So there isn't much going on right now, oh wait..

ITS ALLLLIIIIIVVVVVEEEEEE!

Star Wars card trader is all a flutter!

There is sets falling out of everywhere, in every way, for everyone.

Sneaky weeklies continue to drop, multi-wave sets keep hammering out and the introduction of new classy sets quietly whispering "Show me the money".

Heritage has been massive. With its strange meld mechanic everyone has been quickly chasing up what they can to complete the set for the short awards deadlines.

Trades are the life blood of the app and special cards, emotional attachments, interesting mechanics, melds and requirements all help to drive the economy and speed of Star Wars Card Trader.

This week the boys stop and examine some of these specifics. They talk trades, holy grails and a complete crystal bag relapse.

The only one complaining is the Cloud city Accountant.

Bloody murder.

Halloween and the Vacation is over and the boys are back.

Not only are the boys back but they brought a guest with them. KADRAD joins the show to discuss some of the weeks craziness and a true free to play perspective. A perspective not always shared by our two heroes.

White whales and holy grails make the list this week. Lots of input from listeners expressing how much the heart desires the cards of their needs.

Marathons also make the topic charts with their absence. Bedsheets and Gilded have wrapped up this week, counts being different to what was expected, suddenly sneak peeks from Petz.. Marathons are not far away.

Tonnes of new sets in the app, TLJ graphite, modernography continues, a Star Wars version of inception, as well as the return of Out Of The Box and the new Nostalgic Nouveau with the highly regarded COIN BAG OPTIONS!

As always current sets, mechanics and awards. Amongst other things.

MAY THE FORCE BE WITH YOU

Happy Halloween.

Trick or treat? I guess this week its trick.

The app has been super slow, and nothing too exciting has happened. But here are some highlights..

Marathons are over, the last bedsheet has dropped and the last week of gilded is here. We guess we should start seeing some new Marathons very shortly.

Or will we? Are marathons old news? Maybe the sneaky weeklies are the new marathons.

The speculation is that Topps would seem to be trying to hold onto user base by creating weekly sets to keep people interested or at least coming back in app.

Dragging out the set over weeks, similar to marathons, is a way to keep you holding on. This maybe a smart move seeing as even some of the vets appear to be packing their bags.

A smart move is that they're bringing back older sets and offering super awards. At least that works for those that completed the old sets. Appeasing the vets is what they need to do at this point to keep the app alive as it doesn't appear that new users will be sticking around long in a pay only app. There isnt enough attachment for a new user to bother sticking around when it just costs money.

Even with the nostalgic sets and weekly drops to ease the pain of opening your wallet, is it enough? The prices and odds may still be too high as it turns out, as we are still seeing inserts stack weeks later.

Do you think its strange that marathons were so hard this time around? think about it, if it were still the "good old days" we would only be HALF way through new marathons.

Don't forget to tell us what you think.

MONUMENTS.

Lets remember that once upon a time monuments were something Topps gave us as a reward for something we were doing. For no reason other than we wanted something else to do in the app.

They never asked us to hoard. It was a gift. Hoarding is something we choose to do. They never promised us anything. But like a business they kinda took the idea and rubbed it in their pants. But we let them do it.

we shouldn't have expected a monument. Hoarders hoard because of the love of the game and the character. Doing it for a reward just makes it another base variant.

This time around, thats what it is. check out the Bay, they're $14.99.

What they should have done, was nothing at all. The expectation was too high.

The counts will be high. Because its open for too long.

Melding the cards only takes apart the hoard you've worked so hard to build.

And without a name, its a base variant.

We should have left what we had in the past where its still a good memory. Bringing this all back up just hurts a little.

This is what else happened this week...

Alphabet set dropped, OE for coin bags and and healthy counts for crystal bags.

Black and white sigs still seem to be dropping but im not sure who sees the value. This is something to chase for those interested in a charter or just a straight up sig guy. Niche.

Underworld is over. You can all breathe again.

Classic arts continue, not bad sets, keep you busy if its in your price range.

Lots of crystal bag fire sales. HOT TIP none are worth pulling the trigger on. Only appear to be unsellable sets that get thrown in and missing the mark in whats offered in the daily bag offers. Save your gift cards.

HALLOWEEN hit the market, nice set to chase for anyone, open 24 hours counts good odds and no variants make it a fun daily set. Not trading for anything super valuable but another fun one for the collection.

Halloween base. Crystal bags only. nuff said.

Weeklies have been dropping as usual, You're either in or your out. Except, Out of the box is BACK! but, Weekly.

Special offer is the super awards for all 3 waves. Stay tuned!

However, the hit of the week is the NOSTALGIC NOUVEAU - must have a new French intern.

These retro looking blasts of colour are flying off shelves showing that topps can give us something that we want.

Its a counted card, 1000cc it's offered in crystal AAAAAAAAAAND COIN bags. No variants, edge to edge design.

First card sold out in less than 15 minutes, the second less than 30.

Even the most jaded of players are trying there hands at crystal bags before the coin option hits the store. Thats how its done topps, well done!

Thanks for being great fans and putting up with our terrible jokes, including this one.

We greatly appreciate your patience while we take a week vacation.

This week the porgs are in the studio and so is TbowBaggins.

Collectors Corner is full steam ahead with another new guest.

As a group, the boys discuss some of the craziness of NYCC and review some of the new sets that hit the app over the last week.

Marathons are wrapping up and the app has gotten a little slower but is that due to crystal bags, farmers or the lack of premium content?

This week, the boys talk about the Holo debacle new.

Someone is losing their mind, either Topps or the boys. Maybe both?

As always, new sets old sets award counts and the usual tom-foolery.
