The blasters are terrific value.

I don’t think Target online will ever have them listed. Prices are trending downward on singles BUT they’re such a fun rip. Good amounts of color and personally resale on singles doesn’t matter much to me. Cheap and fun break for the collectors in us all.

Blasters (at 25 unfortunately but sold by Walmart) are back in stock on walmart.com. Maybe worth the not having to hunt in Walmarts if that isn't your thing..

cool thanks, what was srp? I thought WM was supposed to stick to the srp, didn't know they could raise prices. I actually see some on ebay for $25 including shipping, and some have sold for $20 (wtf). thinking about it even though prizm nba is less than a month away, but might be fun just to rip 2 or 3

20. Walmart has been playing around with their prices quite a bit this year. Fat packs going up a buck and these more sought after products (PDP and Prizm) going up anywhere from 5 to 10 higher than MSRP... Their 2019/20 Prizm NBA Blasters are 30 (like most preorders out there) - perhaps that may just be the new MSRP for those though...

$19.95 or .98 was what I paid in store, not sure why they're hiking the price on the site. They look sold-out again, so there ya go.

At this point has retail been found in everyone’s area here? Not that I am looking to buy, but I’m always checking the card aisles and this I have not seen. Starting to get a bad feeling for when regular Prizm should be coming around.

I have to assume the print runs (unfortunately for Prizm NBA) between this and NBA will be night and day. Having said that, I've seen some locally - but have probably missed the Mega Box boat from Target - was hoping to catch those come online to no avail as of yet...

We got blasters and fat packs last week, this week the Target Megas showed up. I’ve gotten my fill of each of them, pulled a ton of Zions and everyone else. Pretty fun break for retail, not great for resale right now unless you pull a choice Zion or rare card like Color Blast.

Picked up a retail box and one of the three packs with the pink pulsars. Can't complain...

This product is really fun to open. I think as the new products come along, the cracking may not be as fun as these packs have been.

It is awesome for such a small set to deliver and not feel like you wasted any money on retail!

Easy to pull Zions, easy to get silvers and colors and all are pre Rookie card. Just awesome value, and the quality of the cards are great.


Value wise, I guess it will be second tier but quality.

Will the Zion's have a rebound in value if he comes back and plays well? Some people might be priced out of the regular prizm stuff and maybe they'll grab these because they're cheaper? Just deciding whether to hold this Zion stuff until he comes back. Prices have cratered

I’d say to probably hold the silvers and maybe some of the other color Prizms if you have them in the #1 card in the set. The base cards and the Crusade/All-Americans subsets probably won’t increase much in value either way.

I truly enjoyed the ones I opened. A ton of color.

The nice thing is that college team collectors that will still buy their teams cards (maybe not at a premium, but still). It's a lot more risky with the NBA. For example: LeBron - Cavs/Heat/Cavs/Lakers. Durant: Thunder/GSW/Nets. I do get that a superstar is a superstar, but there is no love for medium/lower tier players once they leave that NBA team. Once a Duke, UNC, Gonzaga, etc. alumni, always an alumni.

This is what I'm thinking, too. I'll probably hold the silver and blue

By time Zion comes back, Prizm will be out. And I imagine he’ll be on a minutes restriction too. If your two options are sell now versus sell when he return, just sell now.
