I got one of these boxes - my wife gave it to me for Xmas. I got 6 autograph cards and 1 costume card out of my box which had packs from Outer Limits (Sex, Cyborgs, and Science Fiction),The Complete Lost In Space, Conan, Quotable Star Trek TNG, James Bond Die Another Day, Twilight Zone (2 different series), Complete Babylon 5, Stargate Atlantis, Six Feet Under, Farscape Through the Wormhole, Complete Battlestar Galactica, and Farscape Season 2.

Autograph/Costume/Sketch card wise, I got:

Farscape DA3 Hey/Goddard
Outer Limits A9 Burt Young
Twilight Zone A-51 Wright King
Stargate Atlantis Laura Mennell as Sanir
Six Feet Under Aysia Polk
Lost In Space Mark Goddard
The Quotable Star Trek TNG: Lieutenance Worf C7 Costume card.

Plus a bunch of subset cards....

A great idea. I hope they do it again next year.

Mike.

This offer was only available to retail collectors and as stated was limited to 60 total boxes. Due to an early problem, a few (four) people were able to order 2 boxes and one dealer was able to order one. This problem was quickly identified and corrected. The remaining boxes were limited to one per customer and retail collectors only. The decision to offer this item was made on Saturday 17th and an email with detail was sent out on Monday.

Thanks for posting, Robert!

I was one of the people able to order 2 boxes - they were QUITE fun to open and I was grateful to Rittenhouse for the opportunity to open packs from series I hadn't originally bought along with series I already enjoyed.

I'm sorry some folks are unhappy, but this offer certainly made my Christmas a bit merrier! Thanks again for the promotion!

I was lucky to get home after work and going to the gym to find the email. I thought "This is a dandy idea" and was thought i i'd buy one.

Not soon afterwards (abt5 mins) i rec'd an email saying i had bought the last box woohoo

Just waiting for the box to arrive now, as i'm in the UK, i didn't get it in time for xmas but hey, can't wait to get it

Thanx Rittenhouse!!!

I too received the newsletter, but took me quite a long time to find the correct location where you could order a box, but was too late, they were all snatched up........ bah!

I bought one for a present for myself.
The box contained:

Art of Conan - 9 packs - 4 insert cards
Dead Zone - 1 pack - Auto card
Star Trek Enterprise 4 - 1 pack - Costume card
Complete Battlestar Galactica - 1 pack - 1 insert card
Six Feet Under - 1 pack - Auto card
Fantasy Worlds of Irwin Allen - 2 packs - 0 insert cards
Riddick - 2 packs - 1 insert card
Outer Limits Sex,Cyborgs and SF - 8 packs - 1 Auto card, 1 Costume card, 3 insert cards
Highlander - 1 pack - Auto card
Women of James Bond Motion - 1 pack - Auto card
Legendary Journeys of Hercules - 2 packs - 1 insert card
Wild,Wild,West - 2 packs - 1 insert card
Complete Voyager - 9 packs - 3 insert cards

As stated already it was fun opening packs of product you normally would not pickup and I might just try and get more of the Wild,Wild West cards.

And with only 60 boxes it was obvious that not everyone could get one, it was the luck of the draw. Plus for those who didn't get a newsletter that's life - Everybody can't have everything

I never got an email so i never had a chance but they look intresting from what has been posted.

Cause i would have tried to trade for my pack.

Wow, these boxes sound like fun! Bummer I didn't get the e-mail either. Still a to RA for making the offer!

I'm i think i deifnaetly go ahead and finish Conan, purely cos its a lovely art set (even though i don't have any love for Conan)

Only downside was pulling two if the same auto from 11 packs of Outer Limits (what are the chances of that hey?)

Thanx Rittenhouse for this great Opportunity!! Keep up the good work for 2006!!!

Fair enough- but those who didn't get the e-mail didn't even have a chance (however small) of getting one of these boxes... and it seems that an email didn't reach everyody... *shrugs* so i'm not sure what happened!
