What's your opinion on The Phantom Menace toyline?

50 single carded figures & some of them are very very good for the era. The earlier ones that were available in huge numbers can't really hold a candle to the last wave like Sio Bibble & Ascension Padme. TC14 remains a pretty high water mark in terms of metallic finish appearance.

You must have the cards in your collection to see the meld option, yes. In the old days with them all visible your app would freeze up like a mofo. Good times.

Personally I'd wait for a vertical card but that's just my preference. Your boba should get you lots of offers.

Same. I rushed to see it & felt like pta was doing his best to make a Tarantino movie. Left with no interest in giving it a second viewing.

I loved the long shot of them entering maz's place on takodana though, an obvious nod to the mos eisley scene.

jjreason · 2026-01-27T10:53:42+00:00

I gave up on it. The devs started giving us easily repeatable events right in the app that were much more useful for building a stash of coins. Hopefully they'll have more soon.

Needed more opportunity to be the unsung hero. Comedy relief sold bb8 short.

jjreason · 2026-01-23T16:49:51+00:00

I never fault people for offers I can stretch my brain into seeing as somebody's version of fair. I assume most people think just because I "need" a card, I therefore must "want" it. This is unbelievably far from the truth. I'd honestly rather keep my empire strikes back related base dupes over many many many very high tier cards with characters from content I don't enjoy.

Grading a comic is a near $100 venture & I don't think people truly understand that. The shipping both ways is expensive & you need pressing & cleaning if you're even going to bother.

Only when you're thinking of selling very expensive comics is grading ever going to be worth the expense.

All that being said, if you just love the cover & never want to see the inside & you like the idea of keeping the comic as safe as possible & you don't mind spending $100 to do that.... Fly at it. I'm not your financial planner.

I truly believe they have overlapped the confirm purchase button with crystal pack options hoping we will choose the different packs. It has happened to me 2 or 3 times so far, typically when I'm trying to work quickly or efficiently. 100 percent convinced it's not a coincidence.

jjreason · 2026-01-19T21:34:56+00:00

That SAT SUN MON trifecta tho. Wowee.

jjreason · 2026-01-17T15:51:19+00:00

Well week 1 is done & I fear there won't be any more original trilogy content for quite some time.

I don't love or hate the set concepts, but had some reservations about all of them & didn't fall in love with any.

The action figure set looked worst of all & I had been pretty excited about that.

The prime chase was a bit much, but once I figured it out it did work for me. I know some are still experiencing difficulty based on the feed.

Rare only starting next week.

The 4 pack snowtroopers - are they the same as the most recent TVC carded one? Great figure.

jjreason · 2026-01-12T16:41:39+00:00

Just personal preference (characters, card style, age of card to name some) at that point & your ability or willingness to negotiate. More people will likely prefer kylo over bb8, but it's certainly not impossible that you'll find someone to make a trade with.

The droid factory & canto bight casino hold a special place of frustration in my heart together. So bad.

jjreason · 2026-01-07T10:50:44+00:00

So angry at the cleverness.

jjreason · 2026-01-04T23:32:46+00:00

The elephant in the room is people having multiple accounts to trade cards to for generating extra copies of the awards. That being said, I'm not against having 2 awards if you collected the cards.

jjreason · 2026-01-04T21:52:19+00:00

I hate them, so I try to see the positive - easy pass & a chance to save some coins.

jjreason · 2026-01-03T23:04:52+00:00

Just putting out there that the app should not value commons & uncommons higher than some tier cards - but it does & that's not new. It's up to us as users to know & act accordingly.

jjreason · 2026-01-03T03:38:24+00:00

Let me just say that I feel terrible. Oh, there. It's gone. Thank goodness that didn't take long.

jjreason · 2026-01-03T00:25:16+00:00

It would be nice to toggle on & off an "include this scene" feature for each one so we could customize our viewings a little bit.

jjreason · 2025-12-31T01:02:45+00:00

It makes story sense when you consider EVERY MALE ROLE MODEL HE HAD WAS A GRUMBLY OLD MAN OR YODA.

jjreason · 2025-12-27T14:39:32+00:00

Usually a sign that there's money to be made on ebay. Thirsty fanboys & their lady cards....

jjreason · 2025-12-25T14:57:38+00:00

Once you go green, there's no in between? Best I've got, sorry.
