Good luck cancelling that one. I cancelled immediately and got a call from my cc 3 months later asking if it was authorized. I still see the charge on my account about every other month followed by a credit from my cc a day later.

A good Rey day for me. Rey green, Rey Die-Cut Navy(sold out fast at 3000) and white, red and blue Rey Portraits.

Sad to see Topps make the Rey Gold such an extreme melding process. I was sitting on 200+ whites and they added all the other colors. The orange are limited and you need 3 of those. (If I remember right)
I'm only going for the current portraits now since they are nice looking. I'm vjweb in the app if anyone has extra portraits I need.

I had about 300,000 credits saved up and decided to go after the Han Solo Portrait. I pulled 4 whites, 2 blues, a green and a pink. Then was able to make a trade for the red. I know it's just virtual, but it was exciting to actually accomplish something in this game finally!

Congratulations! The Orange Rey for Hero Celebration Day 2 looks awesome but too bad there will 500k of them by the end of the day... Ypu get one free each time you open a base or Portrait pack.

5 orange and 10 green. Ridiculous. Someone offered me a 700 count disruption for my only green so I took that. Must have cost a ton to get oranges.

Default I treat it like a game

The problem is that Topps can (and does) make any variation of any card at anytime. PhotoShop is making them a lot of money.

I rarely pay for anything but do get something for .99 at times to get better odds opening packs.

I agree the new Portraits are nice so I've been trading for them as much as I can. Luckily have a run of Reys.

Best to All,
Vinny

I hate their obsession with parallels, both in digital and their retail product. A different colour border does not excite me.

Opened 6 portrait packs yesterday and pulled every colour Kylo Ren portrait as well as two greens. I love those lucky breaks when the app decides to be generous.

The app's getting a bit crazy... So much stuff, a lot of it p2p, and the Gold chase is pretty extreme - I just don't have the time to put into trying for them.

I used to spend a little cash every now and then, but just can't bring myself to do so these days. I wonder if Topps realise what they're doing...

This will kill the app. They aren't putting anything creative out. When they run out of ideas, they start to colour up variations of base cards. Its a total money grab and collectors get tired of it and just stop purchasing credits and stop collecting.

The app is so focused on getting people to pay for bundles to get inserts that the fun of busting packs to get an insert has been replaced with "on demand pay for your insert" scheme. There is no fun or excitement in just paying for the insert.

It's been a nightmare set to trade for! People are asking the world for them, and it seems people are paying that making it REALLY tough.

I finally finished my set today (cost me a Crest and a couple Fashion for the last 3), now to decide whether I should try for another to get the 2nd award. I've had pretty good luck pulling them in less than 10 packs every day except yesterday.

I was even offered a Phasma Concept ($8-$10) for one but another guy offered a Vint + WV for the same card.

Anyone see Jedi Legacy? 80 card set with 1 in 30 odds, you can only pull one of two cards per day without Master Access. Shameful!

App is going down the tubes....not sure what Topps is doing. I know so many people that used to spend money on the app that have quit. I guess some people must be buying though for Topps to continue doing it.
