18 green parallels 1:2
6 blue parallels 1:4
0 purple parallels 1:48
1 trader loot 1:24
1 sketch 1:519 (Dan Cooney - Luke) Clap

Other longshot possibilities...

print plate 1:4,148
medallion 1:432

Overall B+/B
Pros: base design, 1-100 feature all the movies and 101-200 feature art/posters. Parallels really stand out. No dupes.
Cons: incomplete set, wrapper design is rather plain.

Have fun. Thumb Up

I purchased two hobby boxes this week. I was able to build one base set from the two boxes. It's a nice looking base set. Here are the other cards:

1st box
18 green parallel cards
6 blue parallel cards
1 Star Wars Card Trader card
1 Buyback card
Lewis MacLeod as Sebulba autograph card
Dylan Riley sketch card (that looks a lot like base card 188) Thumb Up

2nd box
18 green parallel cards (7 of these were in the first box)
6 blue parallel cards
1 Star Wars Card Trader card
1 Buyback card
Glyn Baker as Lieutenant Endicott autograph card
Black printing plate for card 189 Thumb Up

That printing plate is one of the nicest printing plates I have pulled. The image is very clear.

Blasters at Target have the usual 10 packs plus a medallion or film cel.
Some blasters claim to have exclusive to Target patches. Make sure you read the box carefully.

Happy hunting. Wavey

Opened a blaster...

1 purple parallel #4 66/100 1:102 Thumb Up

Again, the parallel design is easy to distinguish from base.
The font used for numbering can be a little difficult. For example, it is easy to mistake a 6 for an 8.
