It is not all achy though, as I am getting the check back later screen on tap joy. Anyone else have this screen and have it resolved at a later time?
The Snowspeeder was tough to find. I got lucky on ebay by watching newly listed Hoth cards. Paid 11 bucks but completed the 8 card white set.

I think the awards card might be decent since half the issue probably won't be consolidated into winning sets. IMHO

Best to All,

I don't mind getting dupes on cards but I hate getting dupes in the exact same pack right next to each other.

I have had it with Topps' BS. I ask why 25 Orange Jinn were not released as advertised and I get an email copying the exact article that shows first 25 get one...no answer. I question ToppsSteve on Twitter about not releasing NB yesterday or having a calendar of when cards will come out...he blocks me.

If anyone wants to buy all my cards or a large chunk of them message me. Some highlights are:
Full Blue Hoth set
3 of the 5 faction Orange award cards
6 Purples - Boss Nass, Fett, Yoda, Jinn, Dooku, Crumb
All 8 greens released so far
Both NB whites
All Widevision, Connections, Bounty Hunters, Rebels, FC, Elite Soldiers etc.

Check out my account Metsfan1212. I also have close to 1M credits that will add some inserts this week.

I spend a lot of time on Bunt and SW: Card Trader.......I'm starting to think that Star Wars fans are much more rabid than baseball fans. Anyone else agree?

I'm really enjoying this app, I've found it very entertaining. Hopefully the new bunt will be just as good.

I did Bunt for a little and quickly bored of it and chasing gold pitchers etc. I like SW Trader a lot more but it is so time consuming to keep up with all the sets ect. Would be way better if there was consistency so you just check at X time and buy some packs then trade if you feel like it. I think that would get people to buy credits more too...not sure why Topps keeps it a secret.

hmmm, I dunno. I just take what it gives me, I play for enjoyment, not to collect every insert.

I think releasing packs at random times allow more people to get the tough inserts. Not annoucing a time probably keeps their servers from getting overloaded with everyone on at the exact same time.

Lol, people are gonna be pissed at the Hoth Creatures award. A measly 10,000 credits, no matter which color parallel set you had.

I had my sets split between 3 accounts. White account got 10K, Blue account got 10K, Red account got 10K.

Did anyone have all 3 color sets in the same account? What did you get? Just 10K total?

There is still an awards clarification announcement today, but I doubt it will address the creatures part of Hoth. In the Tauntaun article from a while ago SenatorSteve replied 10 minutes ago that there is "No award card for creatures."

/sad

Edit Edit: SenatorSteve in that same tauntaun article:
"@Everyone if you want the ultimate in awards, try to align all of your Planetary chase cards to the same parallel" Sweet!

Anyone have White Hoth Rebel Soldier, AT-AT Driver, and Snowtrooper?

I have a Blue Snowtrooper I'd like to put towards them, and some other inserts (not looking to give away the farm on these).

Lol took almost a full day again to sell out the GM Vader. Wonder how many parallels there will be for the Bounty Hunters today. 8k maybe?

Perhaps someone here knows. In the Hoth article it's all about the Vehicles, but then it says to have all 3 same-colored Combatants for the Vehicle reward tomorrow. So do we need the Combatants, or Vehicles?

Not going to bother, todays odds are extremely messed up. Plus they are running the garbage red/blue card now which is messing up the server. Can't access any cards. And so it begins, the decline in the fun again. Well it was fun while it lasted, topps won't fix issues anyway.

Default Possibly a tip if I guess right

The Light/Dark cards are based on the question and how you answer it. If you haven't done it yet, answer on the dark side. By that I mean pick the "Hey they went to the docking bay" answer and you might get access to the red/dark cards.
My guess is there will be less red because most people will answer by picking the misdirection choice. That got me the blue/light card but now I'm locked out of getting the red.
More players will choose the nice helpful answer imho.

Don't blame me,
VinnyH
PS: I got the light blue insert in my first pack also.

I like that there's a guy complaining over and over that he dropped 350k on the packs and didn't hit any. Wouldn't your brain tell you to stop somewhere around the 30k mark and just decide to trade for them?

I don't even want this card. Meh.
