For everyones information, you receive a free colourless "Time Circuits" card for Ultimate Odyssey with Conquest. It's inside the box.
Thought I'd kick off proceedings here with a list of the card references I know off the top of my head. Here we go.

Carrots
21- Queen Liz II
22- Adam West as Batman
23- That girl robot from Wall-E
24- D'Argo from Farscape. He is holding a chocolate eclair. You will notice he is the fourth Conquest Carrot, much like Flo is the fourth Quest Carrot. We will be using his Eclair in the same way Flo uses her Danish.
25- Melanie Chartoff from Parker Lewis Can't Lose. The flamingo on this card (and on bingo flamingo in Quest) is also a reference to the show; the high school students were called the Santa Domingo Flamingos.
26- Bumblebee from the Transformers movies.
27- Amelia Earhart
28- I think this is Bjorn from Abba, but not sure.
29- Named after Susanna Thompson who played the Borg Queen in Star Trek

Grapes of Wrath - This is based on the popular book "The Grapes of Wrath." In the book the characters aren't grapes, but the characters on the card seem to be modelled after the actors from the 1940's movie.
