The "Man in Black" (Titus Welliver) is the guy who had the conversation with Jacob at the beginning of last season's finale. He's Jacob's nemesis, if you will.

Cheech Marin 6 case incentive

... Each case will come with an autograph card signed by Kim Dickens as "Cassidy Phillips". For every 3-cases purchased you will receive an exclusive Kate Austen Costume Relic Card ...

YAY!!! Locke! Desmond! Ana-Lucia! Roger (love Jon Gries since The Pretender)!

Hope they'll get Jorge Garcia and Matthew Fox too... and not just for a gazillion case incentive.

I'm so excited about this release. First time ever I've been in a position to be able to buy a case, which I've only ever dreamed of, and it looks like a great set to do that with. Autos look amazing. Will their be costume cards as well- never brought from Rittenhouse before so not sure.
Most card companies will begin taking pre- orders in the next few days (that's what my guy told me anyway).

I'm betting no costume cards, since the 3 case incentive is a costume. They'd probably tell us at this point if there were going to be costumes in addition to 3 autographs.

As for orders, yes I believe most dealers have started taking orders, I know I have.

Ed

yes scifihobby.com has started taken orders now $960 for a case iv just ordered mine i hope some more big names sign so it will be worth the money.

Man I am so excited for this set! I cannot wait to find out who else signed and if RA has any other surprises for us

Just curious what's in a box and how many boxes are in cases??

thanks!

Boxes should have a complete base set plus 3 autograph cards. There will be additional chase, but nothing firm on exactly what yet.

Cases will have 12 boxes and include an exclusive case topper auto card.

$960.00? Any reliable dealer should be able to get you a case for much less than ordering direct from Rittenhouse.

ra is now showing feb 2010 for this release and have taken the list of autografh signers off there site.

I'm glad the base set is said to be 108 cards rather than the usual 63/72. Although with one card representing one episode, seasons 4 and 5 won't go into great detail as seasons 1-3 were in the Inkworks sets, but I guess there isn't much they can do about that.

It doesn't look like there will be costume cards in the packs with that 3 case incentive being a Kate costume card.

I personally think the incentives aren't very impressive for this set, I'm not even sure who Cheech Marin plays in the show? Maybe I'm just stupid Although I know a lot of people hate the best cards being incentives, so I think they wold be reasonably happy with these.

I like the idea of the lenticular cards too, don't get many of those very often.

Interested to see who else signs on for autos for this set.

The cards website where I ordered by case was only $715 per case. Pretty reasonable I think.

"I'm not even sure who Cheech Marin plays in the show?"

Cheech Marin played Hurley's father on several episodes.

I don't care who he plays on the show - I just LOVE Cheech Marin!!! Beyond EVERYTHING else, he was the voice of Tito in Oliver and Company - one of my MOST favorite Disney movies (and Banzai the hyena from Lion King for those who care)

Now if only RA can swing a Tommy Chong auto, the world would be a better place (kidding of course!)

Yeah $960 for a case is kinda steep. Don't they offer any discounts for large orders?
