If we did it wouldn't be a mystery!

So Topps originally stated at some point or another that they were getting Liam Neeson and last rumor I heard was it never panned out. BUT maybe it did pan out at the last minute and he's a late addition. I guess we'll find out.

On another note, half as many base cards as last year with double the parallels per box. Granted they've clearly added parallels or at least increased some of the numbering but to cut the checklist in half and double the parallels would require either a 4x increase in parallels or a reduction in production. I'm thinking it's somewhere in the middle? Some increase in parallels while reducing total number of boxes. Maybe autos won't be impossible.

I think they might parallel the inserts the year (or at very least the Sapphire Selections) so the set size being paralleled could potentially be more than just the 100 base.

Wow that auto checklist is amazing

[peterose4hof]

I want this dual!

Good Luck! Hope you pull some amazing cards.

Keira Knightley

[ztaylork]

Cracked my case. One autograph (Ewan) and one sapphire selection (R2).

[ricebellypanda]

The cards look awful imo and they made almost 12k boxes of these. Boxes should be no more than 100.. 285 or 300 is way too much

That Knightley is nice

Yep, confirmed my decision not to buy in the MC offer. Way over priced.

Jedi Council

[Ace1676]

No sapphire selections but more than happy to have this in its place.

Awesome Dual!

[BobCollects]

Very nice Keira Knightley auto.

EDIT: And that dual auto! Congrats. 1:5,867 and numbered to 5. Huge card.

[Fenway55]

I hate how rare the insert sets are. Even the base cards are in the range of 1 per case for some of them.

Guess I won't be putting together a master set

[BabaORiley]

So... Odds are 1 auto per case, yeah?

Base OC Auto is 1:112 and guessing all the other autos bring the odds down to right at 1:case.

Horrific odds for the current box price. For every Natalie Portman auto there are probably 500 Ralph Browns.

Numbered Star Wars cards don't excite me in the least. The base looks nice but this configuration is clearly not for me.

[ztaylork]

I don’t think I did terrible on my case…but will still not come close to breaking even. There are a few monster cards. But agree with everyone…this needs to be half the price.

[Mallow423]

So sad to see this is what has happened with the hobby. Pricing out actual collectors in favor of the secondary market. Was hoping this wouldn’t be a lot, even based on recent releases but now way can I spend $300 on a box just for fun.
