I can tell you that the according to the writing on the outside of the box that there are 10 packs of ten cards in every box and there are four memorabilia cards :

Cade Yeager 1 : 50 packs
Shane Dyson 1 : 50 packs
Tessa Yeager 1 : 100 packs
Optimus Prime 1 : 150 packs

However it also says there are two hits per box Confused !

Never mind the price - I'd like to find a place selling them!

Just ordered off the site - the packs are £1 each.

Isn't that the trading card game? I thought the original post was referring to the official collector cards?

If that's the Topps site I think you have ordered the trading card game packs. I could not find the official collector cards on the website.Only place I could find the packs with the possible memorabilia hits was Ebay and the cheapest I saw was £45 for a ten pack box.

Graham you have ordered the wrong thing....The original post is for the hobby packs, not easy to find at the moment....you have ordered the Match Attax type cards like the footy & Dr Who.

No idea but they seem to have a track history of it. Topps in Germany seem to be the opposite and go over kill with roadshows and magazine promos, etc. Huge UK market for trading cards and TCG games not be fully realised by Topps, surprising given some of the licenses they hold.

When I interviewed Topps UK last year they said the reason they do not do shows etc over here is that the people attending them are already collectors of their cards, if they were going to do anything it would be aimed at the people who do not as yet collect.

That's very short sighted of them Shake Head . The people going to the shows may well collect cards but not necessarily Topps cards!

I for one don't buy Topps cards because there is so little information about them and it's hard to find dealers stocking them.

There are plenty of other companies out there who do a better job and so that's where my money goes.

the topps uk web-site is ok once things are out - but you have to look. The advertising for upcoming releases is poor

Any Information on the composition of this set?

How it's put together makes a big difference on how much to buy.

Sorry, forgot to mention I wanted these too. Yes, I did get them mixed up, and I'm still searching for the trading cards as well.

both boxes are the same cards but the 'hobby' box has memorabilia cards which they say is 2 hits per box. I seem to remember they did something similar a few years ago
