@Brendan_B you always do a good impartial review on these sets. I'm waiting for your perspective on them

Just a bit busy with house reno's. Hopefully get a few loose packs and maildays from trades in the next fortnight so I can give a better opinion.

Best release for ESP by a country mile. But as always there is room for some constructive feedback:
I think that the box cards are a great idea but there need to be half a dozen, otherwise they are a worthless bin card. Select did this in 2001 and 2002 and they were great. I also loved the 300 game case cards Select made. I'd love to see this concept used for box cards.
The Engine Room cards felt like they were straight from Traders. Especially compared to Triple Threats or Pride & Passions from 2013/2014 Elite. They were out-blinged by the commons.
The case cards were drab, and getting sick of Smith and Thurston for EVERYTHING.
Collation seems a bit out. Also a lot of cases churning out cards that are very similar to each other. I have seen Lolohea 15-20 come out in order. We'll probably see a run of #001s all at once I reckon. My cases had a hit in each box with no duds, but obviously this is not the story in most
BUT
Cards released in all locations on the same day. Thumbs up ESP
The mojo designs were out of this world - fantastic. Such an improvement from providing an ugly $300 parallel last year.
The jerseys look great, as do the redemption cards
Having the R&G Parallels numbered are THE best part of the series for me. The release needed this card, and unlike the All Stars last year, there are two for each team.
Good player selection in autos
Can't wait to see the Warriors make the finals so that Manu Vatuvei can have a jersey signature next year! It will go nicely with a Ben Matulino Traders signature.
What a great set.

It looks really good but I'm really disappointed my case share was a dud. I never have any luck with Elite.

3 dud cases in a row for me : (
So true Daniel. Title has been edited.
I'm sure there were plenty of parallels.

Very true, but quads were a major box/case hit rather than an a bonus hit on top of the box hit. Stretching them out to #/100 has been good imho.

Great design. Great everything.
Just stop with the thurston sigs. You're killing! KILLING ME!

Bought 8 packs this morning from the news agent
Was lucky enough to hit a league sensation
They are a real nice product made on a nice thick card base. got a couple of regular run and guns regular they look real nice in hand.
Gold cards look real nice as well, only insert that doesn't really mark up in this product is the engine rooms
Have not seen a Capt card in hand yet
Overall a top quality product

I have only opened 1 box and it was a dud, good product but not happy with a dud.
What is even the point of them?

I really like the look of this set but my terrible luck kills it for me. The only time I've even come close to touching a numbered insert was when I saw a Traders Manly Dynamic Duo being busted at a card fair last year
