Kind of related to the milestone posts everyone's making - I was considering making one, but I'm 100% on a bunch of characters, since I collect mostly by character and not set, so I figured we can make a list of 100%-ers.

Also, in case you actually go look, some of the cards are spread across my main, ESMARIE and a vault, MIRRIE, right now, since I'm considering re-organizing a bit. :)

I am currently 100% on the following characters (who have an appreciable number of inserts or base variants):

  • Ahsoka Tano (lowest count: 20); Rey (lowest count: 25); Hera (lowest count: 500); Sabine (lowest count: 50); Aayla Secura (lowest count: 90); Aurra Sing (lowest count: 30);

Has anyone tried any of these?

It seems like all my TapJoy is giving me recently (where did the app downloads go?) and I hesitate to give my address to them.

Do you get signed up for things? Do they never leave you alone and send you tons of spam mail? I can filter those easily enough when it's electronic, but it's harder when it's physical.

I need more credits to chase my Red Die Cut Rey!!! I've gone through about 2 million so far!

EDIT: Just pulled Red Die Cut Rey #15!!!

I know these come up from time-to-time, but I always enjoy seeing the responses - so, what's the biggest / most expensive trade you've ever done (screenshots if you have them!) and what's your unicorn card? Are you close? :)

My biggest trade (a few months ago): Vintage Han for Jedi/Sith Lightsaber Ahsoka http://m.imgur.com/C20Smzu

My new 'unicorn' card: Black Nightbrothers Asajj Ventress

I always gamble a bit when things like Platinum WV drop, hoping that if I can get a few of those or something similar, maybe I can find someone willing to part with a black NB Ventress...I suppose it's as good a unicorn as any!

EDIT: Thanks for all the responses! I love hearing stories about people getti

Anyone know how the "Villains" award card for the Force Awakens Premiere set will be handled?

Is there just going to be a window tomorrow morning (assuming that wasn't pushed back as well) where you can trade something for the "Villains" award? What will you trade?

It can't be the "Heroes" award card, because that doesn't drop until Monday at 12:02am... Do you have an option to forfeit getting the "Heroes" version and instead get the "Villains" version?

Any ideas?

Is the regular Posters of Rebellion pack missing for anyone else from the store? I know the first two sold out, but the "Rule the Galaxy" one should be there.

I've spent like 300,000 and not pulled a gray, so while it's clearly there (count is going up), I wouldn't be surprised if the odds were wrong? Especially given the weird mechanic of the packs. I know it's possible to spend that much and just have poor luck, but one issue leads me to think about others.

Any have a similar experience?

EDIT: My title probably should've been "What makes people think Clone Wars and Rebels are JUST for kids?"

So this is based off a comment I posted in this thread about the Quinlan Vos award (https://www.reddit.com/r/starwarstrader/comments/3fj5ki/new_topps_choice_award_fail_in_my_opinion/), but I keep seeing the issue I was responding to pop up everywhere, so I wanted to make an actual post about it, both to make my point, but also if you have a counterpoint to make, please do!

To me, it seems like whenever a new insert comes out that is based off of a lesser-known Clone Wars or Rebels character, I see people in the Transmission comments, Fan Feed, and here on Reddit go, "This is a terrible

I'm sure there's some physical card collectors out there, and I was looking at picking up some physical card sets on eBay as a starting point, as opposed to buying boxes and cracking packs, and I was hoping to pick your brains a little bit!

I am looking at the Galactic Files Series 1 and 2 Base Sets (350 cards each) on eBay, and I was wondering if you all had any thoughts on the quality of the set? Or any thoughts about buying a complete base set vs. buying a box or two?

I would say the only special (insert, sketch, auto, etc.) cards I have any interest in are the signature cards for Ahsoka Tano and Aayla Secura, so I'm not sure it's worth going the box route, for this set anyways. The Ah

Anyone else tired of sets like Space Paintings, TK, and Comics and how they just keep going on and on? They start to feel lazy and uninspired very quickly.

I know Topps must love sets where they can just slap a new piece of art in the center, update the metadata and release it, but when it's near-everyday releases that seem to just go on and on, and it's clear that they're not going to run out of content for that middle space...why even bother chasing them? I REALLY prefer sets that are 5-10 long and more unique.

Some of the TKs have some nice artwork, but the ones that are just sloppy masks ruin the set for me. Comics are kind of meh - I read a ton of comics, but just slapping the cover i

So maybe this is self-serving, as I don't know how many people here were chasing the Tano Monument award, but has anyone heard anything about when it's going to come out?

I tweeted at @ToppsSteve and @ToppsDigital, but no luck, and we're coming up on two weeks with not a peep.

On a related note, has there been any communication about the Maul award and the screw up with the highest counts?

I just want to know SOMETHING! I worked really hard to try to get it (maybe not hard enough!) so I've been really anxious to just get the results and know, one way or the other.

So I made a baby account on an extra device, just for fun, since my main account is all Clone Wars and Rebels ladies. I figured I'd chase some TKs on the second account.

I pulled TK-19 today, and was like, well I've never traded TKs and one of my friends tells me that sometimes they get offers of 2:1 for the current TK, so I figured, why not, there are certain TK I want just because they're pretty.

I forgot that this account has a ~50 Force Score...here's the sort of trades I got. It was magical.

All of those traders, except the last, are going on my ignore list.
