Magic: The Gathering The Lord of The Rings: Tales of Middle-Earth Special Edition Collector Booster Box - 12 Packs (Collectible Fantasy Card Game), Multicolor

I got 13 mythic cards, so I can understand giving a bad review if a box only yields 4. MTG needs to make our expensive purchase feel worthwhile. The cards look amazing and the poster varieties are a cool flashback to the 60's. I love looking through the cards and appreciating the incredible art. Even the common and uncommon cards look great! BUT, I am not happy about the current price for MTG boxes. I only bought this box because of the Lord of the Rings tie in and it was cheaper than the original LoTR collector booster boxes. This will be most likely be my last MTG purchase. It's just to expensive for somebody like me that buys the cards as a collectible. Plus, almost every release starts with VERY high prices that steadily drop over the next year. If anything, be patient and wait for the price to drop to a reasonable level.

I ordered 2x of these boxes, and both came re-sealed! My first clue should have been the shrink-wrap: it did not have the "Wizards of the Coast" logo stamps. Every single pack inside both boxes was sliced open at the bottom, and included only cheap common and uncommon cards - none of the Rares and Mythics that these packs are advertised to include! Many of the packs included cards from other Magic series - they weren't even Lord of the Rings cards! I wish I had looked at some of the more recent reviews: it looks like this is happening to everyone in the last 2 months!!! Needless to say, I'm returning this junk and will be buying my cards elsewhere in the future.

My box delivered pretty quickly and fully sealed. I agree that it’s not fair to give a poor review for what you pull out of these boxes. I got a bunch of cards that I’m stoked on as an avid LOTR fan, but nothing of significant value per se. My partner on the other hand also bought a box and pulled some incredibly valuable cards. My review is still 5 stars because the product is in perfect condition, and it’s been a while since I’ve felt excitement like I did while opening these packs.I paid $320 (that includes tax) and the estimated value of cards I got totals to about $375. I’m not in this to make a buck, to me collector booster boxes are about pulling cool cards to play and add to my growing collection. I’m probably going to cave and buy another box 😅

3rd box so far all arrived damage free all packs were sealed had some great pulls averaging 3 to 4 poster cards per box love the art work been enjoying the Hildebrand art work all my life. If you enjoy magic the gathering some great cards or if you are in it for the art and joy of collecting I believe this is a great set been an absolute joy to open.

Essentially, there aren't any new cards so it's so not worth it. If you're trying to make the decision between the two, I'd stick with the first. But only slightly. Some of the cards are exactly the same. The ones in this set have a foiling that looks like it has a texture to it. They're dark and the border is the only thing that makes them interesting. I'm not sure much of the art has changed outside of how it is presented.Based on how this was marketed, I expected it to have additional cards not made available in the first LotR release. There weren't even any cards with the art style that's on the front of the box. None of the pulls felt very good and the value just isn't really there. I don't recommend this.

It was shipped quickly, well packaged, and exactly as advertised on the website. I bought 2 and had excellent luck with both, including a serialized land card. However that is is no way an indication of how good, or bad, your luck could be. My 5 star is based off the seller, shipping, and how well it was packaged.It is completely unfair for anyone to leave a poor review on a product like this because they didn't get the cards they wanted out of a pack that is by definition random, and I would be writing the exact same review now even if I had gotten nothing of note out of these packs.

Never buy a “used” box! It may say the product is still sealed, but this one that I got was not. If you buy any box, make sure that you film opening the package. My box came in, and the bottoms of all the packs were cut open, all the cards gone, filled with bulk cards that are worthless. Please protect your purchases.

Read a few reviews. Some troll said they didnt get good cards. Well thats really not the point of the review. Its to review the quality of the product. I assure you all, the quality is good. The product had the wizards seal. On another note. I pulled the two most expensive cards in the set. Very pleased.
