I opened one of my six boosters that I bought and I got a Freedan Nadd card but I got a Lord Hoth piece. Has anyone had that happen to them, can I get this fixed in any way or am i screwed?

From wizards customer service page:

I received my case today and was greeted by 2 Anakin Force Spirits and only 3 VRs (Nadd, Cay and Monn). I have heard of a few similar stories in the past. Has anyone ever contacted Wizards of the Coast about this? Is it something they help out with?

Thanks in advance!

For Galaxy at War, I opened a booster to find a General Whorm mini but with a Captain Argyus card. Actually, none of the cards matched the miniatures.
Luckily, later in the same case, I opened another booster and behold the cards didn't match the minis: just happen to be an Argyus mini with a Whorm card! (they apparently switched the card packs, as all the minis and cards matched once I switched them to the right booster)

I doubt is as there is no guarantee you will get four VRs in a case (that's just the typical distribution). You can try to contact customer service - it can't hurt the worst they will say is no and you are no worse off.

Thanks, Squid. I sent a message to customer service and will see what they do with it. Here's hoping it works out, but I'm not holding my breath.

WotC is pretty good about replacements. I bought a pack of Universe a while back, Thrawn was the VR, but all the cards were missing from the pack. They had no problems replacing all of them.

On a side note, that's pretty much why I quit Pirates of the Spanish Main. Their customer defect policy was just sending you a new pack.

Definitely don't hold your breath. It happened to me a couple of sets ago. I contacted customers service and got the line of "there is no guarantee of 4 VRs in a case; it's random." Maybe you'll have better luck, but I wouldn't get your hopes up.

There are extremely rare cases where the R/VR distribution in a case gets messed up. If anything though, I would contact whoever you bought the case from, and not WOTC. Are you certain it was a factory sealed case? Was the rest of the miniature distribution in the set accurate (i.e. 4 of each C and 2 of each UC)? If not, it's possible that a booster was swapped out. The likelihood of a distributor snatching one booster out of the case, and that booster being a VR is pretty small though. If the distributor fiddled with the cases, you'd probably know, because your C/UC ratios would be all out of whack too. If everything lined up except for just the one R instead of a VR, then it's probably just a factory error, and I doubt there's anything anyone will do about it. Sorry. :(
