You should have gotten 2 costumes in each box.

It doesn't appear anyone else had the same problem I did. out of my two cases. I had three dud boxes with no costume, autograph or Shadowbox. I thought I would have had made up for it in the other boxes but ended up being shorted. Was kind of disappointed.

This is my first ever box purchase. Normally I just buy items off of eBay to piece my set together, but with the prices dealers were/are asking I figured I couldn't pass up 2 boxes from Cryptozoic for retail (at the last minute sale the other day).

I figured if I got some of the wardrobes and "decent" autographs it would be cheaper in the long run. I was a little worried about what I would get, but I figured what the heck, experience counts also right?

Here is Box #1:



Not only did it have 1 extra Wardrobe...but it also had a dual Wardrobe. I never figured I would have one of them for the collection!

and here is Box #2:



I was pleased with the autograph as I believe he will command a higher amount on eBay (like last season). But as you can tell what really sets this box apart is the Glenn sketch by Shane McCormack! I figured I would never have a sketch from season 2 to complete the master set as I was guessing they would go for hundreds of dollars.

Even though I pulled my sketch in the first box, I ended up cracking 1 full case...other case will eventually be flipped (no, I am not offering it up for sale on the board). Here are the results (not in sequential order):

Box 1
M10 Maggie's Green Tank
M28
Sketch by Hayden Davis
A5 Norman Reedus as Daryl Dixon

Box 2
M6 Glen's Brown Shirt
M28
DM03 Lori & Shane Dual (only dual of the case)

Box 3
M21 Carol's Grey Pants
M31 (Teal with what looks to be blood splatter)
A13 Laurie Holden as Andrea

Box 4
M8 Dale's White Tank
M30 (with a little blood)
A7 Madison Lintz as Sophia

Box 5
M25 T-dog's Red Dirt Shirt
M30 (again with a little blood)

Box 8
M1 Rick's Sherrif Uniform White Tee

A10 Scott Wilson as Hershel Greene

Box 9
M5 Andrea's "Blue" Hoodie
M18 Carl's Striped Hoodie
M29
A9 Lauren Cohan as Maggie Green

Box 10
M24 Dale's Cream Hawaiian Shirt
M32 Blue plaid with a bit of dirt/blood
A6 melissa Suzanne McBride as Carol

Box 11

M31 teal with splatter
A2 Jon Bernthal as Shane Walsh

Box 12

Although I did not get a redemption, any of the crazy 5-6 hit boxes, or even one of the top artist sketches, I certainly can not complain on the autograph assortment.

Yes...the shadowbox card is an insert...not sure on the ratio but I believe 1-2 per box.

Oh yeah, I also got this color test card in one of my boxes...checklist shown for comparison.

If you are selling it I will take it.

OK, so I could not help myself and busted case #2.

Hello, my name is Iggy and I am a crack addict...

Highlights were the threee autos that I needed to finish a S2 set, plus Season 1 A4 (again), as well as autos of Shane, Daryl, Lori, Carol, Maggie, Hershal and of course T-Dog and Glenn also another bunch of relics that I already mixed with the others so not quite sure what is new aside from another M8.

Here is the sketch

Got 1 box:

Costumes:
M11- Shane's Blue Shirt
M16- Rick's Dark Green Shirt
M32- Walker Horde

Auto:
A7- Madison Litz

4 chase:
CB04- Carl
CB08- Dale

Other 2 are puzzle ones.

Also got myself a shadowbox card SB03 which was good!

So, happy with my 3 costume cards from 1 box!

Yes thanks. I forgot to include it in on box 6.

Sketch: Shane McCormack

I like to exchange with another one so I forget about it lol

I haven't busted any boxes in years... I picked up 5 Walking Dead season 2 boxes (2 from the Cryptozoic website and 3 from another source). I easily got my money's worth out of each box as I got them all at MSRP or less. Here's the break from my 2 Cryptozoic boxes:



Here's my first of three boxes from another source:



My 2nd box:


Andrew Lincoln auto!

My 3rd box:


I was satisfied with the breaks as I'd got Andrew Lincoln in the last box and this box was going poorly. I pulled the Hoffman sketch in the 3rd to last pack!

Nice sketches everyone. Can't wait to get my boxes.

My two boxes from Cryptozoic:

Box #1


Box #2


Pretty stoked with the Lincoln auto and extra costumes in both boxes- definitely a pleasant surprise!

riddler_149 I can't believe you got 2 dual costumes from 2 boxes, plus the Andrew Lincoln auto! They are awesome pulls. Now if only I can get as lucky when I open my boxes next week.
