My lcs had blasters for $40. My curiosity for new product almost made me pull the trigger but decided to wait in hopes that I can find it at retail in the next few weeks.

It was relisted and sold for $65....someone most likely bailed on the $200...

I thought those all sold out, no? You got a link? The search algorithm has been terrible this week.

It would be nice to catch the first wave of people buying into the new product hype but seems like a huge gamble that you could get a lot of sketchy bidders.

Anyone know the MSRP on the tins? I'm seeing them for about $22 online but wondering how much of a markup, if any, this is. I'm not into the retail chase so I'd rather pre-order if I can

Should be about $15.

Nothing else. He took half and pulled that Bohm.

I figured we'd see blasters first with the later release dates on hangers, gravity feeds, tins, etc. - but apparently either retail boxes or gravitys will be showing up shortly as well...

This is correct. I messaged back and forth with him on Friday and he said it came from a $2.99 retail pack from Walmart. He graciously dug a wrapper out of the trash and sent me a photo of the pack odds. I was not able to figure out what that "red ice" parallel was. If it hasn't already been mentioned, I believe I saw a green and an orange version as well (not Bohm).

“Base Ultra Short Print” 1:75,000

Found blasters, fat packs, hangers and gravity feed packs today at Walmart.

Pulled a Bohm base in the fat pack along with a Gold. Haven’t opened any blasters or the hanger I bought yet.

JWBlue · 02-08-2021, 08:06 PM

The lower odds for hits will not have ANY impact on sales.

Would you show the odds for hangers?

Stringmusic · 02-08-2021, 08:20 PM

The rookies seem to come in batches, opened the hanger and two blasters and you might open 2-3 packs and not pull a single rookie, and then open one pack and there might be 4-5-6 rookies in a row.

Think there have been 2-3 golds, Eloy being the best. Pulled most of the base top 10 guys. Around 25 rookies all together. Rainbow foil Nick Madrigal is prosthetic best card I’ve pulled. The blue borders look pretty sweet, Juan Soto was the best blue.

This is the stuff that drives me nuts. Hobby boxes are pricing people out of the hobby and yet LCS is pushing retail now as well at flipper prices.

A lot of the LCS around has guys on the payroll stalking Wal Marts and Targets.

Feel like Topps and Panini should address this with the LCS but I'm sure they don't care. They gets theirs in the end no matter what.

Looking like rainbow foils are pumped up to around 5000-6000 PR now as opposed to 2500 or so the last few years.
If I were running the company I probably would have done the same thing but it is a little bit of an initial shock to see what looks like a giant increase from last years s1 production, even in the face of supposed covid influenced printing limitations.

Believe it or not, it’s a very small percentage that are shady ....

Wonder how many buyers will do double takes for the TTY insert cards. Trying to figure out why auto cards from previous years are showing up in the search.

RaceDog · 02-08-2021, 09:36 PM

Thanks Stringmusic!!

I’ve already bought 2 base Sixtos.
