Still waiting on my two boxes, hopefully I have the same luck as you,


I didn't go through a dealer that breaks boxes. I believe that's what you're implying that some dealer do....break boxes from a case until they find a sketch and then move on.

Good luck with your boxes.

My box yielded Emma Bell as Amy(Non-screaming version) and two walker costume cards - M14 & M15. Kind of underwhelmed by my double-walker pulls...

I'm not impressed by the walker costume cards either, besides the Greg Nicotero one, the choices seemed kind of flat IMHO.

opened 2 boxes tonight finally! Sadly, they weren't the greatest of samplings for the set.

Box 1: 23 packs (yes really 1 short). 1 costume card (walker)

Box 2: 24 packs- 1 auto (Lennie A12) & 1 costume card (shane)

On the bad collation front, only 1 base set made between the 2 boxes. Missing more than 12 cards for a 2nd set. More than 9 cards were badly miscut as well.

Pure stupid luck, all the chase cards doubled up between the 2 boxes lol

The cards look nice! I've sent an email to the info/customer service address on Crypto's website. Hopefully I hear something back and they can help me out.

That's strange. The first box is missing 1 costume card and the one pack that should have contained the autograph card. The second box is also missing 1 costume card. Bad luck, but customer service should help out.

I wonder if this means that other boxes might have more hits than they should. Doesn't really matter, I bought 2 boxes and was not excited by my pulls:
A6 Yeun
A16 Singleton
M3, M10, M11 and M12

All and all, would have liked a better ratio on the sketches. Frown

Jake, did you hear back from Cryptozoic?

Opened two boxes.
Box #1
W02, W03, W06, W09
C06, C08
A9- Emma Bell as Amy (scream version)
M5- Shane (cool button hole/ pocket)
M11- Daryl

BOX#2
W02, W03, W06, W07
C09
A1- Jon Bernthal as Shane (uniform version)
M12- Military Walker
M17- Walker

Bummed at getting two walker costumes in one box. Happy with autos and button hole variant costume. Missing one behind the scenes cards, as it seems you are suppose to get two per box. But happy all round with the set. Base set is nice too but needed more of some characters we lost in season 1.

I did hear back from Cryptozoic. They were very nice in their response and said they would send my the missing cards Smile They requested that I send them the box lids (where the stamps are on the inside) and the miscut cards. Which I of course did right away.

When the new cards have arrived I'll post a little update Smile I'm WAY behind in my scanning so you'll see scans of my recent additions all over the forum soon hopefully lol

I got a box of this. I have mixed feelings about my pulls:

No full base set (missing #3 & 18)
Emma Bell Auto (screaming version)
Andrea Costume (with seam)
W01, W02(x2), W07
C02, C09

I liked my auto and costume pulls, but kind of bummed I only got one costume, no full base set, and a duplicate foil card from the same box. Overall, I liked this release and may buy another box, but I am really hoping that my three Vampire Diaries boxes don't have the same flaws!

Thats really good to hear that they do replace the missing ones.

Shame that people have got missing ones though.

LCS opened a few packs for showing off and they hit a costume so I snagged a few packs to take a shot at a sketch or the Reedus auto. 5th pack had this-

Opened one box, results:
W02, W03, W07
C01, C02, C09
costumes M1 (Rick) and M5 (Shane)
auto A11 Morgan

Not an auto I particularly wanted, but very happy to get costumes from both Rick and Shane. My one major complaint with this release is that I did not even come close to getting a full base set -- I am missing something like 20 cards out of 81. Anyone else have this problem?

Hi,

Not getting a base set is not normal. Please e-mail info@cryptozoic.com and they will take care of you. Smile

Thanks!
