How is collectability treating you?

By TylerTT, in Star Wars: Destiny

Just bought the last 9 boosters a LGS near me will have until the end of the month. Not a single Legendary :(

I did get a pair of Tuskan Raiders though (and previously I didn't have this character).

So YOU are the one who cleaned out Campus Cards and Games!

=P

:D

2 more booster for me today, so 30 for now and another legendary - The One with the Force (and less excited Jedi Robes). I was hoping for that card. It fits perfectly to my elite Luke deck.

I bought the two starter decks so I could jump straight in and play with a friend which I am pleased I did as once I knew I enjoyed it treated myself to an early Christmas present of one booster box to try and give myself a decent chance to expand on those sets. I'm not normally that lucky when it comes to buying single packs of anything and always feel I have a better chance when opening a full box.

I was really pleased with what I got as I only pulled a couple of double cards with die, 2x Promotion, another Rey Staff and another BB8. Got quite a few characters including another Stormtrooper, Padawan, General Grevious, Count Dooku, Tusken Raider, Leia, Scout, Hired Gun. My legendries were also pretty good with a Vader, Poe, Black One, One with the Force Han Solo and a Commanding Presence.

I don't need many common and uncommon to complete the set but planning just to add as and when I need to fit with my build. I feel like I got a really good spread from a box and plenty of characters that I can build around so overall I was very happy. Will probably do the same with further expansions.

The availability of boosters has frustrated the hell out of me. I placed an order with MM early December and found out that I was bumped from end of December to end of January. Yet they have stocked all their singles to 20+ in availability. I'm not sure what I think about that yet. I am still deciding whether or not to still get product from them over that. I am in a smaller town and none of the gaming store think much of the games I want to play (Destiny, X-Wing, Armada). They seem to focus on either Magic/Pokémon or the other store is 2K or warmahords although the owner of that shop will play the occasional game of X-Wing. So I have to order from somewhere.

Now the reason for the response to this thread. I am in Seattle to watch the Cardinals/Seahawks game with my wife as a Christmas present. I stopped by a store at Pike place and I'll be **** but they had some boosters. I asked if they had an unopened box that they'd sell but all they had was the stuffed box on the shelf and a half full box in the back. Being it is Christmas Eve and I know that these are scarce I didn't want to clean the, out although they seemed willing to sell me all they had. I'm not that nice so I took the full box from the shelf (which ended up with 44 packs) and left them with the half box for other people. I plan to share these with some friends back home as a few have been able to get starter sets but no boosters. I figured I'd open 4 just cause I've been excited to open some fore several weeks. Feeling pretty lucky so far. My first 4 boosters had Jabba, Immobilize, Luke's Lightsaber, and One with the Force. I know this will not continue but makes up a little bit for my frustrations trying to get this product. Once I know how many ways I will be splitting this up, I'll open some more and see what I end up with.

Bought a booster box yesterday and got some decent stuff: a second Jabba, Poe, Crime Lord, Luke's saber, AT-ST and One with the Force for the legendaries, plus a couple of holocrons and some other cards I'd been looking for second copies of. Went back to the same store today and picked up six random boosters and got a Falcon but nothing else too exciting. They only have five boosters left and I went back and forth on getting them before finally caving in and buying them.

Got Vader in the very first pack I opened. Also pulled a Dooku and my second Padme. So I'd say good call there!

I was think about buying Luke but instead bought 12 boosters with the money. Opened Luke AND One With The Force!!!

Bought 21 boosters once the re-stock came in. Got all six of the legendaries! Phasma, Poe, Luke, Crime Lord, Thermal Detonator and Commanding Presence! I feel vindicated after I bought 24 packs at release and only got 2 of the legendaries.

Finally got my order in today, a booster along with both starters. For my 6 Legendary pulls I got Luke, the Falcon, Launch Bay, Force Choke, Thermal Detonator, and Kylo's Lightsaber.

As far as characters go I ended up with 12. Light side:Luke, Leia, Padme, Padawan, and Rebel Trooper. Dark side:Jango x 2, Dooku x 2, General Veers, Nightsister, and FO Stormtrooper.

Overall I am happy with my pulls. I got some decent stuff like Cunning, but there were a couple cards that I really wanted and didn't get any of such as Comlink and Data pad.

From my experience with one booster box I can see that at least 2 are needed for any serious deck building. I have a couple more coming in January so I should be set then.

