what is the difference between the 2013 core set and the 2014 set? My son is just getting started.

The difference is that the cards can be played at standard deck tournaments and simply better cards

A core set is basically a set of cards with a lot of the mechanics from earlier sets of Magic. Some are reprints and some are unique. A core set is released every year. The cards will indeed be (mostly) different from prior sets since the majority are unique cards. Wizards has actually stated that the Core sets are made to get newer players into Magic while still keeping veteran players in the game.

just different series. just think of it as starbucks holiday drinks. It comes once a year, and sometimes you get something different as a holiday drink. They are just cards from a different series. ummm i guess it would be easier with cars... ummm... theres a new toyota sienna every year but it comes with new features, but generally the same.

Yes every year new cards come out in each core set. On the other hand, some cards are reprinted. You could go look up the card list for Magic 2013 and 2014. I am not sure If I can post links, just do a internet search for Magic 2013 and 2014 card list. Hope my answer helps.Oh and one more thing the cheapest way to get your son started is to just go buy a pre-made deck or set of cards (200 or 300) and let him play with those.

nothing if you are a beginner, but 2014 is in the current block. if he wants to do standard tournament he needs all his cards to be in the current block.

Because the game is quite old, certain formats only allow certain sets to be played. 2014 is current, so it can be used in "standard" play. 2013 cannot. 2014 is the better purchase

As of yet there is no 2013 model. These are just late 2012 models. Easy way to find out if this kit will work for you is to look at Disk Utility and look up the Connection ID. I posted a pick. This is an upper bay kit so that bay needs to be free. Don't just assume.

Ithink the only other differences are cosmetic. There is a tray/storage in the -2 model below the console that doesn't look like it's there in the earlier model. Honestly though, I think the main value in the extra cost is the improved console. Based on earlier reviews that liked the unit but criticized the console as small and unresponsive, I thought the extra $100 for the newer version would be worth it. The new console is large, nice & informative, and works great.

If you're referring to the higher price of the 2014 edition vs the 2013 edition, the difference lies in the cost of the new components. The Extruder and Bed are made of aluminum now, instead of Plywood. The material is more expensive, but better quality, thus the price increase.

The 2013 model was the alphatig 200 and was the first of it's kind featuring a added main amps knob on it's foot pedal, older software in the machine itself and the knobs on the machine read in notches and not percentage. Also switching between 2t and 4t would show you starting amps and ending amps. On the 2014 alphatig 200 the bugs have all been worked out through software update, no knob on the pedal, the percentages on all the dial indicator knobs and the clear cover on the switch panel is stronger and better designed. Hope this helps. Mines still running strong.

The sek1000 is the 2013 os while the sek2000 is the 2014 os with a quicker processor

No these were built in sep/October 2012. Same computer with a processor that is 0.1 GHz slower but you will not notice this. The early 2013 version cost $1699, while the late 2012 cost $1520. For me the difference was not worth $180

Hi, the differences are in graphics, players, the online game mode, celebrations, etc. The controls never change between versions. If you have the 2013 game the control settings doesn't change.

I don't think so. It looks like the 2014 colors are different, but no mention of structural changes. I bought this one in November 2013 and have been very happy with it.

Contact the seller because I guess they change them when they are out of the 2013 or need the 2014. You may be able to request the 2013 if you need them. I will be contacting them when I'm ready to do ours again.

2013 is geared and 2014 is a single speed. Get the 2013! You will have a difficult time getting replacement wheels with either if they get run over or bent! Diamondback does a poor job in supporting this bike!

No it's the 2013. Mine was but I purchased it in January so maybe they've updated it to the 2014 by now.

As stated, "F" is a 2013 model. It also has a higher Clear Motion Rating (960 vs 840) & a Quad Core Processor vs a Dual Core.The "F" model is worth the price, but I think that the "ES" model is still pretty impressive.

There was a basic set and a higher level set if I remember correctly. Been a while. Best you read the specs carefully.

It came out in 2013. I don't think there is a difference with 2013 and 2014 model.

Hi there. Yes, the part number is the same for the 2014 as for the 2013 set. Thanks for asking!
