my next "mission" is to scan them for digital backup.
    If you are looking for particular cards or maps, let me know as I have a pile of duplicates left over after collecting the set. I want these games preserved and enjoyed so if I can help complete someone's collection, that would bring me great joy.

    I have the full set of Missions with all Maps, cards & magazines ('Bonus Missions') & peripherals now. Pretty sure my Episode I set is fully complete now as well.
    My Adventures (Episode II) set, I have all the novels & gamebooks, magazines & I've recently acquired almost all the cards now, just missing one 'packet' of cards to be fully complete with all three sets!
    I took pictures of the Episode II cards/sets as I opened them from their packets - so I also know which cards came with which books if anyone is interested.
    I've also been planning to scan some stuff for prosperity but it's a lot of work & really should be published on wookiepedia which I'm no good at using.

    I'm not convinced these were only in the US. I feel like I have a few of them.. or did. Might have gotten rid of them now.

    No, they were at least available in Australia as well. Probably a few other places like UK & Canada perhaps too.
