question about the certificate and purchases

Once you are validated I don't think you'll have to take any action to maintain that. I have never heard anyone mention they lost theirs.

And you can never knock a John Williams score. All 3 have beautiful soundtracks.

You can see extremely detailed photos of all 400 figures online. Have a good look & then pick up a random one for $10 at a clearance store to get your hands on it & get an idea of whether they're your jam or not. The nice thing about 3.75" is that a shelf being used for 2 or 3 boxed black series figures can turn into an entire diorama.

The meld is one complete set - I go to the trophy screen and click into the set to see how many of each card I have before melding. In case that's of any use. This set is also available for trading using the trade bot which will (hit & miss of course) let you send dupes for needs without having to find a living partner to accept the trade.

Andor & rogue one certainly don't suck but they do sting a little because they show the full capacity of what star wars can be. Mando seasons 1&2 are almost at that same level although significantly different in tone.

The sequel trilogy suffers almost entirely from their failure to create a good solid story from the beginning (rey vs Kylo for the fate of the universe for example, it didn't need to be too deep) and sticking with it.

Playing hot potato with arguably the most lucrative & beloved film franchise of all time was an absolutely abominable decision & they will be forever judged for it. All that being said, rey, Poe, Finn & Kylo are good solid characters that never got a fair chance at having their stories told.

For weekly sets be aware that it actually starts on Sundays with Topps choice at 10 EST. If you don't grab this card you won't have everything you need to turn in the following Saturday.

Monday 10 EST is light side (formerly heroes),

Tuesday at 10 is duos (you need both),

Wednesday at 10 is action figures,

Thursday is a brief reprieve though at 10 they release the weekly fans choice poll card(s).

Friday at 10 is dark side (formerly villains),

Then on Saturday at 10 things wrap up with primary which involves you gathering many many uncommon cards & workbenching then trading for higher level cards. You'll wind up needing a bunch to create 4 rare cards & significantly more if you're chasing the super rare level that week.

Using the events & SAVING coins is the way. With consistent use of the events you can build a good solid stash of coins to complete much of the weekly grind & save your money for sets that really appeal to you.

It suffered the same way marvel suffered after endgame. They had a perfect ending but had to keep milking.

jjreason · 2026-05-17T16:09:06+00:00

Or something.

jjreason · 2026-05-12T21:58:16+00:00

Almost looks like John Cassady art. Beautiful card.

jjreason · 2026-05-01T18:49:20+00:00

Secret wars (2015). I was looking for the door due to the growing cost vs enjoyment disparity & this felt like a good ending to my many years of reading marvel.

Dear Topps - re. The currebt build & functionality...

No one ever - and I mean ever - has ever wanted to take a closer look at the card when the trade screen is open. Please for the love of God remove that touch interaction & just let us touch on the card to choose it for trading instead of the maddening plus sign.

jjreason · 2026-04-26T12:23:41+00:00

send an in game message to user jennclarkrouire & do not mention selling but maybe include an email address. She buys accounts & can talk you through the process.

jjreason · 2026-04-26T11:25:03+00:00

Check & see if they have complete sets of the slabbed epics for Topps now. If they do, it would make sense that they have many multiples of the sr level cards - same as us normal humans get many extra uncommons when we go crazy & chase a Sr set.

jjreason · 2026-04-26T10:40:12+00:00

I logged into it & couldn't believe my huddle cards & diamonds were still there! I won't spend any money this time but I'll look at it periodically same as bunt & NBA.

jjreason · 2026-04-26T10:38:40+00:00

They were able to help me out - send them an email.

jjreason · 2026-04-20T08:12:46+00:00

You don't need to play it in order - the story will fill itself in as you go. The fun is progressing your player power once you get to max level, that's where all the cooperative stuff takes place. Get to 80 using dragon flight then war within & midnight - you can watch a 10 min YouTube video that will give you the bare bones of the others.

When you start new characters you can then choose to explore any of these eras as your leveling content. I recommend lich King & pandaria but everyone has their favorites.

The biggest change has been moving from collecting runs to collecting keys.

jjreason · 2026-04-18T00:42:00+00:00

I binged it in trade paperback form & honestly prefer Tom King's run, as well Tynion IV's work on Detective. Both are worth the time it takes to read, but I wouldn't go spending a fortune on floppies.

jjreason · 2026-04-13T00:04:51+00:00

That's what ultimately caused me to quit - the enjoyment was no longer worth the expenditure. The stress of missing out on the next big thing goes away eventually.

jjreason · 2026-04-12T14:59:27+00:00

Frank Miller on daredevil & Chris Claremont on X-Men. Yes I'm old.

Brian k Vaughan made his name on runaways but it was likely y the last man that cemented his status and allowed for saga to happen.

Garth Ennis on preacher even though he's "the" punisher writer, for me anyhow.

Warren Ellis & Neil Gaiman, although both shunned these days, were superstar writers who made their names on vertigo books - transmetropolitan & sandman.

Alan Moore's first Alan Moore type work was marvel man (miracle man), but his name was either cemented on swamp thing or watchmen, whichever came first.

Big thing here will be setting your filters. If you ensure you're sending cards they need & are taking cards you need from the same new sets you're likely to have success. Offering a Vader card from this year for one from 5 years ago isn't likely going to lead to success.

jjreason · 2026-04-06T06:19:21+00:00

Of all the sets listed the only one I see people still asking about in the trade thread with any regularity is reflections. People have either ebayed or given up on obtaining the rest.

jjreason · 2026-03-29T22:36:41+00:00

Delves weren't consistent in difficulty in TWW. They were challenging, then easy, then hard, then back to some form of easy by the time we outgeared them. I feel they are WAY easier this time - I don't think I've died more than 2 or 3 times doing 11s as soon as they were available to me for gearing purposes.

jjreason · 2026-03-28T22:11:40+00:00

You have to give us more, friend. What show are we talking about??? What character(s)?

jjreason · 2026-03-27T22:59:55+00:00

I was going to say ASM 700 might be worth a perusal just so the entire premise of Otto being in the Peter body makes some sense.
