Fleer Brilliants Superman?

[ThatGuyPal]

I usually come here for my info on sets like this, saw a Mega today gonna watch some breaks but didn’t see anything searching on here.

Anyone know the word on this? Is it only retail? I’ve just seen Megas and different blaster variations and LCS wasn’t sure if there was hobby.

Set looks ok surprised there isn’t a post unless I missed it

apparently exclusively retail for Gamestop, Walmart, and Target according to a few rips I've seen on youtube.

Not exclusive. Hobby stores had a chance to order from distribution. I got 2 cases as an LCS.

I opened 8 mega boxes. For the price it is really fun break

The inserts look great

Secondary market seems to be 0 so far

Yeah my LCS got the Megas, think I’m gonna pick one up looks cool and Megas look like a few numbered per, will report back with my results

I would assume it will come to epack eventually with epack exclusive parallels as well.

Retail blasters always show up at my local Target stores a couple months after release if not longer. They're just now getting Looney Tunes blasters. The local Wal-Mart stores have mostly stopped carrying trading cards. That used to be my go-to spot for nonsports blasters like GPK pre-covid. Meijer gets some in but they mark everything up above retail these days.

I happened to be in the shop when they broke out a case of Megas, I grabbed 6. Pretty standard sans autos and sketches. Did not hit anything lower than #/499 but hit a SP insert in each box. Working on PYOC listing on eBay/singles.

It’s nice to see new DC stuff hit retail. I just am not too excited by this set. Looks kind of like another iteration of Annual. Are any of the inserts original art?

Yea I don’t think I see OA in this…looks like UD is taking some time building up to its first DC OA set…probably needs time for artist(s) to work on it then for manufacturing. I guess whenever the first Fleer Ultra or Masterpieces set hits we’ll have one.

One upside to this set is the price point…used to hobby boxes in marvel costing $150-300 or who knows what Chrome is going for, like $500. Nice to have affordable comic cards even ones like Annual.

This doesn't seem any different from your average UD set except there is no hobby. Feels exactly like a Marvel Annual release except no 100 dollar hobby boxes. If you're simply saying its nice because its not 500 dollars like Chrome Hobby I agree, but based on the fact that there are 4-5 figure singles coming out of Chrome I think prices seem to be inline with the market.

Looking over the checklist for Superman the biggest card is going to be what..1-2k? In that case it would be product suicide for them to try to sell these boxes any higher than they are going for now.

It looks like a nice set for children.

Any card that says Superman stands for "Truth, Justice, and the American way", I will buy.
