My take after finally handling the release;
I really like the base set cards - what Elite should be like in terms of quality.
I really like the Charter Class white and the fact that they are not parallels of the base set. I've certainly found some of the snippets on the early players interesting.
The CCC are misnamed - should be CCBA or CCBS (brushed aluminium/steel). Someone at TLA has obviously never had a car with a REAL bumper bar to know what CHROME actually looks like! The only redeeming feature - they are serial numbered. I feel sorry for our #036 collector though (no, haven't got any!)!
Disappointing that you can't get a set of PS or FF in a case. The PS are a nice change in card type but the FF don't spin my bells at all as they feel/look too much like current cheap low level Elite/Traders inserts.
FFS are really nice but the higher inserts are a bit dull - not that I've handled an Immortal Redeemed sig card yet! At least there a couple of Manly legends to keep me
PS: just as well these are not generally available over the counter as box searching would fairly easily pick out the rare INDS packs. Reminds me of 2012LE Jersey Inserts in that respect.
