You might want to see this thread http://nonsportupdate.infopop....4605353/m/9687056226
which notes that CZ will only be making a trading card game.

Way to shatter dreams Iggy. lol

I could only dream of them doing a set for this since Topps never does anything justice with prop / costume cards!

Seriously? I thought they did a really nice job with the LOTR franchise. They scored autographs from nearly every major actor/actress. There were 34 different costume cards.
Were there issues? Yes, without a doubt. Like most manufacturers they weren't shy about milking the product. The consistency of the sketches as well as the seeding of the sketches led to some heated debate.
Overall they did a solid job with a franchise that exploded on the scene and has people begging for a Hobbit set.

Topps did a GREAT job with the LOTR base set and auto's. I think the "Costume Cards" were more Material from the roll that made the costume

It would be nice if the hobbit cards (if made) were in the same style as the LOTR cards.

I would definitely be in favor of CZ doing the Hobbit! They have shown they can be a major player in the non-sports market.

Never dissed their on card autos and lineup which was great as I have every one of them, I just don't like only have one standard 9 card foil set and nothing else so basically you get one hit per box which is crazy when paying $60 to $90 a box.

The update sets had no inserts besides the one material used to create card per box, just not any value there.

Didn't the LOTR boxes all have an auto and costume card? And they weren't $60 to $90 a box back then, they were closer to $40 I believe. If Topps did another LOTR set it would probably contain inserts similar to the Star Wars Galaxy formula.

I believe you're correct. Topps wax used to be a lot cheaper.
