Will there be the classical Premium Limited / Gold Preminum Limited? Anybody got some news?
Not currently planned. There is going to be an update set released later in the year, so they may when these come out. No timings or detials of this release yet.

Today I watched several you tube videos with game guides.... No premium limited on the guide, just the "normal" 30 limited edition...

2 special cards on top, limited edition at the bottom. Good idea to keep at least the limited card safe.
I love these mega tins.
Also binder quality and design has improved, only size of back cover inlay is too small.
Panini doing a great job to make me order all available tins :p

Yes I have. I pulled Invincible & VVD in one pack from a mini tin. The video is on my channel. It's the one with all 4 tins opened from 6 days ago. ;)

Finally I made it(!)
The probably 10th Mitrovic Elite card I pulled, but I don’t mind cause the strike it magazine free pack had the VVD golden baller inside :cool:37438E04-7773-46F5-8264-8844B51315E9.jpeg

I detected some production errors I have never had before..:oops:

A scratched line up and mark noble got crushed :D
So many damaged cards. You should have seen my 2 LE cards from the Countdown Calendar. Both bent because they were shoved unprotected in the pockets. Packs were forced into the pockets as well which lead to cards getting bent as well.

I contacted PaniniUK on Instagram(i posted pictures and # them) but they never replied to me. Awful customer service from the UK division as usual.:rolleyes: Amateurs. Topps UK & GER are much better in terms of replying to customer complaints and fixing the problems.

I was surprised that no one had mentioned the condition of the cards so far.

I have never seen a Panini collection where I pulled so many damaged cards out of the boosters. In addition, an incredible number of them are cut with a massive offset.

You can see it quite well when you build a stack of cards. While this stack, for example, has very flat surfaces with the FIFA 365 Cards, the Premier League cards stick out in all directions.

And as @LFC1892 metioned: There is hardly a limited edition card that does not have any damage to the corners or edges.

Panini currently seems to have massively lowered its own quality standards in order to achieve the appropriate output. Even with the Fortnite cards, where the booster with 8 cards costs 3 EUR!!!, you unfortunately have to criticize the quality of many cards.

Condition of many cards have been shocking, i've thrown god knows how many away. I brought a lot of mini tins and had a right game getting Panini to replace the damaged Limiteds in them as it "one per person". I argued with them for a few days that if I go into a store they don't limit how man yI buy and they are responsible for replacing damaged goods. In the end they agreed and replaced all 12 damaged cards reluctantly

I opened many, many packs now and I mostly get the same team mate cards.
Missing a 3 or 4 per team while having others double 3 times..
In former days those team mate cards where good to throw away, now it seems they are worth the same as special cards.
I really wonder how the distribution got so unbalanced .
Any simple explanation?

Perhaps because individual parts of the collections are now being pre-produced more and more often in order to achieve even earlier publication dates? We had that with this collection with the kick-off multipacks, which only contained players from certain teams. This may lead to such an imbalance later on.

You can also, perhaps even better see this in the current UCL Match Attax collection from Topps, which is completely out of hand in this regard (keyword ManCity & Tottenham)

But that's just guesswork, no final explanation. Probably only someone who has internal insight into the manufacturers has that.
