Marvel Collect! by Topps 12+

I like the app but I personally like dc more. So I’m hoping u make a card game for dc aswell

This app has recently gotten worse with each update. It used to be a lot of fun to collect digital cards but now it’s ridiculously difficult and expensive to get the cards that you want.

I don’t mind spending money on diamonds in order to get the more difficult cards in a set, after all, that’s what Topps needs to stay in business. What I do have a problem with are the ridiculous “odds” published by Topps for acquiring a particular kind of card.

You can buy standard packs using the free coins Topps provides each day, and you can buy diamonds with your own real money to buy “super packs” which may guarantee that you receive certain cards or not, and/or increase the “odds” of getting a particular tiered card.

These “odds” never reflect my actual experience of opening packs whether it’s with coins or diamonds.

Let’s say a super rare card can be acquired from a standard pack purchased with free coins at a ratio of 1:75 packs. So, it would be reasonable to assume that if one were to purchase 75 packs they would pull one super rare card… not so fast!

Okay, now let’s try spending real money on diamonds and purchasing packs with much better odds of acquiring said super rare card at 1:15 packs… slow down!

Sure, cards are inserted randomly and perhaps you’re having a run of plain old bad luck? This is where the borderline fraud comes in: you can buy 150+ packs using coins and not get a single super rare card at all. Same goes for the packs purchased using the diamonds that you bought using real money.

Here’s the best part: this happens all the time! Maybe you’re reading this and thinking that it’s just “sour grapes” from a jaded user? It’s not. All you have to do is read the comments from other users on each product page and it’s not just a few.

I’ve reached out to Topps about this and their customer service is awful. They didn’t even respond to my email a couple months ago when I asked about it.

Bottom line is that the app is a major cash grab and I wouldn’t recommend downloading it.

5 stars out of 5 because it is fun to collect anything, let alone Marvel collectibles.

Love how there is almost new products everyday. Totally sucked into buying diamonds as the envy for other collections grew. Expect to be the kid with the crappy card collection on the block if you don’t want to shell out for better odds at getting the premium product.

Also not loving the card designs. I expect better layouts and designs for the epics and super rares especially if I am paying for diamonds to get them. If the only difference between a common and a rare is border colour difference, and you are okay with that, then shame on your creative team.

Love the tilt and shiny features to some cards. Must have a small team if Topps keep recycling those two features.

Hope to see some of the below suggestions implemented:
- adding sound as a feature. A card with a quote from the character?
- adding short animated clips/ video as a feature for a card
- would love to see epics that can be put together to form a larger card, with multiple sensory features.
- serially numbering the epics and maybe super rares
- checklists. no great card sets are complete without a checklist
- make it easier to check what cards a potential trading partner needs to complete a set. if this already exists please let me know.
