Well, we just tore through 3 cases here at my house, and here's the condensed result. Sorry, no box by box breakdown, but I did keep the autos separated by case:

Case 1 Autos:
Arwen x 1
Bilbo x 1
Denethor x 2
Faramir x 1
Figwit x 1
Sam x 1
Theoden x 1

Case 2 Autos:
Aragorn x 1
Bilbo x 2
Denethor x 1
Faramir x 1
Figwit x 2
Pippin x 1
Sam x 1
(One box had both Figwit & Bilbo)

Case 3 Autos:
Aragorn x 1
Bilbo x 1
Faramir x 1
Gollum x 1
Pippin x 1
Saruman x 2
Theoden x 1

Prismatic Foil Cards (All 3 cases together!):
8 complete sets
1/10 x 6
2/10 x 5
3/10 x 12
4/10 x 12
5/10 x 7
6/10 x 9
7/10 x 4
8/10 x 4
Anyone missing 3s & 4s with extra 9s and 10s?

Box Toppers (all 3 cases!):
12 sets of 2 cards each

Interesting breakdown on the foil cards and 2 auto cards that never showed up at all (Eomer & Taylor). Here's the combined auto list for all 3 cases:

2 Aragorn
1 Arwen
4 Bilbo
3 Denethor
3 Faramir
3 Figwit
1 Gollum
2 Pippin
2 Sam
2 Saruman
2 Theoden
0 Eomer
0 Richard Taylor

OK, my eyes are sore, but here are my breakdowns:

First, ALL my autos came from Frodo packs, even when there were two autos per box. The autos were evenly spread between both stacks and at various levels within the stack. I the box I had with two autos, one was in each stack.
ALL my foils were in Aragorns, and I had three foils from each stack without variation.
I had one boxtopper in all boxes.

Now, onto the cases/boxes.

First, I opened 6 boxes from one case:
Autos:
Gollum
Arwen x 2
Sam
Eomer
Figwit
Boxtopper 1 x 5
Boxtopper 2 x 1
2 full foil sets plus extras.
Also, I know that the other two boxes from this case both had Richard Taylor autos in them.

First Full Case:
Autos:
Eomer
Richard Taylor
Sam
Arwen
Figwit
Aragorn
Bilbo
Pippin
One box had 2 autos (Figwit and Aragorn) and one had no autos.
Boxtoppers 4 of each
3 full foil sets plus extras

Second Full case
Autos:
Denethor
Theoden
Figwit
R. Taylor
Bilbo
Eomer
Arwen
Saruman (from my last box!)
Boxtoppers 4 of each
3 full foil sets plus extras

Total autos
Saruman
Theoden
Denethor
Aragorn
Pippin
Gollum
Bilbo x 2
R. Taylor x 2
Sam x 2
Eomer x 3
Figwit x 3
Arwen x 3
Faramir x 0

I've got two more boxes arriving next week, and will post those results then.

It might explain why some people got no Foils in their boxes,

Are we talking lots of extra autos, or lots of extra foils???

I'm still dreaming of opening a pack it only has autos in it!

Oh, that would be the best dream of all!! Forget dreaming about acing all my exams, a dream where a box of RotK cards had all autos, wow, that'd be something special.

Can't wait to see my 2 boxes. Just hope that there's no funny stuff with it, and it has a good amount of foils (6 on average per box I take it), and any one auto in each box. That'd be nice.

this is the first time that i bought sealed boxes for the lord of the rings sries by topps and i must say that i was not disappointed ! Here is the breakdown :
From the 2 boxes i was able to get 4 base sets and 1 set missing 12 cards, 1 complete set of prismatic foils and 2 extras. As for the autograph cards, i was really anxious because i'm not used to buy boxes like that. I had high hopes and when i opened the first box, i was really disappointed to get a Richard Taylor auto. Don't get me wrong, it was cool but i wanted to get autographs from on-screen characters. Anyway, on to the second and last box. I cracked all the packs and no auto after opening 35 packs !!!! The last pack was my only chance to get one and guess what i had....a Christopher Lee/Saruman auto card !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Dance Dance Dance Dance
I'll be posting my needs/haves soon in the trading section.

Just finished breaking my case:

4 sets of box toppers
4 sets of prismatics with 8 spare.

Autos:

Figwit
Aragorn (x2)
Gollum
Saruman
Eomer
Theoden
Pippin

(If anyone's got a spare Arwen or Bilbo to swap for the Aragorn, let me know)

Pretty pleased with this. I haven't collated the base sets yet, 'cause I'm going to wait until after I see the film!

Finished opening my two cases,now have severe headache from sorting the basic sets Smile.

The two cases yielded 36 basic sets,7 box topper sets and 2 extra 1 0f 2's,7 foil sets and 25 extra cards,and the following auto's

Case 1 Arwen x 2 Drool Drool
Aragorn Smile
Figwit
Sam
Bilbo
Pippin
Theoden (Blue Ink).

Case 2 Saruman x 2 Dance
Richard Taylor x 2
Gollum Smile
Arwen (can't get enough of Liv Big Grin)
Sam
Bilbo
Pippin
Eomer
Faramir

Three of the eight boxes in the second case had 2 auto's Elephant Sheep.

Both sarumans had a second auto (Arwen & Sam) and the third dual auto box was Bilbo/Eomer.

Very happy with the Breakdown,I am not usually this lucky.Hope I have not used it all up for when I get my Alias case Smile.

I was in two minds whether to get the ROTK set or not, but ended up getting two boxes from Ebay.

Box 1
Box Topper 2/2
Foils - 1,2,3,4,5,6
Auto - Aragorn Big Grin Big Grin - very pleased

Box 2
Box Topper 1/2 Big Grin usually I end up with the same box toppers
Foils - 1,2,7,8,9,10 Big Grin complete set of foils between the two boxes
Auto - Eomer Smile I'm pleased it was a different auto to the one in box 1 and different to the ones I've had from FOTR and TTT, but his auto has definitely got worse.
