It's been awhile since I broke anything and the new Pinnacle Rink Collections were calling to me. I hit up the nearest Target to find the retail isnt out yet. So I make the drive to the LCS. Pick up 3 packs of Pinnacle and a pack of SPx. SPx ended up being all base, just my luck.
These are my hits.

Little disappointed because I spent $30 on 4 packs ($6/pack for Pinnacle?) and I find it weird that Pinnacle doesn't state the odds on the packs???
That was a couple days ago.
Today I was driving past Target and decided to see if they had retail.
I walk in and I've never seen the Card section look so good. Just recently stocked.
Pick up a Blaster for $20 (10packs) and a Fat Pack at $5. I also noticed a 15 pack variety box of Hockey for only $10 and I could use the container to store my cards, so I pick up one of those as well.
Very pleased with the Blaster.

Lethonen came from the Fat Pack. Only hit in it, so I would stay away from those.
The Variety box was fun, hit about 10 inserts, mostly $2 and under, but it was nice to get the Koivu. I couldn't tell you how many 98-99 Dynagon Ice packs I've opened and never hit an insert.

The base cards were pretty much the best from the box, lol.
