The first state box toppers have hit eBay, and they look great! I want the set, but it isn't going to happen anytime soon. Relics are numbered out of 50, and die cut to the shape of the state. I'm not terribly impressed with the combining of states (though I guess that makes the set a little easier to complete) or and the use of the same relic for multiple states. Only time will tell where this ends up overall.

This are pretty sweet. But with only of 50, it's next to impossible to put together unless you start snapping them up as they appear, I'd imagine. I'm in no position to do that myself. Still would be an awesome set to build and frame.
ReplyDeleteI agree, they're beautiful but there's no way I can snatch these up at these high prices right now. I'm hoping that I'll be able to pick them up cheap once the fever dies down, or maybe not.
