It’s getting to the point where it’s not surprising to read how miserable you are in all of your posts. Maybe find another hobby?

Hey enjoy your bright shiny future where you buy into breaks and watch other people open boxes! I'm sorry that being unable to buy something I really wanted resulted in negative posts.

Just wait. Have you heard of fractional ownership?

Their misery is justified with releases like this.

Fanatics did the same crap with Antiquities last year and as a result I basiclally went all-singles in 2025. There is prob gonna be a slightly better shot getting a Smugglers at the boosted price (1 min sellout instead of 15 second sellout), but the Fanatics FOMO release model should always get called out. How can you avoid being cynical with their methods?

Any thoughts what BO will charge per box/case? I see the floor on ebay seems to be around $515 per box.

I'm sure they'll start high and drop it over time rather than the other way around.

Topps will have more available on release day at a slightly higher price than preorder, but I imagine those will be just as difficult to get.

2 Hobby Box max via EQL. Somehow makes this release more annoying.

First look at Han Solo Sketch Autos on ToppsPop IG account.

They look real nice. Shame it was near impossible to buy.

Even if you bought, these are near impossible to pull.

I was able to grab one, so I'll see what the boxes yield on YT before making a decision to open or sell.

How they putting "Stellar" cards in this product, yet only having one pack, 30 cards?

I imagine they'll use one of those clear 50ct card cases like they do for some of the higher end products like Dynasty (I think that's the product) but that would mean the Stellar cards wouldn't be encased?

Has anyone seen any pics of the packaging interior? I've only seen pics of the box exterior.

I got my box today, and this should answer some questions.

Here's my post on reddit because apparently you can't upload pics here except as attachments.
My Smuggler's Outpost box

1) Cards come in a jewel case with a piece of paper on top and the foam on the bottom. No encased cards.
2) Format is: A bunch of base finest cards on top, then 4 inserts, 3 numbered cards, 2 hits (sticker autos or sketch card), on card auto, then upside down are 3 chrome black base cards and 2 finest refractors.

I'm happy with my box - none of the case hits or monsters, but an on card stranger auto, full color sketch, and a /5 are a solid top end.

Thanks for sharing and congrats on the hits! Took me a bit to realize the Kuiil and Chewie cards weren't sketches lol. Can't wait for mine to arrive.

Thanks! Yeah when I first picked up chewie the sketch card came with it... I thought I had a ridiculous chewie sketch lol. But those are the "Stellar Art Card" reproductions.

These look pretty good. The on card autos are going to be a chase. Nice change from the constant sticker dump in every release Fanatics throws at us.

For sure. I usually don't like a lot of the Star Wars sets outside of Galaxy but this one surprised me. Happy with the Manny auto (and the sketch over a second sticker auto) considering how weak some of the checklist is.
