Lord of the Rings: Return of the King (Topps)
Finally got my 2 boxes today. My supplier was cut down on his original order, so I got 1 1st wave box and 1 2nd wave (which i actually didn`t want)

This is what I got:

Box 1 (1st wave)
2 complete sets
6 different foils
#1 (of 2) foil boxtopper
1 Pippin auto

Box 2 (2nd wave box)
haven`t sorted base cards yet
6 different foils
#2 (of 2) foil boxtopper
1 Witch King auto

I`m onlt missing # 10 for a complete foil set, so gues it ain`t that bad.

However, I at the moment I don`t care that much about the Witch King auto (though it looks cooler than the other 2 wave 2 autos). And as I really want a Liv Tyler auto (from any of the LotR sets): IS there anyone who wants to trade their Liv Tyler/Arwen auto for the Witch King auto? You can email me on rsdebi-at-chello.nl

Seem to have been v lucky with this series so far. Of the two boxes I have opened I have pulled an Aragorn and a Saruman auto of the previous series I pulled a Gollum. All of these were via Cards inc, either direct or from a dealer (Pete at Hibbert Cards) guess I was just lucky! Dance

Just opened my first box, got 2 sets, 6 foil cards and a Gollum autograph card, pretty pleased with what I got overall.

I finally got to buy my first case of ROTK cards and for only $400 too! I wasn't able to get a case earlier cause I was short on cash: I spent every spare cent I had to go to the Los Angeles premiere of Return of the King and meet the actors...so I guess I'm not complaining! Anyways here is my first case breakdown. I do not have it broken down by box, I wasn' really keeping that close of an eye on it all. I hope to get at least another case soon.

AUTOGRAPHS

Saruman (Christopher Lee) Dance
Aragorn x 2 (Viggo Mortensen) Luv You
Gollum (Andy Serkis) Thumb Up
Bilbo (Ian Holms)
Theoden in black (Bernard Hill)
FIGWIT X 2 (Bret McKenzie) Mad

PRISMATICS
3 complete sets
2 incomplete sets missing 1, 2(2), 3(2), 10

BASE SETS
19 complete base sets
3 near completed

BOX TOPPERS
4 complete sets

Very pleased overall. Happy to have gotten 2 of Aragorn...my favorite!! Dumb FIGWITS! But my Saruman made up for those. Now off to do some trading!

Welcome aboard! To get any auto out of a topps retail product is great! That it was Arwen even better!
Hope your luck keeps going!

Hiya,

bought 2 LOTR ROTK wave 2 boxes on saturday for £85. thought the prices was ok if i got 2 autos in 1 box!!! Razz

anyway, here's the breakdown.

Box 1:
2 complete basic sets
6 prismatics
#1 (of 2) foil boxtopper
Witch King auto

Box 2 (great box!!!) Dance:
2 complete basic sets
7 prismatics
#1 (of 2) foil boxtopper
Witch King Auto
Gorbag Auto

All in all, i think a nice return for my money. A pity that i can't get a complete prismatic set or the boxtopper set.

I didn't see this breakdown topic. Found another one, though, and posted mine in there.
I wondered why only the one post in the other - there had to be another somewhere.
I'll copy mine into here.

I got a box, just because. Not that I need anything from this series.

Two Base Sets
Prismatic Foils: 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8
Bonus Foil #1
Auto: Figwit (Bret McKenzie)


I'll be trading everything I got from it, as I already have all the cards I wanted Smile

Just because, sounds as good a reason as any. Bit like climbing a mountain really !
