Wednesday, Nov. 4, 2015 Recap

Oh I forgot to mention the other day there was an unannounced Connections card that dropped into the Boba Fett Packs. No idea if it has anything to do with a Series 2 marathon, maybe it was a card that got rejected and a disgruntled employee added it in before quitting and making off office supplies. Whatever the reason, it’s a weird one-off that will forever be an asterisk in the annals of SWCT lore. The card is a young Uncle Owen and Aunt Beru with a card count of 713 before someone noticed selling out.

Golden Fan’s Choice: If you were one of the lucky 100 that pulled a Golden Choice card when it was available back on October 15th today was your day to vote. Your choices (chosen by Topps) are: Space Slug, Admiral Ackbar, Zuckuss, and Luminara Unduli. The transmission was misleading because it read like you could pull the card today, when in fact it was already sold out. I think they just meant to highlight how the voting would work. Chalk up another one to sloppy copy and paste.

Journey to Star Wars: The Force Awakens:  Day 5 – 3 Green variants today: #17 – Jedi vs Jedi, #36 – Master vs Master, & #77 – The Final Duel.

Crimson Base Variant: Savage Opress.

Spectrum/Black Base Variants: Queen Amidala.

Star Wars: The Force Awakens: Angles: Looks like this is the successor to Helmets, Visages & Whiteout. It’s a four card set with varying odds and counts for each card. All four are available in the packs and there is a Master Pack (you get access by purchasing the 125k credit bundle) that guarantees an insert. Gotta love that. Oh and you only get access to one pack. But, you can buy another credit bundle to get access to another pack.

Smuggler’s Den Schematics: It’s a sandcrawler. This one uses water. Still nothing that uses food. Did something use wood?