Oddly, I have received multiples of every battleground except Echo Base, which I have yet to see a single one of.

My group pooled money and drafted some boxes. Everyone was guaranteed 4 legendaries and 20 rares. With the draft this enabled us to build some good decks. Later I got another pack and opened the Grievous I needed.

Legendaries: 2x One with the Force, Luke's Lightsaber

Characters: 2x Qui-gon, 2x Padme, 2x Rebel Trooper, 2x Count Dooku, 2x Jango Fett, 1x General Greivous.

Now the reason for the response to this thread. I am in Seattle to watch the Cardinals/Seahawks game with my wife as a Christmas present. I stopped by a store at Pike place and I'll be **** but they had some boosters.

You found Golden Age Collectibles in Pike Place or as it's known around here - Golden Gouge, because all their prices on action figures, comics, and cards are always jacked up. The store is in a major tourist area and they suspect tourists don't pay attention to prices.

They were charging $3 booster which is retail. I know I can get them cheaper if I am patient and I will in a month or so. But for now, it is nice just to have a few more cards than what came with the starters. Also as far as collectibility: my fifth booster had a Crime Lord so I was at 4/5 boosters had legendary cards. I have opened 16 packs so far and have ended up with 6 lengendaries. Since this wasn't a "sealed" box but was stocked from another, I'm not sure if I will expect any more or not.

We (I and my son) have found 20 boosters under Christmas Tree. 4 Legendaries but only 2 characters (3 cards) and one damaged die

Legendaries (4): Phasma, Commanding Presence, Launch Bay, Black One

Characters: Phasma, 2xQui Gon

Rares (16): 2xQui Gon, FO Tie Figher, Immobilize, Sith Holocron (damaged die), Speeder Bike, Flame Thrower, Gafii Stick, Jedi Robes, DH-17 Blaster Pistol, DL-44 Heavy Blaster, Com Link, 2xData Pad, 2xCunning,

We still have not much characters after 50 boosters opened.

I've bought roughly 3 boxes and currently have 4 Vaders, 5 Leias, elite grievous, padmae, 3 jangos, 2 falcons, Luke's and Kylo's lightsaber, 2 at-st, and almost 2 of every dice card. But haven't pulled a Luke or Akbar yet lol

Bought a box the first day Destiny was released and was reasonably happy with the rares and Legendary cards I got. I managed to pull a Vader, Luke and Luke's Saber on the Legendary side along with Force Choke, Commanding Presence and Launch Bay. On the rare side I got lots of characters including 2 Veers, 2 Bala-Tik, 2 Ackbar, 2 Nightsisters, 2 Tusken Raiders, 1 Grevious, 1 Leia, 1 Qui-Gon, 1 Hired Hand and 1 First Order Storm Trooper. So I decided to buy a second box and my wife gave it to me for a Christmas present. Started opening the packs and noticed I was getting things I already had. By the time I was about 1/2 way in I realized that the only new things I had gotten on the rare/legendary side were Legendary cards. At that point, I wondered if I was going to get the exact same 30 rares as I had pulled in the first box and sure enough, that's what happened. I got 2 repeat legendary cards (Force Choke and Launch Bay) and then also got a Poe, Phasma, Falcon and Crime Lord. The 30 rares were EXACTLY the same in the two boxes.

While it is nice to now be able to run Elite Grevious, Elite Leia or Elite Qui-Gon or decks with 4 First Order Troopers, I really don't need 4 Veers, 4 Bala-Tik, 4 Ackbar, etc.. So much for randomness. At least I got different uncommon cards for the most part (still missing 2 though) and managed to fill out complete sets of 2 for each common.

Anyone else run into this sort of thing? It's quite crazy that I got the exact same 30 rare cards in two different boxes.

Inside my next 10 boosters where 3 legendaries. Big luck but I'm not happy at all.

Legendaries: AT-ST, Hangar Bay, Black One - all dupes for me :-/

Rares: JetPack, Force Training, BB-8 (3rd), 2xImmobilize (3rd and 4th), Holdout Blaster (3rd), Padme (3rd),

JetPack and Force Training where the only two good cards, rest were dupes. I am on the opposite site of luck then. Plenty of non characters card so far. No Grievous, Leia, Veers, Bala-Tik and even Rebel Trooper not to mention legendaries.

I bought the last 14 boosters from my comic store - got 5 legendaries. Feel sorry for whoever bought the first 22 and only got 1 legendary out of it.
