Yeah believe it or not, not a single one! Especially since I saw you were hitting multiple per case. Funny enough, I was hoping to use my break to get a head start on that’s set. Oh well.

Very few of the Metal cards on ebay. Guessing these will be mostly in the epack version.

Brobocop · 02-22-2025, 05:16 AM

Got my Keith David auto for $150, psyched for that to come in. Almost bought a box the other night on Fanatics live for $160 so feel like this is a personal win for being a bit more patient and lucky. Still have no idea where auto prices shake out but, this is Keith David we’re talking about. Priceless.

Awesome pickup. Seems like a solid price for his auto.
There's an inscription "Arbiter" version on eBay auction right now.

The Accountant · 02-22-2025, 06:36 PM

Collation def a little weird. Didn’t get a single metal card in 4 cases, but for a good number of /117 armory, weapon, and vehicle cards

The Accountant · 02-22-2025, 06:36 PM

Can’t wait for epack

Saw that as well. I wanted the auto more for Keith David and less for voicing the Arbiter. Now, if there was a "They Live" set released with inscriptions, we're talking a whole new ballgame.

Thanks for the heads up! Just grabbed a bunch

The Accountant · 03-04-2025, 10:49 AM

For anyone that has ordered blasters, have you received shipment yet?

itsbaytime · 03-04-2025, 12:34 PM

Mine shipped last night. They are sold out now. Thanks to OP for posting about them btw.

itsbaytime · 03-05-2025, 05:28 PM

..and they arrived today. I ordered 20 boxes because I was hoping for a case. I am unsure what to do now. The auto odds are not good in the blasters.

My blaster case arrived yesterday. I've opened 12 of my 20. They're very formulaic.

Per blaster you're going to get:
2 character green (Spartan Op)
1 SSF green (Spartan Op)
1 character OR SSF purple (Great Journey)
1 character or SSF overshield (blaster exclusive parallel)
1 Active Camo
1 'base' Discover, War Machine OR Weapon Drop insert.

If you get a hit, it'll take the place of a base SSF and through my 12 blaster i've got a Cortana Chip redemption and a Slipspace character card with a demolished corner.

I was hoping for more inserts in a box to complete the set faster but looks like i'll have to wait for epack and the base dump on comc.
The overshield parallel looks nice. The auto odds 1:1400 are brutal lol

The fact that the insert sets are so huge is just wild to me, with as few of them as there are in hobby boxes and at the ‘base’ version being 1 per blaster, I’m not down for 5 blaster cases with perfect coalition to build out a set, let alone chasing wildly expensive hobby boxes and getting a combined 4-5 across all 3 sets (with at least 1 being a parallel to boot). It’s going to be/is beyond annoying trying to fill them out.

Who doesn’t love pulling 1 auto for every 10 blaster cases?

Wolverine011 · 03-06-2025, 07:21 PM

I'm surprised that more autos haven't shown up on eBay (e.g. Steve Downes, Jen Taylor, and Jeff Steitzer). I guess we'll have to wait for the eventual ePack/COMC dump.

PapaStu · 03-07-2025, 04:25 AM

I finished my blaster case, 3 Cortana chips (don't know what tier/cards yet) and the slipspace character card that I need to talk to UD about because that corner is folded over on itself. I ended up with 17 overshields across the case, Cortana cards seemed to replace the overshield in the blaster if you got one.

I was seeing some comments that the blaster Cortana Chips are also unnumbered (the ones in the hobby boxes are numbered) so the fact those may have parallels too... I'm just kinda stunned.

The Accountant · 03-07-2025, 12:07 PM

I got a H3 Master Chief Cortana /25. Can't wait to get that in hand for the best game of the series.

how do you find out what chip you got? after redeeming? all the redemptions look the same.

No way to tell until you redeem it. Mostly junk only one /25

crdbored · 03-07-2025, 01:36 PM

Interesting..

The blaster boxes list a "metastable" parallel that are non numbered and the H5 Cortana Chip seems to be blaster exclusive.
The main checklist on UD doesn't have either listed.

For buyers of redemption cards, just beware the blaster ones do not appear to be numbered but they look the same as the hobby version from what i've seen.
