That’s to bad

Parallel sets will probably be a little difficult. I’ll personally work on the base set for sure, but then maybe a partial blue star field set - do something like the bounty hunters, and/or some select favorite characters

Lots of options for other cool ones, too - blue Jedi set, red Sith set, droid themed runs, etc. Will be cool to see what people want to do

Ooohhhh i like this idea.... How cool would a complete Blue Star Field Set look with Red Dark Side Characters Mixed in!

I'll definitely consider this! I still have a VERY outstanding commission owed to eldavojohn...

PoPCulture · 09-14-2022, 08:20 AM

I think I’m going to try for the black Starfield set. Wish me luck!

I could send you a blank (i have some Mars Attacks Blank Sketch packs) or just work with whatever you have.

I love your art style and time is not an issue so please let me know

Just used all mine up, time consuming doing three boxes at a time but worth it!

Fortunate, looks like they closed the loophole.

I’m assuming these fit nicely in tobacco card 15 pocket pages. Can anyone recommend suitable soft sleeves for them?

Ultra pro sells a soft sleeve/toploader combo pack for tobacco cards. See my photo in post #17 of this thread to see how perfectly they fit. I’m not sure if sleeves only are sold by the pack. I was able to get these from my distributor but they are likely available on Ultra Pro’s website and/or at most LCS’s.

psochaps · 09-15-2022, 12:31 PM

I’ve used these.

jdandns · 09-15-2022, 09:30 PM

Keep 'em in partially full cigarette packs.
Give them that rich aromatic smell of tobacco!

Hollywood42 · 10-04-2022, 07:33 AM

Couple hours left to get your order in, if anyone else was waiting for the clock to run down before purchasing

With orders shipping 15-20 days after the clock runs out (today), hoping we will start receiving the packs before the end of the month. Looking forward to trying these out!

JoshMN · 10-04-2022, 08:02 AM

Curious to see the print run on this.

Also, that Han Solo in Carbonite short print is calling my name.

Peachcardsatl · 10-04-2022, 08:28 AM

Anyone know how many waves they will have for the set?

This is only a guess but my guess is 4 waves. This would take us up to right before Christmas and I don’t think it would carry over to 2023.

ATeamHasNoName · 10-04-2022, 11:25 AM

Wave 2 already up. That 1/1 Vader looks sick.

Do rewards points still work?

Interesting to see some on-card autos in wave 2.

Nope. Reward points do not work. So should be a much lower print run on these.

Darn! I like the characters in wave 2 and wanted to use some points.

Hollywood42 · 10-04-2022, 07:46 PM

Oh wave 2 is loaded with great characters, looking forward to a few boxes of that one too

And the blue R2! And the green Yoda!!!!! Some seriously good looking cards here.

Edit: And add the red Royal Guard to the list of cards that are going to be awesome.

Dukefett · 10-05-2022, 03:33 PM

These will be my first 206 cards, looking forwards to getting them. Glad I remembered yesterday morning to put my order in for the first wave. I didn't now Wave 2 would be right behind it haha.

Found these sleeves and pocket pages on Amazon: https://smile.amazon.com/Tobacco-Car...s%2C231&sr=8-1

These were so hard to find during the height of the pandemic, glad to see they're back in stock. Think I have a few weird full size sleeves with a floating tobacco-sized pocket lol

Still no print run info on Wave 1?
