What's Buzz-worthy: I was a bit on the fence when I saw that horror movies would be the subject for this GPK release but the timing (just in time for Halloween) and the number of iconic takedowns in this one (see the gallery) make it a solid release. The collector boxes deliver a bit more in every box but these hobby boxes do include printing plates, artist autographs and sketch cards -- just not in every box. Statistically, even the Fool's Gold parallel here wasn't supposed to be in this box as those are one in 44 packs. The collation here wasn't perfect at all which seems odd but I also think building a set out of every single box would be a dis-service and hurt the set value here some. The basic set is made up of eight subsets with A and B versions for each sticker -- a total of 200 stickers. The insert lineup is more fleshed out in the collector boxes so if you're just wanting the basics here then hobby is probably the best way to go. The Wacky Packages inserts -- aka Trick of Treat cards here -- feel out of place and don't seem to work but everything else does. If you want more to chase and some type of hit, the pricier boxes are an option. You can find both at the link above.
