Didn't see a discussion for this yet.
Opened two cases for my group break.

Large base set, 200 cards. I like it when it takes more than a box to put together a base st but I could not make a base set from an entire case. If I combine both cases I could make one base set, be short around 10 cards from a second and 70 cards from a third. That is an extreme.

Refractor parallels are nice, the color really pops on them. Pulled a Grievous super!

Inserts are the same as always. Comic Covers, Posters and Concept Art. I like the poster inserts but something different would be nice. They seem to use the same inserts for most sets.

Medallions. Stop calling these hits! I don't mind them being in the product but just call them an insert and advertise as one hit per box.

Autographs are pretty brutal. I actually did better than most without getting any duplicates and a Billy Dee Williams #/10. The bigger signers are very hard to hit.

Sketches were nice on the whole. Definitely above average quality. The one thing I didn't like was the card stock was half as thick as the other cards in the set.

If anyone opens any I will be looking to trade base cards for base cards.

Wow, not even one base set in a whole case. That's a shame even when you figure in that it's double the size of many sets.

Yeah, they did posters almost 25 years ago with Empire Strikes Back Widevision. The variety of posters from around the world is cool but again?

If Topps is going to do something over and over, why not go with stickers? Everyone likes stickers. People who don't collect cards like stickers. R2-D2 or any of the ships would look good as a glow-in-the-dark sticker.

I thought the Empire Strikes Back 3D Widevision set could've used another chase level. Instead of Topps sticking the 3D sticker on the outside of the box, why not insert a couple into the packs of each box for the customers or at least make that one a box topper instead?
