As Tak said, I tried (despite an assurance in a few emails it would be released today) but Terry said they are holding it back for the Penrith show which is understandable.
Overall I like the work that's been put into this release...seems a lot more value and a lot more cards to collect. Given that each team has a Superstar Signature this could be one of the better releases I can think of!
Cheers

So if the 18 man representative insert set is the 18 players in the lineup for last years test against NZ and not this years then some players are at differant teams now, e.g.: Dave taylor was at souths when picked for australia last year but at Titans now so therefore would you collect his card in the titans set due to him being there in 2013 or the souths set cause he was technically a souths player in 2012?
If its last years team it would be as follows
Billy Slater (Melbourne Storm)
Darius Boyd (Newcastle Knights)
Greg Inglis (South Sydney Rabbitohs)
Justin Hodges (Brisbane Broncos)
Akuila Uate (Newcastle Knights)
Johnathan Thurston (North Queensland Cowboys)
Cooper Cronk (Melbourne Storm)
Paul Gallen (vc) (Cronulla-Sutherland Sharks)
Cameron Smith (c) (Melbourne Storm)
David Shillington (Canberra Raiders)
David Taylor (South Sydney Rabbitohs)
Sam Thaiday (Brisbane Broncos)
Luke Lewis (Penrith Panthers)
Daly Cherry-Evans (Manly Warringah Sea Eagles)
Ben Hannant (Brisbane Broncos)
James Tamou (North Queensland Cowboys)
Anthony Watmough (Manly Warringah Sea Eagles)
Matt Gillett (Brisbane Broncos) (18th man)
Yep, I'm struggling to think of a better release, tbh.
Still not totally sold on the look of the base set. Hope the parallels have different photos on them. And I hope it's more than a nine card base set per team.
All pretty minor quibbles. Well done ESP!!!
Given that this release has no redemption's or say a super high end card out of 40 / 50, I think that if there is a further higher end release towards the end of the season we could see something special. A premium pack release maybe a 32 card base set, Jersey Cards, Redemption's for balls, jerseys.........now that would be something nice to see.

So aside from the Future Stars & Sensations sigs we know about who else are we hoping for from our respective teams?
For the Raiders I would love to see Milford on the Future Star given he started the year in 20's but I reckon it might be Cornish.
As for the sensations I would happy with Croker, Ferguson, Fensom or Papali!!

i bet it's the pillow
ESP have been talking about a high end release for the end of this year for awhile now, hopefully it does eventuate.
So there's a new hologram on the back of each card and rumors of a high end exquisite release at the end of the year, not copying Upper Deck much hey
Shaun Johnson just posted about 200 cards signed for elite on his twitter account
not sure if any one else has mentioned this but Shaun Johnson has 180 odd cards in front of him in this pic but ESP said they are limited to 105 if i am correct ??????
130 mate future stars are 105
