NRL Dynasty 2012 (The World's Slowest Box Break)

[MILD]

Or- An Exercise in Self Control.

I had my box and folder delivered from Footy Cards yesterday and I am yet to crack the box but will be prolonging the bust. My wife tells me I'm robbing my son of fun by buying bulk packs and opening them all at once!

I'm hoping for the base set (setting the bar high there) as well as any Titans inserts. Really hoping for a Ryan James TP over a Scott Prince League Leader but either one would be awesome!!

I need to go pick up some sleeves tomorrow and then I'll keep you updated on what I pull. I'd imagine this thread won't be exciting as others but it's the least I can do to play along with the community!

Thanks guys- I'll post up some results tomorrow.

It's much more fun and mostly less disappointing to open in bulk!!

Mojo!! Hope you get what you want!!

Two packs tonight and I got a Hindmarsh All Star in the first pack so happy with that. The All Star cards do look better in hand than I thought they would but still not particularly exciting.

I think the basic set looks quite neat though and the parallel set looks great. I'll actually chase the Titans cards for that. I wasn't a big fan of the silver and gold cards from Champions.

Pack 1 - Sutton Hindmarsh Allstar
Pack 2 - Tighe
Pack 3 - Tupou (error- Topou on back)
Pack 4 - Wallace
Pack 5 - Te'o
Pack 6 - B. Stewart

So far no major action... I might do another couple of cheeky packs later tonight

 

[MILD]

Pack 7 - N. Smith Aaron Payne Allstar
Pack 8 - Matulino
Pack 9 - Snowden Snowden Allstar
Pack 10 - Utai Blair Allstar
Pack 11 - Slater
Pack 12 - Stanley

Must be getting close to busting something other than an allstar soon!

good luck mick

Hey- it must of worked!! I decided to open a few more packs until another hit (even if it was an Allstar we'd stop there for the day).

Pack 13 - Peats
Pack 14 - Perrett
Pack 15 - Pearce Beale TP (58/300)

Yes! Pretty cool to pull something other than an Allstar and on the upside it wasn't another James card (which would have resulted in some explaining to SWMBO).

Hopefully the flood gates will open and the next time I open a couple of packs we can start seeing some nice cards.

 

[Mr Grasshopper]

Hay Mick, good luck buddy, I don't know how you could stop busting like that, I don't think I could do it my self.

 

[MILD]

Pack 16 - Moltzen
Pack 17 - Shillington Slater TOTY
Pack 18 - Thompson
Pack 19 - Roberts
Pack 20 - Packer
Pack 21 - Srama (first Titan parallel! Yes!)

 

[Mr Grasshopper]

Go Mick, Mojo to you buddy!

 

[MILD]

Thanks Andy- hopefully some good stuff in the last half of the box.

As for the stop- start bust believe me I am often tempted to just dive straight in and smash them out but I'm really delaying it just for the benefit of my boys. Much more fun opening a few packs at a time (interest is lost otherwise).

Pack 22 - Lockyer TC

Looks like I'm through the All Star cards now and two thirds through the box. Still got my fingers crossed for something juicy.

 

[mischap123]

Bring it home strong Mick!

 

[MILD]

Pack 22 - B. White - Lockyer TC
Pack 23 - Tuqiri
Pack 24 - Weyman
Pack 25 - Thompson
Pack 26 - Thaiday - Cherry-Evans AW

Ten packs left... still waiting on a predictor and whatever other awesomeness we can score. Just over 30 cards remaining for the base set.

 

[Mr Grasshopper]

Hay Mick, I forgot all about you mate, you still going with that box, lol, I think you are the slowest box breaker in the world, lol.

 

[MILD]

Hahaha- well I did say it was the world's slowest break!

 

[MILD]

Pack 27 - Pomeroy
Pack 28 - Stagg
Pack 29 - Watmough
Pack 30 - Tolman
Pack 31 - Ross Rabbitohs Predictor (good result. This one might come in!)

 

[GiRDS-]

holy moley i forgot about this, expected it to be done by now. you were right with the worlds slowest break.

 

[Mr Grasshopper]

Go Mick, nearly there mate, few weeks left.

 

[MILD]

Pack 32 - C. Smith - Uate TOTY
Pack 33 - Tahu - Cronk AS
Pack 34 - Sandow
Pack 35 - Thurston Bailey AS
Pack 36 - Prince

And I'm spent.... Unfortunately missed the complete base set by two cards so I'll toss a thread up and hopefully someone here will have something to part with.
