I've already got a box on order, but couldn't wait so picked up a blaster box at Walmart and 3 packs at Target.

Walmart Blaster Box - 60 cards plus 1 hit
35 base cards, 10 rust parallels
4 No Safe Haven
2 Adversaries
3 Walkers
1 Weapons
5 Allegiences (Walmart exclusive)
the hit: 1 Bat Card, BR-AF Abraham Ford

Target packs:
6 cards per pack 11 base, 3 parallel
1 Walker
1 Adversaries
1 No Safe Haven
1 In Memoriam (Target Exclusive)

Thoughts: A nice set covering all seasons of the show. Major cast have 2 or 3 cards to show how they changed over the years. The Walker cards are not just generic walkers, but major cast who had turned, such as Shane.

Bat relic cards have been around in baseball sets for years, these are "inspired" by Negan's bat Lucille. They are Walmart only.
Hoping for a good auto in my Hobby box, there are some big signers included in this set.

The Target In Memoriam chase set is still the best subset in the whole series. This set covers all the episodes, my In Memoriam was The Governor.

I like the fact that you can get decent trading cards at Walmart & Target

I agree with Hammer. That is nice. Walmart in Canada is hit or miss with the non-sport blaster boxes. Sometimes they have them and sometimes they don't.

I opened one hobby box:

1 base set
24 brown base set parallels
6 Adversaries
8 No Safe Haven
6 Walker
4 Weapons
Seth Gilliam as Father Gabriel autograph numbered 97/99

Got my box today, from Sunny Arizona. I had been tracking it and by all appearances it was to be delivered tomorrow, so a bit of a surprise to find my box on my doorstep. I have not always had good luck with Walking Dead hobby boxes, so I was hoping I'd get at least one autograph. Lots of cards per box, 24 packs with 8 cards per pack, so hoped for a full set too.

Here's what I got:
1 base set of 100 cards , 42 extras 24 rust parallels
4 of 12 Weapons
6 of 10 Walkers
8 of 9 No Safe Haven
6 of 12 Adversaries

Early into the box I got an auto, Jordan Woods-Robinson as Eric Raleigh 27/99
Then a few packs later, a second auto, Sarah Wayne Callies as Lori Grimes 33/50

Very happy to pull 2 autos, I really like the Lori Grimes one, I'm liking her role in The Long Road Home. Still need a few chase but very pleased with this box.
