[@cloudsey420sufccards]

Fun rip bud 👍 Goodluck in the next one!

[@TheHockeyCardCollector24]

Thanks! I hope so, it’s been a decent pull so far

[@joes3-e13]

Nice looking cards, congrats to upper deck.

[@TheHockeyCardCollector24]

Yeah, these packs have been pretty good to me.

[@HCExplora]

Retail was a good option for collecting young guns but not anymore lol. 4 packs per box and only 1 young gun. 1 hobby box you get 12 packs and 6 young guns. you would need to buy 6 blaster boxes to get 6 young guns to match hobby box. at 30 dollars a blaster, thats 180 dollars for 6 young guns. or spend 150 on a hobby box for 6 young guns.

[@TheHockeyCardCollector24]

I hear ya, the math isn't great on these anymore.

FYI the Austin Watson CheckPoint is a black parallel :)

[@TheHockeyCardCollector24]

snagged it... thanks :) so many parallels to look out for

Walmart here in the U.S has some i picked up a mega box with 6 packs plus bonus and over size YG and a blaster with over size YG and only 3 packs so no actual regular blaster yet, nice rip

[@TheHockeyCardCollector24]

I’m surprised they haven’t released regular blasters yet.

[@perch0007]

@TheHockeyCardCollector24 same here! I think it might be an online only thing I could be wrong but my boxes were loaded! Uploaded video today I might post it earlier then what I have because how good it was.

Congrats on your PC hits

[@TheHockeyCardCollector24]

thanks so much

[@Bestsprotsedits]

I have 2 retail boxes

[@TheHockeyCardCollector24]

nice!

[@christabbernor2080]

The lack of Russia in international tournaments had made them pointless, these other teams don't want any of Vasy and Igor on the same team

[@TheHockeyCardCollector24]

Yup... but it is what it is

[@DirtyDan77]

Unfortunately retail is still way too expensive. $30 a blaster adds up real quick. They should start at $20 and go on sale for $15-$10 but that's no the world we live in :( Anyways great video! The dazzlers design this year pops way more in green than blue, so there's one upside to retail lol. Also, wasn't last year flagship just 3 packs per blaster?

[@HCExplora]

also only 1 young gun per box not worth it.

[@TheHockeyCardCollector24]

I'm with ya, it's definitely a tough one on the price.

[@HCExplora]

@@TheHockeyCardCollector24 lmao they're 40 dollars at walmart XD

[@DirtyDan77]

@@HCExplora yeah, with 50 young guns in the checklist, and only 3 or 4 of them are worth any money, what's the harm in guaranteeing 2 young guns per box?

[@HCExplora]

@@DirtyDan77 Hobby box is 12 packs with 6 young guns, blaster box 4 packs with guaranteed at least 1 young gun. you are not guaranteed 2 young guns per blaster box. I believe its 1:3 chance at getting a young gun. so even if you buy 5 blaster boxes with 5 guaranteed yg, and maybe 1 more because of pack ratio. you're still spending at the very least 150 dollars. the exact same you would be spending on 1 hobby box lol. dont bother buying retail, save your money and buy hobby box instead. probs get more bang for your buck this way.
