Hot in the Shop – Week of March 7th, 2016 – LUXE! – This weekend saw one of the oddest moments in NBA history. The Los Angeles Lakers, with a season winning percentage under .200, defeated the Golden State Warriors. The Warriors, led by Stephen Curry have been rolling through the regular season with a winning percentage over .900. It was the largest margin, in terms of winning percentages by two teams ever recorded in the NBA.
A handful of new releases are of the focus of this week’s Hot in the Shop. A new, cross-over product should get some publicity this week as Topps MLB Wacky Packages make their debut. Previews of this set were randomly inserted into packs of 2016 Topps Series 1 Baseball.

Force of Will Alice Cluster Moonlit Savior – Booster A3 (3/11/2016) – The Journey of Destiny:
Dark Alice is defeated. Alice, barely surviving her injuries, retreats to Yggdrasil. As five nations mourn the loss of their kings, disaster once again strikes. Time and space shudder as the Primogenitor finally appears in the light of a black moon, and he is not alone.
Elsewhere, seeking revenge, Pricia and Marybell launch an assault on Valentina, now the overlord of the planet. The people of Shangri-La, fed up with their oppressive leader, have revolted against their master, lead by Shion, Valentina’s former right hand.
“Don’t worry Alice! I’m coming to help! When there’s evil that needs beating, the great hero shall appear in the light of the moon! Hehe, how was that? Pretty cool, huh?”
