The cards look amazing. Too bad the price will be ridiculous.

That's cheaper than the Canadian stores too without even considering tax

What are we looking at for TR costs per team? 150/175 CAD? 200/250 CAD? More? Going to be crazy for restocks meaning this will only get worse and likely quickly (particularly given the current price trends) and I struggle to see how doing PYT breaks makes any sense for a team like the Isles (even with Dobson/Wahlstromm having likely a fair amount of stuff - they are not Tier 1 RCs).

My opinion, quick summary:
Trilaterals are very well done, big fail hand numbering the 1 of 1 monumental patches, looks cheap, RPAs are ok, Gretzky clearly mailed in his signatures, gross, if you want to pull a Makar auto and hope to cover yourself, buy this product since he’s in everything!
Good luck to the suckers........er breakers. With this rookie crop, you’re gonna get totally paddled.

TR?Has to be north of 200 considering what cases are going for.
No idea what PYT will be. I can see your Canucks and Colorado going for $1000

Those Over Shadow cards are hard on the eyes.

IDK, the have an 'old school' feel to them. Would be nice to frame the set.
Love those Overshadows, super unique and cool looking. UD knocked it out of the park wth new content this year.

Definitely some individual cards that I'm interested in, mostly retired players.

I really like the look of the card. would have been cool as an insert, maybe acetate or partial acetate in a lower cost product.

Registered Trader,
The Overshadows looks like a mash-up of two different designs. One being the Cup, the other being an unlicensed card from the 90s. I'm having conflicting feelings about it!
The Overshadow design is going to be controversial I think, it's definitely a bit out there. Personally, I think the design is a bit too busy. There's the patch, the auto, and the skater + face. I think the design would've been cleaner if they'd gone with just the auto and done something similar to the Color Coded cards but maybe that would've been too similar.
However, in a weird way the card really reminds me of Panini Noir Basketball, one of my favourite sets out today. I love, love, love the set designs and I really wish there was a parallel of it in hockey, I'd collect it to death. I think if UD had done a design similar to this for Overshadow it would've been interesting. However, gonna withhold judgment until I see one of these cards in person or in a good photo, think they might pop in a different way.

Not sure if this is allowed but where are people going for Cup case breaks? I don't see any on breakaway... is it so heavily allocated or too pricey?
frankiefives
Verified Trader,
I wonder if breakers are just waiting to get their exact allocation numbers and cost before releasing their break prices.
SNobles
Patrick Roy BTP Collector,
This is my guess. I think all of the product this year is allocated heavily so they do not want to put anything out there until they know for sure what they will get.

Breaks that I saw posted were at 260 CAD per TR (for 31 teams) at CnC and OOTB. TS were nearly 1K CAD for big teams down to about 100 CAD for e.g., the Wild. Haven't seen any on US sites. But far, far fewer breaks posted given an imminent release.

Verified Trader,
Well that's annoying. Wonder if it's distributors playing games again or what.

There's a "Mega" 5 case master TR break up at D&A - it's ~800 USD per spot. To give a sense of comparison, at the same price point last year, it was for 10 cases...so double the cost this year(!!!).
I'm passing on breaks this year for Cup. Just too much money.
I really, really hope this dies down before SPA releases!
