Godzilla War Chronicle (1992)
A second Godzilla series, Godzilla War Chronicle, was released in 1992 in celebration of Godzilla vs. King Ghidorah. This set consisted only of 54 cards and featured less unique monsters, but is notable for its more detailed art style. Like the previous set, each card was redeemable for a sum of yen, though this time the selection was interspersed with Toy Card 500 cards, worth 500 yen. Two "Special Version Sets" of Toy Card 500 cards were also available, consisting of 6 or 10 cards for a value of 3,000 or 5,000 yen, respectively.
