Feels like last year's Hyperspace just released. They're really pumping and flooding Star Wars everything aren't they?

Regardless:

[cmixer]

Okay, here's a hot take ...

Instead of dropping 5 Star War products a year,
I would prefer 1 Star Wars product with enough print run that everyone can find (and afford) a box for multiple months. This might even lead to collectors finishing sets, trading, and reading the cards (instead of just hunting hits).

Does anyone remember Topps Total? It was a sports set with deep cuts and a huge checklist. Bring me STAR WARS TOTAL.

Regardless:


10x!!!! :flex:

The amount of products getting released and competing with each really makes you think how much longer can this sustain itself.
(star wars, disney, marvel, etc.)

Wouldn't want to own a LCS at the mercy of Fanatics right now
shoving all this stuff down their throats.

Buy or miss out on the next release.

[natbornkiller]

YeA another chrome format product

[kingofsnake]

Really wish we could get a Fanatics Star Wars product with on card autos.

[eastbayak]

Not only was last year's Hyperspace product trash, it was also greasy too.

Pass on the 2025 version.

[MattKC]

Either they didn't update their copy or.....

. Explore the Star Wars galaxy like never before with a first of its kind trading card experience celebrating the many worlds of the Star Wars universe. In its debut year, this set highlights five iconic planets: Tatooine, Lothal, Mandalore, Alderaan, and Corellia, featuring the characters


Up at 11 am CT today

I was very much let down by last years release so part of me thinks they might do the classic topps zag and juice this one as there is very little hype for it i would imagine...or it could be just as bad as last years sku lol

[phil]

priced higher than 2024 is selling for on eBay, nice

[Bob Ross]

Free loan to Fanatics until Dec 30 on these.

priced higher than 2024 is selling for on eBay, nice

And higher price for the main release.

[MattKC]

$149

Auto's run 2 per case / 1.in 4 boxes

[phil]

must have loaded 5 cases worth to create FOMO

[collect123baseb]

Never considered buying this. But they actually lowered the print run and much better odds compared to 2024

[dunquixote1]

Last year’s was one of the worst products I’ve ever opened.

[PumpnDumpling]

Last year’s was one of the worst products I’ve ever opened.

It was quite terrible, while they seemed to juice this one up a bit its still a pass from me

We all thought we were getting a cosmic type release but it absolutely sucked

[greatgradegrate]

Smaller printing, copy states 3 sketches, 2 autos and 2 other case hits in 8 box case. Cheaper than the onsale last year by $30. Features lots of my favorite Rebels characters. Don't feel bad about grabbing a couple but bummed it arrives after Xmas.

[eastbayak]

Last year’s was one of the worst products I’ve ever opened.

LOL you ain't lying.

I even bought a second box off a 582 member months later for like $100 shipped (to open with my kid) and it only reminded me how trash it was.

At least my kid loved her Chewbecca base card though.

I thought about trying for a box, but forgot about the drop, and honestly I'm not too upset about it. I'm not the biggest fan of the theme, but the cards do look better this time.

[sandyfrank]

I agree with the others opinion that last years was absolutely one of the worst ever Topps Star Wars releases. The cards do look much more appealing this time and better odds so went for 3 boxes. Had no issues purchasing so probably not much demand for it LOL. They could have made this a monster success if it was like Cosmic honestly...makes you really wonder how clueless Topps/Fanatics is at knowing what collectors and customers want.

I didn't partake in the last Hyperspace either, even when the boxes could be snagged for just over $100 in auction. This release is just obviously so much more appealing. Same amount of hits per case, but down to 8 boxes from 12, design and inserts much improved, visually.

Sold out in what, 60 seconds? They know what they're doing.

An unknown possibly small percentage of the overall print run sold out in 60 seconds. They know what they're doing recreating FOMO on a product that did poorly last year.

Bolded the important part. Collecting has become predictable and they're cashing in with every release because too many people can't help themselves. Whether it's FOMO or whatever, their formula is working.

