With less than a month away from release of this product, I haven't heard much about it due to all the talk about Masterwork along with preview info of Chrome Series 2.

I picked up a case of Illustrated ESB for $800, which looks to be the best price out there (that I could find anyway).

I really like the Panoramic sketch cards and Sketchgraphs in this product, but haven't heard about any checklist of which actors signed the Sketchgraphs or even which Artists are in this product.

It looks like they increased the number of hits from 1 to 2 for this product, which is a major plus. Also the Film Cel relics don't look to take up a majority of the hits either.

Based on the prelim numbers I have found about this product it looks like they will/have made about 8,540 boxes

Of the 24 hits in a case here are the averages you should get:
Printing Plates: 0.8
Panorama Sketches: 8
Regular Sketches: 2.8
Artist Autographs: 7
Sketchgraphs: 1.1
Film Cel: 4.2

Also the Gold Parallels of the base should fall about 1.4 per case

Overall the product looks solid, I really love the look of the base cards. It obviously won't be anywhere close to the hit Masterwork or Chrome were, but should be better than Illustrated: New Hope IMO

I would love to hear your thoughts about this product or if you know of any new information regarding this product.
