Can't believe no one has posted anything for this release yet. Anyway, I opened up two boxes tonight, and received:
Base set - 2 complete sets, 8 duplicates Archers - 2 complete sets, no duplicates Character Bios - 2 complete sets, 2 duplicates Suicide Squad - 2 complete sets, 2 duplicates Green foil parallel - 12 cards total Red foil parallel - 6 cards total Numbered parallel - 1 card (base card 39, numbered 09/40) Autographs - Celina Jade, Katrina Law, Michael Rowe Stickers - S2, S8 Wardrobe - M05 (The Dark Archer), M17 (Thea Queen)
Good luck to anyone who is brave enough to try and put together the numbered parallel set. At 1:30 packs, it's gonna take a lot of packs to complete that one!
Overall, a decent release. The cards themselves are somewhat dark, in keeping with the overall look of the show. Nice heavier cardstock for the base set, which is always a plus. Great collation on the subsets, basically getting a complete set of each of the Bios, Archers, and Suicide Squad cards. With only 8 extra cards over 2 boxes, the market for base cards is probably going to be virtually nonexistent. I was very pleased to beat the odds on the autograph cards, getting two in one box.
This release seems to be up to the usual Cryptozoic standards for such a release. I've been pleased with their previous TV related sets, and this one is no exception.

I bought two boxes of this release this week. I feel like I got a lot bang for my buck. Here is the breakdown for the first box:
1 base set all 9 Character cards all 9 Suicide Squad cards 4 Archers cards, set of 3 with a double of A3 all 6 Mirakuru cards 1 sticker card, S9 6 green foil stamp parallel cards 3 red foil stamp parallel cards 1 silver foil board parallel card, #20 numbered 38/40 Wardrobe card M17, Thea Queen Seth Gabel autograph card Summer Glau autograph card SG2 1 black printing plate card
I was very surprised to pull the Summer Glau card as I had already pulled the Seth Gabel card and was not expecting two autographs in the box. I am happy to have pulled both of those cards. The second box looked like this:
1 base set all 9 Character cards 10 Suicide Squad cards, all with an extra Z6 all 3 Archers cards all 6 Mirakuru cards 1 sticker card, S1 6 green foil stamp parallel cards 3 red foil stamp parallel cards 1 silver foil board parallel card, #29 numbered 29/40 Wardrobe card M07, Moira Queen Dual wardrobe card DM5, Sara Lance and Oliver Queen Kelly Hu autograph card
I am really pleased with the contents of those two boxes.
