I found some at Target. I purchased: 4 - 14 card packs (these have the Target Exclusives.) I got all that was on the peg 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!!! So, I have extras to trade. Go figure. 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?

What I found in my box of Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back.

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 ?

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.
