I'm hoping for my Buffy cards on Tuesday: has anyone else in the UK who's ordered via Cards Inc seen their Buffy stuff yet?

You mean I have to wait till past Tuesday before I recive my Buffy cards!!!
I just don't think I can cope that long

Oh well reading about all your box breakdowns has been helping me get over this sad fact...

Oh and Sarah - really sorry to not have got your Angel season 4 basic sets out to you yet... I've had a very long and tiring 2 weeks and my mind hasn't been on it (hence a rather low profile the last week on cardtalk...)

*Mike*
It's funny till someone gets hurt.....
Then its hilarious.

Well, it's only ONE box , but here's how I did....

2 BASE SETS
FINAL BATTLE #1 8 9
FINAL BATTLE PARALLEL #4
SLAYER'S LEGACY #1 2
BOX LOADER #3
PIECEWORKS...RACHEL'S BLOUSE
AUTOGRAPH...AMANDA

I've got another box coming any day and may have a third lined up IF I win an eBay auction. When it's all said and done, I'll form a wanlist of inserts. I'd like to form a master set, but that's a bit of a pipe dream . I've ordered my binder from Inkworks just in case

By the way, I made an hour round trip to get the box mentioned above. That just goes to show how quick it's selling in shops. I called several before I left the house.

Lots of Basic Sets

I have just finished my case, will post the breakdown later today... but in summary:

4 sets of Box Loaders, Slayer's Legacy, The Final Battle plus spares

One complete set of Parallels

One short of a complete Costume run (PW-5) FIVE PW-1 cards (aargh!!!! Togas!!!!) of which two were the gold variant. Nice blodstained PW7 and PW8, plus the (reasonably) rare PW3.

PLENTY short of a full auto run: no Glory or Kennedy (don't panic Andrew, already taken care of ), plus doubles of Amanda, Chao-Ahn, Chloe, Robin Wood and Quentin Travers.

One of my boxes had double autos, and the chase distribution was VERY good... love the Slayer's Legacy cards, the Box loaders survived pretty well, but the Pieceworks and the Autos edges leave a bit to be desired...

Overall, 8/10.

A couple of comments: the case was sealed with tamper-proof tape, as was the case card, and it would have taken some going to get everything out without the damage being obvious. Expect to see this technique being used in the future, as it would keep cases as investments and prevent pilfering.

Overall this was a fun case to open, despite the duplications. Not sure how many sets I'll be able to glean per box, but I'd guess it will be at least two...

REMEMBER: Take out the 'removemefirst' from my e-mail address to reply...

my case arrived today and here is the breakdown

1x ar-1 nikki wood
1x A40 Robin wood
1x A42 glory
1x A45 Rona
1x A46 Amanda
2x A47 Molly
3x A48 Vi
1x A49 Chao-ahi

Thats 11 autos out of 12 boxes none had two in a box and one had none.

3x pw1 2 plain 1 with gold
1x pw2
1x pw3
1x pw4
1x pw5
2x pw6
1x pw7
2x pw8 1 with and 1 without blood

3 sets of the box loaders, slayer's legacy and final battle

1 full set of the parallel final battle set

and

an extra fbp 5 6 7 and fb 6 7

all in all quite happy but the 3 vi autos is a bit of a let down and no Kennedy, Travers or caleb auto was just upsetting but saying that it could have been much worse

I've managed to make five sets from two boxes of commons, which aint at all bad. I'll predict on those numbers.... ooh, about 30 sets...

Box Loader BL-2 (severely dinged corner; I may send it in for a replacement)
Slayer's Legacy SL-1, SL-6
Final Battle FB-6, FB-7, FB-8
Final Battle Parallel FBP-9
Pieceworks PW-6 Olaf's Tunic (wanted Kennedy's t-shirt, of course)
Autograph A-53 Caleb This was one of the three I wanted (the other two are Clare Kramer and Felicia Day, anyone have extras to trade?)

I was a little nervous towards the end, as the pieceworks and auto were in the last two packs I opened -- I was wondering if Inkworks would believe it if I didn't have either one. Everything except for the auto card and Slayer's Legacy cards are for trade, by the way.

I bought a box, i got

the Guardian and Fisrt Slayer Slayers Legacy cards
Puzzle Pieces 2,5,8
Gold Piece fbp-1
Olafs Tunic Costume Card

and!!!!

NO AUTOGRAPH CARD

Im mighty annoyed especially with the reports of people with 2 autos in a box, it has really put me off the set as someone who normally only buys a couple of boxes each set, i doubt i will be buying anymore and i know theres nothing that can be done about it im just utterly downed by it.

I'm right there with ya. I go no auto in my box either.

1 box
1 basic set
PW-1 Toga with lots of gold on it
BL-2 (to Christmas Jones)
FBP -8
SL4, SL5
FB1,7,8,9

Other than no auto, not a bad haul

Jewel

I got my box today, and am very happy. Here's what I got:
Box Loader BL3 Buffy & Angel (bashed card)
2 complete base sets
Final Battle chase cards: FB-1,FB-8,FB-9,FBP-6
Slayers Legacy chase cards:SL-6,SL-1
Pieceworks card PW1- Andrews Toga mostly covered in gold and white stitching
Auto card A44 Iyari Limon
I am very impressed with this set, the chase cards are gorgeous & I love my p/w & auto cards. The Kennedy auto is really big & clear.
Now I just have to decide whether to get a 2nd box. (I wasn't going to as I pre ordered the Joss Whedon case card instead - but now I am very tempted)
All in all an excellent box

I bought 10 packs (5 on Tues and 5 on Wed)of Buffy Season 7 and got PW-8 (Jennifer Shon as Rachel pants), A46 (Sarah Hagan as Amanda) plus 2 Slayer's Legacy cards.

I also bought 5 Angel season 3 packs on Tues and got A28 (Randy Oglesby as Prof. Siedel) and 1 Redemption (subset) card.

Not too bad. Won't be buying anymore from those boxes though.

I emailed Inkworks just asking about the auto in every box. I told them that I didn't receive one in my box. Sue Lake emailed me today and told me that one was on it's way to me. I did give her my box number and so on. I don't know which one. I'll keep you all posted. I did get 10 packs as well, I've not received them as of yet. INKWORKS ROCKS!!!!

Jewel

Rock on! Good for Inkworks!

Here is my box breakdown.

1 complete set
Slayers Legacy: SL3, 4
Final Battle: FB2, 3, 4
Box loader: BL3
Parallel: FBP5
Piecework: Andrew's toga all white
Auto A51 Amanda Fuller-Eve

This was an especially nice set. Especially the subsets!

If anyone wants to trade A51 for A49 Chao-Ahn, email me. That is the one I really wanted!!

I also am not going to collect the Parallel cards, so I will trade 2-3 of the other chases for the one I have.
