LOST: Revelations information announced

Hi

Just read the breakdown and am pretty disapointed I have just downgraded my order from the 6 cases to just the 2 which I think should be plenty plus I will get our Incentive card.
Also what is with the dual standards from inkworks with the US getting the Jack and kate and everywhere else getting Sawyer and Kate. If anything us Europeans pay more for our cards and cases and we should be rewarded for our loyalty not given the 2nd best incentive  . Rant Over.

Sawyer is a better seller in the US than Jack was. So, I guess it's a matter of opinion as to which is second best.

The way Lost plays out on TV, I'm convinced that there is no such thing as a ropey auto in this set. The person you saw in episode 1 as a distant blur will, at some point be a large integral plotline 

Just as an aside, I propose that anyone that says dealer incentives are a good thing should be made to do handstands in a sewer 

[tialessa]

Someone (dunno who) assumed the case incentives were 1 for every 2 cases.  According to Andy at Inkworks, that's incorrect.  It's one case incentive per every 3 cases.

You know what really stinks?
I am a costume collector. I have a complete costume and auto piecework set. No additional autographs or anything like that.

A) There is no Auto Piecework for this set, if you are getting an important cast member to sign...why can't she sign a couple piecework cards...I know there are no Sun pieceworks in this set...but hell I would take a Sun auto piecework from the first set.

B) The incentives are nothing more than pieceworks 1-3 combined onto a card. I was going to get the case incentives but then I noticed they were nothing more than combined piecework cards or pieceworks 1&2 and then 2&3.

It seems that the incentives are being re-organised. They won't be for the US and Europe any more, they're announcing the details of the change later today *shrugs*

I will be keeping my eyes peeled I had already reorganised my oreder to 3 cases so I get one, will be a bit annoyed if it changes to much.

[bush360]

Just read the Inkworks website looks like no incentives as the cards will be inserted into packs, it is refreshing that it seems they have listened to their collectors comments on incentive cards. I think I will still be keeping my 3 cases on order though anyways.

Where did you read that they'd be in the packs? I was just on Inkworks' site and it says this :
Retailers - please note that the distribution plan for these cards has been changed.  Both cards will be available worldwide.  Details will be emailed to Inkworks customers on Friday, July 7th.


That reads to me like there won't be a different card for US versus UK, not that they're going to be pack-inserted. Or am I totally confused?

[bush360]

I am probably wrong it was just how I read the information actually looking at it again now it looks different than when I posted earlier as I cant remember there being a specific reference to 3 cases needing to be ordered. Also it now says the cards will not be pack inserted. It definately did not sa that when I read it earlier or else I would not have suggested it. Confused need sleep now

In some more solid news - check out the promo pack for this year -  I guess I'll have to ebay it to find this baby - hopefully not next year

And looking ahead ...

I need that Season 2 card AND the Supernatural promo - Here's hoping some kind soul picks up extras - although, they are available for sale on Inkworks' website for $17 apiece payable by credit card

[Roz]

Ooh - I'm sure it's been up ages and I just haven't noticed - but they've posted auto images

Hey thanks Roz I have totally forgot about this sets autos. Now I can see the faces to the characters it is a pretty good set I was wondering who mr friendly was that is a damn good auto. Not to mention Ekos brother and charlies bro both pretty important characters when you consider how they affect the main characters still not to keen on the scott auto although due to his minimal screen time yet constant references he may have some relevance later on.

[Roz]

Do you know what Rich? I thought just the same

Also, it's been so long now since the autos were announced I'd forgotten about a lot of them I was pleased to see Mr Eko's Brother, Walts Mum and I was also interested to see that Scott/Dustin has numbered his cards as he's signed them.

When we start breaking we'll get some idea how rare Sun is in comparison to Scott/Dustin's 500 cards

[Bogleg]

As there is only 6 days left in August, has a released date hoved into view yet? 

[Roz]

Ha ha... just 6 days? Really well there was talk of it being in Britain for the end of the month...but I wonder if that was another pipedream

They did so well with LOST season One maybe we should expect disaster this time

[bush360]

I hope we dont have any more delayed sets it seems everyset gets delayed it must be the inthing with card companies. LOL
I think it is likely us UK peeps will be looking early september I have emailed cards inc today though just to see if they know more.

Bad luck Rich/ good luck depending on how you look at it, but I think it's a shame, LOST Revelations looks GREAT

The first pulled cards are appearing on eBay - though there's been pre-sells for ages
