I have 3 cases still to arrive (USPS managed to take two weeks to sort within the NY centre) but today my case arrived from a goofy deal six months ago.
Vision - Hernawan (EL) / Iron Man - Stefano (VL) / The Leader - Banks (EL)
??? - Jackman (EL) / Ghost Rider - ??? / Avengers cover - HDR (EL)
Nomad - Treece (EL) / Iceman - Nonato (L) / Yellow Jacket - Magno (L)
Oracle - Lee (L) / Storm - Allen (EL)
So I get to the last box. Nice break (favourite is the HDR Avengers) but nothing I particularly collect, and then I open the first pack and realise why the pack felt odd, all parallel cards. That's right, I got one of the mini archive boxes
- here are the sketches.
Nomad and Punisher - Sumbing (EL) / Spider Woman - Kusbiantoro (L) / Cyclops - Majado (VL)
Spiderman (black) - Borgonos (VL) / Thing & Spiderman - Fodra (L)
The mini archive box had all the chase sets, which was great because the bronze cards didn't break properly in the rest of the case. I have to congratulate Rittenhouse on the parallel break though, the other 11 boxes in the case delivered a full set of 81.
I like the set. It's probably my last big Marvel buy though. Now that DC sets are being produced regularly, I will probably drop back to 1 case and only for specific releases.
