This box was a$$. Bad MW foil that I at first didn't even recognize as such and only 5 foils to boot :down: Lots of doubles, but unfortunately not the likes of Dark Approach which is the highlight of the box for me btw. Needed that one to complete my second set. But I guess after getting such a great loot from the boxes before, the box just couldn't be pure awesome as well.

All in all it was WELL worth it! I got some very nice foils as well as many much needed rares. Thanks for the great deal, buddy!

I completely forgot:

One polish MoM pack had a very amusing Uncommon order: Hobbiton Party Field - Bilbo Baggins WSG - Practically Everyone Was Invited. In that order. Just had to laugh. Didn't repeat though.

Yay! ;D

Excited to see a horde of cool fools out of that lot! It Wants to Be Found looks really cool as a foil, have to say. I really do love some of the site foils as well.

Definitely peculiar how similar the boxes were, as far as rare distribution. I did buy those two together if I recall correctly...not sure if you would need to printed in sequence to be similar or if I just randomly happened upon two that were like 100 boxes apart but organized the same way.

In any case, at least the it was good rares ;) Was glad to see some good stuff in the loose packs as well! Upon purchasing I was under the impression that they were from boxes and not sifted through, and it appears they were right. Looks like with Mount Doom there might have been some that came from different boxes with x3 of that Enquea, but still not horrible.

I really thought that the order of those Bilbo-related uncommons was cool :)

In some of the early sets (at least FotR and TTT), rare distribution was not random within a box. Those sets had 121 rares. There were four sets of 30 or 31. A box would contain the 30 or 31 rares from the "set", plus 5 or 6 other rares. Experienced people knew the sets in the boxes. Fortunately, back then it was fairly easy to trade in person and finish sets.

Smaller sets only had 40 rares, so with 36 packs there's bound to be a lot of overlap.
