Panini Revolution 17/18 Chinese New Year parallel?
 

Hi guys, can you please explain to me what the CHINESE NEW YEAR Revolution parallel looks like, i see it in all the checklists but can't figure out what it looks like. I've searched for it on eBay and everywhere i could think of but no luck yet. Am i missing something?

In the Panini preview there are 10 versions shown of the base but there should be 11.

Parallels (in addition to regular base) :

• Astro
• Chinese New Year
• Fractal
• Galactic
• Groove
• Impact
• Cosmic – /100
• Sunburst – /75
• Cubic – /50
• Lava – /10

The Chinese New Year is on Friday, February 16.

Perhaps a Panini Rewards site exclusive as don't they refresh their rewards on Friday's?

Good point. I’m marking my calendar. Be interesting to see the foil design for this. I have points rotting away so this would be worth using if you’re right.

Had a friend bust some of this today and pulled these.....not mine and not for sale.

Retail release

Revolution is getting a retail release?

Bunch of the chinese new year on ebay.

Are these simply a retail unnumbered insert?

Australia only? Could be quite limited if that’s the case. All those listings are together.

Weird that they are all from Australia.

I just emailed the seller for info, the box he shows is red and blue. Nice parallel.

An Aussie on FB has Chinese New Year for sale, they are from retail packs in Australia.

12 box cases, 8 packs per box........1 Rookie and 1 Chinese New Year Parallel Per Pack.

The box I saw busted on video had a Simmons, Ball & Tatum Chinese Red Parallels in it.

Havent seen any other for sale anywhere.......could these be really rare?

1 Chinese New Year parallel per pack. I think you answered your own question on the rarity.

Anyone seen these around?

There some on eBay

I asked about these the other day and this is what I received back "Chinese New Year Boxes were built for international release. They come in a red box, and each pack contains one red Chinese New Year parallel. They were sold to our foreign distributors."

Here's the box.

Anyone buying any boxes? Same price as US but shipping is $$$. I’ve see inner cases for sale with free shipping.

where can i buy these boxes from?

Ebay or fly to Australia.

Someone needs to put the Thad young on eBay so I can buy it

better deal than the US boxes?

Gotta ask, you contacted Panini and that was their response? If so, I'll wait for more to hit the market because I'm not paying the asking price or ridiculous shipping charges from AU for common inserts.
