I picked up a few more boxes at Target. I could not find the expansion cards though.

An unopened Gravity Feed box of 36 packs. It had a base set in it, also:

green parallel: 36 cards
blue parallel: 18 cards
purple parallel: 9 cards
character stickers 7 stickers
montage: 3
First order rises: 4 cards
Behind the scenes:3 cards
Concept Art: 7 cards
Movie Scenes: 8 cards
Weapons: 3 cards
Locations: 2 cards

A retail box of 24 packs had the expected inserts, plus 3 different foil stamped (#/250) inserts.

I am still short most all the insert sets, but have dupes for trading.

I got a Hobby box for Christmas from my daughter. At least the packs have an "H" on them. I was a little surprised to not even come close to a set, and the "hits" are three numbered foils.
My box had:
52 base cards with silver foil
24 Green foil parallels
11 Blue foil parallels
6 Purple foil parallels

Lots of insert sets:
Movie Scenes 10 of 20
Concept Art 9 of 20
Stickers 8 of 18
Weapons 4 of 10
Locations 5 of 9
First Order 4 of 9
Behind the Scenes 3 of 7
Montage Cards 5 of 8

1 Base card numbered 120/250
1 First Order numbered 101/250
1 Movie Scenes Numbered 144/250

Cards are nice with glossy finish and Foil title. I was woefully short of a set, many of the colored foil parallels are duplicates of the base cards I got.Would like to have seen a hit of some kind, per box. I think the Target blaster boxes with a medallion are the best deal.

Don,

Was it a square box with 2 stacks or a flat box with 4 stacks. The square boxes are the Hobby Special Edition. I hope she didn't pay too much for it because there are those unscrupulous dealers out there just calling them Hobby boxes even though they have no chance at real hits.

Ed, it was a square box with 2 stacks. I don't know how much she paid for them, but the place she got it at wouldn't sell a box. They had to open it and scan a pack 24 times!

Those are those "Hobby Light" kind. They are $48 and those cards numbered to 250 are found only in those.
You can't get the big hits in them, but they are a lot more affordable than the regular hobby kind.
