Italians and australians have to buy packs and it's much more troublesome to complete, mostly the 4 LE's (one per 30-pack box).Have to give Topps a bit of credit. It's not a bad update collection at all. The fact that you only need to buy all 4 boxes to get the full collection & the 4 new LE cards is to collectors advantage. No need to keep buying boxes to finish the binder.
Furthermore, the cards look much improved with well thought of sub-sets such as Group Stage MVP & UCL Centurion which were both designed with 2-3 poses of each player. Group Stage hero is nice as well.
The CL collection by Topps has progressively improved since the first season.
There are two Red Star cards, both special. Also a couple of other teams not featured first like Shakthar and CSKA, plus obviously Ajax and Benfica.@LFC1892 - I agree, I have only seen the card list and it seems more varied. Good to see a Red Star (old money) player in there too and not just sticking to the same old clubs.
I am guessing that the binders I am seeing from German sellers on Ebay are mini binders?
The inclusion of Ajax was good as well especially that they knocked out the rich bitches of Madrid in the last 16.@LFC1892 - I agree, I have only seen the card list and it seems more varied. Good to see a Red Star (old money) player in there too and not just sticking to the same old clubs.

Didn't know that Italy & Australia have to buy packs!!! Very odd decision by Topps, as usual.Italians and australians have to buy packs and it's much more troublesome to complete, mostly the 4 LE's (one per 30-pack box).
Agree with everything and now that Topps is betting their chips mostly in UCL, I'm hopeful their next season set will be even better... Now they just need to improve their sticker collections, which are still terrible, provide a better distribution (too many times here their first batches are in small quantity and this new RtM19 was sold like that too) and sort things out in their new website.