And you say last year's product "did poorly". Topps sold out, and how many who got burned lined up again for this year? Regardless of how this one plays out, you can bet they're already planning to do it again next year.

[kyle1707]

Star Wars and marvel are so boring

I never thought I would pass on so many products

[Comicmankev]

It's helped me sell a few of the old set on comc at least

[Jaysabz]

Saw on Reddit someone already ripped three and hit a Kenobi base super, Moff Gideon auto, and a decent Tuskan Raiders sketch.

Topps site says this goes live at 12EST tomorrow. Wonder what their price will be.

Kind of looks underwhelming. No guaranteed hit - 2 autos and 3 sketches per 8 box case, so 3 out of every 8 people can eat one.

Blowout has these up at $239.99 per.

[JECpsu]

Honestly the SP inserts are the only thing that interests me. The sketches in this have been lower quality than the other sets.

[ricebellypanda]

Ripped a case last night - 2 autos (baby ice cube/jude law) and 2 sketches. Supposed to get 3 so put in a missing hit

[phil]

Ridiculous

[Sickleclaw]

probably $159.99

It is at this price

[PoPCulture]

Sold out in under 3 minutes. Wild!

[Sickleclaw]

Wonder how many went to bots/ breakers.

[PoPCulture]

Wonder how many went to bots/ breakers.

I’m sure all of the cases did. Probably weren’t that many available though. I didn’t even try a case but did get an 8 box order in quick enough.

[Bob Ross]

Wonder how many went to bots/ breakers.

Highly doubt any. eBay prices vs retail + tax arent worth it to them.

Which means, being the fast sell out, I'm sure Fanatics only put up a few cases.

[crdbored]

Sold out in under 3 minutes. Wild!

what was the launch price on Topps?

[Sickleclaw]

what was the launch price on Topps?

160 dollars

[PrinceVegeta]

I got a case, wanted to rip something for once.

[finfangfan]

Sold out in under 3 minutes. Wild!

We are in a weird time when everything Topps puts out sells out quickly. I wonder how long until Fanatics ipos?

I’m sure all of us long-timers miss the days of being able to purchase pretty much any nonsports hobby boxes from Dreamjoey for $10 under MSRP for weeks after each release. Of course in those same days I was able to preorder and receive as much of anything I wanted from my distributor at cost. Glory days are indeed dead!

[TimBuckTwo]

Yes it is a space I cannot play in anymore not necessarily by lack of funds but by lack of access to the product.

Dreamjoey lol...I have no idea how he run that business for so long losing money like that.

Then he went out in a blaze of glory and scammed eBay out of hundreds of thousands.

[Jaysabz]

I pretty much gave it up.

I still like looking at other people's hit and talking cards, but lack of access - or having to pay 3x what I used to to get access - has me not ripping anything really - ripped around $300 of Clerks III boxes around Black Friday.

Insane the amount of money I've saved since I stopped the insanity. Didn't realize it when I'd be spending $300-400 a few times per month, but I was spending about $15,000 per year ripping.

Now I budget around $1-$2k per year for singles and probably have better cards to show for it than when I was spending $15k.

Never going to hit another Penix sketch or a crazy Hamill auto or Mando Superfractor, but even if I did, it'd never take me back to even when I was bleeding out $15,000 on average per year.

[cypher]

Another trash product with zero effort.

[oldgoldy97]

Galaxy is way better.

[bub838]

Highly doubt any. eBay prices vs retail + tax arent worth it to them.

Come on, Bob. You know it’s the bots buying it all! :coffee:

[crdbored]

Another trash product with zero effort.

Very boring set. Basically Topps chrome with planets in the background.

[greatgradegrate]

Base set can't compare with Galaxy, but better chance for sketch, auto and SP at about half the cost. If you're ripping.

[Gidtheson]

I got 2 in my case and put in a missing hit claim.
Got a notification today that a replacement sketch is on it's way and should be here Friday.
Have they responded to your request?

Yes getting a Watto sketch - how about you?
