2015 Topps Star Wars: Journey to The Force Awakens Hobby Box Break

This is a second break for this product, as the hobby and retail releases look significantly different.  It seems a bit different from a regular release in that the hobby packs seem stacked much more toward set makers than the retail.  The box contains 24 packs of 8 cards, while advertising two of those eight as inserts.  Each box also comes with two hits, which apparently includes the patch cards from the retail blasters.

This box contained:

90 Different Base

24 Base Slime Green Parallel

12 Base Black Parallel

6 Base Silver Parallel

4 Base Pink Parallel

2 Base Purple Parallel

1 Base Rainbow Foil Parallel

1 Base Silver Ice Parallel

6 Behind The Scenes

7 Concept Art

3 Cloth Stickers

9 Character Foil Stickers (6 different)

6 Power of the First Order

6 Heroes of the Resistance

11 Stickers

1 Patch Card BB-8

1 Sketch Card W Silverman

2 Trading Card App Code Cards

Topps joins in the Star Wars fun this fall with its own Journey to The Force Awakens card release.  The base set is printed on Heritage stock and resembles the original Star Wars release design from the 1970s.  The set features all six current movies, with a special focus on the upcoming release.  There are also plenty of parallels and inserts to keep you occupied.

The retail box contains 24 packs of six cards each.  The base set is only 110 cards, but it’s going to take a while, as each back of six cards only features two regular base cards.   Also included in this box were six promo cards for the Star Wars trading card app from Topps.  Each card had a code redeemable for one 15 card Boba Fett Pack, so the box also included a total of 90 virtual trading cards, as well.
