I find that the Blaster Boxes are well worth purchasing....I however collect the manufactured patches and medals (medallions/coins) from Topps. Also retail exclusives can only be pulled buying retail (LOL). Toys R US parallels will have a much higher value, but your blaster box will cost $4-$5 more.
I've purchased retail boxes off the shelf (not hobby boxes but retail....about 32 packs box) and have pulled auto's. However they appear to be seeded 1 auto per retail case....never pulled a relic/patch though.
