We will see soon. T & F consider who the lucky people are who are pulling the extra inserts...ztaylor is always money for good pulls. Now if I get my case and have a good one something is really great about the US cases.
I rarely have good pulls and usually end up short. I think Roz and I tend to be pretty unlucky it seems :'( - so I am assuming I will also get a case with no auto's in it just like Roz.
Consider this I bought a case of LOTR TTU for $300. I pulled 2 sam costumes, 1 - Faramir costume and a Gandalf costume. I could have picked those 4 up of ebay for about $50 total. That is pretty much my luck, and also see my 12 auto 5 costume case break on LOTR chrome (4 auto's short and 3 costumes short).
In other words if I get some good cards then there must be better US cases.
Of course it is possible that US cases were packed out last and have a couple more inserts. Be patient young Jedi, only a few more case breaks will tell.

If this is the case and i hope that Artbox are listening to this
I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER ONE OF THEIR PRODUCTS
It might just be that people have been very lucky with the first few US cases and it will go back to what we got as insert rates but if there is a big difference like that. Then I will sell all my Potter and leave it with that very annoying and unfair the message that would send is that my money is worth less than US money and we have to pay a lot more in the first place in the UK for cards.
Sorry rant over i will hold judgement for a while but if this is true then I will be emailing art box with some stern word.

Of course it could be - remember how you did in your first 3 cases! |

hmmmmm i have read card talk and I can't think for the life of me what you might mean but it is good to know that there does seem to be good cases with equal amounts of good inserts both sides of the pond the problem is that when you start to have the situation where a product is packed differently to go to different parts of the world doubt will set in as to the fairness of packing The one thing i must ask is what was the advert card in the US packs was it the cards inc items or something different |

What made me think to ask was the advert is in sterling and is no good to US collectors. |

Well I've got 3 cases coming probably Friday ....
I'll try to get my case breaks out ....
Will probably decide from Case # 1 whether I continue to crack or sell the boxes/cases unopened....
Interesting that my distributor said that Artbox told him that the US shipments were 1 week late since they wanted ZERO redemptions for auto's ---
guess we'll see if this is true or not .....
