Overall Impressions... A very nice set indeed. The lenticular base set has a backing on it (similar to the recent Batman Archives lenticular chase sets), so you can see the movement in a 9-pocket page. There are a lot of hits in each box which does it very enjoyable to open.
A worthy addition to RA's Bond sets.This message has been edited. Last edited by: Thush, October 29, 2008 02:04 PM

Autos: My big pull was - A116 John Terry as Felix Leitner (Very Limited)
Exceptional set per usual. If this set was any indication as to what is in-store for the Star Trek motion set, then I'm even more excited!

Amazing break, you got three very limited cards out of three boxes and I only got 1 out of an entire case. Congrats!

I found a couple of oddities in my first case break and thought I’d pose a couple of questions to get things cleared up.
1.) Some of the 40th Anniv autos that I pulled do not have the words “CONGRATULATIONS” printed in red at the top. Is that an error or do all of the cards listed below (and maybe others) have that word omitted? A113 – Stark A114 – Bush A115 – Newton A117 – Calder A118 – Carlyle
2.) The checklist states that the SC04 Relic is a Solange piece and the SC05 Relic card is a Gettler piece. I pulled a SC04 w/a Gettler piece and I pulled an SC05 w/a Carlos piece (which, on the checklist, is noted as an SC06). Soooo…is the SC06 a Solange piece or has the SC06 been eliminated from this set?
Any clarification that can be provided would be much appreciated…Thanks in advance!

I "confirmed" some of the numbers from auctions that said they were such-and-such numbers in the text, but I didn't see scans of the card backs. There were quite a few numbering changes for Batman Archives, so I'll watch these some more.
UPDATE: Rittenhouse updated their web checklist, and it now matches the "oddities" noted by THX2112. It looks like there wasn't an SC06 or any other Solange single costume.
Here's my two-box breakdown:
Box: 24 packs of 4 cards, 9000 numbered boxes. Expect 1.20 base sets of 63 cards if collation were perfect.
James Bond Lenticular: JB1, JB2(x2), JB3, JB4, JB5, JB6
Bond Girls Are Forever: BG59, BG61, BG69
Bond Allies: BA20, BA23
Bond Villians: F42, F43, F52 ----
Overall I'm happy with my pulls. I like the double and triple costumes. I think it would have been nice if Rittenhouse had of done cards with costumes from more movies. But the costume cards are still nice. My TC07 Bond costume is a variant. Half of the shirt swatch has blood on it. Nice look. I wish I had gotten one more Relic card, but the one I have is really nice looking. The scan doesn't do it justice. The autos are nice. Three out of eight were limited. Full Bleeds always look good. I have a Vesper Lynd case topper costume card coming in the mail. I'll post a scan when I get it. I think Rittenhouse did a better job with the lenticular look with this set than what they did with the Women in Motion set, but not by much. I might get some more boxes down the road.

Opened two boxes yesterday, with the following results:
Box 6751 Autographs - A88, A100 Costume cards - TC03, TC04 Bond Allies - BA25, BA30 Bond Girls - BG52, BG62, BG71 Bond Villains - F48, F54, F57 JB subset - 1 complete set, 2 extras Base set - 1 complete set, 11 extras
Box 0636 Autographs - A104, Tsai Chin (full bleed) Costume cards - TC06 Relic cards - RC22 Bond Allies - BA28, BA33 Bond Girls - BG55, BG59, BG60 Bond Villains - F44, F46, F58 JB subset - 1 complete set, 1 extra Base set - 1 complete set, 11 extras
Overall, I think this is pretty good looking set. I am not a huge fan of lenticular cards, so that aspect of the release was less than appealing. However, the use of the costume cards helps make up for it.
I assume from looking at the box breakdowns, and having not studied the information at RA's website, the triple costumes are actually somewhat easier to get than the single or double costumes. Is this the case? I have also noticed that the triple costumes seem to be more abundant on the auction site than the others.
I will keep trying to pull the Honor Blackman autograph... Congrats to Womble for that nice pull!

Thanks Will, most of the triples costume cards are more common than the others as they have used smaller pieces of material, the single costume cards use really large pieces of material.
