Congratulations!

I got my pre-order yesterday.
The base cards are really nice. I prefer them without the words on the back for a change.

Not a fan of the binder, just one picture.
It is hard, and has no padding, but none the less, it's still nice to have.

I am just goig to just down some autos now, and I'm done! Big Grin
Thanks to my special dealer Thumb Up

I'm going to post these seperate. My wife and I bought a total of 15 boxes (No we're not buying anymore!) 1 Case & 3 boxes from a seperate vendor.

Here's my case breakdown for X-Men 3:

14 of 16 Casting Call cards (plus dupes)
1 Art & Images set (plus 3 dupes)
4 of 6 Take A Stand cards (no dupes)
Autos:
Cameron Bright/Leech
Omahyra/Arclight
Michael Murphy/Warren Worthington Jr.
Haley Ramm/Young Jean Grey
Bryce Hodgson/Artie
Olivia Williams/Dr. Moira MacTaggart
Aaron Stanford/Pyro Smokin'
Shawn Ashmore/Iceman Surf
Daniel Cudmore/Colossus Twak
Vinnie Jones/Juggernaut Metal
Patrick Stewart/Prof. X Clap
Anna Paquin/Rogue Bouncey

PLUS... 2 Sketches! 1 Cyclops Rosema & 1 Cat Staggs Phoenix!

My wife and I were very happy with our case. Bummed and a bit confused with how we didn't manage to make a casting call set. But hey! There's 3 more boxes coming from brand X right? Right.

So! 3 more boxes show up, and off to sorting we go! Hi ho, hi ho, ...

By the way, I'm not listing the Wolverine cards or the base sets in these breakdowns becuase of how many there are. Enough cards to supply Gambit an arsenel for another mini-series!

6 more casting call cards. Did we get either of the 2 we're missing? Nope. Nada. So we're still missing CC8 & CC11. I'm sure we'll pick them up in San Diego during the Comic-Con.

2 Take A Stand cards. Did we get either of the 2 we're missing? Yep! 1. So we're still missing T3. I'm sure we'll pick them up in San Diego during the Comic-Con.
Sketch cards? No such love. Not really expected though.
Autos:
Haley Ramm/Young Jean Grey Frown
Michael Murphy/Warren Worthington Jr. Mad
and...
Anna Paquin/Rogue Big Grin

All 3 were extras but at least we'll be able to trade the Anna (and hoepfully the others too) for some of the stuff that we're missing! We always trade with Brand X at the SD show and we know he'll kindly take the Paquin auto off our hands.

Also, we got the binder with the promo and auto (Dr. Rao). Both cards are nice, but the rings inside the binder are messed up and don't line up properly. So the pages slip out. Shake Head
