GoL was 12 to a case, with 3 rare huges to a case.
I think this new distribution sucks from what I have heard there is no guanatee of a VR or even a Rare huge in a case. Talk about a nightmare to collect.

| I'm just playing the prerelease tourny (if there is one in Houston). I'm not much into SWM, but some of those new ones would make cool DnD rpg minis.

| Depending on what I get in those two cases will likely determine whether or not I buy any more SW minis. I didn't hear about the new VR distribution, I'm allready not a fan of the VR set-up as it is. If this is the new direction they are going with it may be the last set I pick up.

| | You get atleast 1 huge rare a case. A couple people have now reported getting both a R and VR. There was one guy so far who said he didn't get a R huge, but after he went back he had gotten the BARC which is the second R huge. It appears that the VR's are 1 in every other case. With only 2 people so far having gotten multiple cases it really up in the air. | |

| One.... in every other case.......[:(!]
Now is this the distribution they are doing for the Huges? Or are the non-huge VR also every other case?

| Welp I started pulling the little guys outta the box.
I only opened two boxes outtta my two cases so far. Fist box opened and POW! Rancor. This is one impressive looking piece. opened a few of the little plastic bags and zingo a rare. Chewbacca. I only got two Unc so it must have taken it's place. The two unc. were Battle droid (which by the way is massive improvement on paint. This is one cool looking droid, but unc, REALLY???), and Dark Side Marauder. Another really cool looking figure. Finish off with Commons: Gonk Power Droid (Cool Ability), Stormtrooper (NEVER ENOUGH OF THESE, nice pose also), and a nifty looking New Republic Trooper. All told my first pack was GREAT!
My second box netted me: Elite Clone trooper U (Nice color and look, don't like the pose though), Vornskr C (Where is he from?? he's tough though), Guri R (no complaints, interesting concepts that I looking forward to in game play), Yuuzhan Vong Warrior (local Jedi Hoser...might be fun), Dressellian Commando (14 points of interesting abilities. REALLY nice paint though), ASP-7 (Least favorite-o-my figs.) and the Biggie Acklay (Excellent sculpt nd boy does he kick @$$)
All told not a bad haul...
Awards section for my 2 box haul............
Best Sculpt: Dark Side Marauder, I'm a sucker for those Imperials....he was the first one that I was drawn to besides our best figure spot below...
Best for Game play: Chewbacca, man is this guy a Swiss army knife of abilities. there are so many it fills the entire card. for only 30 points. I bet he see's tons of play.
Best Paint: Battle Droid, a deep burgundy (almost black) with great silver highlights makes him the man...er..droid in this spot.
and lastly drum roll please.......
Best Figure: Rancor, which is surprising, I wasn't all-about getting one before I pulled him. But boy is he 5 star coolness for 33 points. How do I know this? Because like a complete tool I immediately pit him against 33 points of other teams (by myself....alone.....making Rancor noises....I need help) and the undisputed champion? Rancor. He's deceptive at only 33 points. Triple attack and regen. makes him allot tougher then his 33 points would let you think. Did I mention he's only 33 points?? [:D]

Sorry to hear [:(] That's the second time I hear that kind of case... And two cases in a row. That's really strange, everyone else has got at least a single huge rare in a case. That's either bad policy from WotC, or a flawed package system.
I think the system might be outta wack this time. In three different boxes (from Outta 6 cases my store got) We had either double rares in the boxes or VR and a R. Anyone else get this? | |

| For me it seems you either get a Rare and 5 Uncommons..
Or a Very Rare, and Rare and 4 Uncommons.
There are reports of 6 uncommons...Oh man Id kill somebody.

Make it three- My first case only had Uncommon huges.[xx(]
Fortunately, my other case was a little better distributed and I did get a rare. And two boxes I pulled off the shelf netted me an AT-ST, Obiwan on Boga and Ackbar (and Pando Baba, but we won't talk about him).
...and I was able to make a sweet trade to net the Rancor.
...and another trade netted me Xizor for Nute & 2 Hailfire
...and I still have 2 more cases coming (at wholesale price)
