man thats a sweet box

i opened 5 hobby boxes so far and hit one printing plate and a paul unnumbered vest piece

Picked up a bonus box at Target.

1 box, 12 packs, 5 cards each pack.
53 commons(no dupes)
3 blood parallels
2 Snapshots
1 Transformation
1 KISSED (Target Exclusive) parallel 8/25
1 binder order card

Will update.

My two hobby boxes didn't quite match Rich65's.

Hobby Box: 24 packs of 5 cards, 20 boxes per case. Expect 1.19 base sets of 90, on average, if collation were perfect. Retail Box: 24 packs of 5 cards. Retail Blaster Box: 12 packs of 5 cards, 20 boxes per case. Wal-Mart boxes have "Dr. Love" parallel base cards, while Target boxes have "Kissed" parallel base cards (# to 25), instead of Hobby's "Blood Spitting" parallel base cards.

I opened 1 more and I got:

4 Snapshots
2 Transformations
1 Green Parallel
No big inserts but I'm not complaining after my first 2 boxes. I still have 2 more on the way so fingers crossed.

Anybody wanting to trade your extra base sets and chase LMK.

I've got another box on the way, too.

Picked up some Wal-Mart packs tonight.
Appears WM has an exclusive parallel set titled DR.LOVE.

Really like the Snapshots chase cards.
Extra sets wanted.

Wal-Mart has exclusive "Dr. Love" parallels
Target has exclusive "Kissed" parallels
Hobby boxes have "Blood-Spitting" and "$" parallels

Are there any more exclusives?

Are the autographs only in the hobby boxes?

No, but the quad auto (#/5) might be.

Bought 1 sealed box and about 10 loose packs last week.

12 blood spitting parallels
10 snapshots
3 Transformation- TF-1 of 6, 5 of 6 and 6 of 6
3 $ parallels- #11 44/50, #28 12/50 and #86 34/50
1 printing plate- yellow back for card #18, 1/1

Opened 3 boxes this week...

Box 1
0 Base Sets (missing 4 cards)
6 Blood Parallels
1 $ Parallel
Snapshots 2,3,5,6
Transformations 2,5
RR-GS1 Unnumbered Gene Simmons Relic

Box 2
1 Base Set
6 Blood Parallels
1 $ Parallel
Snapshots 4,8,9,12
Transformations 4,6
Yellow Printing Plate front of card #73

Box 3
1 Base Set
6 Blood Parallels
1 $ Parallel
Snapshots 2,3,5,6
Transformations 2,5
No high-end chase

Overall I really like the way this set is put together. It relies a bit much on Parallels with 3 different sets with 2 of them being 1-per-box cards and one of them retail only.

The Snapshot cards are nice and the motion cards are well done.

May well open a bit more, would love to pull an auto...

I just bought a Target blaster box and it had the same ratio of cards.

Just found and opened a box of 12 Retail from Walmart.
52 Base cards no dupes
3 Blood Splattered Parallel
2 Snapshots
1 Transformation TF-3/6
1 Memorabilia RR-EC 02/05(Eric Carr Drum Head)

No KISSignatures
No Dr. Love Base Parallels

Not too bad although I had 20 of the base from 4 Loose packs that I opened already.

Just opened a second Walmart box.
56 Base cards no dupes
3 Blood Splattered Parallel
2 Snapshots
1 Transformation TF-3/6
No others

With a total of 28 packs I have finished my base set of 90. Have 1 of 6 Transformation, 5 of 12 SnapShots, 6 Blood Splattered Parallel, 1 Rockstar Relic no Dr Love Walmart Parallel, no Kissed target Parallel, No Press Plate, No KISSignatures. 39 extras and 1 extra Transformation

Not too bad for retail.

2 blood splattered cards 53 and 57
5(yes 5) snapshots 7x2, 8, 9, 11
