Unfortunately it didnt turn out quite as exciting as I hoped... I pulled an Eomer auto, which I love, its just that I already have one.

If anyone is interested in buying one, pm me an offer, otherwise ill pop it up on  Ebay!

I was just about to ask, do you need any TT foils? I have numbers 1-6 and I already have a full set...

I cannot recall if there were Retail and Hobby Boxes for The Two Towers.  Can someone help me out here?  Where did the Merry and Legolas Auto cards come from it there were 2 types of boxes?  Thanks.

There were both retail and hobby boxes, but they all had the same autos(incl Merry and Leggy), they were just harder to get in the retail boxes (not sure of the exact odds...)

Well I've been feeling very ill this week, and hit rock bottom today, so in my pain I vowed when Mark got home I'd open a box of cards. The only problem was WHAT? ROTK? ROTKU? PoA? Trilogy?

I went for ROTKU - willing there to be a PJ auto in there - I wasn't fussy - a TTT one would do but it would be a miracle Wink

Anyway I DID get an auto!

But alas not PJ, but instead Sala Baker.

Actually I am pretty happy. This past half hour I have relived the ROTK, the stunning imagery, oohed and ahhed over what has to be one of the best films of all time, it is a beautiful base set Smiley And even got an auto out of it, soo all in all great stuff Smiley

Well, I finally busted open the ROTK box that has been sitting at the back of my wardrobe for almost three years...

I pulled...... a black signed Theoden!

Unfortunately, I got a Theoden out of the ROTK box I got when the set came out....but hey, at least they are different.

Depending on how I feel, it may be available for sale at some point...

I pulled one of his black signed auto cards as well way back when!   Smiley   It was the first black signed auto card I had seen and I was a bit disturbed thinking something was wrong.   It was not too long after that I started to see a few auctions on ebay with Theoden's auto card signed in black and the explanation making them a bit rarer than the regular blue signed ones.  I think Christopher Lee signed some in black if I am not mistaken.

In my never-ending quest to be the proud owner of a Leggy auto, I bought another TT box last week....and would you belive....another Theoden!

So I gave up on the boxes, and just bought this little beauty:



Im absolutely over the moon!!!  Grin Ive been waiting for this for about 5 years, and the price was pretty darn good.
