Opened my case today, too tired to post the complete breakdown until tomorrow but this is by far the best sketch in the case. A full color Gimli by Amy Pronovost. I just went through all 506 of her sketches and only 10 are full color and a few more has color bits.

congrats on getting the Amy Gimli
esp since there are only 10

Holycow, Wow!

Grats, big, big grats!

Yeah, I only did less than a dozen colour cards this time around.

And that one, I think, is my second favourite behind the balrog out of the colour cards I produced.

There is a colour legolas floating around, I THINK, but for the life of me I don't know why I didn't get a scan. There's one more colour gimli as well that I haven't seen pop up

Here's my sketches from my case. About what I expected quality wise but with 47 artists I was kinda hoping for no duplication.

I'm really slow at opening boxes and this is the first case I've ever bought. The first 3 boxes yeilded 2 sketchs each. Is this the start of a great case or are the 1 sketch per boxes at the bottom....fingers crossed!

But what were the sketches you pulled?

OK... here are scans of the three sketches I pulled from two boxes:

Sohn


Mitchell


Shum

I really like your Sohn!!!

Thanks! Me too... the scan really doesn't do it justice. Her work on it is so detailed and beautiful.

totally agree

Here's my sketches from my first case. Not really that impressive compared to what others have pulled form their cases.

Here's my sketches from my second case. I think I did a little better this time around.

Has anyone else opened a case of RETAIL Evolution? I would like to know how many costumes people are getting from a sealed case. A friend of mine has started opening a case and only 3 costumes have been pulled from 5 boxes (so far).

Let me know, Pete.

Yeah, funny, your 2nd case , you pulled a card worth/better done then all the sketchs from your first case, put together.

To poke my nose in, he DID pull my 'NOT the BEARD!' Gimli, and I think that's worth all the sketches in the world

Seriously.

You've got a nice variety of sketches from your cases! Congrats!

Title of the breakdown thread was changed as the only breakdowns shown ARE from the Hobby edition (sketches)

Yeah I hear ya. I was not too pleased with case No. 1, out of the 14 sketches I do like the Vecchia-Gollum, Budd-Nazgul, Teranishi-Gollum, Gutierrez-Grima or Denethor? and the Pronovost-Gimli.

Case 2 wasn't looking that great either as my second box contained no sketch cards and my last 2 boxes yielded the Staggs Arwen(?) and the Color Zapata sketch. Much relief with those 2 cards

Not too pleased with the case collation thus far seeing my first case versus Ztaylors awesome Parsons/Kayanan case.
