Goal of the chase: The mythical Black Peacock 1/1 (plus White/Gold/Green Peacocks and signatures)

TL;DR (Why this release slaps)

• Chase appeal: One of the hobby’s most exhilarating Disney hunts thanks to the Peacock parallel ladder (Pink /45, Green /25, Gold /10, Black 1/1).

• Insert depth: Sensecapes Gen Z, Flower, Silver, Aura/Pink/Green Peacock, Kaleidoscope, Radiant Princess, Signatures, and more.

• Case odds (manufacturer guidance mentioned on box):

  • Per box: 1–4 limited-numbered cards, 4 Silver, 3 Aura, 1 Gen Z, 1 Flower or Aura Black Signature (/75).

  • Per case: 4 Kaleidoscope, 2 Aura Plaid (/225), 1 Radiant Princess, 1 Aura Pink (/45), 1 Signature (/100), 1 Green (/25) or Gold (/10) Peacock.

• Design: Color-rich character art that pops; classy black & white variants look fantastic in-hand.

• Value feels: Tight print run—~4,000 cases worldwide—keeps hits exciting and checklists collectible.

Insert Runs We Liked

• Sensecapes Gen Z (Mickey & Friends builds; Minnie, Goofy, Donald, etc.)

• Black & White variants (gorgeous—“instant set build” vibes)

• Silver and Refractors that shimmer without overdoing it

Notable favorites also included Minnie, Mickey, Ariel, Stitch, Judy Hopps, Donald, Daisy, Olaf, Elsa, and a deep mix from Pixar and classic Disney.

Rip Experience & QC Notes

• Pack feel: Wrappers are stiff; some required a careful slice.

• Card shape: Common with foil-heavy sets—many cards showed a light pack warp. These typically flatten in storage/top loaders and are widely accepted by graders.

• QC oddity: One pack had a laminate face issue on two cards—isolated but worth noting.

Design & Checklist Impressions

• Art direction: Bright, modern, and collector-friendly. Characters read instantly and look premium in photos.

• Black & White sub-set: Understated elegance; they elevate binder pages and slab walls alike.

• Scale: A “massive master set” with 1,374 designs across 20 sets; this is built to reward case and set builders.

• Chase structure: The Peacock spectrum is the heart of the product; even without the Black 1/1, Pink/Green/Gold provide meaningful milestones.

Should You Rip or Hold?

• Rip: If you love the chase, character-driven checklists, and rainbow-building, ripping is a blast.

• Hold/Grade: Pink/Green/Gold Peacock hits, character autos (Princesses, Fab Five), and popular heroes (Stitch, Elsa, Mickey, Pooh) should grade and display well.

• Set Build: With a 4,000-case estimate, collating subsets like Black & White or Sensecapes Gen Z is challenging but achievable—and visually rewarding.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Elite chase structure (Peacocks + signatures)

• Vibrant art and premium foils across inserts

• Low overall run (relative to demand) keeps hits compelling

• Broad character coverage (Classics + Pixar + modern favorites)

Cons

• Stiff packs/pack warp can frustrate beginners

• Occasional duplication of some inserts across boxes

• Minor QC quirks (rare but real)

Cardboard Addict DCS Verdict

Score: 3.5 / 10
AURA’s 2024 Disney release is a thrill-ride for Disney collectors. Between stunning foils, elegant Black & White cards, and the adrenaline of hunting Peacock parallels, this set delivers memorable hits and long-term display pieces. The Nemo /50, Belle /100, Daisy Aura /75, and Pocahontas Green /25 headlined our case—proof that even when the Black 1/1 doesn’t surface, the chase still pays off.
