I found some at Target. I purchased:
4 - 14 card packs (these have the Target Exclusives.) I got all that was on the peg Frown
2 - regular 6 card packs (from a gravity feed box)
1 - box (with 10 packs, 6 cards per pack, and 1 patch per box)

Note: the retail does have autos, silver parallel autos, gold parallel autos, and sketches. These odds varied depending on the type of pack. Also, the patch odds varied from 1:10 packs (in the box), to 1:170 packs (in the other packs)

I Got:
blue starfield blue base cards - several
Jabba slime green starfield parallels(1:1) - 16 cards
black starfield parallels (1:2) - 7 cards
death star silver parallels (1:4) - 5 cards
lightsaber neon (Pink) starfield parallels (1:6) - 4 cards
Behind the scenes (1:5) - 4 cards (one double)
Character silhouette Foils (1:3) - 6 cards (one double)
concept art (1: ??) - 5 cards (one double)
character stickers(1:3) - 6 cards (one double)
Heroes of Resistance (1:5) - 4 cards (one double)
Power of First Order (1:5) - 3 cards (one double)
cloth stickers (1:9) - 2 stickers (These are new.)
patch card (1:10, or 1:170) - one patch
Choose your Destiny cards (1 per 14 card pack) - 4 cards (Target Exclusive)

I really like the parallel cards (and I usually do not), probably because they are bright colors, and easily distinguished.
Listed on the packs, Topps shows: "evolution of the lightsaber 1:5" - which is probably the concept art cards?

Picked up 3 jumbo packs at Toys-R-Us...

31 blue base
3 black parallels
3 green parallels
2 code cards
2 foils
2 stickers
1 Power

0 autographs 1:545
0 silver auto parallel 1:2398
0 gold auto parallel 1:11988
0 sketch 1:811
0 patch 1:170

With those odds I'm shocked I didn't pull an auto, sketch or patch.

Wal-Mart exclusives are finally out.

Picked up 8 units.(16 total packs)
Each comes with two sealed packs with 6 cards each and 2 exclusives.
The exclsuives are a shiny version of the FL chase inside the packs.
All...I repeat...ALL 8 had the same two exclusives, eventhough the set appears to be nine cards total. UGGH!!! Mad
So, I have extras to trade. Go figure. Twak
The packs contain 1-2 base and 4-5 chase each. Good luck trying to complete the base set with these retail packs.
Anybody else with different results? Confused

The collation of the color exclusive inserts was very poor in the blister packs that I purchased as well. On the plus side, I found some of the Toys R Us blueprints cards in the Walmart packs.

X-Time, I am confused by what you pulled from the Wal Mart packs

As you said, there are 9 Family Legacy cards

But are you saying that there are shiny variants on them, also ?
October 16, 2015, 06:56 PM

The Family Legacy cards are either heritage style, or a full color modern style. So FL-1 through FL-9 are each available in two variations.

Bought ten packs from a feeder box at Toys r Us. Each pack contained a blue print card. There was one purple parallel in this batch.
