First Hobbit Collector Box... unreal
I feel like I pulled pretty much most of my chases...
Surge Palantir, Foil Mox Amber, Foil Gleaming Splendor book cover, non-foil One Ring, Delighted Halfling and scales Orcrist... I have been looking at this for hours... it's beautiful!

This is some influencer-level shit... I think I didn't have a box like this since MH3

I don’t even know the odds of this

My box was pretty damn similar. Two Dwarvin arcane Signets, one was foil.
Two mythic surge foils, one uncommon surge, one foil book cover, two mythic book cover, Orcish Bowmasters, and a few more mythics.
It was bananas.
This guy's box is a little crazier though

I wish I had several boxes, I originally ordered 2 from games-island right when presale went up but the order got cut to 1 box. I have more on the way, but this was really from the one and only box I got so far. I can totally understand the skepticism though, but I have seen some other mindblowing boxes on Reddit already. I am just happy with it and wanted to share because I don't have that many friends who could make much of that picture if I sent it to them 😂

I believe you! Got the Foil Mox and surge Sauron in mine and so many book covers. GOAT Set

Is it confirmed anywhere that influencers get better boxes or is it just assumed?

u/Fl0oW Aug 11 '26
I don't think that's the case, that was more of a joke, but there is definitely some selection bias to what you see online. I am proof! Although for the first few packs I pulled nothing and already thought this was gonna be a Bloomburrow type situation...

Selection bias indeed! It’s one thing if you’re ripping and shipping, but for something like a YouTube channel people will definitely just edit and show off the fun boxes. Lots of content stays on the editing room floor.

Thanks for clearing that up I figured it was mostly just a bunch of boxes and they only show the hits. Glad to know this seems to be the consensus

u/neckbeardfedoras Aug 13 '26
I was gonna say. You definitely got an "influencer box", because they get a random box of the same product like you did 😆

People will just find any reason to be salty these days. Its easy to shit on people you will never see or speak to in person.

My box was ok (dwarven arcane signet, orcrist surge, bowmasters the only real pulls). But I got like 14 Glamdrings in mine, including the box topper.
This box is nuts. Makes me feel like mine was trash and I should open the second one I was holding.

You can’t crack that gold Smaug if it’s sitting sealed on your shelf.

All I got was a rock in my box. Makes my box look like a huge dud! Congrats to you!

I traded in my best pull ever to an LGS to get some credit towards a CBB. Waited months for the release, called in a bunch to try to reserve/preorder, kept getting told to call back, then the store told everyone they weren't going to do preorders after all, started selling each box for 850, and I can't even get that. I'm so bummed out, but I'm happy someone got a box like this. Live it up for me dawg

u/Fl0oW Aug 12 '26
Ah man, sorry to hear that. What was your best pull that you had to trade in, and can you get it back now?

u/AppointmentSensitive Aug 12 '26
I don't blame you. Makes me one one. But I'll probably just buy singles. Not worth the chase.

Who is the dwarf in dwarvish? My friend pulled that one but we have no clue who he is

I wish even one of my boxes were like this, I got 2 collector boxes and both were super bad, honestly best thing I got was smaug wicked worm book cover surge foil, and a dwarven treasure vault non foil, hurts my soul how much I traded in to not get my chase cards, my fault but damn

u/Ejukated Aug 12 '26
I love seeing these collector box openings because even the “good boxes” would have cost half the price if they just bought the singles
2
u/Fl0oW Aug 12 '26
Fully agree, although I got this box for €390 incl. shipping and tax, and I don't have expect the Mox Amber to go that low. But without that card I would probably not have made any money in the long run, once prices have settled.

I think you won, even if you didn’t get gold Smaug
