What’s Buzz-worthy: The key here for these is, in my mind, the Illusions pack, which has a 50-50 shot at having a hit -- and an added surprise is potential box-toppers instead of a standard pack in these. There's a heavier mix of inserts here vs. blasters ($5 less) but the $15 jersey hangers still might be the best buy for a good volume of inserts along with a hit. If you're looking for RCs more than other stuff, blasters are best. If you just want all of it? Rip some hobby at the link above. My first one of these was a win my second one was not and this one is probably closer to the norm but with a hit. If you have some luck on your side, though, there's some decent potential here -- and they seem to be relatively available at retail. Hobby is your best bet at that link above but if you want to dabble with this one on the cheap, this is a decent way to go.
