Star War Chrome & Legacy Boxes - 1st break for my son

So my 6 1/2 year old son has been obsessed with Star Wars the past few months ever since he watched the 6 movies and the Rebels cartoon
So being a card collector myself I bought him 2 boxes off of Blowout: Chrome & Jedi Legacy

The break started out pretty decent but ended with great disappointment

Jedi Legacy:
Young Anikan Green Parallel
Luke Skywalker Single Film Cell
Jabba Sail Barge Relic

Chrome:
Darth Vador Gold Refractor 29/50
Obi Wan Helmet relic
Boba Fett Helmet relic

As you can see the problem is that we got 2 manufactured helmet relics and not a 2nd premium hit!
Yes we had fun opening these cards, but feel very ripped not get a sketch, 1/1 or auto when the box clearly states you get 1 helmet relic and 1 other hit
The Jedi Legacy box was only $45, so i feel we easily got our value for that box, however for $115 for the Chrome box, we certainly did not.
I plan on contacting Topps and sending in the needed items to get a replacement, however if it's anything like their sports card missing hits replacement, I am prepared for the worst possible hit or nothing at all!
Maybe if I tell them the sob story of how this is my sons first break and how much he was looking forward to this and was letdown, which is all very true.
Anyway wanted to post and get your thoughts and feedback.
