Rogue One Series 1 Blaster with Relic

Rogue One is my favorite of the new Star Wars movies and I was able to open a hobby box of these two years ago.  This blaster was a gift for Christmas and goes for $11 on Amazon right now.  I'm as big a fan of these cards as I am the movie.  Great design and the inserts make these a win for me.

    Movie stills or screen shots are a staple here.  That card on the right is a Death Star parallel.

Icon, Darth Vader Continuity, and Gallery inserts.  Again the inserts are strong here and a big reason I like this set.

Plenty of cards here highlighting key characters from the movie.  More bland than movie scenes but they serve a purpose.

Heroes of the Rebel Alliance, Blueprint and Villains of the Empire inserts.  I'm a huge fan of the Shoretrooper design.  That said I don't think they have to keep coming up with new variations of Stormtroopers for each movie.  There were two new ones in the movie that came out this month - Sith and the jet pack guys.

More cards that help take you back to moments in the movie.  I like the Empire and Rebellion emblems on each card.  Simple but effective.  This was a fun blaster and fun cards.

This medallion was my pull for this box.  I'm a Stormtrooper fan and I like the AT-ST as well so this is a good medallion for me.

Christmas Swag

It's been a super busy month and with my scanner on the fritz posts have been few and far between.  That said this will be my 100th for the year, a new high for posts in a year.  Christmas was good as always and Santa Claus brought goodies.  The complete WKRP series on DVD and the classic Star Wars Black 6" Stormtrooper were both on my list of gifts I wanted this year.  WKRP has long been a favorite of mine so I'm excited to be able to watch this great series once again.  I love the Hasbro Star Wars Black 6" series of action figures but started too late to have this one in my collection so it was a must have.  Stormtroopers are my favorite character from the movies.

Santa Claus made a surprise visit two days later in the form of two more figures from the Star Wars Rogue One movie - K-2SO and the Death Trooper.  I saw the movie and loved it so these were must haves.  I also nabbed a box of the Topps 65th Anniversary cards which I hope to review soon.  I hope Santa Claus was good to everyone. Have a safe and happy new year.
