It really was. was fortunant to pull a Gadot and Cavill auto from my cases. But there were a few stinker cases in there for sure.

So for you guys that are busting, what are you chasing specifically? Sketches, autos, master set, etc.?

It has to be auto or bust for this set. Sketches are pretty niche, and I can't see people chasing the numbered parallels the way they did for SW Sapphire

daviswr7 · 10-18-2022, 03:21 PM

Sketches and autos for me and of course will put together a full set.

Ally will be opening 8 cases tomorrow. We normally try to do a decent amount of CZX product.

Cujobyte · 10-18-2022, 04:47 PM

Wow I'm allocated my 3x cases and am in shock!

Are all the spots filled? Unless they are personal breaks.

EDIT: NVM. Just got the details from Ally.

Sorry for the delay. This is our break for the shop.

Does anyone know when the boxes go on sale on crypto’s website and what they usually charge? Hoping to snag a few…have opened quite a bit of every other LOTR and hobbit product, but just want a few of this one.

That competitor in Buffalo listing boxes on Ebay for $1200.

Is it just a game now to see how badly you can fleece collectors?

I saw that as well but when you actually click on the listing the price is showing $550.

Currently watching Ally open this and it seems that cases have the same character for all 6 sketches but by different artists. That is really odd.

Carrbeaz · 10-19-2022, 11:29 AM

Looking like cases are sketch character themed.

Brobocop · 10-19-2022, 11:54 AM

Now there seems to be an artist themed case.

EclipsEtoEvolve · 10-19-2022, 01:16 PM

One case with mainly Grishnakh sketches, different artists, another the same but Samwise sketches. Is this intentional from Crypto?

Archangel1775 · 10-19-2022, 01:50 PM

Pretty cool watching the live break of this. This needs to be more common on release dates. Apparently Cryptozoic joined to watch as well.

Cujobyte · 10-19-2022, 03:31 PM

These cases are really great IMO, especially considering what the older LOTR autos go for these days.

Also, am getting my 6x cases (not 3x). Forgot these are 6x box cases and not 12x lol.

Carrbeaz · 10-19-2022, 04:12 PM

Well we just hit HUGE..

I got a chuckle, too. I’m having more fun watching asking prices than I am buying anything. I can absolutely wait for the market to be more reasonable.

That’s not to say I don’t understand people trying to recoup their costs. I would also be trying to maximize my return.
