IMO, I still say we try for today and Yoda. We hope for the best that Topps screwed up the coding and it still works today/tomorrow only. There is absolutely no downside to trying, as the original owner of the gold will get it back and keep it anyways. So they would get the award no matter what. We just need a gold yoda to try.

The award has to be available to be unlocked though, and the award isn't available.

For their:
Gold Luke Skywalker (current print run of 974) ( I have 0)

I know my side is all dupes, but more gold lukes will be opened, does that affect the trade? Should I take the trade and run, or should I decline it?



Also, I really need Gold Yoda and Vintage Han! I have Gold Mace Windu, Green Ventress, Tarkin Vintage, plus a few other things. Help?

I wouldn't trade good inserts for Gold unless it's to flip the gold quick. There will be 1000s if each in no time.

If having the set unlocks it, the original owner would know that. I guess they could screw it up but I don't think it happens.

Other than greens, I'm giving up on award cards. Just sold my orange qui-gon for $100 on eBay. Considering getting rid of some of the purples too.

Go for it and have fun!

While it was nice to loan out and get the purples, it completely took the value out of them for me. I was spending $10 a day on some points which I had no problem doing, $10 is a steal compared to any other form of gambling I could be doing lol. The ability to loan was making it pointless for me to spend a penny in the game. I was actually buying the high point packs and pulling and trading for the yellows and gold and then people were just loaning them out for nothing.

I'm very happy they changed the rules, I was honestly considering stopping if it kept up. Now my only complaint is a theory I have

The lower your "force score" the more likely you are to pull rare inserts/awards from packs. Today I opened an account on my old iPhone just to test this. My main account I have nearly every card, so my score is very high. I sat on both phones and bought the green packs at the exact same time. On my good account, it took me 123 packs before I hit the green Aasaj. On the new account I hit 3 in 30 packs. I stopped after 30 and kept going with the good account. Then the hoth insert. Opened 25 hoth packs on each account, on good account I got 1 base and 1 blue. On new account I got a gold, two reds, a blue, and two base.

This is a small sample obviously, but I strongly believe that this is the case, and the good accounts are being throttled by topps to give new players the rare inserts to get them going. I'm all for getting new players in the game, but I shouldn't be punished because I've put time and money into it.

Anybody know if their gonna release anything else today

I think you are right, but it might be new accounts versus low scores that get better cards. And while it sucks cause I really was hoping to get a Yoda Purple, I agree I would rather they be really tough than (2000). Where is the Purple Crumb by the way?

I am selling my Purples, Vintage and insert dupes if anyone is interested. Below Ebay on most. I'm still going for inserts because they look really cool but the parallels don't get me excited unless it's Yoda or Clone War characters. No Ahsoka anywhere to be seen, what the heck.

How do people find this out? FB page? Someone warned about the Green Ventress today on the chat.

The green ventress there was a notification on my phone about an hour ahead of time. Last week on Thursday all they had was vintage and hoth, today we've already gotten vintage and hoth and the green. Not sure if there will be a new card tonight unless it's a new insert of some kind.

Guesses when purple crumbs will show up

I pulled this today. Very rare!

I was wondering that too...

[sideout1212]

I guess the purple Crumb is now lol.

Now we know why people hoarded the FA Teasers...Force Score matters now.

[cardinalfan13]

Have multiples of the same card count that's Bs

I was really getting worried about the purple Crumb. At least the pack "finally" showed up.

Thats insane about the multiple Force cards. How much "Force" does a TFA single card add to your score?

And loaning or not...has anyone pulled the Gold Yoda yet?! Or any lucky SOBs pull 2 Gold Yodas and want to trade it for a tone of things from me?

[Bryanjs14]

I'm pretty ticked about the force score. I am missing FOUR cards (gold Yoda, a hoth gold, at-st yellow, and maul black) and I have EVERY single other card released so far. So to see people with force awakenings inserts that I was giving away to new members so they could complete set get an orange that now I have to aggressively trade for is just wrong

[GFD18]

So I accidentally traded a Gold Mace Windu away for utter garbage...I thought the Windu looked yellow and it must have been when I woke up this morning...half asleep. Arrggg. Oh well. Someone got the deal of a lifetime, but at least it was a duplicate gold windu.

I still dont have gold yoda, BUT...I finally got Vintage Han! WOOOT!

[Vargaman]

I really don't get this app. Half the packs I open have multiples of the same card in them (i.e. 2 whites of the same card) and I've never gotten a green, yellow, or gold.

[cardinalfan13]

After what seems like 100 packs I got gold yoda

[sideout1212]

Anyone going after the leader board Orange? Think they will change how force score is calculated?

Green are only in special Green packs, Gold are only in Vader Master Packs (I think), and Yellows are just kind of tough to come by.

At the time of me posting this response, there are only ~118 of the gold yoda in circulation. That is EFFING CRAZY!

I'm so jealous. Congrats.

Geez, how many you really spend? I had a week of credits saved up and bought 20k creds only to pull 1 Gold of Leia which I already had . I should've waited for the inserts to come out so I can get better value out of the packs.


Anyone else get good offers out of the Free creds? I got the Sylvan 80k to work. I saw an offer for 1.2m creds, can't remember what it was for though. Definitely considering the 200k+ offers for FanDuel and NFL Shop right now.
