All boxes with Props/Film Cells were on the left side of the case. All Auto/Costume boxes were on the right. Each box contained five Foil Cards. One box I collated had exactly two base sets with no extras. Artbox is like the kid who got caught being bad. They're now on their best behavior.
My one complaint is that some cards are just too big. I like to store my cards in their respective albums. When I saw the "Fluffy" card I started looking around for a glass to sit on it. It's like a coaster. When I held it out to a friend of mine he said, "Wow! Is that a whole stack of cards?" No, just one, and it's too big. It's almost like Artbox is saying, "See what we can do..." My one bit of advice for them would be to stop making cards this big. How are we supposed to store them? Take a look at Inkworks' Pieceworks cards. They've got the right idea. No more coasters please.
Overall, a good comeback after the POAU fiasco.This message has been edited. Last edited by: morenomark,

Hey Rich! Which one of the Warwicks did you get, the Goblin Bank Teller or Professor Flitwick?
Your part of a teddy bear from Neville's PJs is definitely a great fun-raiser!

Jeff, Chris,
Hi. Here is a scan of 3 of the cards that I pulled:
The wand box card is very thick, there was only one other card in the pack with it.

Yes it has hit the UK in very small quantities, I think they are still awaiting some of their shipment (or haven't sent it out yet), either way there are boxes on ebay, and the cards of course.

Ugh - 12 cases and no master set (not incl. incentives)
Then again, I don't think I would ever have the patience to sit down and open 12 cases of anything -
well...maybe marvel creator's collection

Gimli...12 cases?????
Either you hit the lottery or I am missing something...I cannot see anyone getting close to making their money back on 12 cases of cards from what was available as pulls and what you did pull...../shrug
