I'm glad I decided to stick with getting a base set only. I was nearly going to invest in getting a few boxes, but I didn't think the odds were that great.
Good luck to all who have purchased the product.

Nice pulls! Glad to see some people getting the sketches! They're awesome
Looks like it's hit and miss and I'll see what I'll get with my two cases (from separate dealers).

I ordered a case for the first time with this set. It will probably be the last case I buy.
I got 6 autographs: Christine Hewitt (Yeah! That was one I wanted) Joe Mollo Joe Viskocil Maria deAragon Garrick Hagon x2
Since I already had the Maria and Garrick autos from EvII, those were alright, but I'd rather have gotten some I didn't have before. The behind the scenes people are, well, ehhhh. I'd rather have sketchs TBH.
1 Sketch: Princess Leia by Brandon McKinney
1 box with no sketch or auto
Of the 8 box toppers, I only got 5 unique ones. One card #3, I received three times, along with one other card duplicated.
I did get a gold parallel card (#80, 21/30).
The odds for the blue/red parallels and puzzles were pretty much on the mark, although one box had no blue parallels in it. The puzzles don't do much for me.
The base set is the best set they've done in a long time, and there are some really great cards in it. I love the deleted scenes cards. Distribution was poor however. I couldn't get a complete set until I opened my fourth box. On average, a case should yield about 10 sets of the base cards, and I'd say I'm lucky if I got 5 complete sets.
I have two more boxes coming from a local shop, so I'm hoping for a little better luck with them.

Congratulations everyone, and thanks for sharing.

Here are the results from my first two cases: AUTOGRAPHS Joe Viskocil Norman Reynolds Jon Berg John Mollo Paul Blake--Greedo Maria DeAragon---Greedo Garrick Hagon---Biggs Kenny Baker---R2-D2 A nice mix and no duplicates so I'm happy about that.
SKETCHES Dave Dorman---Chewbacca Chris Dalla Vechia---Cantina Girl Katie Cook--- Tuskin Raiders Katie Cook---Tuskin Raiders David Fabbri---Jawwa Juan Carlos Ramos---Darth Vader Jessica Hickman---Jawwa Jessica Hickman---Jawwa John Watkins Chow---Luke
I didn't pull any Golds and I came up short one Red, but since I came away with an extra sketch I really can't complain. Since the wife and I busted these in a hurry we may have missed something, so we'll check things closer once we start sorting for sets.
Here are the photos of my sketches. I'll let you be the judge of the quality.

OK...I just got my first case and started opening it at Midnight (kids & wife to sleep):
Here's the breakdown:
Box 1: Topper: 181 Red Foil: 106 Blue Foil: 30, 45 Puzzle: 9 total AUTO: Lorne Peterson
Box 2: Topper: 105 Red Foil: 84 Blue Foil: 51, 64 Puzzle: 8 total SKETCH: Leia by Sean Pence1:1,640
Box 3: Topper: 195 Red Foil: 108 Blue Foil: 3, 12 Puzzle: 8 total AUTO: Carrie Fisher1:6,561 (Got in trouble for waking the wife after 1 AM) Never pulled a 1:274 box average card in my life!
I'm thinking I'm golden for all 4 cases I ordered....getting the #2 card in the set (1:75). I'm an AUTO collector mainly! The box is not done......then Gold Foil: #92 (27/30) 1:287 Gold Foils are every other case (1:12 boxes).
Box 4: Topper: 50 Red Foil: 33 Blue Foil: 46, 59 Puzzle: 8 total SKETCH: Luke by Sean Pence1:1,640 I'm happy to have a set of Luke & Leia! then Gold Foil: #12 (10/30) 1:287 I'm chilling......
Box 5: Topper: 195 (duplicate) Red Foil: 84 Blue Foil: 51, 64 Puzzle: 8 total SKETCH: Obi-wan by Robert Teranishi
Box 6: Topper: 136 Red Foil: 60 Blue Foil: 13, 113 Puzzle: 8 total SKETCH: Sand Person by Fabbri
Then I stopped. It's late ... I'm HAPPY tired! (2 boxes left)
I've already beaten the odds with this case.
It feels good to finally get a HIT case vs. the more common MISS case once in a long while.

Some disappointing sketches of Jawas. I really thought that after LOTR Evolution, we had put these types of sketches behind us. What's especially disappointing is that I've seen some of the other cards that this artist did for this set and they are very nice.

Just finished opening my 3 cases. I have 5 boxes to triple-check that didn't have an autograph or sketch card so I'm very disappointed. Things started picking up by the end of case # 2 and I beat the odds with the gold parallels.

seen a few great cards on the auction site,50 cases i just managed to go halfs with my brother lol
