Default Anyone dissapointed with 09/10 Trilogy?

I remember in the past years Trilogy being a solid product but for $135 a box I dont think its worth taking a chance on, most of the hits are not numbered and if you pull a top rookie its numbered to /499. You can get a box of OPC Premier for $155 and get a rookie auto game used. Even some of the tougher pulls like the 6 way jerseys are not numbered. My point is if you are making a product that the start price for a box is over $125 shouldnt the hits be numbered????

What you guys think?

Looking at the breaks, they havn't been too thrilling. I bought my 1 PACK, pulled a Crosby auto. That's enough for me!

I agree 100%. I was very disappointed in my case. SPx is a much better buy for RC's since they have an auto & jersey, even though some are numbered to 799. But I'm so stupid I may get another case of Trilogy because I can't imagine it could be as bad. Ohwha-tafoo-liam.

I got the weird case with double the jerseys and 12 numbered rookies per box. My total sales were over $2000 and my case cost was $1400. One lucky case was enough.

I passed on Trilogy. I just don't think the value is there and I overspent on UD Series 1 this year, so I didn't have much of a choice.. After seeing some of the breaks, I'm glad I was able to pass on it. I think it's 1 hockey product we can do without each year IMHO.

I think the 1st year of Trilogy was probably the one one I thought was a 'good' break. Trilogy hockey and BK pretty much both went downhill fast after year 2 or 3.

I think the only consistent breaks year after year (presuming you are opening fresh boxes from a case) are UD S1 and the Cup. Sometimes UD Artifacts is not a bad gamble of a break if you move the rookie redemptions early enough. Your mileage may vary.

What I've seen of Trilogy, I'm far from impressed...now I don't think it's as bad as SPx though, which I think was a garbage product this year (and wasn't too pleased with last year).

I wish UD would have moved either SP Authentic or Champs up to earlier this year instead of released them so close together, cause I think those two are going to be two of the best products of the year.

Trilogy is the pits, I'd say I got 50% of the price of the box in value.

How is that any different than any other UD product? 50%? You're doing great!
