    Even at the same price as 3 loose packs the startoon is effectively a free bonus card. I am one who is two lol The other thing to keep in mind is starters is very much a entry point into the hobby, I dont know any kids that collect elite or even know of its existence. Startoons no doubt appeals...

    They pretty much are a bonus card and have even been advertised as such previously. I think you mentioned it but with starters you have already been getting a discount on buying 3 loose packs. Seem to be enough hits coming out of starters that I dont believe your odds are any worse than buying 3...

    Not if you look at traders in isolation and elite is a separate release not part of it, All you have most years is a signature and predictor for every team. Sure there might be a second sig some years, 4&2 or similar or a legends but for many teams 2 numbered cards for the release is it without...

    So are legends signatures but collectors like the continuity from one year to the next. People obviously do collect the startoons and really it is a entry level subset that you can put together a numbered set for a reasonable cost. I did prefer the league leaders in hobby starters from last year...

    The startoon variations have only been in starters for 3 years, prior to that it was a milestone card 200, 250 300 games for various players, Last year you also had hobby starters that had the league leaders instead of startoons found in retail.

    Would be interesting to see what the returns have been on the last few releases. Apart from albums I havent returned anything in the last 5 years. I still have a look and grab a few packs if I am in another newsagents, albums always seem reasonably easy to locate but cards not so much. I think...

    I dont think people realise the numbers involved on the retail side, there are nearly 5000 newsagents in Aus, 1000 in NSW/ACT alone throw a 1000 Woolworths stores in 800 Coles and then servos into the mix and see what the allocation per store would be if done equally. Remember dealers will...

    There is a difference between being able to order them and being supplied them, Ovato's full allocation of cricket traders starters for newsagents was gone in the release day allocation. I tried ordering more the day of release and couldnt get any extra then. Didnt try to order additional...

    I can only go off what ovato are saying, they are the distributors for newsagents. As of right now if I enquire on future allocation it is showing 3 boxes of starters, it is no guarantee but would be unusual for them to do allocation on a product if they dont know the numbers they are receiving...

    Had a look yesterday to try and see what allocations our newsagency has received for this release. At this stage seems we should get 3 boxes starters so a bit over 50 packs, if the 10,000 starters is correct we have probably done OK. The recent cricket release was about 5,000 starters and we...

    Official TLA Traders Cricket 2020/21 Official Thread (updated 10/9)

    Wife busted a regular box Monday night, no big hits but all box hits were there. Strange box though, she had one pack that only had a parallel no other insert, first I have seen in this release. A few packs later she commented the pack felt thicker, 2 parallels 1 insert and 11 base cards in the...
