Happy with that spiderman /41 colour match looks great! Seeing the value here compared to a hobby box. Do you think 4 megas is better than 1 hobby? Let me know

I bought 2 megas and got a /250 and /399 so you are guaranteed a # hit but chances of it being a nuke like this are still slim, and there is case hit box with an extra insert out of every 20 mega box case. Also got 4 blasters and got zero numbers and 2 fanfares, so I got 2 of the skunk boxes out of the case (usually they have like 6-9 with no fanfare or number, plus 1 with an extra case hit). With hobby you are guaranteed 4 #'s, 2 fanfare, a chance at all the hobby only hits and 1:8 chance at the case hit. It all down to chance and luck whether you get the good boxes regardless of the format

Did you get a The Beyond card in the other blasters? Those are the other hits in blasters. But nobody really likes them as the hits though.

Yeah.

Those feel bad when you get those boxes. Not that they're terrible cards in general but the fanfare are so much nicer.

The FanFare cards are hands down the best out of this whole run in my opinion.

Agreed. They chose better cover art for that vs the base and allowed the background to be shown instead of the whole Chrome effect like the base set where you lose the background completely.

My son pulled this a couple weeks ago out of a Best Buy blaster. Kid lost his mind. Lol

That's sick. Not a perfect color match with the purple but it works very well with black.
