What's Buzz-worthy: I opted for a trio of this smaller format over one box -- more Buzz Breaks that way -- and this one offered up a good name for perhaps the best card ... but with some pretty weak centering that wasn't much of an issue for the rest of the box, which was pretty clean and stacked with stars as this one always is. The design is pretty over the top -- there's nothing subtle here -- so that either probably really works or really doesn't for many of you. I'm fine here -- it is what it is -- and this tin delivered well. You get a variation in every tin and the ornaments are one in three. There are other parallels of the Trees here and that's about the only chase other than the variations. If you want to chase the hits -- there's one per box here -- then you can find more. I probably will when I see them in-person. The design is a little heavy here but since my flagship buying was easily at an all-time low this year between all three series this one offers up a chase for stars in a more concentrated form with a quarter of the base set in every tin.

Product Grade: A (nothing subtle about this design ... so, to a degree, it might be improved over some past years)
Box Grade: A
Fun Grade: A (for the price, it's low-risk with a good mix -- but boxes are safer with a hit every time)
