Already got a complete set of 9596 metal they are very nice, would love to get a box of 93-94 Finest but the only one I've seen recently is over $200 on ebay.
Chronology doesn't have any printing plates but yeh it will include 1/1s later on. What I've heard is that a collector, after the master set too, already has a lot of the 1/1s so we'll just have to wait and see in the future.
