What's Buzz-worthy: More Silvers, more Rookie Cards and a meaty pack of colorful parallels only found here -- those are the selling points for this $35 mega box (Walmart version). The color of parallel? Pink Ice. These boxes also guarantee three Silver Prizms and there are no other colors to get in their way unlike blasters, where colors there can replace the sought-after standard parallel. It appears that rookie autos can be found here --  standard and Silver -- and inserts here have Silver and Green parallels to chase. More packs here means more chances at hot RCs such as Luka Doncic (a 1:100 box chance at his pricey Silver if perfect collation and 1:30 boxes for Pink). You get more volume here but no guaranteed hit like in blasters so depending what you're chasing there are options with this brand. The hobby boxes guarantee ink and a lot of color (hit that link above) but if you're a little more on the fence or don't want to spend a lot, these mega boxes are solid options with good potential.
