I only got a box, but plan on buying a few more packs later - this is really a nice set!
From Box 5644 of 6000: 1 Base set of 66 cards, plus 39 extras
The inserts are based on previous insert subsets from other sets. 2 Expansion cards F65 and BE0022 2 Dangerous Liasions - DL 10, DL16 1 Quoteable Bond - Q14 2 Complete Bond (9card movie poster puzzle) 197,198
2 Costumes 1 Single, Camille's Dress (774/850) 1 Double, James Bond Shirt and Jacket (263/750) The shirt has a bit of Mathis's blood in the left side, this is the shirt Bond wears when he cradles the dying Mathis in his arms
2 Autographs Neil Jackson as Mr. Slate (Limited, 40th Anniv style) Margaret Nolan as Dink (Very Limited)
I like the base set, the images are nice big portraits of major characters. No text on back other that the person's role and film they appeared in. The inserts are cool, I like the Complete Bond poster set best, all the inserts are for Quantum of Solace. I was happy to get the Bond costume with blood stain on it, and while I had hoped for some of the bigger names in autographs, the Nolan auto is very limited, so I was glad to pull that.
Another great Bond set from Rittenhouse!

I know right? Honor Blackman was the first bonus card I pulled, it gave me that warm fuzzy feeling. I forgot to add the case loader to my list (duh!) #595/700. The thickest card I think I've ever seen!!!
Got a couple of boxes which arrived in sunny London today. First impressions of the base set are lovely. A nice simple design for both front and back; very clean. The card stock feels the same as Star Trek TOS 40th.
Box 1367/6000 Autos: Paul Ritter as Guy Haines in QoS, Tom Chadbon as Stockbroker in CR Relics: QC23 Bond's Jacket single patch 232/625, QC03 Bond's Jacket and Tie dual patch 323/350 Dangerous Liaisons: DL11, DL15 Villains: F66, F67 Complete: 191, 194 Quotable: Q9, Q11
Box 3300/6000 Autos: Glenn Foster as Mitchell in QoS, Christina Cole as Club Receptionist in CR Relics: QC17 Bond's Jacket and Pants dual patch 102/775, QC24 Bond's Shirt single patch 208/475 Dangerous Liaisons: DL12, DL17 Villains: F64 Complete: 197, 198 Quotable: Q10, Q12 Extras: 0069
I've had some good luck with Bond boxes recently, so I was maybe due a couple of meh boxes. Nothing too exciting in these two unfortunately, which is a shame as the base set is great.

If there are 700 case toppers then wouldn't that mean there are approx. 700 cases? If so then there would be 8,400 boxes as opposed to the advertised 6,000. Is my math wrong, or is somthing else amiss here?

There will always be more case topper cards made than there are cases.
Extras are kept back for damage replacement.
A fair number may go in to the Archive Boxes too, it depends on the set.
I would bet EON gets a few of each card for their archives.
Plus, I imagine they make as many as the prop will allow. You couldn't make just enough, too many chances that you would come up short in the manufacturing or that a significant number of card could also be damaged in manufacturing.
AUTOS: Neil Jackson Joe Don Baker John Cleese Tom Chadbon Izabella Scorupco Honor Blackman John Terry Tobias Menzies Christina Cole (x2) Rory Kinnear Paul Brooke (x2, both styles)
I just picked up a fifth caes before this stuff drys up kinda funny only 500 cases and i will open 5 of them that means I opened 1 percent of the total print run
