Nice RAM sketch but unlucky about the Lumley auto - have you emailed Barrie as I think the guarantee of a case containing a complete set of all the contents within the series still applies. Good luck
Now where on earth have my New Avengers and Who Trilogy got to

Only one sketch in the case ? I thought it was 1 sketch in every 3 boxes ?

I think that applies to Dr Who/CSI although the advertising is unclear

Long time collector, first time case buyer! I figured with the low numbers on this series, this was the best way to guarantee a Jo Lumley! The breakdowns were (BT = Box Topper):
Box 433: William Franklyn, Laurie Johnson, Keith Barron Box 434: BT: Steed costume, Brian Clemens, John Castle Box 435: Gareth Hunt, Alan Armstrong, Frank Thornton (redemp.) Box 436: William Franklyn, Caroline Munroe Box 437: BT: sketch card, Laurie Johnson, Keith Barron Box 438: Patrick Macnee, Brian Clemens, John Castle Box 439: Gareth Hunt, Alan Armstrong, Frank Thornton (redemp.) Box 440: Keith Barron, William Franklyn, Caroline Munroe Box 441: BT: Steed costume, Brian Clemens, Laurie Johnson Box 442: John Castle, Alan Armstrong, Frank Thornton (redemp.) Box 443: Joanna Lumley, Gareth Hunt Box 444: BT: Sketch card (redemp.), William Franklyn, Caroline Munroe
So 1 x Jo and Pat, 4 x William Franklyn and everyone else x 3 - a pretty fair break! Only 2 boxes had only 2 autos and no topper (and one of those had the Jo), all boxes with toppers had only 2 autos - fair enough! Exactly 6 x gold foil chase sets - 50% per box. My only moan is that a lot of the base cards had a fault along the right hand edge (when looking at a landscape picture). It seems to be mechanical damage. As a result I only got 12 complete base sets which I would consider selling on - would have been more like 20.
All in all a great set, and well worth the wait!

Nice case break Starman. Any chance of you posting an image of your sketch card ?

Thanks cardster!
I don't need to scan the card as it's on the Strictly site already! It's a Nick Neocleous card, 13th row down on the right hand side - Steed with hat and brolly. Great sketch!
Just back from the Memorabilia show - saw some pretty high prices on auto cards. Glad I bought a case now!
Exactly the same breakdown as Raj except that I got 1 Macnee and 1 Lumley so a complete set of autos.
The sketch was a redemption so I am posting that off to Strictly Ink along with the Thornton auto redemptions and hope for a nice colour card.

Amazing box indeed! Barrie's going to swap one of my Macnee's for a Lumley.

That's great news Raj. Looks like the case is going to work out well for you after all.

Again a nice set though a personal view is that the foils should have been 6 per main character/actor rather than 3 Steed/Macnee, 6 Purdey/Lumley and 3 Gambit/Hunt
