The Good: Excellent looking set overall. The foil box loaders are fantastic, featuring the 'Women of Andromeda' and the sub sets are also very well done. The set covers both seasons 2 and 3 plus the character profiles and technology profiles. Like most Inkworks products lately, the boxes seem to break like clockwork. The set looks like this:
90 card base set 9 foil card Battle for the Commonwealth puzzle set (1:11 packs) 6 foil card Fraginle Allegiances set (1:17 packs) 3 Women of Andromeda Box Loaders 1 Andromeda Ascendent Die Cut Case Card 6 Autographs (1 Per box):
Kevin Sorbo (Dylan Hunt) Lisa Ryder (Beka) Lexa Doig (Andromeda) Gordon Michael Woolvett (Harper) Steve Bacic (Rhade) Laura Bertram (Trance)
6 Pieceworks cards (1 per box):
Dylan's Jacket Harper's shirt Beka's top - 2 versions Andromeda top Trance's purple outfit
The Bad: Some of the CGI shots are awfully dark on the base set. And the 9 card puzzle plus 6 card set is very standard. Odd that they pieceworks are 6 but I have a PW7... At least one auto is also by redemption... And the frustrating fact that only one of the autos is not a repeat from the first set; A6 Steve Bacic as Rhade.
The Breakdown:
Box 1 2 base sets 3 BC Puzzle Pieces: BC6, BC7, BC8 2 FA Fragile Allegiances cards: FA1, FA6 1 BL-1 Box Loader: Rommie PW5 Dylan's Uniform (basic black) A6 Steve Bacic
Overall a nice set, but one that the collectors might not have been ready for quite yet...

This doesn't bother me so much as it's been a couple of years since the first set came out (which I missed out on since I hadn't seen the show then) and most of the autographs seem to be going for a pretty high price.

Ed, you said
quote:Odd that they pieceworks are 6 but I have a PW7
it's not that odd - remember, the Pieceworks continue the numbering from the first series.
The autos however, don't continue and start over at A1- which makes it confusing because you'll have A1 Sorbo from the first set and A1 Sorbo from the second set - so people will need to be very specific when posting eBay listings...
