Did Kayanan "draw" for this too?


probably the same reason you do, well sorta anyway, see he called me out, and asked me in a sense to defend my position...but really, we gotta keep this on topic here, so lets just end this in the box breakdown, and keep the questions/comments on the product from this point on to the forum appropriate.

Well well well... My decision to buy 2 cases came after reading all the negativity thrown at this set, I did not feel compelled to change my mind and I went ahead and bought 2 cases... and I have just finished opening the first one and it IS THE BEST CASE I HAVE EVER OPENED IN MY ENTIRE LIFE.

I could not have been more happy with my pulls or the results for this case, I am going to start busting open the second in a few moments, but first to share the glory:

Box 1: (Oh, what a box to start with, I nearly had heart failure)



Box 2:

I need help identifying the card on the right, looks very much like Staggs but I know it isn't, is it a Sohn?!

Box 3:


Box 4:

Anyone know the artist on the left???

Box 5:


Box 6:


Box 7:

Need help with left hand card please Smile

Box 8:



I am going to start opening case 2 now, must say if my second case is full of helmet heads I would still be pleased with the overall results!

Well its just gone passed 1am here, I couldnt wait until tomorrow to open the other case so I just did it now! I only opened the packs until I got the sketches so will open the rest tomorrow and post if I get any extra sketches or gold cards or 1/1's.... :P

Here are the 16 sketches in the order pulled:



Overall VERY happy with this case and my 2 cases have yielded more than I could ever expect. Now to save to buy more....

Bought 1 box today.

Got 1 sketch. Yes, just 1. To pour salt in the wounds, it is by far the worst sketch I have ever seen.

You cant even tell what the hell the artist was aiming for.

Sometimes duplication of artist is not a bad thing. Nice cases!! Thumb Up

Well, this may add a bit of fuel to the fire, but this sealed case-break speaks for itself pretty clearly so I won't add my 2 cents, And while I prefer to remain positive, I honestly do welcome the snarky comments of anyone who wants to chime in!
(Here's one to get started: Maybe the Arwen at the bottom is crying because she knows "begun, the Gandalf Clone Wars have!")
