Topps Star Wars Rebels

jadams · 02-25-2015, 05:53 PM

Anyone got anything?

I posted this in the '5 Star Wars products in 2015' thread:

I got a full base(100) and sticker(20) set. And I got 4 different of the 10 tattoos. Also pulled some holofoil base parallels but I don't care about that set. If anyone else is putting it together, hit me up. Maybe I can help you with your set.

EDIT: I only need a Chopper Tattoo to complete my set. I have base, foil parallel, and stickers to trade. Or will buy outright.

I only did 25. All b/w.

jadams · 02-25-2015, 07:52 PM

Sick!!

Love the black and white. Nice vintage classic look.

jadams · 02-25-2015, 07:53 PM

I did a few.

Here are my returns.

Nice, I'd love to get one in a pack!

Are these thicker card stock like Masterworks, or thin like Galactic Files?

gdelan1 · 02-25-2015, 10:36 PM

my guess would be thin, as it is retail packs.

Vargaman · 02-26-2015, 12:12 AM

eesh, at 1:421 for sketches, that means roughly 1:12 stores/gravity feed boxes.

Not sure what store will get 24 pack boxes or jumbo packs.

Vargaman · 02-26-2015, 02:19 PM

Bought 2 packs from a fresh box of 36 at Target and...nothing lol.

I got 2 stickers and 2 foil, I think they're like 1 foil per packs adn a sticker or tattoo per pack.

Really want a sketch card!

Vargaman · 02-26-2015, 02:23 PM

geez, already 1 hot pack on eBay for $99.
1 sketch sold for $35.

I also see someone listed there's blaster boxes, so I really wonder what those odds are. I feel like Topps should've put more sketches in those.

My local Wal-Mart didn't have any and half the Targets around that I called either had or didn't have them.

jason00 · 02-26-2015, 04:30 PM

Two Target stores I went to had nothing, the other one had some greasy looking guy with a ponytail cherry picking the packs (yeah, guy in Grafton, WI -- you look like a dirty grease ball). I was so disgusted by him that I didn't buy any there.

Typically the Targets in NJ get feeds and jumbos of all the SW retail. Never seen a blaster before, but I'll take a look next time I'm out.

Where in WI do you live around? I'm in the Milwaukee area (I'm not the ponytail guy haha).

Was he searchign for sketch cards or sports stuff? Like I said before, I'd be pissed if I went to a store and saw some guy grab up the sketch from searching.

With these likely being thin sketches that are the same thickness as the base cards, I don't get how they'd easily find them, unless the sketch cards ARE thicker or just slightly more sturdy.

I'm in Cudahy. The two with nothing yet were 27th and Layton and the one in Franklin.

He had a stack of basketball packs in front him, but was searching the Rebels packs. Not sure how he would find a sketch, but he was trying.

Spider-Fan · 02-26-2015, 08:08 PM

Those searchers can sniff out anything

I only ran into pack searchers once. There were 3 like 16 or 17 year old kids like stationed out going through EVERYTHING.

Well behind them was a box from the distributor that was open and they didn't notice it. Well I'm not dumb, I know how to find things. So, I ask them if they looked through this box already and they all turned around dumb founded. So I went a searched through for a second, one kid was like "can I look too?" and I said, no I got it, and found the jersey pack and walked off with it haha.

They were pissed!

That said, I LOVE Star Wars, and I did try searching the packs from 2 new boxes to no avail. If I got a sketch I'd keep it, but I'm not dropping $72 on 36 packs of crap with these odds.

I did buy 2 packs at each store I was at just for shiggles.

Honestly, the deadline for 'Rebels' was so close to the same time as the additional Masterwork one that I'm surprised a lot of artists even agreed to do any. Topps might've delayed the set a month or so and gotten more sketches for the product.

Vargaman · 02-26-2015, 10:35 PM

Local Star Wars collector found a full color Hera and posted to facebook

I like that droid.

Don't think the product will hit Canada so I am interested to do this set.

If someone have some cards, inserts and a nice sketch, LMK.

MankindRam · 02-27-2015, 10:18 PM

I did 14 cards for this release. Thought everyone would like to see.

Pablo · 02-28-2015, 09:27 AM

I did 25, 10 of them in b/w. And these are my returns.

richscards · 02-28-2015, 03:34 PM

I picked up a full gravity feed box today and 12 jumbo packs. Will post the break later tonight...
