GOT the Complete Series

[Muzza]

Thinking about a few more Season 8 boxes while they're still available and came across this.

I think I'll still get a couple more S8's but this looks pretty tempting.

 

[AusRam]

Yeah, I'm looking forward to it also. Just hope we get some new or return big name signers.

Agree on getting more S8 too, but it seems to be drying up a bit...

Can you guys help out a newbie... How many boxes of the GOT Complete like the one listed above would you usually need to buy to get a full base set of 73 series cards + 100 character cards? Looks like 95 cards per box, so would 2 be likely or 3 or more? I also found this box breakdown of chase cards if it's of help: https://www.cardboardconnection.com/rittenhouse-game-of-thrones-complete-series-trading-cards

Looks like this one is going to be very popular...presales are already selling out...Blowout don't have anything for pre-order now and D&A are out of cases, only boxes, so they must be getting tight now too. I've ordered some boxes and I'm in some breaks, so here's hoping !

@Gryfter Not sure how this release will stack up as it's a new config, but I don't think you were guaranteed a set from a box in past GoT releases, think it took 2 boxes usually..

 

[Gryfter]

Awesome. Thank you. May try and track down a couple of boxes. Do you know of any Australian suppliers? I've looked online and can't seem to see any stockists in oz. Shipping from the US is almost the same cost as a box atm.

 

[AusRam]

Don't think you'll find any here in Oz... But you're right, shipping from the US is a killer these days and it seems to be getting worse. It's getting to the point that unless you order a bunch of boxes to spread the cost, you can't justify the shipping...but more boxes means higher shipping...it's a vicious circle! You have to find the sweetspot!

 

[AusRam]

Mightn't be the final version, but the checklist is up. A bit disappointing... not many big names.....

Archive boxes aren't quite what they used to be!

 

[AusRam]

No, so many exclusions. You'd think they could at least add in a random handful selection of a few better inscriptions and duals to an archive box as there's stuff all value there...

Anyway, still looking forward to breaking my boxes when they come.

 

[Gryfter]

I was in a box break for S8 last night. Someone pulled a Tyrion relic card and I pulled a sig of Dan Hildebrand as Kaznys Mo Laknoz. The other sig in the box was a Burn Gorman as Karl Tanner. Looking forward to the new boxes which should be here in the next few weeks.

 

[AusRam]

Grrr! Been pushed back to the 16th now...

 

[Gryfter]

3 days. Could be worse.

 

[Gryfter]

Got a shipping notice from D&A today so they are on their way!

 

[AusRam]

Yep, got my shipping notice too!

 

[AusRam]

That wasn't bad, my boxes arrived today...seems UPS is handing off to StarTrack these days for the local delivery.

Will be opening 2 boxes after work...the other 2 will be saved for my Christmas break!

 

[Gryfter]

Nice. My tracking has them in Melbourne so they are definitely close.

 

[AusRam]

Broke a couple of mine, not great, but decent. - https://www.ozcardtrader.com.au/threads/the-complete-game-of-thrones-2-boxes.230930/
