Box Breaks: 9 Blasters of 2017-18 Optic Basketball and 1 Target Exclusive Mega Box

I'm going to be going through a LOT of Optic this weekend. I started it Monday with the Value Pack Box and now I got my Target stash in along with a hobby case. Last week Target had a sale which was $25 off any $100 toy purchase. Cards are included so I took advantage and placed a couple of orders and ended up with 9 Blasters and a Mega Box. So what exactly is a mega box?

 

It's pretty straight forward. for $49.99 you get an exclusive 50 card Rated Rookie Card set (they look like Flash Prizms) and 2 packs of Optic. I think it's pretty cool to get an exclusive rookie parallel set of this deep draft class so it was a no brainer purchase for me. Here's how the cards look like

 

Love the look of these cards! Definitely worth it to pick up one of these sets if you can find one at Target. There's a Wal Mart Mega Box as well but those are more traditional with packs and they have a special Red and Yellow Parallel you can pull from those.  Speaking of packs the Mega Box did come with two packs and they weren't too bad. A Kuzma Rookie and a Checkerboard parallel of Danilo Gallinari

 

And now Blaster time

 

Now the Value Rack Packs were pretty awful but at least with these blasters I got them discounted. Hopefully I do better than Monday's break. Here's what I got

Overall Thoughts: Slighty better than the Value Racks, but not by much. Got excited with the Redemption knowing Donovan Mitchell is a redemption and also the gold parallel but they were of bla players. Well..I gotta hope Hobby saves my butt. Pics of the better cards
