Went a little nuts with this release since I love the show so much and was hoping to pull one of the main cast autos, especially Katie Cassidy who plays Laurel Lance on the show. I didn't get her but I did OK on my boxes-I haven't had a chance to collate my base sets yet.

Val

Got a box as a gift for my birthday-may go and pick up another tomorrow. Here's what I got:

A13 Byron Mann as Yao Fei(again)

A Mostly good box though I wish my auto had been different but I finally got a Laurel costume card

Val

So I went into my job today intending to buy myself another box of Arrow, when my coworker decided to buy it for me and here's what was inside:

A11B: John Barrowman as the Dark Archer
CB1, CB4
Bronze: 16, 32, 64, 85, CB3, TR1
CCC1, CCC6
CC4, CC6
TR1, TR9
M21 Willa Holland as Thea Queen
Gold 37

oh and-

A2: Katie Cassidy as Laurel Lance!!!!!

Might be my best birthday pull ever from a card box.

I might have to try for a master set of autographs from this set.

Val

Terrific, great box

To say I am addicted to this set would be an understatement- I got another box tonight(my seventh) and here's what I got:

A18a: Jessica de Gouw as Helena Bertinelli(which I already have...)
CB2 CB11
Bronze: 11, 45, 67, 77, CB18, TR2
CCC3 CCC5
CC1 CC3
TR4 TR8
M1 Stephen Amell as Oliver Queen(already have as well)
Gold TR4(1/40)
Printing Plate for Card #8 in Black.

Not a bad break even though I aleady have both of the major hits.

Val

I opened my box today and got:

A18a - Jessica De Gouw
M17 - Laurel Lance
Cyan Printing Plate for Card #40
TR3, TR7, TR9 (bronze)
CB04 (bronze, CB08, CB17
CC1, CC6
CCC2, CCC4
1 base set

The set is really nice, especially the character bios. I like the horizontal base cards (the vertical have too much border) and I love my first ever printing plate!

Got one more box of Arrow(I can't stop...it's my new favorite show) here's what I got:

A18B: Jessica de Gouw as the Huntress
CB3, CB13
Bronze: 19, 30, 48, 59, CB14, TR5
CCC3 CCC5
CC1 CC3
TR1 TR6
M17 Katie Cassidy as Laurel Lance Costume Card
Gold 65 77

Not too shabby. I definitely want to open more boxes as I am still missing 11 autographs in the set and a ton of costumes, but maybe I'll do the rest piecemeal at this point.

Val

I opened two boxes of Arrow Season 1.

First box:
1 base set
Character bio CB06 and CB16
Training TR5 and TR7
Comic Covers CC4 and CC6
Comic Covers Cryptomium style CCC1 and CCC6
Parallels: base set 18, 44, 63, 69, Training TR4, Character bio CB09, gold parallel CB05 #07/40
Wardrobe card M14, Moira Queen
Autograph A21, Michael Rowe as Floyd Lawton

Second box:
Character bio CB076 and CB15
Training TR2 and TR6
Comic Covers CC2 and CC5
Comic Covers Cryptomium style CCC2 and CCC4
Parallels: base set 57, 74, 84, 86, Training TR6, Character bio CB13, gold parallel 255 #15/40
Wardrobe card DM3, Malcolm Merlyn and Tommy Merlyn
Autograph A17, Chin Han as Frank Chen

The second box did not have a base set in it. It is short by 12 cards.

I am not a big fan of parallel sets these days, but I do like the two different versions of the comic covers chase set.

This is my very first time buying trading cards! I always looked at them in passing and thought "eh, what's the point?" And then I bought a box of Arrow Season One because I love the show and I had some tax money left, and ... uh ... I really want to buy another one.

So suffice it to say that I get it now Still don't know all the jargon (just learned about group breaks-- cool) but I'll try my best...

My pulls:

1x Base Set
Bronze: 15, 75, 80, 87

Character Bios: CB02, CB06, CB11, CB18
Gold: CB02 (Laurel Lance! yay!), 23/40; CB18 (Walter Steele-- it looks gold, but it's unnumbered? someone care to help me? haha)

Training: TR4, TR5, TR7

Comic Covers: CC2, CC4
Cryptomium: CCC1, CCC3 (these are cool)

Wardrobe: M11 (John Barrowman as Malcolm Merlyn, nice!)

Autograph: A10 (Celina Jade as Shado-- I kind of yelped when I saw this)

Printing Plate: Yellow, M12

All in all, very enjoyable. Kind of a money sink but I think it's worth it when it comes to memorabilia like Merlyn's tie. Honestly a highlight of my week, if not the highlight.

So this is Box 9 for me I realize, but I may have to stop soon as prices are starting to creep up on boxes. Here's what I pulled:

CB2, CB15
Bronze: 6, 18, 66, 88, CB3, TR6
CCC1, CCC3
CC1, CC6
TR4, TR8
M20 Byron Mann as Yao Fei
Gold 10

and

A6: Paul Blackthorne as Quentin Lance!

Very happy to pull another short print auto.

Now to figure out where to go next with the set, as I am still missing four of the Short Print autos, a ton of costume cards and a few of the common autos.

Val

Now is the time to buy the rest☺

Box 10:

I should probably make this the last box I buy since I am now hitting repeat town, but I may try to go for a dozen boxes. We shall see.

Here's what I got:

A17: Chin Han as Frank Chen
CB13, CB18
Bronze: 5, 28, 46, 78, CB6, TR5
CCC2, CCC5
CC4, CC6
TR2, TR6
M21 Willa Holland as Thea Queen
Gold 36
Cyan Printing Plate for Card 61

Val

Box 11:

Not a complete loss, since I got a new costume card and some new inserts out of it. Here's what I got:

A13: Byron Mann as Yao Fei
CB5, CB14
Bronze: 8, 28, 34, 71, CB8, TR3
CCC2, CCC4
CC3, CC5
TR5, TR8
DM3 John Barrowman as Malcolm Merlyn and Colin Donnell as Tommy Merlyn Dual Costume Card
Gold 76

I think I will try and do one more box and call it a day, but Buffy will need to happen first.

Val
