as stated earlier in the thread its supposedly rebel sport, but im yet to see any in the wild yet. plenty of revolution still available

IIRC production run is up (albeit by a currently unknown amount) but the quantity of Legends available is the same. Makes sense they aren't being pulled as frequently

massive win on the starter pack today

I dunno if that made a difference, I saw NRL and AFL cards at Coles last year. I think Kmart are just probably pulling back on trading cards. Apart from the few that already carry nothing it seems dire - the Lorcana is always on clearance, the AFL stuff sat there all year (albeit I'm in NSW, it...

interesting. definitely easier to get as my local kmart has stopped stocking cards entirely

Newsagents have the Fan faves parallel which means the kmart exclusive is the rising stars

seen at least one newsagent with their stuff out a day early

looks like Showcase are the hobby starter card, given those are the least popular and hobby are the hardest to find at retail that may be for the best

Where are the Vegas being retailed? Just club stores or B&L/Rebel/etc?

seen my local EB Games taking preorders on Traders too so they're definitely expanding heavily on the retail front

I wonder if they're going to do these again for 2025. The figures themselves seemed to sell pretty well but most of the accessories you couldn't give away, especially for certain teams. I wonder if the paper bags played any part in sales. Being able to pick players and complete the whole set at...

They're based on the club's end of year Player and Rookie of the year awards. He got rookie of the year for the Wahs last year

They're the bonus cards in the Starter Packs, presumably the ones the newsagents get for Fan Faves specifically. If it's anything like previous years the lowest rarity (Blue) will be unnumbered and the highest (Red) to /100, with the other two somewhere inbetween 100-200 each respectively. Also...

So the triple starter pack rumour was true. One set has Rising Stars Bronze/Silver/Gold One has Fan Faves Blue/Green/Purple/Red One has Showcase Bronze/Silver/Gold/Titanium Based on last years' Retail/Hobby I presume the Hobby will be the three-layered one again and the other two will end up at...

I think Traders and Elite both have some really nice "equity inserts" - Rising Stars, STR, Club Heroes, New Recruits, etc. Maybe 1 or 2 rotating themed sets per release would pad that count out nicely. As for the non-team sets I definitely think Dally M is a good one, bringing back the...

Not sure where the rhyme or reason on these is sometimes. I know a few notable names (Sam Burgess, etc) were left off due to "lateness" but they crammed Cam Smith in with the retiring class of 2021 despite him not being contracted or playing a game that season

On the topic of "team equity" in the inserts as well, I believe that TLA are mostly appealing to the breakers, with certain teams already being hard enough to sell spots for it'd be even more difficult if a team only had a handful of "hits" and could completely whiff in any given case

Kinda mixed on the Select news. On one hand I have heard the horror stories of the membership system and trying to get limited releases through them but the card stores themselves mostly prefer dealing with Select and are optimistic it'll be at least a little more accessible to them, especially...

Converters is absolutely used in terms of goalkicking - "conversion attempts" etc, which given Reynolds as the featured card, the % in the corner and being 1 per team is definitely what the subset is based off. Pretty standard affair for traders as usual, not too much to complain about. Remains...

I see the logic in doubling the pack price by doubling the commons per pack but it seems there's only the three unnumbered insert sets basically so it doesn't really translate. That being said the base and parallels do look pretty good

not sure why they didnt just keep doing it, was incredibly useful for finding "like for like" patches when it was up. the corey oates i hit was pretty solid, double colour AND double material, managed to use the number tracker to swap it for a nice red/green burgess one

I swear most of the booklets coming out of the USA release are also in boxes that have the "case hit" (Clearys, LSTs, Spotlight, etc). Very hard ask to sell boxes at $500 each when 80% of the time you're paying double the price of a regular box to only snag the 2 Stars & Stripes. Maybe the...

yeah if i remember correctly all the 1 of 1s have looked basically the same as that since they started in 2016 - player portrait on the top half and emblem patch on the bottom

At the very least the quotes seem to be right...

As a primarily Souths collector I was annoyed at the breakout being the hit in my box given it was Titans NRLW meaning it was already hard to move as is, but I also wasn't even interested in the Hawkins one given he won't even be at Souths next season. Mind you my box also pulled through with...
