The middle film of Peter Jackson's Hobbit trilogy is the one where the journey stops being an adventure and starts being a reckoning, and Cryptozoic built its card set around exactly that shift.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 72-card base set draws its imagery straight from the film, and five chase sets branch off it: Character Biographies, Lake-town, Smaug, Triptych Collage, and a Movie Posters set finished with 3D lenticular embellishment. What lifts this release above most licensed film sets is the signing list. Twenty-seven people put pen to card, and it reads like a call sheet — Martin Freeman as Bilbo, Richard Armitage as Thorin Oakenshield, Lee Pace as Thranduil, Aidan Turner as Kili, Graham McTavish as Dwalin, Ken Stott as Balin, James Nesbitt as Bofur, Stephen Fry as the Master of Lake-town, Sylvester McCoy as Radagast the Brown, Mikael Persbrandt as Beorn and Manu Bennett as Azog. Behind the camera, Andy Serkis signed as second unit director and Fran Walsh as writer. The full company of dwarves is present down to Bifur and Bombur.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAbove the autographs sit the Fine Art cards: hand-drawn originals, each one of a kind, with no second copy anywhere.
