I don't know man, but I hit a great haul at a FL target two days ago. 24 SP's total in the haul along with candy lids, one hot box, 2 chrome, one reg refractor, and a bucnh of T&N, FB's.

How much did you buy? Blasters? Hangers? Fat Packs?

Still nothing here sadly. There literally wasn't a single baseball product at the Walmart yesterday.

Will try again tonight and hit Target this weekend to see if they've stocked yet.

Wish I would have just pre-ordered boxes before they got too high.

So I pulled what looks like a Devers foil and was wondering what it was. Doesn't look like the chrome I pulled (and isn't numbered) nor is it a hotmbox purple, since I got those too. Anyone help

I believe those are the metal parallels. Regardless of name, they aren't actually made of metal.

It's probably the "metal" parallel supposed to be limited to /70 but they aren't numbered so who knows.

5 Blasters and 10 hangers. Cleaned them out. I left the display loaded with single packs alone although I know they weren't searched. The stuff had just been put out.

Finally found 5 blasters at Walmart. They had some hangers as well, but I took the random 2018 HHN hangers they had for some reason today instead.

Ripped 3 blasters last night and got nothing but base. Not even a purple hotbox. I got 1 cloth sticker. I was shocked by not getting a single rookie of anyone. Guess j should have looked at the checklist.

Have fat packs always been $5.99?!? Rang one up at Target thinking they were $4.99 today so passed on them.

You're not claiming base only, correct?

You had SP's, inserts, etc, right? Also I am certain you missed the cloth stickers. They fall one per blaster.

Still nothing stocked at my local targets. Either I’m too late or target sucks.

Opened a couple of Hanger boxes and a fat pack. Nothing really of note, a single SP and a Paul Goldschmidt scratch game. I always like Heritage a lot, but it's a very hit and miss product to buy in small amounts. If it happens to get cheaper as the year goes on, I'll snag a bunch then.

I decided to go ahead and break a blaster case today that I found for a pretty solid price. My first case of any kind, ever!

I feel like I did pretty well and I definitely beat the odds. I ended up with a Benintendi French variation, Kolby Allard auto, 2 jersey relics (Bryant w/pinstripe and Greinke), 3 refractors /570 (Severino, Albies, and Adam Jones), Purples of Acuna, Harper, and Mookie among others, and 42 SPs including some big names (Acuna, Judge, Soto). I also assume there's a base set in there as well that I'm putting off sorting out.

Overall, very happy with the results!

Here's 5 blasters worth. Minus about 14 SPs. No Soto or Acuna sadly.
