What’s Buzz-worthy: The Walking Dead has delivered very well for this box-buster at retail — specifically Walmart blaster boxes — and this one delivered my first autograph of the year. They’re found one in every 12 boxes, while the Weapons parallel is one in 580 packs. As said in a previous break of this stuff, Allegiances inserts are also only found in these boxes per the checklist but are relatively standard. The main set and insert lineup is very similar in both what’s in the product and comes in a box compared to past Walking Dead sets from Topps but with this one showing how the characters have evolved through all of the seasons of the hit series. This is a very simple release but it’s one where the blasters can deliver very well. This wasn’t quite Bullet Relic cool, but an autograph in a blaster still feels like it’s not the norm, earning this one an A- on the Box Grade.
