Oh you have some nice ones there...the two from Paul "Gutz" Gutierrez are very nice..the one from Tom is AWESOME. It was one of my favorites of his...the Teranishi of Grima is very nice the Mandrake Fordo is real nice too...I think you did fine...I wouldn't be crying.

I think you did fine...I wouldn't be crying. Ah, but when you want a photo realistic sketch (and preferably a main character) it's disappointing. I'm saying that to gear myself up for my case which arrives tomorrow. While I'm sure I'll like the majority of what I pull the odds of getting what I REALLY WANT out of the case are very low. |

Odds for LOTR retail (from the pack) Frodo´s Travel Cloak 1: 72 Pippin´s Travel Cloak 1:106 Merry´s Travel Cloak 1:184 Galadriel´s Grey Havens Cloak 1:184 Gandalf´s Shirt 1:232 Arwen´s Nightgown 1:232 Gandalf´s Cloak 1:347 No mention of Gimli/Eowyn on the packet  Why does this not surprise me. We had no Official list from Topps, just one that was rumoured to be the checklist. So it releases differently than than the unofficial list. Thanks Topps  Ed |

It's very annoying - ANOTHER rare Arwen and no Gimli - VERY DISSAPPOINTING. Cat/Neko - it's really great to hear that the artists are enthused enough to buy product (rather than wait for their boxes from Topps  ) - and I'm glad he did so well |

MAN!
After seeing a couple different case breakdowns I decided to buy a case for myself and of course, there are none on Ebay now. Just last night a guy here in FL had some on and I waited until I saw more of what was in the cases.....anyone know where I can pick one up at a reasonable price?

LOL - the half-amusing thing is that dealers weren't supposed to put cases up for sale until today... and it looks like a LOT of dealers are sold out before the sale date  The scramble since the announcement on Monday that it was a sketch every 14 packs has been mad... tens of cases sold on Monday - Tom has a few individual boxes up on ebay HEREThere are some auctions for boxes HERE but there's no cases on ebay ATM... anyone got any leads? Have a look at Evolution set A (20 cards)  and Evolution set B (12 cards)  |

I'd be afraid to buy just one or two boxes. It looks like you need a case to have any chance at getting some of the better sketches. I really love the one Joanna has of Frodo reaching for the ring.  |

It makes me angry when I see that, especially considering the work he is capable of doing. I know there was a big to-do about the sketches that turned out to be a joke, but the artwork was much better than what we've seen of his other sketches for card sets. |

So how many of the costume cards are there? Also, are they going to be in just the Hobby packs, or both hobby & retail?  |

Costume cards are retail only PS. Rats! I only saw those 2 boxes Tom had just now otherwise I would have snapped them up before you could say 'colour Legolas sketch'  I do hope Tom has a few more to list |
