Yes there are both hobby and retail starter packs.
Both contain retail packets, the only difference is bonus card.
Retail have Club Heroes Parallels. I think there are 4 variants. Violet limited to /410 (not individually numbered), Pink /250, Teal /175 and Green /100. The last three variants...
There were some environmental issues with the grounds the shop was located on (asbestos). I believe they are relocating to a shopping cnetre, not sure where but I will confirm if you like.
