2015-16 Upper Deck Full Force Hockey Cards

very fun break getting 17 inserts out of 18 packs in the hobby box 2 out of the 3 boxes opened got two 3d freshman cards beating the odds . very cool all the way around . great value for the buck!

Checking in to see if UD is coming out with 2016-17 Full Force?

Extremely ugly designs at least in my opinion. For the price point though its not too bad.

It’s more of a question than a rating, does anyone know of a difference between the blaster boxes and the hobby boxes? thanks in advance

Very fun product, I like the multiple sub-sets, and the fact that you get one “hit” per pack. The photos do not do justice, the cards look much better when you hold them. Except the Thermal Threats that are absolutely awful! I think the price point is a little high for the value though, but overall, it’s pretty good, diverse product that give you a very fun break.

The (Full) Force Awakens

Love this set, the die cut cards, autos and 3D cards are great. I loved the O Pee Chee platinum cards, and this fills the void nicely.

When I bought my first couple of boxes I was thinking I would either love it or hate it. I love it. Even with the exchange on the Canadian Dollar the price point works for me. I picked up a few more boxes and was fortunate to get a Lemeiux Auto (1:18,000) and a McDavid Auto (1:8,132). As a jets fan I also like the Jets cards included (lots of Ehlers) and of course the numerous McDavid cards included in the product and a fairly good Auto lineup I think it is well worth the cost. Fills the gap between UD1 and UD2 for me. Enjoy your website, I use it a lot!

Absolutely LOVE these cards- and alluding to another responder, I am 59 years old… older than the 16 yrs. of age that he alludes too! I have 9.8 MILLION cards in my 52 year old collection and these are some of my favorites… Thanks Upper Deck!!

i’m gonna say something very unpopular. i like these cards. they are a solid buy at 64$ a box. they are selling well and I like something different. the look is better than i expected and they are just a fun product.

I wanted to take a minute to thank the author for this resource and all the other posts describing other sets.
Admittedly, I haven’t collected in decades, but Connor McDavid has lured me to start, this time as a hobby with my son.
Whenever a new set is released, your blog is where I come to inform myself about what’s included in the set.
Interest rates have made collecting for those of us in Canada a pricey venture, adding about 35% more to the price of cards on eBay.
If our dollar was doing better I’d buy more than a box, but so far, it saves me money to buy the cards we want on eBay.

The interesting thing I’ve noticed about this set is that the Rising Force Gold cards seem the most rare, numbered to only /99.

It’s surprising to me to see so many autographs on eBay, they out number the RF Gold cards for sure. I think there has only been 4 of the numbered Connor McDavid RF Gold cards listed. They’re selling for around $500 each, although I expect that to increase as the listed cards in this SP sell.

Anyway, thanks again for all the work you do to keep us informed, new and seasoned collectors alike.

So far I have a Tim Hortons #1 Draft Pick, an OPC Redemption Connor McDavid, a YG rookie, the rookie redemption from Artifacts, including the l-V parallels, a red Parkhurst, and the Beckett covers cards with Connor McDavid, and one of the Rising Force Gold /99.

It’s taken some time, and patience, but what a lot of fun! My son is loving collecting too. :)

This is considered a low end product . It should be at the bottom of a toilet & flushed even deeper . Come on UD we all know you own hockey now but at least give us something ??? You guys are just turning into Money WHORES like all the big Co. Disney , Mavel , & so on . Not that you guys belong in such elite company . BIOYA.

Terrible, over priced product. I will say it again. UD has lied about this product from the start. This is probably geared towards 8 year olds because UD was told they need a product for kids. Guess what, kids think this product is terrible as well. This is not a kids hobby anymore!

They are sure not givng out the correct odds here..
I know they are on the packs and received from UD
but UD is not telling the truth for sure..
for non-auto inserted with higher odds – the odds are NO WAY like they show here..
UD is once again lying about the odds – so that people overvalue these inserts..
which UD can make a ton of because they are not numbered..
and then johhny thinks he had a great insert pull because of the high odds.. but
truth is UD lied about the odds to make you think you get value on inserts…
either number the cards and say that but dont overstate the insert odds..
so many of these are so much easier then what they are stating.. odds cant be right

Overall, my experience was great. There were lots of McDavid and Jack Eichel cards. I think the cards look sharp, the acetate cards, foil rookies, lots of serial numbered cards, great autos with a couple of weird exceptions (Thermal Threats for example…is a little creepy, but kind of cool at the same time). I say kudos to making a brand new product. UD is never going to please everyone no matter what they do, but I know I was sick to DEATH of the Series 1 boredom after the first 50 cases. This at least wasn’t a yawn fest. I enjoyed my inaugural year and will be back next year as well!

LOVE the originality of this line!

It’s so nice to see cards that really stand out from all the other sets.

Can’t wait to get another box.

This product turned out to be very unappealing. Cards look silly, insert names are silly and a weak checklist…Oh yea, there ARE redemptions after all. Upper Deck said this product had ZERO redemptions. What say you UD?? how do you have redemptions for signatures when there are so few? after you lied about that??

There will be ZERO autograph redemptions in 2015-16 Upper Deck NHL Full Force. All autograph content will appear LIVE in packs!���straight from the Upper Deck Facebook page

The design of some of the cards is very childish, there are some players that shouldn’t be there, such the ones mentioned by Canucks88, and there are no Jerseys or Patches. For a mid-end product I find there are a lot of flaws. I like the idea of a new product though and the acetates design. A fair number of autos and serial numbered cards.

I purchased two boxes today and had some nice stuff. I also completed the base set. The Blueprint cards are nice. I had something for each top rookie except Connor McDavid. Best card was a parallel base die-cut rainbow card of Crosby /25.
The one thing that sucked was no autograph in two boxes. This would go against the average as per Upper Deck.

Great box for kids at Christmas if they want some cool rookie cards to look at.

how do Ronalds Kenins, Josh Jooris and Andraj Nestrasil have an insert card in the goals set along with guys like crosby and gretzky and they are not even full timers in the NHL better yet stars ? Why couldnt you put guys like the Sedins, Benn, Seguin, or other bonified goal scorers?

I think this is just another money grab product from Upper Deck and I would not be buying any of this even if I had the money?

you guys are nuts !! this looks like a really nice product !!! upper deck is just trying to be creative !!
ud1 and ud2 and spa are great products but….SOMETHING NEW IS ALWAYS GOOD !!

When they were talking about this product on the CNC breakers channel they were making it sound like a cool new mid-end product…that got me excited as I love the “series 1, series 2, SP Authentic” price-range and general product segment…I really felt there was too much of a drive to ultra-high-end-expensive sets and so I was excited

the cards look absolutely ridiculous though…almost feels like an april fools joke or something they’re trying to pull off…if this is meant to appeal to kids and they’re pricing it accordingly then fine but I can’t see anyone above the age of 16 being into this set

Is this a real product? Thermal Threats? Ice Encounters?? What is happening at Upper Deck? Is this their way of bringing lower end products back?
