Lucky son of a...

You have some luck - this is one nice product to get an Archive box on. Where was the sticker placed just out of curiosity?

My very first archive box. I've wanted one from a James Bond set or from a Star Trek TOS set so I was over the moon especially since this set has Roger Moore, George Lazanby and Honor Blackman autos in it.

The sticker was inside the box at the bottom so the box was already open when I saw it. The windscreen relic card was at the bottom of box under all the packs too.

I'm keeping one box unopened for tomorrow but from the other 10 boxes

The relic cards I got are
QC01, QC02 (x2), QC05, QC06, QC07, QC08, QC10, QC12, QC13, QC15, QC16, QC17, QC18, QC19, QC20, QC22, QC23, QC25, QC27

Just opened my 4 boxes...I am ecstatic right now!

I will post a full breakdown later but I pulled the Bond /350 Shirt/Tie costume, a Joe Don Baker Very Limited Auto and..... Famke Janssen Very Limited Autograph! I was hoping for a Roger Moore or George Lazenvy Autograph but ummm those two will do lol!

I don't wish to clog up the box breakdowns, but I though I might have more luck posting here.

I am looking to trade for the Quantum of Solace Complete Bond Expansion Card #194 (centre-piece). If anyone has one going spare please point me towards your wants list.

Thanks.

I bought two more boxes off of ebay. They arrived today.

Box #1:


Caterina Murino (Very Limited) Famke Janssen (Very Limited)


QC08-Modrano's Jacket & Mr. Greene's Shirt (20/825-Regular) & QC12 Bond's Shirt, Jacket, & Pants (481/675-Regular)

Box #2:


Paul Ritter (Limited), Tobias Menzies (Limited)


QC05-Camille's Tank Top, Blouse, & Pants (190/475-Limited), QC18-Bond's Shirt & Jacket (676/750-Regular)
----------

I finally got a Famke auto!!!!!! I've been wanting one for a very long time. I can scratch her off my want list. It's nice that I also got a Caterino Murino auto. It's my second auto of hers. The first (40th, limited) is from the Complete set. This one is full bleed and very limited. It's good that I didn't get any dupes with the autos, but I am bit bummed that all four costume cards are dupes. But at least I did get a variant. Blood on the QC18 costume. It also appears that there is a bit of dirt on the pants swatch of QC12. I think I'll end up buying some more costumes from this set so I can have a bit more variety. Before anyone asks, the Famke and Caterino autos are not for trade or sale.

My results from my OTB day two box breaks:
I got:

Paul Ritter auto FB

QC13 690/775 (White's jacket & Bond's pants dial swatch)
QC26 482/625 (Greene's Driver's jacket swatch)

Box #3:
Paul Ritter auto - duplicate
Tobias Menzies auto - another duplicate
Q12 - another one I all ready had, plus only one!
DL 12 ,15 (something new!)
Complete- 197 , 198

QC18 Bond Shirt & Jacket ( the only card from this set that I bought on ebay, plus there was no blood on my swatch)

Box #4 (better, but still not the best)
Samantha Bond auto - one I wanted!
Stefan Kalipha auto - never heard of him, but happy not to have a duplicate auto
DL 11,18 - both new!
Complete 191, 194 - all ready had

F66 - all ready had
Q9,11 - all ready had

I'm happy with my Samantha Bond auto, but I'm really bummed with all the duplicates that I got, as I was hoping for some new cards for my collection, even if they weren't the high end ones. I really do like this set, but I think that I might end up buying the singles that I want to finish the set, rather than taking a chance at another box and getting burned again.

OK 2 boxes finally arrived after paying GBP24.10 customs charges

Kinda disappointed in the duplicates on the insert cards. I probably won't bother purchasing any more packs or boxes, just purchase the cards I am missing on the auction site or by trading. Not a bad looking set, but I'm not as excited about this one as the last release. Too much emphasis on Quantum of Solace, I suppose.

Yea - it does seem to have a Quantum bent - which I guess can be expected since there's no Quantum specific set, but still...more generic would have been nice (I'm making my comments based on what I've read - don't have a set yet myself )

I've got an extra of this card if you still need it.
Here are some cards I need from this set: DL13, Q13, Q10, 0067.

Boxes are 24 packs of 5 cards. 12 boxes per case, 6000 numbered boxes. Expect 1.58 base sets on average, if collation were perfect; my two boxes meshed to give me 3 complete base sets, but I duped on inserts. The cards are nicely done. I'm still not a huge fan of base sets that are merely photo stills, but this set is aimed at the Hobby market and the chase is "the thing."
