Looking at the actors on the 2007 Inkworks Aliens vs. Predator: Requiem Pieceworks checklist and you probably won’t recognize many of them. They might trigger a memory of “that dude in that movie” but not much else. And that’s okay. These aren’t groundbreaking cards. But they do have some interesting costumes to draw from.

Pieceworks cards are one of three premium inserts in Aliens vs. Predator: Requiem trading card boxes. Landing 1:24 packs, there are 11 different cards in the set. There are three different variants that expand the checklist for completists in the need of everything for the set.

PW.3, which uses a police jacket worn by John Ortiz, has three different versions. The most common, basic one is live in packs. There are also fur and patch variants that were too big for packs and were included as redemptions. That was fine at the time, but now they’ve expired and Inkworks is gone.

The final variant is of PW.6, a top from Kristen Hager. A rare thick version comes with some of the shirt’s textured fabric.

Two additional cards, PW.12A and PW.12B aren’t found in packs. Rather, they were created as incentives to get dealers to order multiple cases.

Given the lack of lasting popularity for AvP: Requiem and the missing star power, these cards don’t cost much on the open market. They’re not the most common, but few people are looking for them so they don’t get very high. Even the variants and incentives are quite cheap today and it doesn’t look like there’s much that’s going to change it.
