Oo, Oo, Oo.... if this item doesnt cross international borders i feel there will be some very angry  customers.. Maybe this Australian resident better get a passport and commence travels to the US to coincide with the Avengers Release... Sketch, will you ship orders to Hotels 

I have my order of 2 cases in, so well and truly looking forward to this set.. but i wanted to onsell some... although can see this is not going to happen.,.. DOH!!!!

Take care

Sure - come on over to my house *lol* We can have an Avengers opening party!!

But I really have no worries - if you saw how much CSI stuff was over here in the States, you'd not worry either *lol*  And you can always get your free Avengers promo card while you're waiting - there's no restriction on that

OK people..Avengers Update...I have now become a 6 case insentive and Stan Lee is going to be randomly incerted!!! WHOO HOO...

ALSO..New cards from yours truely have been posted

Well to be honest I am only going to have one case now no point having 6 or even 2. No offence intended to Cat's work as I will be saving my money to buy the 6 case incentives seperately as well as a stan lee sketch card. Gutted there will be no 2 case incentive.  I think there will be many people gutted who have ordered already 6 cases instead of getting 3 Staggs and a stan lee now only going to get one of Cats pieces of art for 6 cases, not very good IMO. Can you tell I am gutted.  :'(

Rittenhouse always has a 2 case incentive card - guess they just haven't announced the replacement yet.  Another oversize color sketch perhaps???

While it will be much harder to get one of Cat's cards, I'd rather she continue her fabulously detailed work and not have to hurry...

[bush360]

Totally agree it is just a shame that if they are planning a 2 case in centive they could say that they are and details will follow. I personally Cat's work fully warrants the 6 case incentive anyway, as the stan lee cards will more than likely be the same image. I am frustrated mainly because I had been looking forward to getting 3 Staggs Incentives with my cases I had been planning to order now I will have to spend a fair premium and sacrifice sealed cases just to get one of them.

Just a conspiracy therory but Rittenhouse had never announced production figures on this set ie number of boxes. I am just thinking with the interest in this set and with the ever growing list of artists. Have they boosted production hence making it impossible for Cat to keep the quality of her work for a 2 case incentive.

Hi Everyone,

i must say i have to agree with Rich, it is a little disappointing that the Cat sketches has altered... I only say this as i absolutely adore your work Cat and was looking forward to getting 3 of your cards to hold pride and prime place in my collection and i do think that Rittenhouse may have underestimated the demand for these cards and thus has now altered the status of the cards and incentives.

What does upset me a little, is that from a business mind set, we have to put our orders in advance based on information that is released by Rittenhouse and our dealers and with the information provided before it was an extremely beneficial set to buy (even from a personal collection as you could build some great cards for only 6 cases) with the Cat 2 case incentives... Now that it has all altered (and i guess its a chance us collectors take) so dramatically everyones assesment of this set would have changed substantially.

I am still looking forward to the standard insert sketches and my Cat Staggs, although i think i will now buy the Cat rather than investso heavily into 6 cases as the incentive is not really worth it for me now... Hope my dealer does not get too upset?

Hope this makes sense, not having a go at Rittenhouse as i am sure they have a larger plan at hand.. just would like to know what the 2 case incentive is going to be now... Maybe, just maybe and this is only speculation that the 2 case incentive may be a Martineck??

Ah - the new two-case incentive. Personally, I think it's as exciting as the new 6 case incentive. It's innovative, exciting and promises to knock your socks off.


And no, I can't tell you what it is RA's main office is waiting for visual aids so you can see it live and in person (rather than a boring old text description)

[itsme]

Hi SKetch,

i dont mind a text decripto... i have good imagination.. 

Hope i was polite enough in my text you responded to? no offense intended at all as i am sure your team is offering a significant replacement... But Cat would have been NICE>>> 

Cant wait, any ETA?

Julie

[sketchqueen]

I'm usually the last to know anything Remember, I'm the part-time customer service agent *lol* and I only hear bits and pieces from the production team (usually only changes or problems) so y'all will probably know before me

And Julie, you were perfectly polite Others on other forum haven't been nearly as nice

[bush360]

Thanks for the info Sketchqueen 2 cases will probably be the way forward for me definately looking forward to finding out about this mystery 2 case incentive. For me this was going to be set of the year as it ties together my main interests ie Sketches, Comics and cards, so the initial line up was awesome. It is just a shame that things have to change like with X-men I cancelled my order of 6 cases all together after I heard about the withdraw of the costumes and I just feel rittenhouse has done it again by hyping up a set to get big preorders and then letting us down. As I sell most of the cards to keep my hobby going I have to be very selective with my preorders otherwise I lose out bigtime.

[sketchqueen]

First of all - We've not sent out ANY solicitation information on this set. Not one order form, not one sales flyer has gone out, so why do people think the order due date has come and gone is beyond my comprehension.

Secondly, I applaud our production team for announcing the changes this far out - would it have been better to insert redemption cards for costumes into X-Men only to find out we were not able to acquire any? I think that would have been a bigger disappointment then finding out changes far enough in advance to alter your purchase requirements.

But hey - that's me, and what do I know? Not much apparantly.

Amen!  I would have been bitterly disappointed if I'd gotten a redemption card only to find out there weren't any available.

And I love the fact that Rittenhouse is so upfront about what's going to be in sets (even when that information changes) unlike some other companies who only list a few items & cause me to guess at what will REALLY be in it, and sometimes those fall through...

[bush360]

I am only voicing an opinion. I know it is not possible to order this product yet, dont forget I am still totally hyped about this set I ave been trying to order this product since the day I heard it was going to be released. With X-Men I had placed my order on the recommendation of my supplier who went through costumes and everything else so I placed my order then ! I only then later found out about the non inclusion of the costumes and cancelled. Obviously with this one this hasnt been able to happen which is fine I am based in the UK so buy from cards inc who are not ordering at the moment I have no info from US distributors but presumed they were ordering now as the website is taking orders.
I think Rittenhouse are a great Card company we are after all talking about Dealer incentives and I have probably overlooked the fact that the main product boxes are looking stronger than at the start of the release. Sorry if I came over too critical this was not my intention.

I totally agree, I wish the info hadn't been sent out so early (i.e. before it was settled), I was over the moon thinking that a Stan Lee sketch was obtainable... now it's just a pipedream.. ho hum.

[EmpPalpatine]

Guys I can't speak fro anyone else, But I am working as hard as I can to make sure my sketch cards are worth your money!  Hope that helps a little! 

[goldenavenger]

Your efforts will be noticed!! Along with all the other artists. I have seen plenty of samples from this set to say that every artist is giving it their all !!! You know every sketch card is colored, that means a finished piece of art.......not a sketch. So there's no need to commission an artist to do an aftermarket coloring to enhance it..... it's already done!! And this is the first time ever.

Just the words INNOVATIVE and EXCITING that Joanna used to describe the 2-case incentive is killing me to know what it will be. But my purchase is based on the inserted sketch cards and anything else will be an added bonus. And that's just me.

Hey Tim,

i agree, i cant wait to see the innovative 2 case incentive.. thats why i love Rittenhouse (still upset on Cat Staggs though, as i collect sketches) as they are always trying to push the boundaries.

Jo, how long before we know what its going to be? released at the conference this weekend?
