Well, now we know where they're hiding out...

Seriously though, my area stores only seem to stock the gaming cards.

Looking good. At least a box or two for me.

Well you should have told me you had a set as I have been looking for one

Sorry Hammer, but they have all gone off. I am now needing 2 cards (4 and 10) to complete another.

Just Announced On 5-5-08-HOT BOX UPDATE!!!!!!
Topps is announcing that there will be 1 hot box per 8 box case...every box will have 1 hit but the hot box will consist of 2 and that 2nd hit is going to be a costume.

I still do not like the card design and the extra costume card .. hmmm ... could be leftover parkmans

Don't you remember, it was JASON Kyson Lee that signed for the first set!

-Bob-

So you get 3 sketches, 3 auto's and 3 Costume cards in a case???

8 boxes per case so 8 hits, not 9. You will get a combination of 3/3/2 premium inserts if the coalition is perfect

You'll get a ninth because of the hot box. I wonder if it will actually work out to 3/3/3 since they claim all ratios to be equal. That definatly makes this set more appealing than the first...well other than the design

Yes I included the hot box. So 9 inserts. I hope it's 3/3/3. I'm having doubts if I'm gonna order a case or not. I'm only gonna collect the auto cards from the new signers. So if I get 3 auto's & I can sell/trade the other inserts, there's a good change I'll order a case.

It's topps so I wouldn't count on a hit per box and the inserts spread even. I see cases with 2 or 3 hot boxes and cases without any..

At least with this release they have stated 1 per box, so if you don't get one they should send you a replacement. Unlike the last 2 Indy releases where it was not gauranteed 1 hit per box, but only implied by ratios.

This is more attractive to me as they are actually guaranteeing a hit per box.The poor breaks of the last three Topps releases has also pushed prices down on the auction sites and I just pre-ordered a case for $275 which is $25 less than I paid for Season One .

That's a FANTASTIC price

It,s really down to Cards Inc selling off the cards part of the buisness.I used to buy from them but the new owners don't seem to be particularly well versed in trading cards so I decided to have a look around the auction sites.

Bear in mind that this price does not include the shipping from the USA($50) nor the likely customs charges.Having said that even factoring those in still makes it a lot cheaper than UK prices for Season One.

I also pre-ordered a case for $275. I think we "won" a case from the same seller. And yes the shipping is $50,00 , but that's not much compared to other sellers.

Topps made some further announcements today:

Hot Boxes
These now include an additional sketch, autograph, or memorabilia card instead of just a memorabilia cards as previously announced.

Milo Ventimiglia as "Peter Petrelli"

Adrian Pasdar as "Natan Petrelli"
