What’s Buzz-worthy: This one was is easily one of this collector’s favorites last year with a perfect mix of retro and modern feel in both design and printing and with variations and a lower-end price that makes the chase fun. Look at the star power in this box’s inserts and it’s easy to see that this lineup is stacked. This brand is not expensive — it wasn’t meant to be — but it’s so solid on a few fronts. (Want to know more check out a full-format Buzz Break here.) This brand is one to consider on the hobby side as the boxes are cheap — but they won’t be around forever.
