Very nice case. Although the Kayanan is cool I think the Lilly steals the show  |

Nice cards! I can't make out the signature on the card bottom right, but I bet it would look awesome in COLOR.
The bottom right looks to be "Mike D" - Michael Duron. I really like that style... too bad with only 200 out there I can't collect more of them without needing to sell an organ  |

Can we do that? Why did I not think of that myself.  How many of you are still within budget? I mean, did you spend as much as you planned BEFORE the cards came out or did you overspend. I know I sure as #@$# bought more than I expected to do.  |

I know I sure as #@$# bought more than I expected to do. I have seriously overspent on these... Of course my budget for them wasn't big enough to begin with... I think after all is said and done I will have spent 1,5 - 2 K on all of these in cash and trade... I'm scared to add it up and I'm pretty broke for the rest of the year with card sets... |

SW Evolution II is very scary too. I'm a big fan of the first Evolution set and I have all 25 autos but I have no idea how to fund the release in July. I think Topps' timing could not have been worse. And there are also rumours about a LOTR evolution update. (is this true or just rumours?) I think there will be 4 sketches per box because nobody can afford the boxes/cases for this edition.

"How many of you are still within budget?" I am, I most proudly say. In fact, I'd go so far as to say I still have a little change leftover. See, I've been *very* good this time around - I've not gone eBay crazy although it took some serious fiduciary responsibility to my family for me to avoid the Bay. Tempered by the fact that I don't love every sketch I've seen and some that I do love are on the cheaper side, it's been good so far Now .. about that update set? Who's got the scoop on that!?!? Spill the beans please... |

Well since I haven't heard a peep, I'm guessing that A) it's a secret at the moment & no one can say anything, B) it's a rumor, or C) it's a plot to get me VERY deep in debt... |

When I went searching for a box or two to open for something called OPEN THAT BOX DAY which was Saturday the 8th (Non Spots Cards Update)...the dealer I dealt with (who sold me a few boxes at the stunning price of $40 a box!) told me HIS DISTRIBUTOR wanted to know if he wanted to order cases for the UPDATE...so I think there's definately going to be an UPDATE set... ...he said the distributor wasn't sure if more sketch cards or even a few Costume cards might be included...maybe the long lost GIMLI... ...as for my budget... :'(  ... I am seriously OUT OF CONTROL OCD!!! ...but...every year, on my relatively low salary I put aside some $$$ for Art...photography, drawings, etchings by some contemporary artists here and there...well, once I found out that SKETCH CARDS were being included in the EVOLUTION set, I figured the $$$ going for Art, would still go for Art...the LOTR Sketch Cards!... ...I have added up the case + the boxes + the Ebay disease and...whew! But...it's only money...would you rather have the money, or feed this burning visual desire... I'll take the passion! "Follow your bliss."...Joseph Campbell Gotta go check out  |

Wow Jackie two Kayanans in how many boxes? 6 or 7, just shows that quantity doesn't always make a difference. I think I like the Monte the most though. It sounds weird to say, but not my favorite of kayanans, but that probably has more to do with the character than anything else.

I actually bought 9 boxes from 3 different sellers. My boy's eyes were popping when we pulled the Kayanan!! And I really like the Hodgkins!!  |

Zach, I wish I had half your luck! I love the Gandalf/Balrog Kayanan, but I think my favourite is the Eowyn (Dan Parsons?). Congrats! |

Gandalf/Balrog? Isn't it the Nazgul at the Prancing Pony? I've seen the Gandalf Balrog one and it's a lot more... Gandalfy, and Balroggy and Orangey |

I think it is a nazgul at the prancing pony stabbing the beds. At first I couldn't figure it out, but while I was scanning it I noticed the feathers and it hit me, as my mind was freaking out trying to figure out what a nazgul stabbed in the movie like that.

Oooops - my bad I've not had my cup of tea this morning (had to settle for coffee and a giant muffin instead). I couldn't remember anything else being stabbed like that except the Balrog - maybe they were falling through a darker part of the abyss and the Balrog has his searchlights turned off? Sorry  You are of course right Roz |
