Without going too much into artists "styles", I will base my opinions of the sketches more on the artists' use of the extra space afforded by the format, and just about all of yours are excellent in that regard. Congrats on them.

Was this also the set with the Voice Actor autographs? Did you get any of those?

I'll be back with the results of own case as soon as I can.

Yup, between my 2 cases (and a swap with my buddy), I have:

Nika Futterman as Asajj Ventress
Ian Abercrombie as Chancellor Palpatine x2
Matt Lanter as Anakin Skywalker
Catherine Taber as Padme' Amidala
Matthew Wood as General Grevious

I am only missing James Arnold Taylor as Obi-Wan Kenobi and Tom Kane as Yoda...until the retail product comes out with the 2 retail exclusive autos.

I think did well with my first case, 4 autos and 8 sketches, not a bad one in the bunch, and I pulled three animator sketches. The inserts are well done, the only strange thing was that I did not pull one clear card # 4, but I have plenty of extras of other numbers. This is a quality set, kudos to Topps for a job well done!




There is also a card with each pack promoting a collectors kit with a binder, sheets, and an exclusive promo for only $16.95. The link is not up yet, but I'm happy they are offering a binder for the set! Smile

Wow! Congrats on the great case! I am hoping to pull at least one animator.

Went to the LCS and picked up a box from a fresh case. Got this absolutely gorgeous sketch by Russ Walks...a definite PC item. Sorry about the toploader...just wanted to protect it.

Another case full of sketches that really take advantage of the extra room on the cards. Way to go Batman and congrats on the pulls. And thanks for the info on the binder offer. I'll definitely be in for one of those, the exclusive promo sealed that deal.
Can't wait for my case!

Beautiful! I hope to get one half that nice. I sure am glad Walks continues to grace these sets with his stunning work. Whether it be the normal sized cards, the Die-cuts in SW Galaxy 4, and now these widevision cards, he's a standout in every single set he's done.

Great sketches, just a shame about the C3PO head, waste of a widescreen sketch blank in my opinion. He could have done that on the back of a postage stamp!!! The other sketches are great Thumb Up

I busted two cases of this product and I am quite pleased with it. A great looking base set, a nice mix of low level inserts, and some excellent high end inserts.

Obi-Wan by Brian Ashmore, Ackbar by Darla Ecklund, Count Dooku by Zack Giallongo, and Stormtrooper by Animator Jackson Sze

Count Dooku by Daniel Kelly, Bounty Hunter by Bruce Gerlach, Action Scene 2 of 2 by Michael "Locoduck" Duron, Ahsoka by Jamie Snell, Bounty Hunter by Hayden Davis, Aayla Secura by Ted Dastick Jr.

Count Dooku by Rich Woodall, Boba Fett by John P. Wales, General Grevious by Uko Smith, Newt and Ahsoka by Karen K., Padame by Denise Vasquez, Ahsoka by JF

Nice break, Arvin.

A few corrections though: the Gerlach and Davis cards are of Cad Bane, the Dastick is Senator Riyo Chuchi (VERY nicely done, Ted!) and the Wales is a Clone Trooper, not Jango Fett (Boba was way too young at this point). My guess on the JF would be Josh Fargher.

Thank you! I'm surprised that quite a few of my color cards have already surfaced, I think I did less than 30.

Second case results, not bad, but not as good as the first...

I busted an 8 box case. I had 3 bum boxes with no sketches. Also on my clear cel cards I didnt get any #4's or #9's at all. I got multiples of all the other #'s. I e-mailed Topps over the weekend. They sent me an e-mail stating they would get back to me within 2 business days, it's been 3 and still no reply. Anyone else having luck like mine?
