Third Wave[]
Third Wave German Back Card
It has been concluded that Wave three for the most part didn't happen, due to events happening in Germany at the time. A few items did get made, but most of them didn't, including "Super Fright Feature Heroes", "Monsters", and "Screaming Heroes".
Fearsome Flush did get a release, but on the back of the card it is noted next to many items "Nicht in der BRD Erhaltlich" which means "Not in Germany Obtainable". So many toys that usually saw a release in other european countries didn't get a release Germany.
Note, some were translated in the following year on the back of that years card, this is likely cause they were following the template provided by the UK brand.
