I got one of these boxes - my wife gave it to me for Xmas. I got 6 autograph cards and 1 costume card out of my box which had packs from Outer Limits (Sex, Cyborgs, and Science Fiction),The Complete Lost In Space, Conan, Quotable Star Trek TNG, James Bond Die Another Day, Twilight Zone (2 different series), Complete Babylon 5, Stargate Atlantis, Six Feet Under, Farscape Through the Wormhole, Complete Battlestar Galactica, and Farscape Season 2.

Autograph/Costume/Sketch card wise, I got:

Farscape DA3 Hey/Goddard
Outer Limits A9 Burt Young
Twilight Zone A-51 Wright King
Stargate Atlantis Laura Mennell as Sanir
Six Feet Under Aysia Polk
Lost In Space Mark Goddard
The Quotable Star Trek TNG: Lieutenance Worf C7 Costume card.

Plus a bunch of subset cards....

A great idea. I hope they do it again next year.

Mike.

The remaining boxes were limited to one per customer and retail collectors only. The decision to offer this item was made on Saturday 17th and an email with detail was sent out on Monday.


Thanks for posting, Robert!

I was one of the people able to order 2 boxes - they were QUITE fun to open and I was grateful to Rittenhouse for the opportunity to open packs from series I hadn't originally bought along with series I already enjoyed.

I'm sorry some folks are unhappy, but this offer certainly made my Christmas a bit merrier! Thanks again for the promotion!

And with only 60 boxes it was obvious that not everyone could get one, it was the luck of the draw. Plus for those who didn't get a newsletter that's life - Everybody can't have everything

Conan - 5 packs

I REALLY like the base set to this, and since i never started to collect this, i think i will be tracking down the remaining base cards i need, and possibly the first to Chase sets!!

Stargate Atlantis - 5 Packs
Quotable Stargate Q4
Bit dissapointed in this as i collect Stargate it would have been really nice to have got something outta this lot - cards are still mega cool though

Stargate SG-1 Season 7 - 5 Packs
Behind The Scenes B13
Again nothing more, being a Stargate collector, it would have been cool to get something here too Smile

nice cards, but not a collector of Farscape unfortunately Frown

Battlestar Galactica: Premiere - 1 Pack

Star Trek TOS: Art & Images - 1 Pack
Sketch Card - The Man Trap (sean Pence) Metal

Overall i'm very glad i made this purchase (i did think twice before pressing the buy button). Its great for me i suppose as i don't ever usually buy boxes, so its great to get a taster for these sets!! I'm i think i deifnaetly go ahead and finish Conan, purely cos its a lovely art set (even though i don't have any love for Conan) Smokin'

Only downside was pulling two if the same auto from 11 packs of Outer Limits (what are the chances of that hey?) Shake Head

Thanx Rittenhouse for this great Opportunity!! Keep up the good work for 2006!!! Clap

Fair enough- but those who didn't get the e-mail didn't even have a chance (however small) of getting one of these boxes... and it seems that an email didn't reach everyody... *shrugs* so i'm not sure what happened!
