Picked up 5 blasters from Wally World. No huge hits, but interesting not was that every one of the five blasters had three SP's in them. Got four chromes, and two were Royals so that was a bonus for me.
I echo what Craig in Ohio just said. I couldn't find any Heritage either but Walt does need to leave some goodies for the rest of us! Oh well, according to UPS I'll be ripping hobby cases tomorrow!
Wow those team rookie chrome cards really pop nice, very sharp. To add to my heritage anxiety (Or lack of heritage) a snow storm my delay my boxes by a day.
I'm here. Finally decided to go the case route. Made more sense than overpaying for 5-6 boxes a ton of retail and still not completing a set. My case should be here tomorrow. Dallas is dry on retail at least the 4 Targets and Wal Marts I checked last night. Will check again today.
Was that Olt/Profar card a regular Chrome or a refractor Kevin? I'm interested if it's a regular Chrome.

Good to see you Matt, sorry it is a refractor. I hope you pull something huge!
From what I have seen the chrome are pulling in nice shape. I can't say that about the base cards. It always seems to be that they chromes and black chromes have decent centering also. Black refractors are about 3 times as hard to pull than autographs this year.
Got a blaster and two rack packs and these were my hits:
David Wright Refractor / numbered to 581 or so. Matt Kemp (no. 450) Venezuelan parallel Alex Gordon Clubhouse Collection patch card Josh Hamilton Blue Parallel (Walmart)
Got 3 high number short prints from the blaster and 1 from one of the rack packs. A couple of Flashbacks, one New Age Performer and a Then & Now. No Memorable Moments, Bryce Harper, Trout, Bundy RC or Profar RC.
Now to wait for my Heritage boxes to arrive later this week.

We will have to see how it goes this year, but usually a case leaves you about 2-4 cards short.
Trying to build a set through retail has to be really tough...the short print seeding doesn't appear to have any rhyme or reason...
I'm on vacation in Arizona for some spring training games. I found four blasters and a full, unopened retail box at Walmart on 75th Ave in Tolleson. The biggest hit was a Pumpsie Green blue auto. Also got one refractor, four chromes, and nineteen high number sp's. I have a case coming from Blowout; hope it's home when I get back.
its not like Archives, but its not like WWE either (which is what their supposed to feel like) . its not quite as horrible as 2012 Hi #, but its pretty bad

Ok, I wasn't sure if you were trading or selling. Honestly, I don't have much to trade as I do not open a lot of packs/boxes. If you don't end up trading and want to sell it at some point, maybe we can work something out.

Also a Pence mini numbered to 100 and a Mariano Venz parallel.

The two big hits.
Every case has a purple refractor hot box. 1 purple per pack and VERY fun to open when you are hitting guys like this
These are variations. The Molina was not on topps checklist...hmmmm

I picked up 5 blasters and a few rack packs. No big hits, but did ok overall. Something to pass the time on a snowy day in IL.
2 Chrome
5 Chrome refractors
2 Black Back
1 clubhouse collection relic (adam dunn)
1 red border card per blaster.
Have not gone through the number of SP's yet.
I am looking for Cardinals black back cards if anyone pulls any.
