I was excited for this set but the price is tough to swallow. Four autos per box seems great but you know most of them are going to be minor guest stars. And does anyone know if you can get the incentives by buying the required number of cases from a retailer like Blowout? Or do you have to go directly to Rittenhouse or a distributor?
