No alternate art cards into the Lorwyn (LWR) set

Seeing that finally there are "Exclusive" cards in the Lorwyn set, I wonder if the absence of alternate art cards for later sale through fblthp is another mistake more or if this is intentional.

    Is it just because it’s an older set and they hadn’t yet invented alternate art?

    Luckily there are no alternate art cards in this release. There are still 71 unreleased cards to be sold via fblthp. Even without new alternate art cards it will take more than half a year to catch up.

    I am very happy to see the gap closing a little.

    There was a time we were able to collect all those cards right before a new sets was released

    Good point, I did not realize about that.

    There are some possible alt-arts. For example, Bitterblossom has two arts from the WOT and another from UMA, Jace Beleren has three (JvC, JvC Japanese and Book promo) and Chandra also has JVC promos, the PreRelease version of Wren’s Run Packmaster, MPR version of Cryptic Command (I have no idea what was just released.), and Garrun and Liliana also had a duel deck
