CZE says they're leaving the redemption period open until all badges are claimed.

Why have an expiration date then?

[SerialKilnWalkr]

Interesting...

No reason to put a date on them really.

Should have inserted them into S2 release...

[Kodiak10]

Just because my warranty is up after 1 year and my washer breaks 30 days after the fact, doesn't nessecarily mean that they won't cover the expenses. Cryptozoic we all can agree is well run, and with that being said, there are still boxes out there for sale. Try your luck. Eventually they might do something with the un redeemed, but not for at least another year.

[SerialKilnWalkr]

Case listed on the bay for $1,675

I dunno IMO I see singles from S2 selling very high to begin with....being the product was extremely allocated to begin with and pre-orders selling out very early...I think collectors will go crazy over S2.....especially those collectors in Australia and Europe where they didn't have an opportunity to purchase any boxes unless they got them online from stores or ebay.

Have they announced whether the Madison Lentz (zombie) autograph is an SP ?

I think these autos will be the most common
Lauren Cohen
Laurie Holden
Steven Yeun
Iron E. Singleton
Jeffrey Demunn
Scott Wilson

I'm just curious as to how many Andrew Lincoln signed...100?...200 at most?

11 days away from release and I'm getting super excited!!!

I see S2 being like S1 where you rarely got Reedus and Bernthal in the same case. You usually got one or the other. I could see Lori and Rick being the same way.

Not for her. The official interview:

"You announced that Laurie Holden’s autograph card was received late for Season 1 and will be inserted in this series instead. Is this correct? Also, it was announced this will be a rare insert for Season 2. Is there anything unusual about the scarcity of this card?

Laurie’s Season 1 Autograph card will be a “Rare” insert in the Season 2 packs, that is correct. These cards are “Rare” because there are two versions, so while the chance of getting a Season 1 card is approximately 1:1.5 case, if you are looking for one in particular it will be about 1:3 cases, making it the rarest Autograph card in the set. Those are just rough estimates based on the number of cards and the quantity of cases produced, so don’t try to hold me to it later!"

WoW so in S1 you either got a Bernthal or Reedus in a case...crazy


yea still can't believe I didn't pick them Reedus autos up for $35-$50 range, I figured they were common....same with the Reedus S1 Mcfarlanes I had 2 pre-ordered from the AMC store but then they mentioned all that about the Reedus being rare and the date kept pushing back for a release so I cancelled my pre-order....wish I never did that!

Does Crypto even release SP information? Can't recall them doing so with S1.

I think he meant the S2 version.

I know the official release date is 12/11 but anyone notices BO has it listed for 12/05?

yes, thank you. I forgot about that re-pack of the Season 1 auto since she didn't sign them in time...I just assume the S2 version will be common based on her signing with the X-Files cards and such.

Don't think they updated it since the official announcement came out.

This is in reference to the two S1 versions of her card...the interview has absolutely nothing to do with the S2 version.

Also, don't be suprised if it takes several cases to make an auto set as most of their other recent sets (BBT, Fringe, Smallville) all had autos that were very hard to track down.

Nope they do not and have not for S1 so I don't expect it for S2.

[The Madbacker]

The thing I don't get is that the Season 1 boxed are NOT WORTH $180 each. There is only 1 card that you have a realistic shot at pulling (Reedus Auto) that would get your money back. Everything else is $30-$100 each.

I guess that the pull of a sketch or badge is enough to gamble.

It seems like Series 2 actually might be worth a $180 box price? Seems like there are alot of options.

I agree with Iggy here. Unless you get really really lucky in one case, I'm going to guess you may be short some items even after 2 cases. BUT we'll just have to see the breaks, and how collation is.

Btw, as far as the season 1 boxes are concerned. I could never justify buying at that price, BUT remember you are getting multiple hits and the chance at a redemption, so I can easily see people buying these up.

[Kodiak10]

I think people are taking the gamble. Shoot, I lose 60% every time I open up any football. Not to many left I suppose.

[Kodiak10]

Think of what Season 3 prices are going to be like.

Season 1 was a boring break. 3 inserts, 1 Auto, 2 Wardrobe and 18 packs of base. Season 2 is jammed packed with content. Trying to get the Holden Updates are more than enough to continue opening packs.

Not nearly as high as S2. THIS is the season to have. No other season will touch this one.

Haven't had any sketches posted in a few days, so here's some more of Tim Shay's, that he posted on the Asylum Studios Art Society facebook page:

[icancu202]

Does anyone know when these cards will hit retail? I remember reading that they would be released at Walmart's and Target's. Anyone know how many are scheduled to be released and what the hit ratio of autos/wardrobes may be in comparison to a hobby box?
