Tigers probably wasn't the best choice to showcase the common card, kinda like when they showed off the Parallel Specials in 2015 Traders with a Woods card. So are the commons going to be a team colour or just black?
As someone who is going to buy their first ever box I also like the idea of a box card. So if you buy a case you get 10 and then the parallel case version?
Also, I tallied the number of individually numbered cards and there's 9,124 available. 16 League Sensations x 130, 16 Young Guns x 130, 32 Run & Gun x 100, 4 Road To Finals Signature x 50, 4 Road to Finals x 150, 4 Road To Finals 1/1, 16 Mojo Ruby x 40, 16 Mojo Sapphire x 20. If box run is 6,000 like previous years that's 1 per box. Not bad

Yes we are 5 weeks from release but the chat and buzz on here and the Facebook card pages is buzzing. So many positive comments from collectors who were undecided about even collecting this release not to mention new collectors.
ESP are the sole producers of NRL cards so they can't be concerned about their concepts being flogged off. From memory ESP didn't want to let info out early to stop pre-listing. One of the worst offenders for that is now an ESP preferred seller so surely that can't be an issue any longer.
Politics aside I think everything depicted on the flier looks good and I can't wait to get stuck in.
Well I was ready to sit this one out but these are the freshest designs and most attractive looking inserts and high-end cards that I've seen yet from ESP.
I reckon they're bluffing, they'd be high-fiving and punching the air after that flyer went live.

Anyone know when the Newsagent Stockists list goes live? I plan on picking up my box from a Newsagent and I want to know which ones near me will have it before I go out to buy. 2014 and 2015 had completely different stockists in my area
No idea mate but I would be keen to know when it goes live. As a Newsagent I have no idea if we will receive any, probably wont know until we receive a delivery manifest a day or 2 before the release date.
I am assuming G&G will be handling the distribution for newsagents in which case I guess they would allocate on previous sales, then again ESP may just dictate where they are to go.

many 1/5s if obtaining a master set
Including 3 signatures
I have been critical of the forced change to team set collecting but at least they have made it interesting. I'm very nervous about obtaining a sapphire mojo personally; that could dictate my eventual feelings about the set, but that is personal. From a hobby point of view this looks to be a top release.
I can't even begin to express how important it is that the mojos don't look like a standard parallel this year. They are so much better
Those captain's look really good
And the kicker...THIS RELEASE COSTS LESS THAN LAST YEAR!!! How much of a rip off was 2015 Elite!
also on the second page it mentions a printed flyer comes with the albums! Another step in the right direction!
It's great having these to go along with the collection
The cards look outstanding this year!
My only grief is that those sapphire parallels are going to cost a fortune
And it may be a while before some teams get a patch card if its only finals teams.
