Box Loader 1:36 (BL-2) Looney Tunes Tours 1:11 (3) ACME cards 1:17 (2) Autograph Redemption 1:36 (1) Joe Dante (At least it wasn't a Stanton Bro.)
Not nearly as happy as last time, and I did not do the "I got the best card" dance.
The biggest dissapointment was that this box had almost the identical inserts, and singles. I only got two inserts that I didn't get in my first box, and none of my extra singles could be used to fill the third set.
Everyone is talking about getting boxes at "good" prices. Can you let us know what sort of prices you are paying.
As I live in the UK I have to buy boxes of cards through Ebay as the shops over here charge way more that what I can get them for online (including airmail postage).
Box Loader 1:36 (BL-2) Same one all three times! Looney Tunes Tours 1:11 (3) More doubles ACME cards 1:17 (2) I am 1 card away from this set finally! Autograph Redemption 1:36 (1) Dan Stanton
Well, I have one more bargain box on it's way, and if I pull another Stanton, or Dante it will be my last. If I pull the Martin, Elfman or Fraser I will definitely have to consider making a master.
Once more, my biggest dissapointment was that this box had almost the identical inserts, and singles as my first two boxes. (Except for autos of course!) I would not complain one bit if every auto was Locklear. It's still a fun box, and at the price they are selling, it's hard not to grab them. My daughter loves opening them too, so it's fun all around.
Box Loader 1:36 (BL-3) Finally a different card! Looney Tunes Tours 1:11 (3) more duplicates ACME cards 1:17 (2) again, more duplicates Autograph Redemption 1:36 (1) Heather Locklear another duplicate, but I'm not complaining!
The, "I got the best card" dance has returned to Dobby's house!
Picked up a couple of cheap boxes. Heres what i got:
Box 1 Base sets x2 BL2 LTT 1, 2, 3 A 1, 2 AD-1 (Brendan Fraser)
Box 2 Base sets x2 BL2 (again ) LTT 1, 8, 9 A 4, 5 AD-1 (Don Stanton - indifferent, wudda liked someone else though )
With the spares commons i managed to make another base set. Collation for this set out of two boxes therefore was really good, especially for common cards.
I have a few spare chase to trade and need a few to complete this set... i shall post what i need in the trade forum!!!
36 packs, 6 cards each C- Box design B- Wrapper design B+ (metallic) 2 base sets A Base design C (good mix, some weak images) A3,4 B+ (glitter) LTT4,5,6,7 B+ BL2 C (motion card would have been better) Auto redemption D- (HLocklear) Auto redemption card design B+ Insert ratios D 8/36 Value "Bang for Buck" D Fun Factor C-
Overall C/C- Chase design is the strength of this release. Some base card images are a little fuzzy. Eventhough, I got the best auto, I despise auto redemptions. Motion cards would have been a great improvement.This message has been edited. Last edited by: xtime,

Wow, your standards must be mighty high to give a D- for a heather Locklear auto.

Please read the note at the bottom of the review about my disdain for redemption cards. The low grade is for the autograph being a redemption card. Just because I happen to get lucky and pull a great auto/costume/very rare chase card, still try to not let that bias my review. Thanks for letting me clarify.
