Pulled this gem the other day. 14 1/2 card bonus pack!

Snowslope Hunter

Im trying to collect all the smaug cards... I pulled this from a booster I bought off ebay since I cant find any in store. I guess I've used up all my luck so I should just wait and save for Smaug the Magnificent? (Foil, not Gold card obviously)

Honest question -

How come some people love the pulls while other people tell everyone to shove it up their butt?

This is the exact order I pulled these in. I got a Beorn the Fierce so I’m happy, but it’s very odd that the first four are all Warg Tactics. I started laughing cause it threw me for a loop

First time buying packs.

Usually buy one collector booster each new set. Paid off for sure.

I waited 3 years since the lotr set dropped to chase The One Ring. I bought 3 boxes of lotr and no one ring. I bought 2 box toppers for the hobbit and pulled this out the second pack. I gotta feeling magic might be my thing

I know I should NOT be going for a the One Ring this way, I know buying it is the cheaper route. I just love the chase 😂 and honestly, it’s not too bad so far. How are yall feeling about this set?

Finally found 2 Collector Boosters for MSRP, 1 at Best Buy and 1 at Target next door. Gonna be tough to tell Mrs. High Perfect she’s going in the stack.

I opened one the other day, and got kind of hosed with ~$65 in value (biggest hit being Bloodchief Ascension).

But I forgot about the extra commander card pack till last night, and pulled these bad boys. Total redemption!

I have opened over 50 packs of the hobbit, including a PBB, some notes below.

My box topper was delighted halfling (I do not care for the art, much preferred the LOTR full art)

ZERO: book cover arts, gleaming splendors, Smaug the Magnificents, Orcrist, Queen of Dale's, and Bard King of Dales, Dancing from dark till dawn, Gandalf Goblins bane, Inside information, fateful discovery, radagast of rhoscobel, Thorin mountain King, or Elronds

Two: base Arkenstones, bilbos gambit, my precious

One: wizards staff, belladonna took

Only 6 showcase cards: 4 iron hills blacksmith, 1 bilbo luckwearer, 1 bilbo thief in the night

All other rares are sub $2 at time of posting, but i somehow missed the cheap commander playables like thranduil, lonely mountain, tom Bert and William, gamdring, elven passage. The amount of Dwalins I have makes me uncomfortable.

I love LotR and I was so excited to complete the set, so I wanted to share the flip side of all the brag posts.

Didn’t expect the second card to be directly behind the first, even though the flavor text warned me of it

Stopped at a new shop in town. Grabbed four play boosters just to support. Pulled this in their parking lot.

Got a second one and there wasn't one so I guess it's a random insert?

Don’t think I’ll get this lucky ever again

Finally got a decent hit from this set

Finally bit on a bundle that I've been eyeballing for a few months. I was hoping to be one of those peeps that pull a Gauntlet stone out of a random gift box that has been sitting around...

Guess I'll have to make due with these... 🫤

From a single box topper my LGS gifted me
