We were compelled to add cards due to a change in our production methods.
We switched printers, and the new company arranges the cards on the card
sheets differently. This in turn caused us to move from 136 cards to 140
cards in the set, and I couldn't resist using the extra slots to fill in a
couple of long-standing little gaps.

Wouldn’t it make more sense to include any changed cards in the
expansion pack? I mean, it’s not like they are too useful without the
expansion, right?

I agree, the two cards are non-vital to the game, only a true enthusiast
would really want them. I'm actually more excited about the new box
itself, it will stack nicely with all the other upgraded new boxes for
the other games in the looney labs collection. I really hope they update
EAC into a new box also. The way I see it, I'm going to have one deck
shuffled for ubernauts and the other box for when I am in the mood to
play a light game of chrononauts.
Plus if it were a company like Milton Bradly or Nintendo, I'd see them as
money hungry pigs trying to suck my money out of my pocket. But, this is
our neighborhood friend Andy Looney who makes us fun games! I always
support my mom and pop store.

Regarding the idea of "it's hard to rationalize getting a new set":
Of course it isn't!
- I'm ordering a new set for myself, meaning I get all the cool new
stuff.
- The old set is a gift to a friend, who gets a copy of the game of
their own (slight wear, eh...).
- And Looney Labs gets a cash reward for putting out new Chrononauts
stuff - filling the double duty of rewarding a company I like, and
sending a message to focus on Chrononauts more. We have enough Fluxx
varieties already!
