I got a special treat in the last box I opened, there was a case topper at the bottom! #438/600, + the regular one #480/600
That was also the box that had the Swoosie Kurtz in it.

Over all good break, I wish there wasn't so many dupes (I was expecting some, but not that many), but I pulled 5 of the Very Limited and 8 of the Limited, and I got 3 Dharma Patches, so I'm happy.

Not to bad for two boxes, I was very happy with the Emerson since I missed out on him in the first set. Great looking cards but I wish they would have put some details of each person on the backs of the cards. The last few set from Rittenhouse have been like that, Women of Trek, Bond H&V's, Stargate Heroes, I love the cards I just feel that they are missing something.

I opened a box while traveling (something to pass the time in at the airport).

Josh Holloway Shirt (342/375) - last pack in the box!

4 autos were:
Grant Bowler as Captain Gault (now on True Blood?)
Bruce Davison as Dr. Brooks
Sonya Walger as Penny Widmore Limited
Andrew Divoff as Mikhail Limited

Not a bad one!

I opened the first BOX (8BOX in total).

I was a little disappointed.
Because, I wanted new signer without 1 thru 5.

And, Very Limited cards is not special like last time it.

I have to say I was disappointed with the case. I got the 2 Dharma patch cards which were 1:144 packs. But I only got 1 costume card(1:96 packs) in the whole case, when there is supposed to be 3.

Amazing break. I really couldn't ask for anything better even with the dupes and missing auto. The case incentive was a nice surprise along with the 2 patch cards. I did end up with 3 dupes, but I am not complaining. Time to update my trade list.

Overall very happy with breakdown from my two cases, only blip being the duplication on the patches!

One full base set plus extras.

Artifex
A29 Sam Anderson as Bernard Nadler
A34 John Hawkes as Lennon

I would have liked a very limited auto, but I'm happy with the two limited. While I was at the comic shop I picked up two loose packs and I got...

Dharma Patch Card #DP1 Jack Shepard 038/250

Now I'm really happy!

That's great.....I mean that a card shop does layaways

Nice pull from the two loose packs- what are the chances!
My 6 boxes arrived today- yeah. Will post breaks once opened all. Trying to spread them out over the next couple of days, but sooo hard having them just sit there unopened.

Not really surprising. Most Friendly Dealers™ will do about anything to keep a customer's business.

And it's not just lay-away. A Friendly Dealer™ will hold an item till your next paycheck, hold things to combine shipping, and hold things until you can pick them up at a show.

As was mentioned in another thread, service is one way to compete without always being cheapest.

Some friendly dealers are fantastic!
In fact, most dealers I've dealt with are very friendly with their layaway plans!

I picked up 4 boxes and ended up with 1 patch and 2 costume cards beating the odds there.

Extremely pleased with my break.
Just a note, both boxes with the costume card had the exact same 3 expansion and 2 artifact cards. The box with the patch only had 1 artifact card (i'm not complaining!).

My LCS owner called me Wednesday and says "the 4 boxes of Lost Archives that you ordered are here". I had zero recollection of ordering any of it but the guy is my friend and I'm likely the only one who goes to that shop that would break this product so I went in and broke 'em. I don't have scans at the moment but here was the very, very good break in my opinion.

Common autos:

Blake Bashoff (Karl)
Kim Dickens (Cassidy)
MC Gainey (Mr. Friendly)
Fred Lehne (Marshal Edward Mars)
Marc Vann (Freighter Doc)
James Horan (Wayne- Kate's Mom's boyfriend who she blew up)
Grant Bowler (Freighter Captain)
Bruce Davison (Insane Asylum Doc)
Cynthia Watros (Libby- very surprised that this one is a common)
Neil Hopkins (Liam- Charlie's brother and fellow member of Driveshaft)

Limited Autos:

Tania Raymonde (Alex Rousseau)
Andrew Divoff (Mikhail)
Ian Somerhalder (Boone)

Very Limited Autos:

Harold Perrineau (Michael)
Michael Emerson (Benjamin Linus)
John Terry (Christian Shephard)

as if it wasn't enough to get 6 limited and very limited autos plus a Dharma patch of Jin, hiding under the packs in box 4 was the 6 case incentive auto Cheech Marin as David Reyes (Hurley's Dad)

very happy with the break and now I'll look to fill in the set.
