Mine had the exact same configuration, although the TH cards were both TH-7 The Convert.

I do like the Red refractors more than the normal ones, even though the aren’t marked refractor on the back.

Also noticed little or no breakdown information on the box or wrapper.

The reds remind me of radio waves. Dance

Anybody open a HOBBY box?

That's still an expensive one - somewhere around $235 shipped. If it comes down to less than $100, that's a maybe for me. There are still a couple of other boxes from the last 12-15 years I've considered.

Blaster Box that was almost the same configuration as X-Time:

[quote]31 base, no dupes
4 refractors
4 red wave refractors
1 GG-23
1 RA-7
1 RP-14,18
2 TH-9

These are pricey for what you get.

Hobby boxes sold out within a day of release at at least 3 shops in my area. Didn’t figure I’d waste any more time looking locally but also not interested at some of the price levels I’ve seen it at.
Will wait to see if I can buy a nice kit after someone opens it for the inserts.

There were only 4 autographs I was interested in that I picked up already. Didn't see any reason to pollute my collection with ANOTHER Star Wars set.

Mary Elizabeth Winstead
Timothy Olyphant
Jennifer Beals
and
Arianna Greenblatt.


Still hoping they will get Keri Russell to sign something at some point and that they can come up with an original product idea. Razz
