Picked up a blaster box at Target today.
Each box holds 61 cards

50 Base cards and parallels (11 parallels were duplicates of basecards)

Chase:
3 Silhouettes
2 Smooth Sayings
2 Vehicles
2 Icons
1 Sticker
1 Patch Cards Hans Solo Patch

Thoughts: There is not much new here, I do like some of the chase, Smooth Sayings and Icons. Please don't do any more Silhouette cards Topps. "Hey Wow! Look! It's a little black shadow of Lando, always wondered how he'd look if we could just see his outline and no details!"
The base cards have minimal text, I still feel they could include some kind of details or something about the character cards. The patch card looks like it has a printed image, does anyone really like these things?

Wish I had a little more enthusiasm for this one. Hopefully the next set will have some interesting details and storyline.

Nice cards Don. The chase cards whilst not high end are I suppose value for money? Your commentary on the silhouette cards was very amusing.
Are the patches lose or attached to a literal card (like a costume card)?

I don't know if they are a "value", but some of them are very nice. The patch is mounted on a card. The patch reminds me of the printed cloth cards that were included in Journey to the Force Awakens. I think an embroidered patch of a symbol or logo as they have done in the past would be better.

I'm with Don...not much to write home about. Another SW product with too...Too...TOO many parallels. Appears little creativity was put into this release.

Overall D+/D
Pros: box and wrapper, colorful patch card
Cons: parallels, chase design, sticker odds, inadequate text, etc.

Stick with the blasters if you must. I got talked into opening a hobby box and this is such a lazy effort. Its a 100 card base set with 24 yellow, 9 gray, 6 green and 1 orange parallel in my box. Looks to be 5 insert sets also.


Two hits guaranteed, but one will be the manufactured patch, which is not especially well made even by the standards of a manufactured patch. I got MP-R2M Millennium Falcon.


The other hit might be sketch or autograph. I got an auto, which I like, but its from Anna Francolini as Imperial Border Guard. Probably not a main role.

But I could hardly tell by the card backs, which have virtually no text except character names, some not even that.

And the "Smooth Sayings Cards" insert go as follows for my 4:
Just trust us.
Kessel Crew (not even a saying)
I got this.
We're doing this my way.

Snappy dialogue there, hate to hear the non-smooth parts.

D- indeed. I haven't bought a Star Wars box in 2 years and I should have stayed away from this one.
