I got my box today and cracked it open right away. I actually managed to pull 2 complete base sets, along with PW3 (Buffy's pants from "Buffy vs Dracula") and PW12 (Molly's pajama bottoms from "Showtime). I really like how this set turned out. The pictures for the cards are really nice, and I like the organization of everything (the cards are distributed by character).
I only have two gripes - that there are no autographed cards (we knew this long ago, but it really hits you when you're opening the packs) and that Riley seems to be MIA completely. I didn't really like him, but you can't ignore his part in the show. Faith also got a little glossed over, getting one of Buffy's cards -- I thought she should have been one of Xander's too.
Anyone else get their cards yet, and if so, have any thoughts?

My case should be arriving at weekend, so I'm quite excited I'm glad it's a good set, the images I've seen look very cool!

Sorry but what are you talking about?
I never really stray that far out of the customs section so Im a little behind the buffy merc' news.
Are they like boxsets with props in or something?
Do you have any pictures?

I'm starting to feel more and more lucky that I pulled PW3... I've seen very few of them on eBay, and you opened an entire case and didn't pull it. I wonder what the official breakdown is on the number produced for each PW card.

That one does seem to be pretty rare, but I know a few people that have pulled it. I'd rather have the PR1 + inkplates than the PW3 though!

My friend and I picked up our box tonight - I know we have almost two full sets plus extras - We got the Anya "Into the Woods" dual piecework and Buffy's jacket from B vs. D! I love this set! I'm really happy with the picture selection, because Seasons 1-3 of Buffy were my favorites.

Wow, that's one great haul! How much does a case cost on average?
I've only just got into card collecting, and so am curious. Also, where did you order the case from?

I ordered it from a friend of mine that's a dealer. And it was £400.
lol Kim, it was like Christmas! My room was a mess of wrappers by the time I was done! ;D
