: ROTK Update odds
: Roz July 06, 2004, 02:13:03 AM

AUTO'S
- Sala Baker 1:427
- Mark Ordesky 1:729
- Peter Jackson 1: 2202

Costumes
- Aragorn 1:663
- Arwen 1:265
- Merry 1:266
- Frodo 1:870
- Witch king 1:24
- Elrond 1:480
- Eowyn 1:438
- Eowyn 1:300
- Sam 1:257

Well that's what I have heard from Timinator  :-\ I think he must be wrong about the witchking or there's be more than one in most boxes :P and he didn't get one in a case!

:)

Great that Arwen is easier than normal to collect!

PJ#s auto is gonna fetch bucketloads but I am not sure how many will be prepared to pay it when his TT ones looks better - after all, it's probably only completists that will want it!

Me wants Frodo  :P not really - I am more after those people that we don't have a momento of from other sets :)

Only the base cards and the binder...not the inserts

Looking at the odds, Im kind of glad I didnt buy any boxes....

There is a Sala Baker card on ebay right now...but no picture!!??? :(

I guess we can track this one to see what the demand is for something like this.

Yeah I have just had a scan through ebay and there STILL are'n't any on there.

Though if I remember rightly Timinator got his ROTK cards well before anyone else too - so we all need to visit him to pick up Trilogy cases next time :)

Here are the corrected odds


AUTO'S
- Sala Baker 1:427
- Mark Ordesky 1:729
- Peter Jackson 1: 2202

COS
- Aragorn 1:663(coronation shirt)
- Arwen 1:265 (coronation dress)
- Merry 1:266 (rohan cloak)
- Frodo 1:870 (grey havens vest)
- Witch king 1:243 (cloak)
- Elrond 1:480 (bronze silk robe)
- Eowyn 1:438 (golden hall party dress)
- Eowyn 1:300 (coronation dress)
- Sam 1:257 (wedding jacket)


At least there's no "Sam"

 ;D

but what will the mass produced cheaper arwen mean for the cost of the other arwens...??

I guess that means Pray for no doubles :(

why would they make the odds so great, wanting people to buy more and more because everything else sold out?

Upsets me but maybe the cards wont be like ROTK and almost worthless  ???

Duno guess I will see wonder what i will get in 2 cases.

Though I do think how TTu was done was a good way, atleast you got 1 costuem and maybe an auto in a box.

Anyone that opens any post if you get 2 inserts in a box wonder if it will happen

Maybe people will see the odds and think wow these cards are really rare like they did when they saw the odds for FOTR Merry etc. But the production numbers for this set are so high that the odds aren't as bad as they seem - though they are bad enough! 1:2202 for PJ! Geez :P Good luck with your cases Jas, though if you don't pull a PJ it looks like you'll have to take your chances with evil ebay :P Hope it doesn;t come to that. I am guessing you're collecting autos and costumes to finish off your trilogy set?


: Re:ROTK Update odds
: Goofyjas July 06, 2004, 10:15:55 PM
Yup I just need those 3 autos 9 costumes and then I am only missing 6 autos ( that I posted looking for :( ) and I am done.

Though I have lost 2 fotr frodos, bilbo, aragorn, galadriel, boromir. in the mail  :'(

: ferdinand_the_yak July 06, 2004, 10:25:08 PM
Ick! I know about your Frodos as you;ve mentioned them before, but all those others too? Were they insured? And what did the sellers (guessing they were from ebay) say - did they seem trustworthy? :-\


: Re:ROTK Update odds
: Roz July 06, 2004, 10:45:07 PM
Oh Jas I didn't know you STILL hadn't had those - did you get your money back from the seller??? They were in the UK GAH!!!

: gimli July 07, 2004, 02:32:51 AM
so I think we should all be off out now to buy 61 boxes each to try and get 1 peter jackson now those are silly odds I do think that people will be willing to pay quite a bit for these especially the completists I am not sure if I will fork out those kind of prices though I hope I get one in my cases but lets not hold out too much hope
 >:(


: Re:ROTK Update odds
: Roz July 07, 2004, 03:27:01 AM
How many cases are you getting Gimmers ?

5? 6?

61 ?? :P



: Re:ROTK Update odds
: gimli July 07, 2004, 04:14:47 AM
6 and that is my limit

i migh have to bite the bullet and buy this one >:(


: Re:ROTK Update odds
: Goofyjas July 07, 2004, 04:34:56 AM
Well i just bought another so i have 3, if i get doubles and need some let me know i will trade with ya.. i may have to buy another case if i get some goodies :(

And yes I lost all those autos, I would have been a card or 2 from finishing, the seller was in the UK King_leezard i believe,, the package was insured, i had a copy of the paperwork, tried to track it down ( lost) he claimed the insurance and kept the money for it also. now I am fighting my CC and letting the postal service in the UK know what happened. He stopped emailing and responding but he would respond to other members within mins, then when I was mentioned they never saw emails again :*(

I would suggest not buying from them but thats me


: Re:ROTK Update odds
: ferdinand_the_yak July 07, 2004, 07:13:54 AM
I know that name, he was selling some autos not long back and had some ridiculous reserves on thm that put me right off, he had to relist severaly times because no-one would bite for his crazy asking prices. Dunno if they ended up selling eventuually. Thats really bad luck on your part - I will definitely steer clear of that seller, thanks for the heads up  :-\

One of the autos they listed was a FOTR Boromir, I was looking at it and thinking of bidding. Does it look like the one he lost of yours?

It does look similar, I will check as I have the scans at home still, if it is I will be upset greatly

Gee Goofy - I would be Royally Ripped if that happenned to me!  As a matter of fact I would get that SOB's GPS coordinates and drop a laser guided bomb on his head!!  No more spreading his gene pool to anyone else!!   ;)

I do hope you get restitution and posted very negative feedback for this Seller.  Good luck!
