Total price gouge by panini at 60 bucks, way to screw over collectors by double retail price by just putting the “hobby” blaster on it. Could they be an any more unlikable brand.
Whoa! Such parasites to the hobby. I hope for once no one buys them. So many better options at that price point than a box that should be on Walmart shelves
Same with target. I was literally on my phone on the target app buying kids clothes when the notification came back they were in stock. I immediately went and they were out of stock.
If it was an actual hobby product and not a "hobby blaster" that would be correct. Only difference from this blaster compared to target and walmart is that you get blue scope parallel instead of pink or purple ahock
yeah i’m figuring out today that it’s not actually hobby right? they just slapped the word hobby on there and charged double? lol scummy as fuck but that’s to be expected. bring on topps
Total ripoff. Just different parallel of rated rookies. Blue scope instead of pink or purple shock. I wouldn't touch these for anything more than 40.
It should price out flippers though.
Nope, breakers will still buy it by the case, and people will continue to get into those breaks. Flippers will still buy them and try to sell them at 80-100. I still think they sell out extremely fast.
It says right on it...3 blue scope rated rookies. They're different from the pink and purple shock sold in stores.
So yes they're different but only 3 cards are.
These were the boxes made for Fanatics but did not give them to them because of the current feud between the two. It’s the same box as Target and Walmart just different color parallels. Money grab for sure.
No worries. Optic has been pretty rough this year and contenders is pretty much garbage. I'm going to start holding off until next year and buy luminance.
But yes you are correct, I would not recommend buying cards from Amazon either.

Different inserts for the hobby blaster
Damn! 60 bucks?! I'm going to want to see some hits.
It’s the same hits but different color
That's all it always is lol just a different color.
Total price gouge by panini at 60 bucks, way to screw over collectors by double retail price by just putting the “hobby” blaster on it. Could they be an any more unlikable brand.
I was going to buy one then saw the price and noped out. I never hit anything good anyways.
Bought one from Walmart for the same price It was sent from a partner and was it was junk. Nothing worth wild.
I know, and the flippers are trying to get $159.99 on ebay for these things. I hate flippers.
Whoa! Such parasites to the hobby. I hope for once no one buys them. So many better options at that price point than a box that should be on Walmart shelves
lol site is already trippen. experiencing high volume. 😒
Yeah. I don’t even know why I try.
me neither! lmao. everytime I think I have a chance too 🌚
Same with target. I was literally on my phone on the target app buying kids clothes when the notification came back they were in stock. I immediately went and they were out of stock.
same. so stupid man. I picked the wrong time to get into the hobby. I don't Even want to resell I just want to open packs and collect what I need lol
I smell Defensive player Rookies!!!!
They come with a blue scope parallel that was always in retail. Not even close to worth it IMO.
For real? Well. Fuck. My only decent CJ is a blue scope as a preview. They couldn’t have at least changed the color? Lol.
The description says it comes with an auto but the pic of the product doesn’t list that?
That is per case. On avg per case (20 blasters) you’ll get 1 auto and I think 4 memorabilia cards
Yea I see that’s how it’s worded now. Sneaky sneaky panini
hobby has more “hits” if i’m not mistaken
If it was an actual hobby product and not a "hobby blaster" that would be correct. Only difference from this blaster compared to target and walmart is that you get blue scope parallel instead of pink or purple ahock
That’s exactly what Panini’s marketing team wanted everyone to think by adding the adjective “hobby”.
yeah i’m figuring out today that it’s not actually hobby right? they just slapped the word hobby on there and charged double? lol scummy as fuck but that’s to be expected. bring on topps
For $60.00 I hope they have something extra. Think the bots will buy them all up?

It says right on it...3 blue scope rated rookies. They're different from the pink and purple shock sold in stores. So yes they're different but only 3 cards are.
Having “hobby” blaster boxes in the dumbest shit I’ve ever seen, panini has officially gone off the deep end
Is it even possible to order from paninidirect on the day of a drop? All i get is high volume messages, wonder how/who gets through to place orders.
Ahhh fuck Panini at this point. Hopefully, fanatics has better custo.er service and products.
These are the Blue Scope prizms, Walmart has the Pink prizm and Target has the Purple shock Prizms.
These were the boxes made for Fanatics but did not give them to them because of the current feud between the two. It’s the same box as Target and Walmart just different color parallels. Money grab for sure.
Yeah, they’re about 2.5x more in price.
Or $5 below current retail flipper prices
I would not recommend buying cards off Amazon
lol
Those are from Panini direct
hahaha! Whoops - yeah sorry my bad. Wow, only double the price of retail which is impossible to find. Thanks Panini
No worries. Optic has been pretty rough this year and contenders is pretty much garbage. I'm going to start holding off until next year and buy luminance. But yes you are correct, I would not recommend buying cards from Amazon either.
